HOW to Treat a Wife.
From Pacific Health Journal.

From Pacific Health Journal)
First, get a wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
pl.xities in your business, but do not,
therefore, carry to your home a cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less mag
nitude, may be hard for her to bear.
A kind word, tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. To this We would add
always keep bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the
best and is sure to be needed sooner or
later. Your wife will then know you
really care for her and wish to protect
her health. For sale by L. Stabler &
Co., druggists.

A WORM TURNS.

Alack and alas for the husband OF the
new woman. In very truth lie has Con-
siderable trouble in finding out where
he is at. In the ma sority Of Instances,
up to the present writing, he has beeD
a long-sufferiDg beast Of burden, and has
borne his sorrow in silence, forcing grin
TO the surface of his counteDaDce when
making his appearance in public. Now,
however, a case has arisen that challenges
the attention of all his fellow bondsmen.
No less a person than Il New York coun-
sellor and attorne y-at-law is doing the
conturtiop act. His fin-de-siecle wife has
sued him for divorce. The reason why ap-
pears in his reply to her bill. In it he
declares that his spouse drove him to the
garret, from which he was not permitted
to emerge except by expressed rermission;
when company was present lie was ban
ished from the table and had to play
nurse in the kitchen for his own and the
visitors babies, and, fiDally-h orrible
dictu!-had to give the domestic boss every
dollar Of his money, and all other Degoti-
able property.
He stood it until he could stand it no
longer, and at last broke the chains of
his domestic servitude and sought 50 fety
and relief in flight. Now she wants
divorce and alirnony, and this len-pccked,
browbeaten, crushed and utterly doDe-up
specimen of married humanity wonders
what the court is going to do to him now
that the wife Of his bosom is no longer
in his immediate vicinity. His sufferings
will excite sentiments of ccmuiiseration
il the breast of every husband situated
us he was. and they will await with aDx-
GUS expectation the decision of the court
which will make it clear whether hubby
has any rights that his wife is bound to
respect; and il not, why not.

tertainment Follow w ed by a Smoker.

tific entertainment given by the members

tributed to the evenings enjoyment with

gram there was smoker, during which
