Success in NIatrlmouy.

A young woman who has made n
highly prosperous marriage, discourses
upon success n matrimony in the follow
ing sensible strain: 81 never would have
got my husband if | had not shown my
self a good fellow. My husband first
made sure that, instead of being a clog
on his diversions, | could be his com
pauion in them. In fact ! could help
them along The nineteenth-century
woman to be successful in matrimony-
which is quite a different thing from
winning fellowships at Yale, writing
prize odes at Harvard, being senior
wranglers at Cambridge-must be able
to walk social tight-rope without fall
tering, She must be able to look down
abysses without falling in. She must
be the mistress of all situations She
must be capable of extremes When he
is merry she must know how to dance;
when he is sad she must be able to sing
psalms. My experience is that my feet
perform more service than my voice.
Especially she must be learned and
skillful in eating and drinking, and
afterward be able to bind up his head
with her crimps fresh and smooth The
place, you see, is no sinecure; but it has
its advantages. This view, while per
haps somewhat exaggerated, is un'
doubtedly the proper one to present &c
marriageable young women, for nc
matter how much affection there may
be between husband and wife the prac
tical necessities Of life are bound to b'
observed and as the circus man said
"The animals have got to be fed or th,
show can't go on"

BteRmship Whitney Run Down by the
Warren Liner Ottoman.
Boston, Sep. 29,-The freight steam
ship H. NJ Whitney, of the Metropolitan
line, bound for New York with large
miscellaneous cargo, was run, into last
evening at $50 o'clock and sunk by the
Warren Line steamship Ottoman that had
been released from Quarantine and was
coming up the harbor The collision oc-
Cured off Governors Island
Although the steamship Whitney was
under water in 10 minutes, no lives were
lost. The Whitney sank in about 20
fathoms of water and will probably be a
total loss. She was comm 4uded by Capt
S. NJ Hallett. The vessel was compara-
lively new, built of iron, and carried a
crew of q.

The Whitney was struck just forward
Of the fore rigging on the starboard side,
below the waters edge. A hole six feel
long was made.

A woman ought 10 have sense enough
to carry an umbrella without endanger-
ing other peoples lives, remarks an
irascible man, but in ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred she hasn't The
woman with an umbrella is dreaded by
every body You come down town with
her, and she let's it snuggle against
your petticoats and drip its cold shower
into your boots, Then, when you leave
the car, she manages to have that UNI
brella just at such an angle that, unless
your guardian angel has a firm hold on
your collar, you're sure to fall over it.
In the street she walks very fast and
holds that umbrella firmly, so its edges
rake your eyes. OF course she never
sees you, but you learn TO hate her with
a deep green hatred, which is intensi-
fed if she happens to walk upstairs in
front of you.

there is no quicker or surer way Of
doing 1t than to consult his business
acquaintances. If the man is not smart
they may pity him; II unfortunate,
they will sympathize with him, for Ia
the battle Of life the successful man
gets enough hard knocks to be able to

knocked over. Regarding personal
honesty, however, and the respect
which man really has for the rights

life is a standard of comparison which
seldom fails.

A PECULIAR INDUSTRY.

Tho Raising OF Dogs In Northern China
for Their Beautiful skins.
Dog farming is not unknown In civ
ilized countries, though the dogs there
are bred for petting and hunting. In
the extreme north Of China they are
bred for their skins. In Mandchoury
the skins are very beautiful; the hair is
long, thick and silky and Of remark
ably fine texture. This is explained by
the climate of the Mandchoury, which
is exceedingly cold and the dogs must
of necessity be protected by thick, heavy
fur Connoisseurs declare that finer
skins of this kind have never been
found. The animals are killed by
strangulation in the winter, because at
that time the hair is longest and thick
est, but none are killed that are not
eight months old.
The price paid for this fur Is ridicu-
lousy small. A large mantle measur-
ing about one hundred and twenty
inches is sold for three dollars and a
half About eight skins are needed to
make such a mantle. The skins must
not only be assorted and matched in
color and quality but the mantle be
made as well, certainly curious indus
try that deals with profits which seem
to us abnormally small. 1t would GER
tainly be novelty in America to see a
parlor rug of dogskins-for instance, a
eenterpiece of big yaller stray dog
surrounded by patterns shading of in
gray, black-and-tan and spitz, the whole
finished with a variegated border of as.
sorted puppies.

Chinese financial affairs has caused him
to be subjected to much averse criticism,
has filed a complaint in the State Depart

He alleges that Charles E. Burke, a
New York lawyer, tried to extort from
Minister Tsui an alleged bill amounting
to more than $4,000 The Minister, &C
oording to Count Mitkiewitz's statement,
refused to pay the bill, and asked the
Count to request protection from the

assigned for the unusual action of Minis

"The problem has been kept in mind at
this observatory for several years back and
it was settled conclusion from the begin
ming that the spirit-leyel should be re placed
by mercury. Two ways of doing so were
possible, which may be called the rejecting
and the floating principles. Neither of
them is new, The former is in constant
use in connection with the meridian circle

early in 1891 the plan was so far ad-
vanced that the floating principle was
adopted. Yet it remained incomplete until
Professor G. A. Fargis, S. j., suggested the
application of the interchangeable. In
the FIRST week OF August. 1891, the order
was given for the new instrument. Its con-
struction was not Entrusted to one Of the
known instrument-makers, AS the adyisa-
bility OF subsequent changes arising from
experience was seen. The portability of
the instrument did not enter into the plan
proposed, and no attempts were made to
secure lightness or graceiulness OF make.
Two parts of the instrument, however.
had to be perfect from the nnipg-the
objective and the photochronograph. The
photochronograph used in latitude work diff
fers in several respects from the one used
In transit work. Both are the invention OF
Professor Fargis. It will not be too much
to say, then, that the photochronograph.
in its various shapes, has succeeded in soly
ing the double problem of determining, by
way Of photography, the co-ordinates OF
Observation-Disclosures and longitude"
The photochronograph used for latitude
work consists of two simple photochrono-
graphs symmetrcally placed. One of the
occultng bars Is placed little behind the
The morning call., 1892-10-21

other, so as to permit them to overlap with
out touching when the current is made, thus
completely cutting off the stars from the
sensitive plate. The instrument essentially
consists OF a Photographic telescope attached
to float placed in masonry.
Professor Fargis himself says:
at IL desirable to state here that the re-
suits are not considered final, because the
declination will have to be carefully seruti-
nized when the material is more abundant
and because of the defective construction of
a microscope.
1.-TWO conclusions, however, may be
drawn from these results. First, that the
Photographic method is as applicable to
latitude determinations as it is to those of
longitude. In both cases fewer stars. in
deed. can be observed in given time than
by the usual method, but this disadvantage
seems amply compensated by the accuracy
OF the single results.
'The intention Is to make this observatory
a permanent station for studying the Pc
riodic variations OF the pole. A second
permanent latitude station is being erected
at Manila. in the Philippine Islands. 1t will
be furnished with a floating zenith telescope
and latitude photOchronograph like those
here described. The future director of that
station, Father Joseph Algue. S. j., is now
at this observatory with the view of IA
miliariziDg himself with this method. Since
Manila is almost opposite Washington in
longitude, these two stations seem to be well
adapted for controlling the periodic varia-
tions of the pole by uniform method, In a

that any persons who might reveal his do
nestle associations were to him objects of
suspicion and often wrath.
For o great many years Lady TennysOn
has beed confirmed invalid. When she
was married to TenDyson, in the spring of
1850, there was no girl in all England who
was Of happier and more healthy DISPOSE
tion. But shortly after her younger child
was born she was taken with so far incur
able malady. Teunyson, as is well known
never cared for fashionable society, or, in
fact, any general association with average
persons; and the sickness of his wife in a
great measure made his retirement more
complete.
Lady Tennyson is not woman who lacks
the attributes Of genius. She has musical
talent and her works show an inspiration
somewhat remarkable in a woman of her
character. Her compositions are well
adapted to such OF her husbands poems as
she has set to music. Lady Tennysoh's
music is better known in English drawing
rooms than its composer, and outside OF the
poets homes in Sussex and the Isle of Wight
few know her even by sight. And in the
vicinity of her homes she is almost as little
known.
Lady Tennyson is between 60 and 20 years
