Finances In the Home.

A lack Of sound business under
standing between husband and wife
has been the ruin e more homes than
poverty.
When a man and woman enter into
a partnership-that most important
partnership in lifc-both members in
the new firm should have distinct
appreciation of the financial situation,
and, as the years pass, the firm prof
its and losses should come within the
equal knowledge of both.
So would be avoided much Of the
unhappincss that arises from the hus-
band Is thinking his wife cxtravagant
or the wife's thinking her husband
stingy. Nothing is more discouraging
to a man than to see his hard earned
money thrown rccklessly away on lux
uries he feels that only the families Of
| richer men can afford, but often this
expenditure is due, not to wil!fulness
on the wife S part, but to simply not
knowing how much her husband can
afford to have her spend. He is often
over-indulgent. She tells him of two
bonncts; one is five dollars more than
the other, and she doesn't know
whether she ought to get it-"but it
is a dear of a bonnet she adds, and
he, too weakly loving, tells her "to
buy it and look pretty and then
when the bill comes in, he broods over
his expense.
At another time she asks for money
to buy a certain piece of bric-a-b brac,
and meets with refusal, and. at loss
to reconcile her husbands former
generosity with the present denial.
inwardly decides that he is ''closc.
Both Of these Misunderstanding arc
due to want of mutual advice and
confidence concerning the household
! treasury.
The way to avoid the unhappiness
that such Misunderstanding invaria-
bly, brings about, is for the wife to
have an allowance for household ex-
penses, knowing exactly sha. ratio
this allowance bears 20 her husband
whole income. Whether the allowance
be large or small will really matter
very little in home that is establish
ed on the above soundmoney basis.-

The Mad Dog BugabOo.

In the June Ladies' Home journal
Edward w. Box writes on the "Buga-
boo of the Mad Dog" quoting num-
her Of authorities tn show that there
is no such disease as "hydrophobia, >
and inquiring if "it is not time, there
fore, in view of these indisputable
facts, that we should give ourselves q
little more freedom from this bugaboo
Of the mad dog? What the newspa
pers so essentially report as cases of hy-
drophobia are, in reality, nothing
more nor less than instances of peo
pie who have been bitten by dogs and
frightened into hysterical conditions,
in which they involuntarily reproduce
all the supposed symptoms of hydro
phobia. 1t is pity that our newspa-
per editors cannot have more careful
regard for the feelings Of women dur
ing the summer months and agree to
suppress the reports Of cases supposed
to be hydrophobia. They make the
public mind nervous, and do more to
spread the silly notion of belief in
hydrophobia than anything else.
Women have had their feelings
played upon enough by this foolish
notion of hydrophobia, and enough
unnecessary suffering has been infict
ed upon the dog, who is often killed
for nothing but popular fallacy.
'It is high time that common sense
should rule; that we should believe
the fact that there is no such thing as
hydrophobia, and rid ourselves of this
senseless and ridiculous bugaboo of
the mad dog?"
