HARMONY IN MARRIED LIFE.

The Right Kind of a Wife Makes the
Right Kind of n Husband.
eff you wish to be good companion
to your husband study to make each
Good morning that you say to him an
incentive to better life," is Ruth Ash
more's advice to young women, whom
she addresses upon THE Profession of
Marriage" Learn to make each Good
night a benediction CT love for the days
work, the days loving and the days
sympathy. Look for his good qualities.
He is like you in having faults; with
very little trouble you can find these
faults, and by talking about them and
reminding him of them you can make
your married life uncomfortable. You
can bring about heartburnings. you can
cause strife, and before you know it
hatred may take the place of love. Look
for his virtues, and. seeking always for
goodness, you will grow better every
day just as certainly as you would grow
bad if you looked only for that which
was wicked. Remember there is much
that will have to be forgiven in you, and
whenever you feel inclined to remind
Tom of weakness read the book in
which is set down your foibles and your
follies. A woman who. even after her
marriage, carefully studies her profess
sion, can maize her husband what she
wishes him to be- Everything that is
good is contagious, and the right kind
OF wife makes the right kind of hus-
band.
Respect the rights Of your husband;
he is man, not a child, and how can the
world honor him when you, who are his
closest companion, do not? Do not,
even in jest. deride or underrate him.
People are slow about deciding when
one is jesting or when one is in earnest.
And what you meant to be funny may
cause some stupid person to say: How
horrid Tom must be! Why. his wife
says dreadful things about him!'"-

4 COUNTRY OF SURPRISES.
Strange Industrial Rivals In seuth
Africa.

Strange Industrial Rivals In south
Africa.
While there is little doubt that with
proper development Of its agricultu-
raj and pastoral resources South Africa
could be made self-supporting, the sue
cessful development Of these indus
tries depends, nevertheless, upon the
creation Of local markets through the
stimulus given by mining OPERATORS.
Whatever may contribute to the ex-
tension of the commerce and trade of
South Africa, the immediate future of
the country is dependent primarily
upon the Development of its mineral re-
cources. Probably no other event has
SO impressed this fact upon the minds
of the people of the country at large as
the dire straits 20 which they have
been reduced by the rinderpest cpl
demic.
Indeed, upon two previous mcmor-
able occasions South Africa has been
saved from industrial disaster by the
stimulus given to trade through the
Development of the diamond industry
In one instance and the development OF
the gold industry in the ether. The
Deus ex machina to again save the
country will be the expansion OF the
mineral industry.
With the exception of mining of gold,
diamonds and coal, there have been no
considerable explorations of it's min
eral resources. Coal, fortunately, ex-
lists in many parts of the country. and
it has been estimated that the known
coal fields represent an area of $4,000
square miles, which is equal in extent
to the state Of Iowa. There exist in
some parts of the country large depos-
Its of iron contiguous to the coal-helds,
but as yet the economic conditions have
not favored the development of that in
dustry. Lead, silver, cinnabar, tin and
other metals are also found In many
parts of the country, but have not been
remuneratively worked. Among the
mining countries of South Africa the
Transvaal is facilc princeps, and is in
all probability destined to maintain its
paramount position; though. as is well
known, South Africa is "a country of
surprises" and it Is possible, Of course,
though not probable, that within its
great extent other equally important
districts may be discorered.-North

port of it creates not so much as ripple
OF excitement. There is no doubt that
it is dire calamity. There is no ques-
ton that the southern stars CLEAN like
wolves eyes upon vast stretches of ter
ritory where hunger has weakened the
inhabitants and the very landscape,
and made all look haggard and worn.
In that faraway country there are many
who, at this time, are dying for want OF
bread, and whose gaunt fingers would
serve, specter-like enough, to terrify
any banquet gathering. There are
thousands who walk the earth wonder
ing in their distress and dire agony if
there really is an overruling Providence
and whether, of all the widely cared for,
they are overlooked and forgotten.
They probably know that the whole
earth is not smitten with drought
and shortage, but they live to realize
that that which on earth is abundant in
not necessarily free, and that, although
there may be sufficient for all, some
may still hunger and be left to die.
It does not seem plausible. but there
Is vast disproportion in tho quality Of
sympathy extended to forms OF suffer

It is not that the agony superinduced

that brought about by destructive
