young lovers dream of. believe that these
times need women whose most beautiful
work will be done inside their own doors
Without good housekeeping the romance
will soon go out of marriage. OF course,
the man who prizes woman chiefly because
she "iooketh well TO the ways of her house
hold does not deserve to have good wife
He should merely employ housekeeper and
pay her good wages. But there are social,
moral and spiritual uses, proceeding from
the wise reg gdlation of the household, which
bestow dignity OH what would otherwise
be trlfling. No matter what girls accom-
plishments may be, her education is in
complete IL she has not some knowledge of
bake-ology, boil ology, roast-ology, stitch
ology and Tnend-ology. Even il she should
never be required to do the work herself,
she ought to know whether it is done in a
proper manner"

SOUTH AMERICAN lovers have pretty
custom. 1t is we'll known that when
the petals of the great laurel magnolia
are touched, however lightly, the result
is brown spot, which develops in a
few hours. The fact is taken advantage
of by the lover, who pulls a magno ola
flower, and on one of it's pure white
petals writes a motto or message with
a hard, sharp-pointed pencil. Then he
sends the flower, the young lady puts
it in vase of water, and in three or
four hours the message written on the
leaf becomes visible.

THIRTY years ago there were 70 en-
'ployes of the senate on, the payroll.
To-day the number is 1854. The large
increase is in proportion not only to
the size of the senate, but as we'll to
the increase in public business, due to
the enormous development of the coun-
try. But the number of high-priced
employees has not increased in proper
tion to the increase in the total num-
Der. Thus, two years ago, an 81, 800
clerk in the post office was cut off, and

carrier service. It was said that the
clerk was not needed, but the addition

A RUSSIAN inventor has constructed
an apparatus which is to enable people
buried alive to communicate with the
outer world should they awake from
their trance in the grave. The inven-
tion consists in the main of a button on
the inside of the coffin, situated imme-
diately over the breast of the appar-
emily dead person. If the unfortunate
person comes to life and begins to
breathe, the first action of the body is
the expansion of the chest; this presses
the button upward, and an alarm bell
is set going in the Office of the superin-
tendent of the cemetery.
