Who MAKE THE BEST HUs-
BANDS ?-An authority on man.
kind has given his views on the sort
of men that make the best hus-
bands. Among the really nice
ones he classes the man who is fond
of fishing, the lawyer and the all
round journalist. He does not en-
thuse over the popular doctor as q
husband, and a musical genius or
o man Of letters gives him cold
childs and shudders.
The author, he says, is so fond
of his fine sentences that he is dis
agreeable when the baby cries aud
makes himself generally odious
about the children and any domes-
tic infelicities that may come along.
The musician cares for little except
his art, and the wife is often Sec
ondarY to the claims Of the prima
dona or the sympathetic creature
whose soul is as full of melody as
his own.
All in ell, the good journalist
seems to have the most popular
points. He is q bit of philosopher,
is likely to be practical, makes the
best Of what cannot be helped and
is full of alternatives. The Law
yer is good to have in the house.
He is likely to be alert, a good
judge of human nature, q good
talker and quite as fond of listen
ing as of hearing the sound of his
own voice. He studies human ma
ture at home as we'll as broad, and
10 altogether a good fellow.

RoMAS LANps.-When the Ro-
mans invaded Britain and settled
in many quarters, they used small
clay lamps, some open like shell,
Others covered. with only small
hole left to allowof the lamp being
filed With oil. Open clay cups
with the two hollows we're also
common, one hollow being provid-
ed for the wick, the capillary at
traction drawing the oil from the
other.
Many beautiful bronze lamps are
discovered in these ancient Roman
camps, illustrating By these simple
domestic articles the perfection to
which art had been carried when
nothing was considered too ordi-
nary to be beautiful. DIR. Hill
Burton referring to the beauty of
design and decoration on the CON-
monest articles of Roman manu-
facture, Gays: They afford traces Of
decoration sufficient to show an Ell
ovation in the ornamentiDg of CON-
mon articles which the pottery of
the present day is only now reach
ing, and that rather BY slavish inn
itation than by original develop
ment.' The same historian also
records that "a good many terra
Gotta candlebra or lamps have been
found of that peculiar form which
has in q manner become canoical
through its matches grace and
simplicity, and has hence, ever
since it existed in its purity, been
contorted Into ornamental service
The origin Of the cruisie has been
found among Roman antiquities,
and, strange to relate, this simple
lamp appears to have been adopted
wherever the Roman settled with
his conquering legions-France,
Italy and Northern africa produc-
ing them, with little variation from
the Roman original.

Many old soldiers now feel the effects
OF the hard service they endured during
the war. Mr.. George 8. Anderson, of
Rossville, York county. Penn, who saw
the hardest kind of service at the front,

matism. II had severe attack lately"
he says, land procured a bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. Ii did so much
good that | would like to know what
you would charge me for one dozen bot
ties" Mr.. Anderson wanted it both for
his friends and neighbors, as every fam
lily should have a bottle of it in their
home, not only for rheumatism, but
lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts,
bruises and burns, for which it is un-
equalled. For sale by VIM. +. Green

BIG SOLDIERS or TO-DAY.

PROBABLY the tallest omcer IN
service today il the English guards
man Captain Oswald Ames Of the
Second Life Guards, who headed
the Queens Jubilee procession,
and who measures feet 8 inches.
1t was at the personal request Of
the Prince of Wales that Captain
Ames rode alone, the first in all
that brilliant gathering. A giant
Muscovite is the Grand Duke
Dmitri Konstantinovitch, cousin of
the Gear, and Colonel commanding
the regiment Of Grenadiers of the
Imperial Guard. The Grand Duke
is-6 feet 7 inches. which is SO I'M
mensely tall that no hotel bed has
been found long enough to accom-
modate him comfortably. He is
obliged to have one built in Sec
tons, which travels with him. and
is put up by Q special mechanic,
told OF for the purpose, under the
superintendence of the royal valet.
Another gigantic European officer
is Colonel Won Phiskow OF the 1st
Regiment Of Prussian Guards. He
is over 6 feet 6 inches, ami he
headed the delegation of officers,
all of them over six feet, sent by
EN- eror William to the funeral Of
the late President Faure. Won
Phiskow is the tallest officer in
Germany aud his regiment, station
ed at Potsdam, is the same that
was the plaything Of that old SOL
der Frederick.
Captain James NJ. Forsyth and
Rurgeon J. K. Gardiner are the
tallest officers in the United States
Navy, and both Of them closely ap-
proach the 6-foot 5-inch mark.
Captain Forsyth comes Of tall
family. His father was feet
inches, one of his brothers 6 feet z
inches, another 6 feet 5 inches, and
his own son, who is 20 years old
and q non con- missioned officer in
the Pennsylvania Boys Brigade, is
6 feet 6 inches tall.
Another fine specimen of an ar
my officer is Colonel Helm, First
Cavalry, who is commandant OF
cadets at West Point, and who is
6 feet q inches.
Colonel DAN Appleton of the
Seventh New York Regiment needs
no mention beyond the fact that be
belongs to a family of tall men.
The Colonel Is 6 feet 2 inches, and
his father, the late John A. Apple
ton, was the same height.
Another tall officer is General
Lawton, his height being 6 feet 4
inches.
Richard Wand Green yelling il
decidedly long name, but it fits
the tall gentleman who carries it,
for he is 6 feet 81 inches without
his boots.
The United States Volunteers
have also some tall and distinguish
ed officers. John Jacob Aston, who
was among the earliest to answer
the Presidents first appeal for men
and money, is over 6 feet 3 inches.
The Rough Riders, celebrated IN
many other ways, had also a very
tall man among them, in the per-
son Of William Taylor de Zychlin-
ski. who 10 a trifle over 6 feet 3

The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1899-05-14

believes the provisions of tho charter as
It now stands allowing suits 10 be brought
for taxes due ror as FAR back as twenty
two years is unjust, oppressive and wrong,
and that tho large number OF suits which
have been brought. as he learns, wherein
the defendants have produced their re-
ceipts is evidence at once OF the inJus-
tice of the charter. This being true. he
personally favored such amendment rs
would give relief: but entire harmony be-
tween the senator and representatives was
essential to any action, and all were con-
fronted with the question whether 1t was
best or not to give the amendment retro
active effect. and whether 1t would do
most harm or good. and as statements
furnished by the city attorney set forth
that a large proportion of smaller tax
payers have been sold out or have paid,
the retroactive amendment might work
further injustice. Mr.. Burnes was COM
pelled to be absent today owing to the
death of Mr. Gillespie, his klnsman; so
Judge Kittroll was deprived of tho benefit
OF a conference with him.
Another amendment authorizes the coun-
Gil to appoint an inspector OF steam boil
ers, who shall be a competent stationery
engineer of at least Ave years experience.
And the cher amendment authorizes
the council to provide for the gradual
refundng OF the amounts Heretofore paid
for pavements under the front foot rule
heretofore existing and to determine how
