Supporting a Wife.

When hear of a man and a farm
er supporting" his wife, it gives me
that "tired feeling that no patent
medicine can cure. Did you-any
of you, fellow-cltizcns-GHst think
OF 1T for II minute)-support her ?
Indeed, if she was the house girl you
would have to pay her at least two
dollars per week, and she would do
nothing but the house work. But
the average farmers wife raises poul-
try enough to clothe herself and
children, and the eggs she sells pro-
vide the groceries and household
expenses. lie puts money into fine
stock, farm machinery, and more
land, rarely giving any Of it to her,
and he growls like Il bear if she hap
pens to need anything, or Gust a
little money" But he is supporting
nor; she is his wife, and he has Il
right to be hateful. Another thing :
farmers daughter, when she is
married, usually has Il COW and a
horse. Now, the usual rule is put
ting out stock at half the increase,
but does a farmers wife get it? Not
much. He hardly remembers to get
her a birthday present, and if he
doeS,lt is something needful-as he
says, something useful"-a pair of
shoes, or, maybe, Il calico dress. How
| hate and detcSt such presents! 1t
seems to me like giving a preacher a
donation, and taking it out of his
salary. IL Il woman does the house
work, cares for the sickly pigs and
lambs and a calf, raises a mans
children and teaches them all the
virtue she knows, doesn't she earn
every blessed cent she gets? Let
her die and him hire Il housekecper,
and then he will see what Il helper
he has lost that she saved him
money, and earned as much as he
did, and he was not supporting her
at all; that it was Il partnership af-
fair, and that she had earned fully
half, but didn't get it because he
was enjoying the manly privilege of
supporting her. '-,JOe.

4ooth Anniversary Of Cabot's Dis,
Covery OF America.

The present year is the Tooth an
niversary of the discovery of the
North American continent, and the
event Will De celebrated in America
and England. The citizens of Bris-
tol, England, have resolved to com
memoratc the discovery by the cree
ton of Il memorial to John Cabot
and his colleagues. Tins monument
Will take the form of an ornate
tower, and will be placed on the
summit of Brandon hill. The site
is in the heart of the city, and the
conlcal hill, twenty-five acres in cx.
tent, ovcrlooks the upper reaches of
the port from which, in May. 1l91,
the MatihcW sailed on her adven-
t%urous, successful and cpoch-mak-
ing voyage. The foundation stone
was laid on June II, the ami
versary of the day ON which, il is
supposed, the coast of North Amer
lea was first seen by Il European
navigator. John Cabot settled in
England probably in ll9l. His
son, Sebastian, probably accompa-
MED him on his first cxpedi-
ton in 1872, and conducted
llonc the expedition of 1l9S. The
Cabots gave England her title
to North America, and made
it the heritage of English
speaking people. 1t is appropriate
that London now should be re-
minded of the great sailors services
by the admirable statue of Cabot
and his sol Sebastian exhibited at
the New Gallery. The group comes
from the chisel of Mr.. John Cassidy,
an lrishman, who was born thirty
Yeas ago near the little village of
Slane, in County Meath, only Il few
miles from the famous Tara's hall.

TILLMAN SCORES A VICTORY.
The Senate Passes His Bill 90
Strengthen the Dispcnsary System
Without u Dissenting Vote.

The Washington correspondent of
tho Atlanta Constitution says that
Senator Tillmans scored u rather unique
victory, when he not only secured u
unanimous consent for the consideration
OF his bill, designed to strengthen the
~dispensary system, but got that bill
through the Senate by a unanimous
vote.
The bill amends what is known as
the Wilson law, by eliminating from
that law the expression enacted in
furtherancc Of its police powers" 1t
Is upon this clause that the recent de-
cisions OF the courts are hung, it being
~contcnded that the dispensary act is
police powers OF the State.
The act as it will stand If the .iouse
endorses the action Of the Senate is as
follows:
"Ihat all fermented, distilled or
other intoxicating liquors or liquids
transported into any State or terri
tory, or remaining therein for use, con
sumption, sale or storage therein shall
upon arrival within the limits of said
State or territory be subject to the
same extent and in the same n
as though such liquors or liquids had
been produced in such State or terri
tory, and shall not be exempt there.
from, by reason OF being Introduced
therein in original packages for pri-
vate use or otherwise, and such States
shall have absolute control of such
liquor OF liquids within their borders
by WhOmsoever produced and for what
ever use imported provided, that
nothing herein contained shall be con.
strued as affecting the internal re-
venue laws OF the United States or
liquors in transit through u State or
territory"
Whether he will be able to get con-
sideratiOn for the measure in the
House Senator Tillman Ices not know.
He denies the story published in q
Charleston paper which. put speaker
Reed in the attitude Of laughing at the
proposition.
81 had no such talk with the Speak
er as that alleged to have been quoted
said the Senator. "After the bill
passed the Senate today. | did see
him and say that would like to have
him look into it and If possible get IL
before the House at this session. He
said he would look into it. Whether
we will get action at this session or
not, | cannot say"

Mrs. Babcock's Outing.

Mrs. Babcock had been induced to
lay aside her many tasks, and take a
days rest. She had spent the whole
DAY with a cousin in a neighboring
town-a most unusual event-and
after her return the assembled fam
lily listened with interest to her ac-
count of the days adventures:

bic pretty ride. Folks say it is, but
