1t Was Consumption.

We this week present for the first time the case
Of Thomas Field, of s2se Sherman Avenue north
west. This has been o very complicated case. and
quite number OF opinions have been given as to
what the real trouble was. Mr.. Field says: My

Erudne View of Happy Marriage.

President Eliot. in a recent address be-
fore the Dorchester. Mass. Woman's
Club. discussed the happy marriage and
gave it what free and easy writer's call
a first-class notice. A very brief ex-
tract from this address credits him with
saying that the idealizing devotion with
which the happy marriage begins is the
most admirable thing in human nature.
He does not seem to favor the idea that
the corner stone of happiness in mar
riage is a sufficient income. secured
against the chances of fortune On the
contrary. he declares. as the Transcript
quotes him. that the young woman who
marries for money or position is sacri-
ficing the best of life which marriage af-
fords The chief conditions of a happy
marriage as he finds them. are health.
common Intellectual interests, and re-
ligious belief held in common between
husband and wIIe. No doubt he en-
larged upon these condition. and quail
fide the idea of the superlative Importance
of the latter two by taking large views of
them. We often see. for example, people
very happily married whose minds are
so differently constituted that it seems
impossible that they should have more
than a limited number of Intellectual in
terests in common. But there are diff
ferent kinds of good minds. and minds
that supplement one another seem quite
as well suited to harmonious associations
as those that run in parallel grooves.
So as to a common religious belief.
That must mean agreement in the great
essentials. the roots of which lie deep
in character. and which really determine
standards and shape conduct. The ex-
istence Of practical agreement of this
sort is not necessarily inconsistent with
much variation in details of belief which
are important but not really vital A
marriage between Protestant and a
Catholic may be happy. though such al
liances are highly inconyenient. The
marriage which may be expected to fail
Is one between persons who are not like-
ly to agree as to what is right and what
10 wrong.

tant lands are usually made in hospital
ships. and she plays no part on the field
of battle Her duty is to serve in hos

which the wounded are sent. She is in
no sense a doctor, but she is a surgeon 5
assistant. When the government issues
a call from an i'll man to be sent home
from foreign stations Netley nurses go
out on vessel to bring him home. For
this reason they are Obliged to be capl-

is not an easy one. but it is full of inter-
est. and when they become old they re-

A Wife Who Is stu "A Sweetheart.

Half a dozen women sat chatting one
day last week. Nearly all were mar
ried. and the conversation had turned in
to a discussion of how wife might most
easily and surely hold her husband. The
hostess. a comely matron, who is still
sweethearts with her partner for life.
though they have been welded over ten
years was asked for an expert opinion
on the subject This is what she said:
why | don't think it is hard 10 hold
a man after you've once attracted him.
You make a mistake in really yielding to
a man whom you've attracted. You
should smile and smile. and only seem

Is a sad day FOR husband when a wife
leaves off her mask of coquetry. You
know. flirting is one thing, and coquetry
another. A refined woman is born with
a sweet spirit of coquetry. but the ar.
of flirting is acquired. and is generally
somewhat vulgar. You can coquet and
be perfectly sincere. but flirting is mere

course. We are only looking at this sub
ject from a mental point of view. We
are speaking of how TO hold men in that
way. not by physical charm. for there
is no elevating happiness to be derived
from the latter method. 1t would be
senseless to say that women have not
held men in that way for lifetime. and
perhaps in the life to come but 1 doubt

Marrying to Kill Time.

One strange feature of Australian social
life, says the Sydney Bulletin, is the per-
fectly casual way in which men marry for
no ostensible purpose except the purpose
of vanishing wearily around the corner

THE DRAGON OF SPRING.
An Essay ON the Tortsres of Clean
ing HOuae.

An Essay ON the Tortares of Clean
ing House.
We are all familiar with the fairy tale
in which a certain kingdom Is infested by
a dragon which every Spring descends
from the mountains and carries OF one of
the fairest maidens. The Anerican IItch-
en- Magazine makes this dragon the text
of a little sermon on annual Spring clean
ing. which it considers quite as deadly in
its way as the said dragon. and hydra
headed as well. for when YOU have taken
off all its heads they have grown as large
and as clamorous as ever when the next
Spring comes.
This journal remarks: There is no doubt
that a so-called "well-9rganized house
cleaning is at the bottom of more colds
and subsequent doctors bills and of more
serious results not few than any freak
of wind or weather In the most variable
of climates. Does 1t not seem more rea-
sonable to keep the house clean all the
year. that you need not spend any given
period cf days or weeks with your head
turbaned in mop cap, your arms In
soapsuds to the elbows and your nerves
and temper on an edge?
The first point to make note Of is
the regular cleaning of one or more rooms
every week: how many this shall be TO
be determined by the size OF your house
and the number of servants, as well as
by the use of these rooms and the daily
care they receive. For instance. the spare
room. If little used, VIII require but two
thorough cleanings in a year. while every
second week 1t should be busted and the
rug or carpet lightly brushed or run over
with the carpet sweeper. II often oc4
cupied. let 1t have; a thorough cleaning
after the departure of each guest. From
two to four times year the parlor should
be one of the rooms TO receive complete
turning out: the sitting-room once a
month. With daily use of the sweeper
and careful touches of the duster this,
should also suffice for the dining-room
The kitchen will require a weekly and the
sleeping rooms monthly oyerhanIiug.
The complete cleaning process includes
polishing or Oilng of stained floors, wash
Ing of windows. pictures and looking
glasses. wiping the spots from paint and
where the condition seems to demand 1t,
the washing of all the woodwork Cell
ings and side walls must be swept and
busted. and this is a good time to repair
any ravages that time or ill-usage may
have made in wall paper.
Carpets and rugs are to have such treat
ment as their condition requires.

THE NKHRT
BOWED DOWN
Comfort Comes With ''Talk-
ing Over" Things.
WOmnn Manifexts Her Power iIf the
Divine Art of Healing the Woes
of Distressed Ones.

OF course, when the heart Is bowed
down with sorrow there is a natural I'M
pulse To- share The burden with someone
else and TO woman a grief, for the
time at least, has lost half its bitterness
when another mourns with her. 1t Is thls
feeling that is generally at the bottom of
her condolences. so often misplaced, so
more than often indiscreet. Say what one
will. there. is temporary comfort in talk
ing over things with a sympathetic per-
son, ard in that lies the temptation and
the danger. We tell of our disappoint-
ment in this one, the ingratitude OF that
one. something has happened that makes
our hearts sore and heavy, and we pour
IL all out. only to wonder the next day
what on earth made US guilty of such
idiocy. In a clever novel that was pub
lished a few years ago it is related that
Il young man was discovered sitting. ST.
lent and lonely. out on a fence while the
college hop was going gayly on near by.
A friend asked what he was doing. 10
which the young philosopher responded
that he was trying to keep from making
a fool of himself: that there was CIR,
at the dance that he knew he should
propose to Ef he were TO give himself the
ohance and that If he did he would re-
gret it the next day. There is a world
of suggestion in the remark. and when
we are tempted 10 contide our personal
feelings and experience in strangers il
would save us a lot of subsequent morti-
fication and regret il We would only go
off by ourselves and sit on a fence until
We had cooled off and were reasonably
safe from committing such folly.
The desire for sympa athy that is such
u passion with most women leads them
irsto all sorts Of unntentional seltishness.
They simply won't bear anything by
themselves They don't mean to be
hard on their friends or families. They
only fail to realize how wearing continual
drafts on ones sympathy can become. If
their servants are unsatisfactory. they
spend hours recounting their misdeeds,
and you must moan and groan with them
over the degeneracy of domestic help. If
their dressmaker disappoints them you
never hear the last of ii. and you are
expected TO think that it is the worst
catastrophe that ever occurred. If they
are sick it is rank heresy to believe that
anybody ever suffered SO before, and you
are bound to maintain an unwearied atti-
dude while the thrilling recital of pills
and poticGs goes on. Such women del
uge their husbands with all the petty do
nestle worries of the family, not because
they want any help. or would take sug-
gestion from him. but just because they
want him 10 sympathize with them and
know the troubles they have. II never
occurs TO them that a man may have
troubles. 100. and that after worrying
with the bread and butter problem all
day. and being harassed with his own en-
pioyes. by the time he comes home he is

Gingerbread for Soldier.

The women who have been wanting to
do something to help or comfort the men
in camp will be glad to learn with what

Topeka In this direction were received by
the volunteers stationed there: An i'm

the camp. Each soldier was given a
loaf of It. and their appreciation of this
gift from the women of Topeka was
loudly expressed.
