They are men who have been time and

Advice TO Young Wives.

Some excellent advice to g. young wife
consists OF an earnest exhoration to
preserve discreet silence with respect to
family matters says Princess. Always
remen Der that what you learn about
your husbands family is to be kept to
yourself; that when you married him and
took his name you became one Of the
family, and the little trouble, the little
skeleton is not to be discussed with the
members of the family in which you we're
born. To your sister it may mean moth
ing that some trouble has come to your
husbands brother. You may tell 1T to
her in secrecy, and it may seem of so lit
tie importance that she may repeat it to
her sister-in-law and gradually what was
meant to be kept quiet is all around the
neighborhood.. The art of keeping to your
self what you hear on both sides OF the
house is one that you must cultivate, for
it means the keeping OF peace. Surely
you would not wish to hurt your hus-
band, and yet you will do it If you cannot
keep quiet. When you enter his moth
er's house anything that is told you in
confidence must be forgotten when you
leave, unless indeed, it is discussed with
your husband, and the same rule will APP
ply to your family. Don't imagine that
every llLLic CFEly ilLtlS A1Seae,L CSu
BILE word is meant for you, and do not
retail to your husband anything unpleas-
ant that may happen when you were
visiting at his mothers house. Think
that she is your monther, too, and give
her the privilege Of speaking to you as
your mother does. / know it isn't always
easy to have fault found with one who is
trying to do ones best, but think over
what is said, il there is anything helpful
III it, It is in the woman's power to make
or mar the sanctity of marriage in which
she accepts it's responsibilities. 1t is due
to the earnest endeavors of good wife
that many husband has been reclaimed
or prevented from leading the downward
path, as unfortunately, it is that care
lessness or Indifference or neglect from
the weaker half in physical stength
has weakened her power and made her
influence useless.

The next conflict that has been given

the hattie in which the Prussian armies

hattie that gave the Hohenzollerns pre-

SUPERSTITION IN HOUSE RENTING.
Janitors and Slow Payments Are Not the
Only Woes of Agents.

Only Woes of Agents.
Real estate agents tell strange stories
about the houses which are placed in
their charge by the owners, who shift
on them all care and responsibility, and,
for certain percentage OF the receipts,
expect the houses to yield the regulation
revenue. But sometimes houses will
yield nothing but worry and expense.
With everything in the way of loca-
ton and architecture in their favor,
houses sometimes remain vacant for long
periods, and in many instances the own
ers blame the agents, but find later that
superstition and not laxity on the part
of the agent bars the way to rents and
revenue.
Houses in which several people have
died within short period are less val
uable for a time on that account. "Of
course" an agent said, "when deaths
have occurred because of bad sewerage,
and where the sanitary conditions are
otherwise bad, no one would blame peo-
ple for remaining away. But houses
where couple of people had died OF old
age would be looked upon by certain
class as 'unlucky,' and there are thou
sands who could not be bought to 60 in
to such a house.

comes because of Friday and the number
10. When you find man who will sign
lease on a Friday, you may make up
your mind that he will be good tenant,
and that he does not possess any OF the
qualities of the dreaded kicking tenant.
AS to the number 13, why, it is as hard
to rent house with that number as one
in which there is cross eyed hallboy or
from which contagious disease flag is
flying"
To prove this, the agent told of
beautiful apartment house near Central
park, which had been completed recent
" and for which, despite its advantages
as to location and superiority OF con-
struction, no tenants could be found, al
though it's less attractive neighbors were
occupied. 1t took the landlord only
short time to learn the cause, and when
the number was changed from No. IL to

public appreciated his building.

The Russian Charge al Eylau,

It was a raw and bitter day. During the

ing his plan, sent messenger for Ney to

Augereau and Saint Hilaire to move. In

each other, and the latter was repulsed by
Russian cavalry, while Augereaus corps
was almost destroyed by the enemy's CEN

reached the foot of the very hill on which
Napoleon stood, and panic seized all
about him. not excepting Berthier and

guard to save their emperor. The emperor,
however, remained calm, exclaiming,
