The Rights of a Young Wife.

Before everything else the young
woman has right to expect from her
husband tenderness, sympathy and
faith" says Ruth Ashmore in the La
dies Home Journal" But sometimes
in his eagerness TO make ali life fair
to her he fancies she is a doll, and not
woman. And a doll is a very sell
fish toy; 1t demands careful treatment
all the time, and it gives nothing but
a pref y appearance in return. It is
the foolish wife who expects infa1libili-
ty in her husband. She forgets that
there is a difference between the house
wife and the house moth. She should
expect from her husband politeness at
all times, and a certain gentleness that
every man, possessing the real instinct
of g. man, gives to a woman. But she
should not expect from him too much.
She has no right whatever to ask of
him permission to live a lazy life her
self, and give up all her days and
years to vain and idle thoughts.
When the wife can make her husbands
homecoming a joy, his home staying
a pleasure and a delight, and his leav-
ing home a sorrow, then. and then
only, can she expect a great deal from
him.

ephone of each subscriber a small appa-
ratus by means of which he will be en-
abled to communicate automatically
through the central station with whom
seever he may desire to converse. In
the central station a more important
change is necessary. There all the or
binary telephone instruments are re-
placed by a single table, on which are
laid the automatic communications
This table can be placed in any room
and the room can always remain closed
1t necessarily follows that there is no
longer any use for a large corps of en-
ployes at a central station, one person
being able to do the work which has
hitherto been done by so many.
We can see at a glance that if M. Apos-
toloff's invention is at all what he claims
it to be, the telephone service of to-day
is very likely to be entirely metamor-
phosed. Not only will communications
between subscribers be singularly SIM
plified and accelerated, but the cost OF
subscription will also very probably be
considerably lowered, owing to the
fact that there will no longer be any
necessity of paying salaries to large
of money will be saved.
Moreover, it must be remembered that
under the Apostoloff system any num-
Der of subscribers can be accommodated
in one room and without the slightest
increase of expenditure. This IS a no
table point, as hitherto in all large cities
the central stations have required con-
siderable room. Thus, in Paris, as late
as 1894 (before the Hotel des Telephones
was builD. the central station was so
overcrowded that new subscribers found
it impossible to obtain admission.
But, how does M. Apostoloff propose
to bring about this radical change?
Very easily, he says, and he lays stress
on the fact that subscribers will find the
improved telephone a very simple IN
strument, and that it will be pracucaily
impossible for them to blunder with II
or get it out of order.
Each telephone is fitted with a small
apparatus which is known as manlp-
ulator. and on the outside of which are
placed three holes and several buttons.
These buttons, when pressed, snow the
number of the subscribers with whom
one desires to communicate. This num-
Der appears as follows: In the hole
toward the left are found the numerals
of the thousands and hundreds, and IN
the hole toward the right those OF the
tens and ones. The central hole is used
as a sort of guide between subscribers;
thus, when the telephone is not IN use,
this hole bears the word "Off, showing
that the line is clear. How easy 1T is TO
obtain direct communication through a
telephone improved in this way Mr.
Fradiss clearly shows u.s.
LET us suppose he says, that sub
scriber A wants to talk to subscriber B,
whose subscription number is 2,Io3. A
presses the buttons in the left hole, ana
the successive numerals appear IN Or
der; that is. 2 and Z, the left hole con-
tanning only the numerals OF the thou-
sands and hundreds. then presses
the buttons in the right hole, and IN
like manner obtains the numerals D ana

matically in communication with 3

Telephone Operators May be Abolished
by a New Invention.
There is No Loss of Time and Con-

heard.

News of a sngularly novel and ap-
parently very useful invention comes to
us from Germany It is connected with
the telephone and it's object is to render
telephone communication more easy
than it is at present. NJ. Apostoloff, a
skilled engineer, to whom credit for the
invention is due, expresses confidence
that in a short time this new appliance
will come into general use and that the
result will be a complete revolution in
all offices and other places where tele-
phones are used In England according
to Mr.. Fradiss, who is an expert on such
matters the officials connected with the
postal and telegraph business have or
dered a thorough test to be made of Nj.
Apostoloff's appliance, and have ex-
pressed their intention of using it in
case it should be found to possess the
many advantages claimed for it.
The invention consists of an automat-
ic arrangement by means Of which di-
rect communication can be obtained
with one or more persons. By its use
each subscriber can personally commu-
nicate with another subscriber in any
other city or town, no matter how dis
tant it may be, and as many messages
can be sent simultaneously from one
city to another as there are telephones
in each city. Conversation cannot be
overheard by any third person, and a
person when in communication with one
or with several other persons can pre-
vent them from interrupting him or
from cutting off his communication.
In order to obtain these advantages
all that is necessary is to add to the tel

Buildings i'm Athens.

The most beautiful and imposing
buildings of modern Athens have been
erected by means of contributions from
exiled but patriotic Greeks in different
parts of the world, who have sent money
during life and have frequently do
mated large sums for the purpose by will.
Even the peasants of the various islands
have saved and sent money for this OBJ
ject, and the University of Athens owes
its existence to the generosity of Greeks
of all classes in every part of the world.
The Athens University is officially the
National University of the Greeks" It's
doors have been opened to women only
within the last few years and the con-
cession is said to be largely owed by
Greek women to the high stand taken
by American and English girls in the
American School of Classical Studies in
Athens Two very beautiful new build
ings are enthusiastically admired by
visitors to Athens-the Academy of
Science and the library The first was
erected by a rich Viennese Greek, Baron
Sina, and is entirely of white Pentelican
marble, modelled after an ancient Ionic
temple. One of the finest frescoes of
Europe is in the central hall. The Ii
brary, hardly yet completed, is the gift
of a wealthy Greek of London named
Vallianos and is a token of his graft
tude to Queen Olga. A brother of VAL
lianos went to Russia, became nihilist
committed some crime and was SEN
fenced to deah. Vallianos of London
hurried to Greece and besought the
Queen to use her powerful influence in
his behalf She consented and was s11c-
cessful in procuring an unconditional
pardon. The millionaires thanks took

THE COLORED SHIRT.
A Proclamation of Good Taste and the
Young Mans Enemy.

In writing of "The Offense of the
Colored Shirt" Edward w. Box, in the
Ladies' Home Journal" denounces it
in it's present development-viol col
ors with white collar, and worn with
loud cravat-as an absolute offense
against good taste. MANY of the col
ors and combinations worn in shirts by
men of good repute," he asserts, have
been borrowed from the sporting ele
ment-gamblers on the racetrack and
followers of the prize fight, who for a
long time had a monopoly of this style
of wardrobe, and were known by their
shirts of wonderful design, as well as
by their clothes of loud and large
Checks Too many of our young men
consider themselves well dressed now
adays with the lurid- -colored shirt as
part of their toilet If they could
however, see themselves with the eyes
of others they would very speedily
come to different conclusion. A young
man can, least of all, profane good
taste in dress, no matter how general
foolish fad may become. He is always
being judged by some one older than
himself, and many business man
judges a young mans character by his
ur6SS. Inc COIOTeQ SnlFC Oh VlOleul COL
or or design is not the young mans
friend: it is his enemy. He does not
impress people with his good taste by
wearing it; on the contrary, he shows
the weakness in his character of a
tendency to unwise imitation. The
quiet, gentlemanly garb is his, and he
should adhere to it. Employers look
not for the latest styles in a young
mans dress, but for sense of neatness
and becomingnesS.
Dress cheerfully; at 20 we need not
dress es if We're 80. There is a happy
medilf1n between the black tie and the
violent cravat of rainbow hue. That
is where good taste comes in, and a
young man must exercise it. The col
ored shirt is possible for him, but with
in limitations. The pin dot or stripe is
not offensive; on the contrary, it is be-
coming. But brilliant cravats, fancy
waistcoats, loud and large checks in
clothes, and extreme colors in shirts,
are not for the young man of taste, re-
finement or of future standing. Nor
are they in one whit better taste I'D Ne

the paragraph relating to manufacture
OF agate, etc, moving a reduction OF
the rate from 80 to 20 per cent The
amendment was defeated-yeas II,
nays %. The committee proposed a
change in the amendment, relating to
marble and onyx, leaving the marble
rate as reported and placing onyx in
block at 81 80 per cubic foot.
Vest remarked that this was raise
of 800 per cent. over the present rate,
to which Aldrich assented.
Caffery spoke on such heavy in
creases, warning Aldrich that he was
digging the grave" of protection.
Aldrich answered that the proposed
rates were required in order to give the
American producers of onyx adequate
protection against Mexican onyx.
White supported the committee on
this amendment, showing difference
with his Democratic associates on the
Finance Committee in this respect.
Perkins Of California spoke of the
onyx industry in his State and the
need Of adequate protection against the
brilliant grades of onyx produced by
the cheaper labor of Mexico. He stated
also that biologists had located large
onyx deposits in Arkansas, and he ex-
pressed surprise that the Arkansas
Senator Jones) was not ready to help
his people develop the deposit.
In referring to the rates on onyx,
White said they would be less than
those given by the present sugar sched-
ule which, he added, incidentally, he
understood would never be voted on.

agreed to-yeas 81, nays II. Messrs.
White and Rawlins voted with the Re-
publicans in the affirmative.
The committee amendment as a
whole. relating to marble and onyx,
was then agreed to.
A contest was made on free stone and
other classes of undressed stone, Vest
moving a reduction from IA to Z per
cubic foot. Vest pointed out that the
proposed rate was 3 per cent greater
that the Mckinley rates, under which
the exports We're less than under the
Wilson rates. Vests amendment was
disagreed to-yeas IS, nays ~.
On dressed free stone Vest moved a
reduction from so to 80 per cent The
amendment was disagreed to-yeas 10,

The other paragraphs relating to
stone and slate were agreed to as re-
ported
This brought the Senate up to sched-
ule &C. relating to metals and manu-
factures of metals.
White suggested that as the Senate
was drawing near to the sugar sched-
ule, any new schedule, even in embryo
form, ought to be printed at an early
day, as Senators desired to make cal
culations on it.
''The Senator will receive ample no
tice," responded Aldrich, smilingly.

SAN FRANCISCO, June John j.
De Haven, who was to-day appointed
by President Mckinley as the successor
to Judge Morrow upon the bench of the
United States District Court, has held
a number of prominent positions, and
is popular not only among his con-
freres of the bar, but other circles. He
was born in ST. Joseph, Mo-, on March
u, 1916.
In 1867 he was elected District At
torney of Humboldt County, and at the
end of his term was sent as a represen-
tative to the State Assembly. In 1871
he further represented his constituents
in the State Senate. He was then nom
inee of the Republicans for Congress
man for his district, but was defeated
by narrow margin. After serving a
term of four years as Superior Judge,
he was sent to Congress. At the close
of his term of office he was chosen to
serve as a Justice of the State Supreme
Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-Hon.
William w Morrow was this morning
duly installed as United States Circuit
Judge for the Ninth judicial Circuit.
The oath was administered by Circuit
Judge Gilbert, while Judge Ross, of the

UNCLE SANS CONSCIENCE FUND.
Identity of Stoning Evii-Doers IS
Usually Concealed.

s'The people sending money to the
conscience fund of the United States
Treasury are not known" writes Cliff
ford Howard in the Ladies Home
Journal" 'tThey never present them
selves at the treasury, and they take
care to conceal their identity by making
their contributions anonymously or un-
der assumed names. In a great many
instances the contribution is made
through a minister or priest, which is
done, perhaps, for the effect of not only
more surely hiding the identity of the
penitent, but of adding sanctity to his
contribution Others again make their
peace offerings through their friends or
relatives, and even jailers sometimes
perform this duty for remorseful Grim
inals. AS a further precaution against
discovery many of these people endeavor
to disguise their handwriting, or they
have their communications written on
the typewriter, while not a few forward
their money without a line or word of
writing. 1t is always taken for granted
that such remittances are intended for
the conscience fund, as it is reasonable
to presume that no one would send
money in that loose fashion unless it
were for the purpose of expiating some
secret crime against the Government.
Occasionally some one will remit by
check or money order, in which case, Of
course, his name becomes known; and
once in a great while some man will have
the courage to deliberately confess his
guilt and sign his name to the commun
ication; but such instances are rare, for
there appears TO be Il general fear
among these contrite people that, al
though they clear their eonsciences by
making rs3aration to the Government,
the law may still have the right to lay
hold Of them for their misdeeds."
