ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.
An Iowa Newspaper Man Tells Then
How to Bs Happy.

Husbands ought slways to wear Q

the Clarinda Qa.) Journal. Should the
care of providing the raw material to
make home weigh you down, never
mind. always 60 home with a smile.
Husbands have often lost the affection Of
their wives by looking careworn.
Be careful about your personal ap-
pearance; much depends upon that. Be
sure that your hair is smoothly arranged
and your collar spotless before present.

Is by attention TO such little things that
you may be able to retain the affection
of your wife.

IL you have the charlottesville.
II you are embarrassed for want Of
funds to meet the necessary expenses Of

Keep up with the times. Your wife.
having the care of the education Of the
children, naturally reads more than you.
Don't let her. After you have worked
twelve or fourteen hours day, devote
the remainder to keeping your mind in
good trim, so that your wife may not
find more congenial spirit elsewhere.
Should your wife smoke or use to-
bacco in any form, it isn't best to oobject.
Smiles will do more than frowns. En-
courage her to smoke or chew, as the
case may be, at home, or she may be
driven to stay away from home. Per-
sonal liberty is always sacred.
BY always paying strict attention to
the above rules, and smiling continual
ly, you will probably be able to retain
the affections of your wife for a con-
siderable time.

SENATOR BRUcE's TACT.
How He Solved the Race Problem on .
Mississippi River Boat.

How He Solved the Race Problem on .
Mississippi River Boat.
Commodore Van Santvoord, one Of the
wealthiest OF New York business men,
the owner of the Hudson river line OF
boats, narrated most interesting and
wholly new anecdote about Mr.. Bruce
The Commodore said that after Mr..
Bruce had been elected Senator from
Mississippi he engaged passage on one
Of the Mississippi steamboats, up the
river on his way to Washington. The
captain of the steamboat heard that the
black Senator-elect was to take passage
by the boat. and he said that he would
teach this colored npstart his place IL
he tried to put on any airs on the steam
boat. The captain himself told Commo-
dore Van Santxoord what followed.
He said that Senator Bruce came
aboard the boat and at the first con-
venient opportunity sought the captain.
He said to him: Captain, am going
a part of my journey on your steam
boat, and l want to say to you that !
want my trip to be made as pleasant
and agreeable to you as it possibly can
be; therefore, If yos will assign me to
that place on the boat where my people
are usually located, and give me place
at the table where the colored people
get their meals, shall be very much
obliged to YOU" when he said that, "
said the captain, "and as modestly and
politely as ever man spoke to me
in my life, looked at him for mo-
ment, and then seized him by the arm
and said: Come with me; there is
nothing on my boat too good for you
sir, and insist that you shall sit With
me at my own table at meal hours"
''The race problem" said Commodore
Van Santvoord, $50 far as Senator Bruce
Is concerned, is already solved" :,

Cornwail's Uranium Mine.


The discovery Of lode Of uranium at
the Union mines, Cornwall, was an
nounced several months ago. This is
believed to be the only known lode OF
that metal in the world, as it had pre-
viously baen found only in isolated
pockets and patches. Since the discov-
cry was made steps have been taken to
develop the lode and to work the mine.
Experimental works for procuring the
metal from the ore were fitted up in
London, and there the ore has been sub
mitted to treatment in order to deter
mine the best and most economical
method Of extraction. The market
price of the metal is about ten thousand
dollars per ton. 1t is proposed to sub
stitute it for gold in electro-piating, and
it is also expected to prove very useful
in electric lighting.
A Nation OF knights.
Tie old remark that the Americans
are n nation OF colonels has lost much
of its force, but few realize that we are
rapidly becoming nation Of kAights.
Even now you couldn't throw a stone
without hitting knight of Labor, or a
Knight Of Pythias, or a Knight of
Honor, or Knight of the Golden
Eagle. or Knight Templar, or
Knight of the Silver Horn, or a
dozen or SO other varieties of knights.
Now will some plain man arise and tell
US why this craze for knighthood is so
prevalent in country where every man
is . sovereign, and therefore vastly
higher in rank than knight.
