JOYS OF MATR1MoNY.

An Atchison woman is not only a
poor cook and housekeeper, but she
does not laugh at her husbands jokes.
The popular idea of very sensible
woman is one who refuses to turn over
to her husband all the money she
earned before she married.
When there is company the boy Of
the family usually says something that
results in his mother giving him flag
raising as soon as the company has
gone.
An Atchison father says the only
time he gets front seat in crowd is
when one of his daughters is married
to a 25-cent young man and he does
not want good view.
If married man compliments q
pretty woman in the presence Of his
wife his wife reproves him, and if the
wife is not present the pretty woman
thinks it her duty to reprove him.
A man doesn't feel that his territory
is being infringed upon when some one
compliments his wife, but he does feel
that his rights are being usurped when
others than himself scold hsr:-Atchi-
Kioto, japan, formerly regarded as
the sacred city of the mikado, is being

The streets of Peking, China, are un-

three kerosene lamps. The first two
are before the Russian embassy and

CONCERNING YOUR FLOORS.

If it is preferred hardwood floor
may be stained to correspond With the
walls OF furniture in a room.
w. NJ Roberts, of Red Springs, N. c.,
raised this year 171a bushels OF wheat
on less than half an acre.
A tile or brick floor looks well in a
room furnished In Flemish style, but
only large houses can stand this
method OF treatment.
In country houses a very good idea
is to paint the floor and woodwork one
color, sharply contrasting with the
walls.
If the floor is Of soft wood and car
pet is necessary, the effect may be inn
proved by laying few small rugs
down over the carpet to break the mo-
notony.
Give the floor covering beautiful
color. but beware OF designs which are
confusing to the eye. AZ a carpet OF
rug must be walked on a light color IL
not suitable, something rich, deep
and cheerful being preferred.
Many people make the mistake Of
beating the rugs which cover their
floors. Az rugs are never so closely
woven as carpets they should only be
brushed or thoroughly swept. If care
is taken an ordinary rug will outwear
any CARPET

WONDERFUL KNIVES.

There is knife at Sheffield which Is
very remarkable. 1t is not longer than
thumb nail, and yet contains 20
blades.
One of the most wonderful knives in
existence has 1870 blades, all having
hinges and springs and closing into
the same handle.
At Windsor castle, among the royal
plate is knife which was presented by
the cutters of Sheffield to George ".
1t is remarkable as having more than
hundred blades.
The cutters at Sheffield have knife
which is but an inch long when CLOSED,
has 70 blades, beautifully made and
illustrating nearly all the forms ever
given to knife blades. Another speci-
men has 22O blades, all etched with
portraits, landscapes or other artistic
designs.
King Humbert OF Italy possesses a
hunting knife the handle of which is
solid ivory, beautifully carved, and sur
mounted with the royal crown. Its
sheath is of pigskin, mounted in
massive silver chased to match the
knife, with the royal arms of Italy in
bold relief. The price of the knife was
500, and the case cost another SIS.

MUSICAL NOTES.

Paderewski's next American tour
will begin in San Francisco in '99.
The number of musical performances
given in Berlin may be inferred from
the fact that in Dechstein hall alone
about 200 concerts were given last sea-
son.
Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart are to
have a monument in common in Ber-
lin. A committee is now considering
a model submitted by Prof. Rudolf
Siemering.
Paul Gibson has written for the The
ater de la Monnaie, an opera in one act
and' two scenes, yet unnamed. 1t Is
based on Hugo's "Legende des Siecles," !"
and Marie Brema will create the prin-
cipal part.
The Paris Grand Opera has an annual
subsidy of $16O, 600, besides free house
and light, or a value in all of about
$25O,OOO year. Nevertheless, the re-
cent report of the minister of fine arts
shows that there was a loss on last
years performances.
Director Mailer, of the Vienna Inn
perial opera, has done two things late
ly that have added much to his already
great popularity among musicians and
music lovers. He has increased the pay
of his orchestra and chorus 90 per cent,
and reduced the price Of seats rs per
cent.

DAMAGE TO WIRES.
Telephone and Telegraph Companies
Affected by Rain.

Telephone and Telegraph COmpnnics
Affected by Rain.
The heavy rains which have prevailed
for several days past have done consider
able damage to telegraph and telephone
wires all over the State, and Houston
business men who use the telegraph and
telephone have been put to considerable
Inconvenience in consequence. The West
ern Union had no wires last night to any
point on the Central, except to Dallas,
which was reached via New Orleans. The
Austin wires We're among those down.
Calvert is cut off entirely from all wire
communication with the outside world.
The Associated Press dispatches, which
ordinarily come from Dallas, were handled
last night from Memphis via New Orleans
All OF the wires on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas are down and those on the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass and Hous-
ton East and West Texas have been affect
ed by the weather The Southern Pacific
wires In both directions are in good work
ing order, as are those on the International
and Great Northern, which road has not
suffered from washouts on the gulf d.
vision and is running through trains from
Houston.
The Postal Telegraph company, which
has wires leading into the city over the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas from the
North and the Southern Pacific from the
East. were reported to be in good order
at late hour last night The Galveston
wires OF both companies are unaffected
The Southwestern Telegraph and Tele-
phone company has also suffered consid-
erably. its chief trouble from the washouts
being on the main line and the Austin
branch Of the Central. All OF the other
long distance lines are In fair shape
