How n Welded Life Changes Many
Ideas and Ideals.
The point Of view of a usband and wife
after marriage differs frequently and rad
ically from the horizon that bounded the
sky Of the engagement season. The first
year Of married life is the most difficult
year to live, for it takes infinite patience as
we'll as infinite love to adjust ones self and
tastes to another, even II the other is the
beloved companion Of life. The following
story illustrates the tiny speck that mars
the blue sky or the little rift within the
lutte that makes discord out OF domestic
harmony:
THE wedding day OF this young couple
was far enough In the distance to show a
decided linear perspective, and the husband
had come to know his wife sufficiently well
to feel that. though she might be a very
good little wife. she was not the wingless
angel he had at first supposed her, and he
was not always exactly pleased with every
thing she did. Only little things. OF course.
but, knowing that great oaks from little
acorns grow, he felt It his duty to comment
occasionally upon these little shortcomings.
Jennie he eaid one day, coming into
the parlor, where the little wife was war
bling a love song at the piano and exhibit
ing an altogether care-free enjoyment OF
life, which grated upon the feelings at that
moment, Jennie he repeated, there's a

that you mended them at all Mop queried
Jennie in an enigmatical tone. and con-
tinued her music, apparently without fur

wardly she was angry, and very angry. She
had been well brought up by a house
keeperly mother. and to be told that she did
not darn her husbands stockings was gall
and NORWOOD.
"Ill let him know whether | mend his
socks or not, she said to herself the next
morning, the insult still ranking, though
she had kissed her husband goodbye with
wifely affection. Then she put on her hat
and coat and hied herself to the nearest dry
goods shop. and there she purchased a good
ly quantity of bright, scarlet darning cot

down that afternoon to attend to the small

suspicion of a break in a thread it was a
| sufficient excuse to put in a stitch of the
bright scarlet. His feet will look just like
a pair OF paroquets,' she said, smiling wick
eddy as she completed her task.
Whether the young husband had not an
eye for color, or whether his conscience
smote him for his former harshness will
never be known, for he never said a word
concerning this bright embroidery on his
hosiery, and 1t might have been continued
indefinitely II his mother-in-law had not
made her appearance on the scene. She felt
it her duty to set straight any little matters
that were going wrong, and one OF the first
things her sharp eyes espied was the red

university in Halifax, to accept the chair of
philosophy there.
During m stay in Berlin I attended on
one occasion a reception given by the min
lister of the United States, then, as now, Hon.
Andrew ID. White. At that time Mr.. White
was president OF Cornell university. From
him and from Prof. Willard Fiske, whom I
met at the same time, l learned a great deal
about Cornell.
This chance meeting with Mr.. White was
destined to have a great influence on my
later career. When Cornell came to estab-
fish a chair Of philosophy Mr.. White re-
membered MI and proceeded to hunt me up.

OF it was hal the chair was offered to me.

That $50 a year made all the difference in
the world to me then. With 1t I could con-

sixty dollars is not a large sun for a
boy to start out a school year. But in
Charlotte Town, where Prince OF Wales
college was located. living was cheap, and ]
