TREATMENT OF HUSBANDS.
MRS Henry Ward Beecher.l

Did you never tell your husband or
some great excellence of virtue in your
friends husband purpOsely to remind
him of some shortcomings or fault
which you had seen in his own habits
of character? Did you ever treat your
husband when in company with mat
tention or Impotence, while you polite
of other and less noble men? Do you
ever impatiently blame him in the
presence of a third party? What wo-
man is more sensitive to blame in the
presence of others than a husband,
when the cenSure comes from his wife
lips? Are you ever cross and silent in
your own home with no one to enter
tain but your husband, yet full of life,
wit and anna bility in company?
While it is just that husbands should
listen and receive this counsel, and by
the lesson it teaches endeavor to aug
ment the Joys of home, should not wives
also take it's truth into their own
hearts? Are we not equally likely to
trespass in the same way? Aye, more
so. For home is our kingdom, where
we may reign supreme if we have wis
dom to hold the scepter with a judicious
hand I have seen young people begin
life with every promise of the most
perfect happiness, yet make entire
shipwreck of it all by their own I'M
guarded words, impa tient looks and I'M
restricted tempers. A talent for spicy
and brilliant repartee may enliven a
party and give the highest zest and
piouancy to social intercourse, endoW-
ing it's possessor with certain posi-
ton, enviable or otherwise, but in the
home circle it is a dangerous gift, and,
unfortunately, more frequently bestoW-
ed upon the wife than upon the hus-
hand

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

AS an expression of loyalty, patriot
ism, honesty of purpose and sympathy
with the wants and needs of the people,
individually and collectively, President
McKinley's inaugural address perhaps
never has been excelled. Tt was an
address worthy of the president of
great people and one of which not only
the people who by their votes aided
him in attaining his present exalted po-
sition, but the whole body of citizens,
may well feel proud. It breathed
spirit of fairness, and was indicative of
a policy the chief end of which shall be
general good regardless of precedents
or personal consequences.
Mr.. Mckinley truly said that his re-
sponsibilities are augmented by thepre-
vailing conditions, but having a clear
conception of those conditions and a
well defined notion of the proper rem
edies, if his theories are correct and if
he have the cooperation of his party
and of the people, his pathway need
not be a very thorny one. There is
nothing in the policy outlined to which
any good citizen can consistently OBJ
ject, though many may and do now
doubt his ability to accomplish what he
proposes in the manner indicated in his
first address as president. That he
has sufficient faith in himself, his party
and his theories as to needed legislation
to put them to the test at the earliest
period possible is of considerable mo-
ment, and his action in calling con-
gress together at once can only be COM
mended.
If legislation can relieve the country
of the ills from which it has been suf-
fering, then the sooner that legislation
MI r.
said by their votes what they want and
as the president indicates in his inau
gural address, there is no good reason
why they should be kept out of it until
the regular assembling of congress.
Those who have believed or hoped
that the new president would formu-
late a policy at variance with the St.
Louis platform or any part of it must
now feel that they are doomed to dis
appointment. His address indicates
an intention to respect every pledge
made to the people in that platform
even the one relating to an interna-
tionaI monetary conference. He APP
parently has no sympathy with the
views of those Republicans who have
been asserting that the vote in Novem-
Der absolved the party from any duty
to silver.
Whether or not the policy of the new
administration shall succeed in ac-
complishing for the country what is
outlined in the presidents address, the
people will not be called upon to wait
long for the results of the attempt to
carry out his policy. 1t is significant
that his reference to trusts caused an
immediate decline in the securities of
those combinations for the control of
trade, and at the same time an advance
in wheat

PATENT MEDICINE mAK1Na.
[From the New York SUM-

From the New York Sun.
Exclusive of those connected with the
advertising department, a numerous
branch, and the stockholders in such of
the concerns as are incorporated 10, 600
men are engaged in the patent medl-
cine manufactures of the United States
receiving collectively more than S4,-
900, 900 a year in salaries and wages.
There are $50 such manufac torieG,r rang
ing in Importance from those which
flood the American and the foreign
market with proprietary medicines,
as they are technically called, down to
the small laboratories or botanist shops
in which some particular herb or root
is, in a grudging and primitive manner,
supplied to such persons Is may have
heard of its efficacy. The Partially of
Americans for patent medicines is well
known, and doctors-who don't usually
agree-agree to declaring that the true
reason of the extensive use of such
medicines in the United States is to
be found in the fact that dyspepsia is
a general aiIment and that persons
suffering from dyspepsia are prone to
believe that they have some other all
ment.
Many of the patent medicines sold,
are compounds in pleasant form and in
palatab BILE shape of drugs and medicines
in constant use by physicians, and
found efficacious in what is called gen
eral practice. The purchaser gets them
without the expense of doctors pre-
scription, that's all. Though it didn't
use to, New York city now stands at
States in the manufacture of patent
medicines, with IS factories, giving en-
p1oyment to 1000 persons at aggregate
wages in excess of $500, 900 a year. Phil
adelphia comes second, St. Louis third,
New Haven fourth, and Lowell fifth.
In proportion to its population Lowell
is the American city which is most
deeply interested in patent medicine
manufacture. After Lowell comes
Chicago, a poor sixth. 1t is a somewhat
peculiar circumstance that though
enormous quantities of patent medi-
cines are sold in the south, and the
ingredients for their manufacture come
very largely from that section, few
patent medicines are made in the south
though New Orleans and Atlanta do a
little in this line. The city Of BaIti-
more seemed likely a few years ago to
attain prominence in the manufacture
of patent medicine, but recenteI il has
fallen back on the list, while the city
of Boston has been pushing steadily
ahead. Providence is another New
England city which is largely repre-
sented in the manufacture of patent
medicines. In New York state two
other cities represented are Buffalo and
Rochester. In the west, outside of Chi
cago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, the city
which does the largest business in pat
ent medicines is Grand Rapids, Mich,
and Peoria does little in this line, but
not very much. The expectation of
American patent medicine is increasing
but the manufactures continue never
theless to appeal, with the greatest
confidence to the home market.

MENTAL EFFECTS.


There are a number of eommendable
things taught by so-cal1ed mind heal
being, the real man, which moves the
arms, legs, eyes, etc, as machines
which do its WILL
Body IS made up entirely of what
comes from the ground and air. A pc
culiar compound of earth and water,
delicately and most deftly arranged to
be sure, but simple earth and water,
nevertheless, without any force or mo-
ton in it, except as it is acted upon
by the living mind.
There seem to be two minds to each
body, or two selves, one which runs the
SO -called automatic members, stomach,
heart, bowels, etc, etc, and the other
which conducts the outer mem bers,
arms, etc.
1t is curious psychological fact that
when one is slightly ailing, a new line
of thought will quickly affect the body
favorably and particularly in that men
tai trend run somewhat as follows: Il

most curious and healing effect Is

trained mind to command just what il

result of such mental exercise is mark

We write the above knowing that it

searcher after some of the new laws
which are lately coming to be known

TOO MUCH CIVILIZATION.
[Rev. Myron Reed.1


OF course we gain something by CIV
ilization-but we lose something. Fur
mace heat, electric light and office chairs
are not an unmitigated blessing. Cat
tIe that have been waited upon by man
lose the power to wait upon themselves.
They hang round the stack waiting to
be fed. They lose the native gift of
rustling. Dependent on man for a
season, all creatures seem to lose some
thing of their native instinct.
I find that in his line of business the
Indian is very wise. He has the hom-
ing instinct of cat. He has cultiva-
ted the habit of relying upon himself
to find his way. He is his own wealth
er prophet. He is a sign reader. The
civilized man depends on things out
side himself. Depends on a compass
that he may lose, and on signal ser
vice report that may not arrive.
Wild things seem to have a sure
sense of the things that are poison.
Civilized beings have to look at the
label. If the skull and cross-bones are
absent the thing must be good. We
depend on precedent. We walk in old
roads. Not because they are best, but
because they are old. We seem to be
afraid to take to the open and strike
across country.

GREAT WYOMING INDUSTRY.

[From the Rocky Mountain NewsJ
The sheep industry of Wyoming is
assuming colossal proportions. The var
ious attitudes contained in the state
present splendid opportunities for stock
raising. The only drawback to wool
growing in the more elevated portions
of the state is the fierce snow storms
which occur almost periodically during
the winter months. Notwithstanding
the large losses among the herds caused
by recent storms, the wool crop of
Wyoming will be the greatest on rec
ord The town of Wolton alone expects
to shear over 100000 pounds of wool
If capitalists could but realize the i'm
mense profit to be derived from sheep
raising, every one of the now scarce
trodden hills of the state would be
made to support a flock

TESS OF D'URBERVILLES.
Minnie Madden Fiske Makes a Hit
in New York.

New York, March 5.-Miss Olga Meth
ersole missed golden opportunity when
Tess of the d'Urbervilles'' slipped from
her grasp. The dramatization of Thos-
Hardy's novel by Lorimer Stoddard is
a gem, and Minnie Maddern-Fiske,w who
produced the play for the first time
last night in the Fifth Avenue theater,
must be credited with the greatest his
tronic achievement of the season
The Tess of Mrs. Fiske is slight,
girlish figure, with red-gold hair,
small, expressive face and great, ques-
tioning eyes not exactly as Hardy de-
scribes the plump, red-lipped, rosy
checked dairymaid. whose animalism
is ever at odds with the spirituality
that is so large a part of her nature
Mrs. Fiske shows little OF the half
yelled consciousness of the original
Tess but gives instead an earnest, in
tense, desperate Tess, whose love con-
sumes her, and whose hate, when it
comes, carries her straight to that aw-
full moment when, with the bloody
knife that has Just reached the heart
of Alec d'Urbervil1e shaking in her
hand she gasps:
"I-have-killed-h I-knew-I-
should-do-it! I-knew-it."
1t was in the confession scene that
Mrs. F'iske rose to sublimest heights.

Corbett was very angry over re-

that he was in poor health because OF
an alleged affection of the liver.
He stormed about the place using
some very strong language and he dis
patched Egan for a doctor. The ex-
animation lasted nearly three-quarters
of an hour and was a thorough one in
every particular. Dr. Gutnan stated
that there was absolutely no founda-
