An Encll5hman writing oi pocket money

OF affection or iucOnpatibi-ty of temper
is the cause OF many unhappy marriages
The woman needs TO have certain sum
Of money that she can spend as slc pleases

Lazy Nio.et Grevilie, who Is the writer.
"i. due 20 the fact that she has never

OF q certain amount OF money from her
youth 10. and no questions are asked as
10 its disposition. She meets her hus-
band on equal terms. and not Ike the En-
gl!sh Wife-as dependent.
In reality. I'm spite Of what they may
say. or even imagine themselves TO feel.
she goes on. discomfort IS an essentially
feminine vice. When woman cringes
she is not humble but defiant. The aver
age woman sighs and gets hyst rical; the
abnormal woman emancipates herself like
Lady Caroline Lamb or George Sand.
Fortunately few women are abnormal,
but the majority are grumblers. Read
most OF the divorce court reports and

HIr Men md nir Noses.

Cyrano dc Bergerac is remembered because of his large nose Few know that he was a poet, and fewer still know his poetry The nose is a conspio- uous feature of history The length of Cleopatra's is said to have figured in Roman politics, and scandal grew out of it which ended in the ruin and death of Antony and the establishment of an empire which lasted thousand years. Napoleon would not promote a man who had not a large nose He himself was well favored in this respect Caesar was "the hook nosed Roman"
 All American statesmen have been noted for this feature. Old men tell of our own Benton, who used to shake his nose like an elephants proboscis when he got excited It seems to be the law that all great men have great noses, but let no one think that the converse of this is true, that all men who have great noses are great men. Such con- clusion would lead to confusion and needless pain and disappointment.-St Louis Post Dispatch

Tanning by EIectricItx.

By the introduction of electricity into the process the period required for the tanning of feathers has been very materially reduced. In the final process of unhairing the pelts and skins it has been demonstrated that if cur rent of small density be passed through the solution of lime and arsenic in which they are usually soaked the proc ess is so hastened that the skins are ready for the mechanical removal of the hair in several hours, whereas in the ordinary way it would require several days. The passage of the electric cur rent appears to carry the solution into the pores of the hide in a very remark able manner After the hair is removed and the skins placed ill the proper tan ming solutions weak current is again passed through the solution, which has a similar accelerating effect The fig ures of time required for tanning by this process are. with bark liquor, about l2 days for cowhide and one-half to three days for calfskin and one day for kangaroo o-Philadelphia Record.
