HOW TO BIZ A S1GCESSFUL WIFE

y clever woman writes as follows to the
! New ork Sun. Let wome /, old and
young, listen to the advice that am about
to give them. Let it not enter one ear
only to pass out of the other, | beg, but
take to heart and resolve to act upon it
Immediately.
''lf you are married, going to be married
or have just been married, let this be your
rule: Arise with bright, cheerful heart,
resolved to do your duties willingly. You
may say, oh! it is hard Yes, it may be-
but if you will try it will become second
nature to you; and you will wonder at
yourself
DO not forget to give your husband
his morning kiss and greet him in the ear
~ morn with bright, happy cheerful
face. Do not let the sunbeams outdo in
this.
1T it be rainy morning, or cold and
damp, or clear and bright, be attentive
and see that your husband has the neces-
saries required for such days, and warn
him, as wife only can do, to be sure and
take good care of himself for his little
wife's sake. At breakfast have bright
cheerful conversation on hand so that
your husband may go forth to business
with light heart. Never allow him to 60
down to this meal alone if possible AL
ways attend to the door, and let him not
depart without good-by kiss Then re-
turn indoors and do all your duties cheer
fully and with good will. Whatever
meals your husband takes home, luncheon
or dinner, be sure that all he likes is upon
the table, according to your means, and
take good care that all is hot
When it is time for him to arri, home
be ready to welcome him after his long
days work; let him always know that
there will be a happy, bright, cheerful lit
tie wife waiting for his coming. Greet
him, not with accounts of ali that has gone
wrong, but see that all is comfortable for
him, be interested in all his business af-
fairs and not be cross with him if he is
little out of humor, for he has annoy

s.oubie you with, and he has been work
ing all day. Wait till he is in good hu-
NOR and has rested, then relate to him all
the doings of the day, ask his advice, and
for he knows best
These things are not hard to accom-
plish, but ust the reverse, and if you try
to perform them you will be astounded
Remember, YOU are never too Old to
learn it is never too late to commence,
nor is it ever too late to amend. If you
do these things your husband will say,
even if he does not express these feelings:
Poor old fellow, jim; l pity him, all
alone; if he only had a wife like mine

THE SNt B.
X ATE. MILNER i.NBn.

''Snuh' is il word of foreign origin not
pure Anglu-SaNon. The fact indicates
that our bcaf-cating, mcad-Swilling Saxon
ancestors were two stupid or too good
natured to understand this gentle means
of taking down. There is no mention
of the word nor alluSion to the act in any
of the remains of Anglo Saxon literature
Bcde, Aclfred, and the unknown author
of BeoWulf are equally silent upon the
subject. Neither did the word creep into
the language through the Gallic loOphole,
as may be seen from Il careful study of the
Tine Romaunt of the Rose and like com
positions. which mark the transition stage
/ from French to English. From this we
/ infer that the French from the rcmotcst
| times endured the martyrdom imposed by
| good manners without ever availng them
! selves of the privileges of Snubbing. The
! fact that the only word given in the
! French from the remoteSt times endured
/ the mar.yrdom imposed by good manners
! without ever ayailing themselves of the
/ privilege of snubbing. The fact that the
only word given in the French lexicon as
! equivalent for snub is reprimande, con-
strued as reproof or censure, goes to show
that good manners and gentle considera-
tion for others still remain national char
acterstics in France.
"Snub' and 'Snub' stand together in
the dictionary as two distinct words, one
| coming from German. the other from a
| Danish source.
The German word welt through its ne
cessary evolution from Old High German
and Middle High German to Modern High
German, and emerged meaning ito sob

a Gnnse Can count.

Seashoro gunners hold that tho wild
goole can count two. but not three. Ac
cordingly it is customary in preparing
to shoot wild geese from blind or some
detached ribbon of marsh for three men
to row over to the station together and
for two of them to return TO the main
land The geese, being unable to count
above two, believe when they see the
two men returning that no enemy has
been left upon the marsh and approach
tho spot without fear. 1t is asserted that
If two men go out and only one returns
the geese will carefully avoid the region

Thousand Birds a Year.

Thousand birds a Year.
Mr.. A. J. Hallock Of the Atlantic
Duck farm, Speonk, N. Y, raised about
IA tons of ducks the past year. To think
of that am unit of carcasses going into
market ont would almost yenturo tho
idea that there was a regular glut, bat
when it is known that about so. 600
ducklings are annually marketed from
Long Island and all shipped to New
York, in addition to tons upon tons re-
ceived from other locations, one is al
most dazed ut the enormous amount OF
duck eating people in the east
AT tho last killing day u regular gall
lows was erected From tho top beam
dangled q dozen cords On tho ground
lay heavy log, to which were secured
an equal number of cords with hooks
at each end.
When ready. Bruno. trained Scotch
dog, was ordered to 90 out into the wa
ter and chase up the desired flock of
birds This done, q temporary fence
was placed about the flock, and Mr..
Hallook began the work of overhauling
them In this he proved himself to bo
an expert. Having annually sorted over
thousands of birds he is at once able to
tell which are ready to be slaughtered
and which should go another week.
After the overhauling the executioner
grabbed up four birds i'll each hand,
which he easily carried by the necks to
box. Then picking up two and placing
their necks under his left arm he took
up the third which no fastened to the
cord hanging from the BEAM Having a
slip loop, the feet were easily adjusted
Then the hool; OH the cord from the log
was fastened in the nostrils. So on each
one was adjusted until the entire num-
Der of cords were used.
Taking pointed and sharp knife in
his right hand, the eXecutioner opened
the ducks mouth with his left hand
and by quick move severed tine two
jugular veins; then he passed to the
second, and so on until the entire num-
Der Of birds were bled
When over their Topping, they were
taken down, and after the thick blood
was shaken from their mouths they were
placed on a platform SO that the bills
could lay i'll trough of water. Then
with brush all the blood was washed
out of the mouth, and they were ready
for the piclSers.
In the picker room were busily en-
gagged a lot Of women and girls who
took charge Of the birds from the timo

work of removing what pinfeathers still

into cooling watts, winding up when
