NEW YORK, March 25 Somebody
has been writing about husbands and
what they ought to be like, actually
mentioning what they should offer in
return for all the splendid qualities
which they require in a wife. This is
unusual. Somehow or other the nee
essary qualities of wives are always be-
ing written about, and it has swollen
out to subject of vast dimensions, but
every one is singularly silent on what
are the requirements in husbands.
Some think no doubt that the article is
so difficult to obtain that even if it is not
hrst-rate quality they have reason to
congratulate themselves that they have
got it at all. But surely if man has
right to require economy and intellec-
tual companionship, knowledge of cook
Ing, typeWriting. politics, experienced
tricycling and whist playing in a wife,
the wife has a right to require
something in husband. Something
one thing, say, in return for all these
accomplishments. He should have an
easy temper or sense of honor, or nice
hands, or talent for reading aloud or
singing comic songs. Of course, no
one would ask for constaney or earnest
ness or devotion, that would be asking
too much; but just trife in return for
the accumulation of useful and orna-
mental qualities with which the modern
wife is expected to be endowed.
Home dressmaking we forgot to men
ton among a young lady's matrimonial
marketable qualities, but it is one of the
requirements sometimes mentioned. 1t
is not an easy thing to make the gowns
that are now so fashionable-those that
fit the figure closely and yet have no
bosom cores. They are. of course. cut
on the bias, strained across the bust and
''pinched" to the waist, drawn in with
very fine pleats. The princesse gowns are
still fashionable, and they are hand
somely braided or embroidered. Very
marrow borders of velvet with jet at
each side are used on the edges of

bright colors. Deep frils of silk or

COPIED FROM GREECE.
An Evening Gown Rich With
Classic FreSCceS and FrieZes.

The Grecian evening gown has been
adapted from the classic frescoes and
friezes by an ingenious woman who
seems to have hit upon happy and
practical union of the ancient and the
modern. says the Detroit Free Press.
The material is of old ivory satin. heavy
and graceful in draping, and with a
wonderful sheen and simmer in the
bail room. 1t has first a petticoat of
yellow satin, with demi-traln PLAN on
the outside, but lined half way to the
waist with plated friIls of lace on the
under side Over this is draped an adap-
ton of the old Greek chiffon, bordered
everywhere with broad band of gold
tracery set at intervals with small
rhineStoneS sewed on over tinsel that
lends them brilliapcy. The bodice is
wrought all over with the gilt threads
and jewels. A heavy girdle of gold
closed with an antique clasp Grapes the
front in graceful folds and confines il to
the figure. Of course one hardly re-
quires to be told that only stately Junos
can fill this dress. The dainty little
darlings will have TO forego Indulgence
in it, because nothing in the world is so
dreadful to woman as the conscious
ness that she is ridiculous.

The sin of suicide is not more evident than Is its folly Ia the vast majority of cases the ills which provoke this des- perate act derive their force not from the actual misery they iahict, but from nervous appreiiensiveness. TEey are the shadows Of clouds which threaten, but may and often do pass away.
 1t was one Of tIT cruel ironies of fate that the suicide of M .Pmadol, who had stultifed his most brilliant writings by accepting a poSt-that of minister from France to Washington under the Second Empire. took place just as the Liberal cause, with which his naine had always been associated, was on the eve of triumph
 When Mary Wollstonecraft deserted by her American lover paced up and down Putuey bridge saturating her gar incnts with the rain so that they might not prevent her from sinking in the water her life seemed indescribably dreary- without ray of hope Yet this very hour of despair proved to be the turning point in her history, and from it dated the truest bliss she had ever known-a period of welded happi- ness and joyous work. And so with 'the marvellous boy, the sleepless soul that perished in his pride, Chatterton. He poisoned himself in his wretched garret at the very time when the feet of one who would have relieved his pow erty were turned toward the street in which he died. .-- Boston Transcript

Roman Wealth.

When L. Calpurnius Piso was ap- pointed governor of Macedonia for one year he drew for his outfit from the pub lie treasury is, ,OO0, 900 sesterces or el50,- GOO. He did not want the money for that purpose; everything required by a proconsul was supplied to him by the province. Piso simply took the money for himself, and lent it out in Rome at high interest. C. Verres was charged by Cicero with having robbed Sicily of e35O. 900 in three years, besides many valuable works of art He practically admitted his guilt by retiring from Rome without attempting any defense. Clc- gro, when governor of the poor province of Cilicia. found himself the richer in one year by e2O,OO0, and he was perhaps the only proconsul who ever handed over his surplus to the state.
 There can be no doubt that Cicero and the younger Pliny received large sums from their clients while those clients were still living. Balbus is not likely to have secured the argument Pro Baiho' for mere trifle, and the gratitude Of Sicily for the prosecution of VeITes un- acubtedly took a very substantial form Apart from all such honoraria, it IS re- corded that both Cicero and the younger Pliny received legacieS from clients to the amount of el10,O00 t}ibbon tells us on the authority of Olynpiodorus that seyeralof the richest senators had aa in- come of elG0.GO0 year-withoutcom- putting the stated provision of corn and wine.

Some years ago at hawking party on Salisbury Plain, falcon was flown at carrion crow, which it struck after a long fight, and the two birds came down like parachute to the ground.
 The party galloped up and were about to dismount to take mp the falcon, when the mate of the crow suddenly de- sceuded from a great height with such velocity Chat the wings made a awhizzing sound like that of q falling stone and dashed onto the falcon. The force of the blow struck the hawk from it's quarry, which was uninjured by the grapple in the air, and both crows flew on unhurt into copse near In this case the crow clearly understood the cause of the danger and the possibility of a rescue when the falcon was on the ground and least able to act on the of fensive.
 But the courage and devotion which prompted it to overcome the natural dread which the falcon inspires, and the added terror of a party of mounted men in hot pursuit, place the crows claim to admiration on a very high leyel.-Lon- don Spectator

snlnhuron. yanor ln London.


 No less an authority than the presi- dent of the Institute of Civil Engineers has declared that the sulphurous yapor produced during the combustion of coal is most beneficial to the inhabitants of London, disagreeable as it undoubtedly is.
 As many as $50 tons of sulphur are thrown into the air in one winters day, and the enormous amount of sulphurous acid generated from it deodorizes and disinfects the air, destroying disagree able smells emanating from refuse heaps and sewers and killing the disease germs which find their way into the atmos- phere.
 There may be a good deal of truth in this view, but there is undoubtedly an other side to the question. It is an old comparison that a doctor and his drugs bear relationship to the patient and the disease like that of a policeman to- ward a householder attacked by a gar roter. The policeman lays about with his truncheon; sometimes he hits the householder, sometimes the gnroter, and the good or ill which results from his interference will depend upon which party happens to get the most and the heaviest blows.
 This simile is admirably suited to sui, phurous acid in London fogs, for al- though it may be beneficial to the Lon don householders by destroying mi crobes it certainly frequently does them harm by attacking tl,eir lungs and bringing on bronchitis and asthma, which sometimes prove rapidly fatal to say nothing of the minor discomforts of disagreeable taste, filthy smell, stuffed nose, husky throat, smarting eyes and headache.
