An Educated Shrimp.

A Tioga man has probably the most GU
rious pet on record. 1t is nothing more OF
less than trained shrimp. One would
scarcely believe a shrimp to be possessed
of any intelligence, yet this little orusta-
cean, whom his master has christened
Neptune, really seems to be most observ.
ing little chap. Neptune is the pride OF
quite large aquarium, in which he rules
supreme. He is very fond Of music, and
when his master places a mouth organ
against the glass side of the aquarium and
plays Neptune he shows every manifesto
ton of joy. He hops around on his tall and
twirls his body as though dancing to the
time Of tho music, and when the strains
cease he places his little nose against the
glass, as though begging for more. His ia
vorite airs are IA Life on the Ocean
Wave and Rocked In the Cradle of the
Deep" Neptune's master has little stick
which he places in the aquarium, and the
shrimp will play about this for hours,
standing on his head, turning Handspring
and doing other equally remarkable things.

HOW TO HAVE GOOD WIVES.

have read with much amusement some
OF the letters written by men giving their
views OF wives, says writer in the Phila-
delphia Times. Ono would suppose that
all depended on woman and that man
should make no effort to brighten homo
life.
am Of the opinion that tho true reason
of there not being more good wives 10 be-
cause there arc not more good husbands.
Let young man who feels he IA in a po-
sition TO marry endeavor to find some good
tg1rl who has been properly reared-men-
tally, morally and in household duties. II,
after an acquaintance, there should be a
mutual love-for without love, there can
be no harpiness-they can safely marry.
After marriage the man must remember
that he has married human being Nike
himself and must expect to discover many
imperfectious, but II he would be happy
he must overlook them, and he will And
she will overlook any he may have.
A man should show his vito the same
love and kindness he did when be was her
lover. Woman Graves love. 1t is to her
whist dew is to the flowers. Such . girl as
I have described, reared by q good mother,
will understand and be willing to take
charge Of the house. II her husband has
not sufficient means to employ servant,
she will gladly do her own work. OF
course I do not mean the heavier work
washing, houseoleaning, eto. there would
be no economy in that, as DOCTORS fees
would be sure 10 COST more in q shorttime.
1t will not be necessary for q man to
complain of wife such as this regarding
her dress. She will always be a. neat and
as we'll dressed as her position will admit.
This wife will not be a wallfower ct
any gathering she may attend. Her edu-
cation will allow her to converse ON many
subjects.
The utmost candor should exist between
husband and wife. She should know the
amount of his income, so that she may bet
ter know how to regulate her household
expenses
AS to the rearing Of children, II they see
their parents love and respect each other
they will love and respect them also and
must, Of a fact grow up good.
In conclusion, repeat that I believe
three-fourths Of our girls would make
good wives If they married good hus-
bands.

Considerable fun may be had in foggy

Commencement Exercises In the Public
Schools-List Of Graduates
RIVERA, June 22-The closing exer-
cises Of the Rivera school on Saturday
concluded series of very successful
commandments, preparations for which
have kept the little town and Its two con-
tiguous districts, Gallatin and Ranchito,
in constant commotion for a week or
more.
The Gallatino school, Prof. Geo. u.
Moyse, principal, Miss Ollie -Hutchi-
son, assistant, first appeared Tuesday
night in the town hall, which was crowd
ed to the very doors by the many friends
of the school. The program was excel
lent throughout. The graduates were
MILFORD Phillips. Willie Siler, and AL
bert Morrison. The presentation ad-
dress was by Rev. A. Hardie, professor
of history at the University of Southern
California.
The Ranchita exercises were held
Wednesday evening at the school house
and reflected great credit on the pupils
and Prof. Bird and Miss Emma Gooch,
their popular teachers. Miss Margaret
Maxson and Master Carl Judson carried
away the honors.
Last night the hall was again filled to
suffocation and Rivera boys and girls
did themselves proud. The program was
of unusual excellence. The first chorus,
The Carol Of the Seasons, is a compost
ton, both words and music, of the prin-
cipal, Prof. w. D. Townsend, and be-
sides being most excellent piece of
music it was rendered by the school
with fine effect.
The essays by the graduates, Mamie
Burke and Edwin Wood, were we'll writ
ten and well delivered.
Rev. DR.. Pendleton made the presenta-
ton address, closing with touching
allusion to the sudden death last Thurs
day of Miss Ada Gould, one of the most
popular of the school girls and member
| of the graduating class.
