Almost the one thing an active man wants
most from his wife is an intelligent and en-
tire sympathy with his professional employ
ment For the happiness Of life consists far
more in it's interests than in its possessions;
and who can care for a wax doll at the
other end of the table, whose only object in
life is to put on clothes and then put them
off? He wants another double for himself
who can enter into his pursuits, share his
disappointments, divide his burdens, and ex-
ult in his success. And coupled with SYM
pathy should be encouragement For If a
mans own wife does not believe in him, and
look up to him, and admire him, and like
him better than any one else. poor man,
who else will? If he is not king at home,
where is he king? Nevertheless. her en-
enlargement must be delicate, and judi

a bluebottle fly that can't get honey enough,
he won't care for it unless II IS perfectly
natural; he viii be vexed by 1t If it is over
done. In fact he will only feel ridiculous If

which his friends and relations happen to be

he likes her to admire his speeches, If she
likes all alike or picks out the inferior pas

THE HORSE THAT WANTED SHOES.
Showed that He Knew a blacksmith

Boston Transcript.

Boston ITdHScrlpC.
If his mistress is to be believed land who
dare say she isn'tO, the old horse Jerry,
some of whose exploits have been related
before, can read. The other day he was put
four miles away. The roads turned out to
be unexpectedly slippery, and Jerry was
smooth shod. He had SO dreadful a time in
getting down the hills that all the people
had TO get out and walk, and as he was
trying to pull up one hill he actually so lost
his footing that the carryall began to run
it, and If the driver had not expertly
cramped the wheels into bank there must
have been bad accident. The mistress de-
clared that if she got the horse to the town
alive she would have him sharp shod there
They did get to the town at last.
As As they were were driving through the streets
they came to place where the sign of
blacksnnith's shop hung at the head of a
little alley. The shop itself was not in sight
only the sign to direct people down The
alley. The horse had never oeen shod at
this place, nor anywhere else in the town,
but as soon as he came abreast of this sign
ne attempted to turn down the alley, and
his driver had difficulty in getting him past.
After some other matters were attended 10

never slipped once, and you cannot con-

that what he needed was sharp shoeing nor
that he was not aware that that sign PORT

rable example.

gratifying success, and the erection of a

should respond to the visits Of the COM
mittee literally and quickly, as time is
necessarily short in which to complete

The cannery will be of great benefit
to the city and surrounding country,

are certainly deserving of substantial en-
couragement in their work.

LARGEST SILVER NUGGET.

Probably the largest nugget or mass
Of silver ever mined was piece weigh
ing 1,340 pounds, which was taken
from the Smuggler mine, Aspen, Colo,
in 1894. In regard to this nugget, S.
l. Hallet of the Smuggler mine, writes
to Mines and Minerals:
THE nugget in question formed part
of consignment of 1901 pounds of
ore, which with silver at So cents or
thereabout, netted us, free and clear of
all expenses, very close to $4,000.
This particular nugget was gotten out
by itself, and seemed to be extremely
pure, so that l photographed it. 1t
was impossible to assay it in the ordi-
nary acceptation of the word, and it
was put directly into crucibles and the
crucible returns given to us by the
company. The smelling charges on
such ore were naturally high.
This streak of silver occurred as a
core in some very rich ore, averaging
about 1000 ounces per ton. At times
it would be half an inch in thickness,
and then widen out to two feet or two
feet and half. 1t was little purer
than silver dollar and almost as
