wives, for often. while asserting most
loudly that they are right, they are
frequently conscious that they are
wrong. Given little time and lit
tie silence they will often show in
actions-rarely in words-that they
have been mistaken. A man expects
his wife to be better than he. No mat
ter how little religion a man may have
himself his ideal wife is always
woman with the purity Of soul that
only a Christian can have; and to
good man it is usually part of his re-
ligion to believe that his wife is NOR
ally higher and nobler than himself.
Altogether. too few wives realize that
novelty and variety is as attractive to
man after marriage as before. The
same gown evening after evening.
perhaps the same coiffure year in and
year out, may not exactly pail upon
the taste of devoted husband. but he
soon ceases to look at his wife with
the same interest as heretofore. After
while she will miss the fond little
compliments that are so pleasant to
receive. and one Of the most potent of
her womanly weapons grows rusty
from disuse. A wife's position in the
estimation of her husband Is always
what she is, not what she claims to be.

The Ago of "slatterns."

Did you ever stop to think, asks an
English magazine, what luxury good,
pure complexion soap is? 1t is one
ment, and one OF the privileges, and.
we may say, attainments of civiliza-
tion. Even in the last century great
step has been taken in regard to clean
illness, and women have found out that
pure soap and water, and the free en-
ployment of them. have proved the
greatest aids to beauty. In the days
when powdered hair and the accom-
paniment of patches and powder, 1t
can only be imagined what strenuous
efforts our Observation-Disclosures

Charles Bowen, colored, who was charged
with the murder of Samuel Jones, also
colored, was yesterday released from Jail,
the proceedings against him, on the motion
of District Attorney Anderson, having
been Quashed. Bowen had been confined
in Jail nine months awaiting trial.
The offence with which Bowen was
charged was committed in September. 1898,
and was the outcome of a street fight be-
tween him and Jones. During tne fight
Bowen struck Jones on the head with the
handle bar of 4 bicycle. AS result OF
his injuries Jones was taken to the Elmer
gency Hospital fer treatment and Bowen
was arrested and charged with assault.
When Jones was able to appear in the
Police Court Bowen was tried and found
guilty and sentenced to Jail for n Ieri5d
of thirty days. Nearly a year afterward
Jones died. and his relatives claimed that
his death resulted from the injury infli tel
by Bowen. The Coroner was notified AID
Jones body was eXhumed and an in
quest held. ard Bowen was arrested on
the charge of murder. Later he was in
dicted for assault with intent to kill and
was called to trial last month. His at
torneys, King and Hughes, filed plea of
former jeopardy" on the ground that
Bowen had already been tried ard con-
victed and served his sentence for an
offence which was based en- the identical
acts and circumstances for which ii was
then asked he should again answer. The
plea was sustained by Justice Clabaugh.
who heard argument on the question.
Bowen was then held under the original
indictment charging him with murder.
Alter Investigating the matter, District
Attorney Anderson decided that the Gov
or n ms arr lie
against Bowen, and yesterday. before
Justice Clab2ugh, moved that the pro-
ceedings be nolle pressed. The motion was
granted and an order for the prisoners re-
lease was forwarded to the warden Of the
jail and Bowen was set at liberty.
