MISUNDERSTANDING of BARRIERS
very naturally brings to mind the
interesting subject of mustaches; for
what boy is there who does not look
eagerly forward to the proud time
when he can raise mustache? The
wearing of mustaches is such uni
versal custom that we might suppose
it never had special meaning or be-
ginning; but the fact is, that it did
have a beginning several hundred
years ago, and served very important
purpose for while. You will remem-
ber that for several centuries the Moors
had possession of Spain, but were final
ly conquered or driven out by the
Christians. The Moors were believers
in Mohammedanism, and having made
many converts, 1t was not always an
easy matter TO tell Mohammedan
from Christian; and as there were
constant conflicts between the people
of the two religions, the Christians de-
cided to adopt some sign by which
they could be distinguished from the
unbelievers. So they let the hair grow
on the upper lip and on the chin, in
order to produce, as nearly as possible,
the form Of cross, and in that way
they were able tc recognize one anoth-
er at all times, and flock together in
times of danger.

THE WIFE.

Now it is certainly about time that
the tables were turned and that the
lord of the manor instead of his chate.
laine was piled with advice. Prob
ably the writer's of "Side Talks to
Girls" and "Little Hints to Mothers
are acquainted with the fact that the
average husband has much too good
an opinion of himself to change his
method of treating his fair partner,
Just because someone told him to.
Says an English paper:
"Do not get cross if worried look
rests upon your wife's face when you
return home from business. Remem.
ber that she has all the cares of home
and children on her throughout the
day, and if she is unable to shake
them off by the time you return
strive to assist her. A CHEEKY WORD
from you, and bright smile on your
face, will work wonders with her.
"Of course, you are a philosopher
business man, and perfect husband
all rolled into one, but your wife i:
only a woman and cannot be expected
to reason with your deep wisdom
Home troubles which are the smallest
molehills appear like mountains in
her eyes; therefore she looks to YOU
for guidance and help. Comfort ano
advise her, even in the smallest mat
ters; a mans greatness is frequently
shown in deeds of comparatively
trifling nature.
Wharfage does not necessitate the
cessation of those little attentions
which you lavished upon your love
in the days of courtship. 1t is only
fair to keep them up after marriage
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-11-25

Douglas Jerrold was fond Of epigram.
matio sayings, as the following will
show:
"That scoundrel, sirl' said Jerrold.
"Why, he'd sharpen knife upon his
fathers tombstone to kill his motherP
Of mistaken philanthropist ne said
he was $50 benevolent, 80 merciful a
man he would have held an umbrella
over a duck in shower Of rain. -
Again, "Ask q woman to a tea party
In the Garden Of Eden and she would
draw up her eyelids and scream, Il
can't 20 without new gown.
Commentators" said Jerrold, ARE
worthy folks who too often write on
books as men write with diamonds on
glass-obscuring light with scratches:
He said to an ardent young gentle
man who burned with desire to see
himself in print, "Be advised by me-
young man, don't take down the shut
ters before there is something IN the
window" "
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-11-25

and to remember, moreover, that pres
ents are just as gladly received as of
yore-in fact, perhaps more so.
"Do not expect your wife to take it
for granted that you love her fondly.
You told her this time after time in
days gone by-it is almost wonder
she did not tire of hearing it-so
remind her now and again that she is
the one most dear to you in the world.
If you fail to do this, it is just posi-
BILE that amid the worries of household
matters she may forget it, and that
would be a pity.
"Your wife is a woman-do not for

goddess-therefore, expect to find some
failings in her, and do not compare her
with an ideal poetic creation. If
every woman were as good and true
as your wife is, the world would be
much happier, pleasanter and better
than it s."-Philadelphia Times.

FLOATING METALs.-If small rod
of iron-a straight piece of wire, for
instance-be creased, it can be made
to float on water. The grease appar-
emily prevents the breaking of the
surface of the water and the iron lies
Graded in slight depression, or
trough. Recently DR.. A. NJ. Mayer,
experimenting with rods and rings of
iron, tin, copper, brass, platinum, alu.
minium, German silver, etc., found
that all metals, even the densest, will
float on water when their surfaces ale
chemically clean. A perfectly clean
piece of copper or platinum wire, for
instance, forms trough for itself on
the surface of water just as if it were
creased. The same is true of small
rod of glass. DR.. Mayer believes the
floating is due to film of air con-
densed on the surface of the glass or
metal, because if the rod be heated to
redness, and as soon as it cools be
placed on wster, it will sink; but if
it be exposed to the air for short
time it will float.-Youth's Companion.

EUGENE Nor In. WANT.-Ex-Em-
press Eugene of France, recently sold
some jewels, and notice ran through
the papers that she was in straitened
financial circumstances. She will not
starve, however. Napoleon III left
tidy little nest-egg. His savings
amounted to over $10O, 1000, 900, as the
Germans found when they got hold of
his papers at St. Cloud. His money
was invested in six per cent. Ameri.
can bonds, five per cent. and three
per cent. Russians, four per cent.
Prussian and English consols, five per
cent. Turks, and some industrial
shares, such as English, Belgian and
American railroad shares, and Suez
Canal shares. The jewels which the
ex-empress sold were go gorgeous that
only royalty can wear them without
appearing over-ostentatious, and the
$4,000 which the jeweler paid for
them have been added to the rest of
the interest.bearing money. 1t Is
noted by cynics that Napoleon III
did not invest cent in French se-
curities.

SOMETHING ABOUT RAIsINs.-Rai-
sins are made from grapes, either by
dipping them into an alkaline solution
and then hanging them up in the sun
to dry, or by partially cutting the
stalks of the branches when the
grapes are nearly ripe, and leaving
them on the vine until the watery
parts evaporate and the sun dries and
candies them. Raisins contain more
saccharine matter than fresh grapes,
and are more nutritive. They are
largely used in the confectionery and
bakery in the manufacture of pies,
cakes, puddings, bonbons, etc. They
are now put up by an enterprising
firm in box form, seeded, which is a
wonderful Improvement for the house

We Want the Institute.

AS the time for holding the county
institute draweth nigh we want to
again call the attention of the county
superintendent, school directors, teach
ers, and all others interested, to the fact
that Reynoldsville should have the
county institute next year. 1t has been
said there is no building in Reynolds
vile large enough to accommodate the
institute. The Assembly room in the
new school building seats over I've hum
dred and Centennial hall will seat about
five hundred True, there are over
three hundred teachers and one hun
dred and fifty-seyen directors in the
county, and the directors hold one meet
ing during institute week. but IL is not
necessary that they hold their meeting
in the same building where the insti-
tute is being held. We think Reyn-
oldsville can accommodate the institute
nicely and believe that It would be moth
ing more than just that our town be
given the institute occasionally.
Prof. Teitrick is live superintend-
ent, who believes In getting out of the
old ruts, and we think he will pass the
institute around. We don't see what
objections would be raised to making
the change, unless Brookville howls
because they think they have cinch
on the institute, which means consider
able money spent in town in one week
by the teachers and others who attend
the institute. The directors should
give an expression on this matter at
their meeting in Brookville week after
