The Woes of the
NewEV Married.

They were young married folk, and were
making US Sunday afternoon call. we were
young married folk, too, and, as we four were
all but strangers in the city, we did consider
able Wis iting among ourselves, says writer in
the St Louis Republic. We had pretty well
exhausted all general topics, this afternoon,
and were stretching stray suggestions into
conversations. We were boarding, so we mad
no domestic affairs of our own, and we mad
exchanged opinions Of our respective land
ladies so often that neither's grievances were
Of interest to the other. A long silence was
broken by the young husband-the other one.
He began with smile, which developed into
a grin, and finally became chuckle. He had
evidently thought of something, and we all
frightened with expectation.
''Well, what is it?' / asked, and then he
told his story. His wife tried at the beginning
to stop him, but he would not have it.
Down at our place we have two rooms,
he said, In one of them is n stationary
washstand. About a week ago my wife
imagined that she smelled sewer gas, and
upon investigation concluded that it came up
the pipe leading from the washstand We
tried ali sorts of ways of remedying the evil,
but nothing succeeded until procured a lot
of small corks and fitted them tightly into the
outlets of the basin. You know there are n
number of small holes near the top OF the
basin to aid the main duct if necessary, in
carrying out the water. OF course these had
to be filed. l had quite a time getting the
right size corks, but l persevered and was
successful. This was in the morning, and
when had completed my task went down
town.
What followed know only from hearsay.
That has it that there were gathered around
the table at noon five women; that there were
no men in the house. During the meal it was
noticed that drop of water fell on the table.
This called attention to the ceiling, which was
darkened by moisture. There was an Immedi-
ate rush for the next floor above. l have
never been able to learn just what happened
when those women found the water running
full force and the chairs and the tables all
but floating. However, from circumstantial
evidence. l Judge that they went directly for
those corks. had put cork in the bottom,
also. as we fancied that the old rubber stopper
was loose.
Well. those corks were so swollen with the
water that it was impossible to pull them out
or drive them through. A great deal of fem
inine fuss and hysterical, unavailing work
may be imagined here. which finally resolved
itself into a message to the next house for
help-masculine help preferred. The son OF
the house responded"
"Yes," 1 suggested as he paused, ''what
did he do?'
The young married man looked at his wife
with a quizzical smile. She glanced ner-
vously at him, grew red hesitated. and then,
as our attention was entirely directed 20 her,
she saw that some reply was expec'su.
"Well," she said, the first thiNg he did
was to turn off the water"

A writer on obesity says: 1.-The safest way
to reduce obesity is to begin by eating and
drinking less and to take as much exercise
as possible, increasing it gradually day by
day. Butter, fat, oil, sauces. haricot beans,
peas. vermicelli, rice, tapiOca, macaronl all
fatten. Bread should be eaten in moderation,
and stale or toasted. All sweets are forbidden.
Plainly roasted or boiled meats taken in
moderation with plain boiled green vegeta-
bles may be eaten, also fruit, apples and
oranges especially.
Gooseberries and currants are good when
in season, and for drink. lemonade unsweet-
ened. weak tea and black coffee. Housework
is especially recommended. such as dusting,
sweeping, moving the furniture about, knead-
ing bread. Gladstone fells trees. Saving
wood is excellent. Walking comes next. Cold
baths are valuable"
An ideal piece of toast is crisp and golden
throughout. Many say they prefer toast
which is soft inside, and that they cannot eat
hard, dry toast. but the ideal piece of toast is
not really so hard as it seems. 1t breaks and
crumbles very easily, and moistens quickly in
the mouth. If one would persevere with q
slice he would soon learn to preferlt.
Al all events. that which is soft inside should
not be given TO the sick. 1t is better to make
the toast dry and then moisten it, if need be,
by dipping the slices into hot water for an
instant, not soaking them.

A FREE wool SHEEP MAN.


Some of our Utah Republican sheets
E short time ago were Daring the Dem
ocrats to name a Wyoming sheep
owner who was in favor of free wool:
That there are a number of strong
Democrats in that state, who have
heavy interests in sheep and who are
in favor of the Wilson bill, is well
known, but no one cared to speak for
them, as they are able to speak for
themselves. We find the following in
the Cheyenne Leader. and commend it
to the protectionist sheets that have
doubts as to free wool Wyoming
sheep-owners:
Senator ]. J. Hurt is in town and
looks younger and sprightlier than he
has for several years. He has been
hard at work looking after his bust
ness for the past year Senator Hurt
is what might be called a rank free
trader. He believes in throwing the
ports Of the country wide open for
everything and supporting the federal
government by direct taxation of the
people. He has still nearly all of his
last years wool clip on hand and viii
not allow himself to be bamboozled
out of half it's value by throwing it on
the market If free wool is permitted
under the Wilson bill he viii make a
big thing out Of his wool
He spoke with a good deal of en-
thusiasm over the outlook in the Cas-
per country. If they only have a liv-
ing show through favorable silver leg

tion as 1hay never have before doomed

The New York Outlook. speaking of
the alleged failure of Christianity to
redeem society, says:
ut is assumed that Christianity has
been tried for eighteen hundred years,
and that, while it has done much good,
measured by it's aims and its claims,
it has been found wanting. This it said
so often and in so many different ways
that a good many people have come
to believe that it is true. AS a matter
of fact, however, Christianity has new
er been tried. Individuals have made
the experiment, but society as a whole,
never. Although the doctrine of hope
OF faith, and of love has been preached
for eighteen hundred years. and SPLEEN
didly illustrated in individual lives, So
ciety has never yet been organized on
these principles, and has never yet at
tempted to live by them So far as
the world at large is concerned, these
are only visions which have floated be

talked; they are not practical rules by
which it has endeavored to live
Unbelief sometimes is as intolerant
as fanatical belief. The Outlook re-
marks;

thousand mendicants from California,

words or turn their nngual batteries

Let them ponder on the dispatches
relating to the action of the great ex-
ponent of Republicanism. in calling
out the state troops with Calling guns,
and compelling the "Industrials' to
vacate the train at Mount Sterling.
And if they have any consistency,
then let them show, If they can, that
it was right for the Governor of Ohio
to use military force against the Gal
vim division, but terribly wrong for
the Governor of Utah to proceed I'M
der the decision of the courts to pro-
tect railroad property from the Kelly
contingent. and require a defiant rail-
road company to obey the law.
We believe both the Governors were
right in the course they pursued. We
believe this uprising ought to have
been handled by the state authorities
wherever it disturbed the public peace
or offered a menace to the public vel
fare. The wrong that has been done
occurred where this insensate move
ment has received official encourage
ment. But those who denounced Gov
ernor West must now condemn Gov
ernor Mckinley. Or will they con
tend that what was vicious in Dem
oerat is virtuous in Republican?
Ii this march on Washington shall
prove to be the beginning of an assault
upon property, the mutterings of a
storm that shall sweep over the land
resulting in bloodshed, destruction
and revolution, those officers and
journals which helped to mass the
elements that burst in fury upon the
nation, will be largely responsible for
all the horrors that on horrors head
accumulate.

Motais. that the border OF the false ribs
on the left side descends until it is in
contact with the lilac crest, so that the
larger curvature of the stomach is pres
sed upon the spleen and general mass
of the intestines A fold is also formed
at the upper part of the abdominal wall,
and the anterior surface of the stomach
follows the curve These conditions pro-
duce a mechanical hindrance to the
movements of the cardiac stomach. The
function of the thoracic viscera is
equally interfered with, owing to the
drawing together of the ribs and also
by the descent of the left half of the
diphragm toward the upper border of
the stomach.
The obstacle of respiration thus Gre
ated reacts on the heart, the contrac-
tions of which are moreover mechanic

"a certain amount of torsion. The effect
of the attitude is especially marked
when an organic affection of the heart
exists. DR.. Motais is of the opinion
that this position protracts the duration
of dyspepsia. He has found that if
children who suffer from it are made
to assume a correct posture in school
the symptoms subside more rapidly
The same observations are applicable

Teachers ought to pay attention to
this, and instruct the scholars to sit in

found that studies can be pursued with
far greater ease under this condition

of both sexes.
