WOMEN WHO MADDEN MEN.
Do 1t InnOcently, Because They Do Not
Know How to Re Wives.

Do 1t InnOcently, Because They Do Not
Know How to Re Wives.
Women may be charming, wholly
devoted to their homes and their hus-
bands, and yet be so tactless, thought
less and aggravating as to drive hus-
bands to the extreme of misery. Any
Observant bachelor could recall numbers
of instances Of women who from want
Of tact and intelligence are almost driv-
ing their husbands mad by getting ON
their nerves. They forget that busy men
require absolute brain rest, change Of
scene, change of subject. They forget
that, however worrying the little affairs
of a household may be, the anxieties Of
a great business upon which the whole
family's present and future depend are
far greater. A friend Of mine who is
now nearly a millionaire told me in
confidence that while ne was sitting one
night over his smoking room fire won
dering whether he could next day posi-
bly, survive terrible crisis which was
hanging over his head and might lead
to disastrous bankruptcy, with debts TO
the extent of G300, 600 or so, his wife
came whining into the room to say the
butcher must be paid the next day. And
the amount Of the butchers bill was
under 500
1t is on such occasions that man
wants a helpful Wifc-One who will tell
him about or read aloud the last good
novel, who will say: Come, let us go
to the theater tonight. You need change
Of scene" And, above all, one who
knows just when her husband requires
nothing more than to be left alone. 1t
is women who get ON their husbands
nerves that drive them to take bachelor
holidays when they ought to be getting
more enjoyment from the wife's COM
| panionship.
OF course there are men who are al
ways out of sorts-dyspeptic bears with
sore heads, who require strong minds to
manage them-but there are very many
others who only want judicious. sym
pathetic treatment to be the best hus-
bands in the world. Avoid being silly,
avoid saying silly things or trying to
make conversation or commenting on
some remark your husband has made.
Read and think in order to cultivate in
telligence and resourcefulness, with the
object in view of being his counselor
and his friend, and, above all, "chum. Z"

The Great Mountain ClImber.

In a sketch of Sir William Martin
Conway, the great mountain climber
and explorer of the Himalayas, The
English Illustrated Magazine says that
he has the climbers walk''-.that is.
a gentle roll Of the body, with no un-
equal steps, but swinging his legs with
rhythmic precision. He is slim man,
bnt tough, full Of energy, and with iron
muscles When climbing the Himalayas.
he spent "a days ON snow and glacier.
During that time he traversed from end
to end the three longest known glaciers
i'll the world outside the polar regions
and landed on the summit of Pioneer
peak, $4,000 feet high, the greatest
height yet reached by man. He has al
ready made plans for another expedition
when he gets back from Spitzbergen and
hopes to get through two or even three
more before contesting a seat in parlia-
ment, as he intends to do at the next
general election.

A JEWEss BROKE TIE ICE.
Tho First Woman In Germany to Ride on
Top of an Omnibus.

The First Woman In Germany to Ride on
Top of an Omnibus.
On my way from the Leipziger strasse
to the exhibition, while sitting on the
top of tram car, young lady of some
II summers, with fine, intelligent and
Enthusiastically Jewish face, carae on and
sat herself beside me. The maiden
blushed as maiden never blushed before,
and my curiosity was aroused to its
highest point when I noticed every per-
son on the car stare at her with smile of
appreciation. Nay, more-on the route
people stopped and looked at her. Men
raised their hats and women waved
their handkerchiefs. Indeed children
looked through the windows and kept
their eyes fixed on the top of my tram
till they could see it no more. What
could all this mean? That the young
JCwess at my side was ''the woman Of
the hour" person whom Berlin was
idolizing, some public benefactress to
whom the denlzens of the capital were
giving evidence of their thorough appre-
citation and heartfelt gratitude was
patent to all who had eyes to see.
What, then, was her heroic deed?
Why did every person on the car say
most cordially, 'Ich gratultere linen,
fraulein," when the lady was about to
descend? The solution of the mystery
was as singular as it was amusing. 1t
had by the vigorous laws and customs
of the Teutons been denied until the
morning in question to the fair sex to
ascend the steps of an omnibus or tram
car throughout the length and breadth
of Germany.
Some Of the ''manly women" in Ber-
lin, gasping for franchise as we'll as for
fresh air in the summer months, de-
clared that they had tolerated long
enough the cruelty Of being pent up in
a tram car full of their own sex while
the men were above enjoying the de-
hghtful summer breeze. They sent dep
utatiOns and petitioned the powers
that be to break once and forever a
law unworthy of enlightened Germany.
Some of the newspapers volleyed and
thundered against such innovations.
"Oh, for the degeneracy of the father
landp' they sighed. But at length the
ladies had their way-as ladies always
willard the great privilege was re-
served for me to sit beside the young
Jewess whose name ought to be handed
down to pOsterity as probably the first
female in Germany who was bold
enough to ascend the steps of tram
ar.-LOndon Telegraph.

SUGAR NOT INJURIOUS.
The Idea That 1t Destroys the Teeth Is
RidiCuIed.

AA4ulCuicus
A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view dcvOtCs mCst of an article Oh
champagne to the popular idea that
gout is produced by the sugar contained
in that drink. The paper is mot a
medical paper, but the writer brings
forward considerable evidence to show
that champagne has nothing to do with
the production Of gOut, and i'll an aside
speaks Of that other popular notion that
sugar destroys the teeth. He says:
'In confederation of the fallacy of
the sugar and gout idea it may be men,
toned that the still more reprehensible
dogma, from a sanitary point of view,
that sugar ruins the teeth is equally
false. Indeed, how the idea ever came
into existence is a mystery, seeing that
the finest whitest and strongest teeth are
found Ill the mouths of negroes brought
up on sugar plantations, who from the
earliest years upward consumed more
sugar than any other class of people
whatever. Those at all skeptical of the
value of this fact have only to look
around among their personal friends
and see whether the sugar eaters or the
sugar summers have the finest teeth.
and they will find, other things being
equal, that the sugar eaters. as a rule,
have the best teeth The only possible
way for accounting for this libel against
sugar seems to be by supposing that it
originated i'll the brain of one of our
economically disposed great -grandmoth-
ers at the time when sugar was , shil-
lings pound in order to prevent her
children gratifying their cravings for
sweets at the expense of the contents Of

To Clean soiled Boots.

Ink stains may be removed from a
book by applying with a camel's hair
pencil small quantity of oxalic acid
diluted with water and then using
blotting paper. Two applications will
remove all traces Of the ink. To remove
grease spots, lay powered pipe clay each
side Of the spot and press with an iron
as hot as the paper will bear without
soorching. Sometimes grease spots may
be removed from paper or cloth by lay
ing a piece Of blotting paper ON them
and then pressing the blotting paper
with a hot iron. The heat melts the
grease and the blotting paper absorbs it.

Before Black Stockings were y,,orn

There was no thought of black stockings
then. The small legs of all the small
girls looked like sticks of variegated
candy. The child who had the gayest
combination of stripes was the happiest,

The question of fOrgeFies which dis.
figure our national collections cannot
pass unnoticed. I do not assert that the
South KensingtOn museum contains
more Of them than are to be found in
similar institutions on the continent,
though it probably does, for with such
exquisite and beautiful skill are these
objects nowadays forged or ''faked" that
the most practical expert may now and
again be victimized by them almost
without disgrace. Soperfect has the art
OF the forger become and so fine an art
ist the forger, so elaborate his plots and
conspiracies to catch even the wariest Of
directors and collectors, that often the
only safety lies nowadays in written
guarantee and proved proveniance from
one reputable collection to another. I
need not refer to any even of the most
notorious tOrgeries in South Kensington
museum, for that is obviously the dutv
OF a properly appointed committee of
experts, which should at the earliest
possible moment be constituted. I do
not agree with Sir ]. O. Robinson's first

believe that a far better purpose
would be served by branding them in
delibly as forgeries aud bringing them
together in single room, to form an
edifying forgery exhibition by them
selves, with all particulars as to the
dealers from whom they were obtained
and the price which was paid for them.
The educational value of such a colleo-
tion would be considerable and as an
eoJect lesson instructive in distinct
ways to collector, student, forger ana
director, and only little moral courage
would be required to act on the sueges-
ton. Moreover, the fine artists who
made them might be thus discovered
and encouraged in more honorable
work. AT the same time the revision Of
the museum labels should be proceeded
With and the numegous errors which at
present mislead the public remedied. -
