was paining her, but broke down and
burst into tears.
His face was flushed and he answered
her impatiently:
Nonsense, Addy; don't act like
baby; you must remember that you
are woman. You oughtn't to expect
man to stick in the house all the
time"
1t wasn't so much what he said, but
the tone in which he said it, that hurt
her and made her sob silently until she
fell asleep.
There was something restrained and
shamc-faced in his manner as he kissed
her goodbye the next morning and
went down-town, but in the evening he
returned early and after dinner he did
not go out. He was restless and ner-
vous, and didn't seem to be reading
the paper which he held up before
him. Between husband and wife there
was an embarrassing silence. There
seemed to be no common theme for
them to talk about. They retired early,
and again Adeaide's pillow was wet
with tears.
Her heart was overfull and she want
ed sympathy and counsel. To whom
should she turn? Would not her father
tell her that she was foolish? Would,
not her mother be angry and blame
Ned? Would not Nell pity her? No,
she could go to none of these. Then
suddenly she thought of Mrs. Chatter
ton. She understood Ned. She loved
him. Would she not also understand
the situation and be able to advise her?
When she had gained courage enough
she went down to her motherinlaw's
and sobbed out the whole story to her.
The old lady took her in her arms as
she would have taken tired child.
"You poor little girl" said she, "Ned
has been very bad to you and you didn't
know how to manage him; how should
you? But be patient; we shall bring
the young man around all right" Mrs.
Chatterton bent down and kissed the
girl, who lay sobbing in her arms, and
hope sprung up in the young wife's
heart.
II was a matter of some doubt
whether Ned was most pleased or sur
prised when. on the following night,
Adelaide said to him:
Would you mind going to the club
tonight, Ned? Mother and / are going
out for a little while and / am afraid
you will be lonesome
Certainly not" he replied, "but l

many friends grew solicitous in warn
ing her as to the course she should
pursue in regard to her future mother
in-law.
"When mother had always had such
complete ascendency over u son it was
always hard matter to make her rec
ognize wife's right, and if this was
to be done positive measures must be
employed from the first" So her
friends said, and her own mother gave
her some good advice in the same line,
while her sister Nell deplored the ne
cessity of havin. mother-in-law and
reviewed all the traditions in regard
to those very undesirable personages
With so much instruction Adelaide
became also imbued with very positive
notions on the subject. OF course he
was an only son and his mother n wild
ow. but she could never consent to live
in the same house with the elder wom-
an. If all was to go well she must be
gin right. OF course Ned loved his
mother, but matrimony would put him
under new obligations At her first op-
portunity she explained it all to him
and insisted that they should keep a
separate establishment.
Ned looked panied. But he said:
Il shall do as YOU say in the matter,
adelaide, though had leaked forward
to very happy omIasniopship between
YOU and my little mother. She is not
hard to get along with, know. and she
could have helped you so much with her

affairs
But Adelaide showed him how L.
mother-in-law, by her very love and
preference for her son, might cause dis
sension between husband and wife.
Perhaps he was not convinced, but
he yielded. the point and they were
married. All of Adelaide's friends con-
graduated her upon her good sense,
and behind his back praised Ned for
his consideration in sparing his wife
the presence of a motherin-law. But
he gave himself the satisfaction of set
ting up housekeeping within a block
of the mother he loved.
Sometimes ut night, when he and
Adelaide sat alone by the fire, he
thought of his mother and wished that
she might be with them, but on the
whole they were happy and no morbid
thoughts entered his brain. for he be-
lieved that in time Adelaide's own good
sense would triumph over the preju-
diccs aroused by ofiicious friends. But
this was his mother wisdom.
There were times when the elder
Mrs. Chatterton wcpt little that she
was denied the daily vision of her sons

tears to herself. Ned was very faith
full and dutiful, but she did not go
often to his house. because her pres
ence always seemed to put adelaide in
mood of defense. almost bordering
on aggression. The young woman
meant it to be understood. and plainly
understood, that she would tolerate the
interference in her affairs of no
mother-in-law.
In the first glow of connubial JOY
Ned had neglected his club. but as time
went on and the household began to
move in the accustomed routine he be
gan occasionally to drop in and spend
a social hour with his man friends. At
first il was but once in two or three
weeks and only an hour or two then.
Then he went more frennep''y and
stayed later.
Some evenings Adelaide was very

A Fish With Teeth on His Tongue.

The biggest of fresh.water fishes, the
arapaima" of the Amazon, in South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, has teeth on its tongue, SC
that the latter resembles the file and
is used as such. Some kinds Of trout
also have the same popularity
Fishes that swallow their prey entire
have their teeth 80 supported on flex.
ible bases as to bend backward, but
not forward, in order that their vic.
Tins shall not escape after they have
been once seized. In ages gone by,
there were ierocious sharks, such as
would make a mouthful of you with
out blinking, 70 feet in length.
Plenty of their teeth have been
found which are five inches long
whereas the biggest of the teeth be-
longing to sharks that exist at the
present day are II inches long
Speaking of extinct creatures reminds
us to say that all of the early birds
those of early geological times, that is
had teeth, with which they captured
the early worms of the same period
Being descendant from reptiles, it is
natural that they should possess a
dental equipment, but when they
ceased to be carnivorous they had nc
teeth any longer.

He Got the Wrong Foot.

just across from the bachelors berth
was a handsome little woman and
her three-year.old boy. Early in the
morning the two we're laughing and
playing together, and the good-natured
bachelor smiled to himself as he rose
to dress. Suddenly little foot peeped
out from the curtains of the opposite
berth, and with a twinkle in his eye
the bachelor grabbed the plump toe
and began: "This little pig went te

woman. The silence which followed
could be heard above the roar of thu

love all-sufficient, that love alone cannot
be the foundation of the home. 1t needs
health. Strange as it may seem the
beautiful loving woman who is weak
may lose the love of the husband for
whom she broke all home ties, while on
the other hand a woman who has no
greater dover than robust health may
win and hold the love of her husband
past all possibility of loss. The first re-
Quisite of marriage is health The wife's
first necessity is health. Health must
be the mothers or she will know no

Whatcom j., the controversy waged
concerning Mount Bakers name
would probably have had as its subject
the true title for Mount Baker, accord
ing to George Q. Smith, OF the United
States geological survey. On the old
government maps OF this section Of
the country at Washington, u. c., Mr..
Smith has discovered the word Ia
homa' is given below Mount Bakers
name, and the same is the case with
Mount Rainier. In his opinion this
would signify that the word meant
high mountain" or "the mountain"
and was applied by the natives OF a
certain locality to the highest peak in
their vicinity.
"These old maps which are more or
less imperfect, were made prior to the
civil war;" said Mr.. Smith ut the Raj
nief.Grand hotel "The fact that the
word was attached to both the noun
tains would indicate that it was a
common term for a mountain, lust as
We speak of place as "the noun
tain" So if Tacoma had been at
Whatcom, the dispute would most
probably have been about Mount
Baker. 1t also shows that the board
of geographic names had good reasons
for retaining the name of Mount Raj

veyors over strip of country at least
ten miles wide, from the OkanOgan
river westward to Puget Sound. They
will examine the geological conditions
of the section traversed. Speaking of
the reports which have been recently
issued by the department and those
which are now in press concerning the
resources OF the State, he said:
"The report of J. E. Spur, who last
year surveyed the Monte Christie dis
trict, is now in the press, and will be
of much value to mining men. 1t
aims to determine the real growth of
the district, and is very complete.
az have also q report on the coal
fields of the Pacific coast, dealing
more especially with those Of WASH
ington, which is the principal coal
State on the Pacific. This report is
part of a comprehensive one which
deals with the resources in this line of
the whole country-from a CONNER
cial standpoint. The industry is one
of the richest in this State, and Of
more Importance than is at present
realized. The report will he of value

ated with us in the work to q large
