A Sensible Woman.

A party Of married men we're talking
about their wives, and it is worthy OF
note that every man was glad he had q
wife and was anxious to tell OF her good
points.
Il never heard my wife swear but
once" said one Of them when there
seemed to be lull in the praise-meet.
ing.
All the others looked shocked. IL any
OF them had ever heard their wives
swear, they were not telling it. and they
resented the franknees Of the one man
who was apparently betraying family
secrets But the man did not regard
the bad impression he bad created.
And that" he continued in the same
tone, was way back yonder. thirty or
more years ago. when the oil excitement

then, and thousand dollars represented
the bulk of my capital. l had been
married five years. and my wife was the
very best investment l had ever made.
One day l received word that oil had
been struck on the farm adjoining mine.
and right away l proceeded to go crazy,
just as everybody else did when oil
showed up anywhere in their neighbor-
hood. My wife showed signs too. but
she kept her wits about her. Inside of
a week l began to get offers for my
farm, and l got crazier every time there
came an offer higher than the one before
it. 1t went up like balloon at first.
until the figures got away up, and then
the small bidders dropped out. At last
an offer Of a hundred thousand dollars
came from the representative of COM
pany that l knew was worth two or
three Millions

ROBERT BROWNING.

People literarily inclined will find, in
the first OF the Westminster Biogra-
phies," the Life Of Robert Browning"
by Arthur Waugh, a charmingly per-
spicuous bit of writing. The book is q
clear exposition Of the poets exception
ally sincere. strenuous, purposeful
career. 1t shows Browning as q man
who found poetry not inconsistent with
the interests Of an of the world. He
was poet in whom there was none Of
the traditional madness. Even the ideal
and idyllic love the poet bore his wife,
in their perfect marriage, was eminent
ly sane. Mr.. Waugh shows the steadi-
ness OF Browning's growth in art. He
explains, too. the Browning method Of
interpreting life by analysis Of emotions,
in which field Browning is second only
to Shakespeare. The poets message is
likewise clearly explained as one urging
the salvatory influence of simply doing
one best by the best light sttsinable.
Browning believed essentially that the
duty Of man was to perfect himself az
far as possible here. and that the effort
would be rewarded somewhere, some
how, in the hereafter. Browning is
shown as being, in the highest sense,
modern, and withsl a man deeply and
widely learned and sympathetic, though
revealing his sympathy in detachment
of himself from the characters he inter
preted. Browning took himself serious
ly enough, but never too seriously. He
worked, but he always enjoyed himself.
He was strong in his opinions, but he
allowed his wife often to influence him.
The worlds slownees in recognizing him
never caused him to complain. and
when fame came, the Browning Club
fad simply filed him with a humorous
dread. Mr.. Waugh's little biography
is marked by an enthusiasm we'll re-
strained. and by quality Of criticism
which is sound, because il sets up no
foolish, arbitrary standard, but accepts
the MAJ and his work as they were and
are. 1t can do no one aught but good
to read Mr.. Waugh upon Browning.
and especially his defense to the charge
that Browning did not reflect the pass
ing interest Of his day. did not sing, as
does Mr.. Kipling, the topical things
about him. Browning. says Mr.. Waugh,
was concerned not with the petty ephem.
eral interests Of blood or party. bdt with
the broad interests Of humanity. with
the probleme which, in reform or an
other, confronts every man of every civ
ilized race. He did not believe in fail
ure. Failure counted, in his opinion,
towards success in the end; to "other
heights in other lives, God willing"
Persons who have been confused by in
terpretations of Browning-and few Of
us have not-will find Mr.Waugh's little
work a common sense corrective of
much Of the cryptic criticism which has
gathered about the poets work as re-

Beda.

We cannot tell with any certainty
when the first portable furniture was
invented, and, to judge by the ark as
1t survives among our children, Noah
was either ignorant of such things or.
and more probably, Denied himself
their use for the time being in order
TO leave more room for the animals.
But long before Cowper somewhat
alphabetically sang the sofa Homer
was proud to enumerate the cherished
and decorated pieces of furniture in
the tents of the heroes before Troy
and described Odysseus' pleasure in
seeing once more his own beautiful
bed as sympathetically as any other
incident of the return, while that he

Tales Of the Nose.

1ndented nostrils evidence meanness,
wide nostrils a srendthrift. A. tin 1ut-
ting out far from the face is a token of
vulgarity, refinement being the pos
session of the owners bf noses that do
not stand out far at the end. An aaui-
line bend denotes tirmness of will and
sense Of justice; the long, narrow
bridge proclaims a fastidious, self suf-
hc1ent yet often tender nature. All the
active qualities-comb ativeness, eager
ness, passionate temper, power of ha-
tired, Jealousy, ambition-go with the
more common type Of Roman nose.
The Greek form, on the contrary, tells
OF artistic capabilities and love of in
animate beauty. -
