OGDEN HAS CREATED PANIC
AMONG HUSBANDS AND WIVES
The Judges Decision That Men Who Stay Out Late Do MOI
Have TO Explain to Their Better Halves Is Met With the
WOmany Reot That What Is Sauce for the
Sc Is Sauce for the Gander.

II would not be improper for hus-
band 10 confide in his wife 10 such a
degree as to tell her what has de-
tanned him away from home. not for
the purpose Of satisfying her that he
has not been where he ought not TO
have been. but for the sake Of show
ing her that he holds her in his respect
and esteem. OF course. do not think
a man ought 10 be nagged. l do not
think he ought to be expected to give
up all things done by his lodge or TO
reveal all the details of his business.
I would not ask him TO do that, but
he ought, in reality. 70 do something of
that kind for propriety's sake. 1t
would be only what he would expect
from his wife.
Suppose a wife should leave her
home nightly and come back at will
or allow herself 10 be detained away
from home. and suppose her husband
was compelled 10 await her coming
and then receive no explanation OF her
delay, the husband would feel an
noyed, and rightly so, too.
The effect of this decision will be
felt especially by the wives of hus-

And that's a question, when you

that II is the law. But if It is, why
would II not do as well for the woman
as for the man? What is good for the

When one looks closely into the
matter. could the act of the husband
really be called cruelty? OF course. it
did not tend TO the peace OF mind or
contentment of the wife. Such con-
duct, IL seems to me, would cause a
wife TO feel that she did not have the
place in her husbands affections or
that she was not worthy OF the re-
spect TO which she thought she was
entitled. l am inclined TO think that

A NEW HAM HERE.
Cured in the Historic
Town of Smithtield, Va.
Story of an Old and Successful
Intelligence and Industry.

The .SmithfeId" hams, recently
placed on sale in this market, are pre-
pared in the little town OF Smithfield.
Virginia, in Isle of Wight County on
the south bank of the James river.
The place is noted in Church history.
for an ancient edifice built in 1882
with brick imported from England by
the early colonists. It was the second
Church building erected in the State.
1t was used by soldiers of both sides
in the Civil War as barracks. a mo-
nument was made several years ago
by the Episcopal Church to restore
the building and maintain it as a me-
mento of the early days.
Half a century ago, a planter living
in the town, after careful experiments,
in the delicacy of its flavor surpassed
all other hams in the market. He used
the common razor backed" hogs, but
fed them on acornS for some weeks
previous to slaughtering them. He
also reduced the fatty meat. His prep
alton of the hams was by a method
of his own. In the course of time,
these hams obtained a great reputa-
ton. Not only in the South, but in the
North, they were used by the richest
people. During the civil war, the bust
ness entirely ceased. After the close
of the war, it was resumed, but under
great difficulties. The razor backs
had been killed off during the war,
and the breed had to be restored. But
the skill and experience in the prepar-
alton of the hams remained. The fash
ionable people residing in Newport, r.
l., for some years took a large part
of the product. In Washington and
Baltimore, this special article is in de-
mand The town of Smithfield now de-
ponds largely for its prosperity upon
this industry. In other places, enter
prising men have made efforts to pro-
duce a similar article, but as rule
they have not succeeded. They have
failed to secure the precise knowledge,
and skill possessed by the Smithfield
makers. This industry illustrates the
value of intelligence and skill, which
creates monopoly in the trade.

ADAMS UNSAFE.

The San Francisco Call says: The
United States training ship Adams is
not likely to go to Samoa or any port
far away from home. She may go to
for gun practice, but the
may not even allow her to
go that far. Her spar deck beams have
opened up and other defects have
shown themselves, so the vessel is not
now considered safe for a long voyage.
The starting of the deck beams is at
tributed to the constant drilling Of 200
naval apprentices on the spar deck.

LONGFELLOW AS A PARODIST.

In the first number of the Atlantic
Monthly forty years ago, Ralph Wal
do Emerson, says the Boston Com
mercial, has a poem called ''Brahma,"
which puzzled both critics and common
readers Some said it was the greatest
poem of the century; some said it was
nonsense. The first verse ran as fol-
lows:
If the red slayer think he Stays,
Or if the slain think he is slain,
They know not we'll the subtle ways
| keep, and pass, and turn again.
That winter it happened that a rela-
tive of the poet Longfellow, living in
another State, bought sleigh, and in
a family letter to the cousins in Cam
bridge there was a wall lest the Janu-
airy thaw which had follow the pur-
chase should keep them from enjoying
the gay cutter that season. When the
letter was answered Longfellow con-
tributed this verse, which, it is said,
has never been printed before:
TO = ON THE PURCHASE OF A
SLEIGH.
If the red sleigher think he sIeighs,
Or if the sleighin think it is sleighin
They know not well the subtle ways
Of snow, that comes--and goes again.
