WOES OF THE NEWLY MARRIED.

They were Young married folk and
were making US Sunday afternoon
call. We we're young married folk, TOO,
aud, as we four we're all but strangers
In the city, we did considerable visiting
among ourselves, says writer In the
ST. Leuis Republic. We had pretty
well exhausted all general topics this
afternoon and were stretching stray
suggestions into conversations. We
were boarding, so we had 10 domestic
affairs OF our own, and we had e1chang-
ed opinions OF our respective landladies
so often that neither's grivances were
OF interest 10 the other. A long silence
was broken by the young husoand-the
other one. He began with smile,
which developed into grin, and hnally
became a chuckle. He had evidently
thought OF something and we all bright
ened with expectation.
"Weu, what is it?" I asked, and then
be told his story. His wife tried at the
beginning TO stop him, but he would
not have IL.
Down at our place we have two
rooms" he said. "In one OF them is
stationary washstand. About week
ago my wife imagined that she
smelled sewer gas, and upon investiga-
ton concluded that il came up the pipe
leading from the washstaud. We tried
all sorts Of WAYS of remodylng the evil,
but nothing succeeded until l procured
a lot OF small cOrkS and fitted them
tightly into the outlets OF the basin.
You know, there are q number OF small
holes near the top OF the basin TO ala
the main duct, II necessary, in carrying
ont the water. or course these had 10
be filed. I had quite time getting
the right sized cOrks, but perseVered
and was successful. This was In the
morning, and when had completed the
task 1 went down town.
"What followed l know only from
hearsay. That has il that there were
gathered around the table at noon hye
women; there were no men In the house.
During the meal il was noticed that
drop OF water fell on the table. This
called attention 10 the ceiling, which
was darkened by moisture. There was
an immediate rush for the next floor
above. have never been able TO learn
inst what happened when those women
found the water running full force, and
the chairs and tables all but floating.
However, from circumstantial evidence,
! Judge that they went directly for
those corks. I had put cork In the bot
tom also, as we fancied that the old rub
Der stopper was loose. Well, those cOrks
were 50 swollen with the water that IL
was impossible TO pull them out or drive
them through. A great deal OF feminine
fuss and hystericai, unavsiling work
may be imagined here, which finally
resolved itself into 3 message to the
next house for help-masculine help
preferred. The son Of the next house
responded"
yes" I suggested as he paused,
what did he do?"
The young married man looked at his
wife with Quizzical smile. She glanced
nervously at him, grew red, hesitated,
ard then, as our attention was entirely
directed to her, she saw that some reply
was expected.
"WeIl, she said, 1.-THE first thing he
did was TO turn of the water"

Buy a soft sponge and twice a day, or

Nowadays, in various barber shops,

originated In Boston. 1t is a most
luxurious method. After the face has
been duly scraped towels moistened
with steam and as hot as one can bear
them are put around the face. The
sensation is extremely soothing and
agreeable. A judicious fee bestowed
upon the tonsorial artist will prolong
it pleasantly, one towel after another
being applied to the number Of dozen
perhaps.
The Boston barber shop that intro
duced this system has found another
use for it in a modified form. 1t enjoys
A regular patronage from giddy youths
and men obout town who suffer periodi-
cally from swelled heads in the morn
ing. They visit the establishment re-
ferred to and have them reduced by

The method consists in wrapping first
around the head hot dry towel. Over
this a wet steamed towel, superheated
is put, aud then another and another.
