WIVES OF LONG AGO.
Extracts from Rules for Their Gov.
eminent Published in
1919


from set of ''Rules to Be Observed
by Wives" printed in a number of
the London Ladies' Magazine of 1919.
They are comprehensive and deal
with almost every emergency possible
in married life:
when young gentleman makes
you an offer to hold yourself flattered
by his preference and proportionate-
ly grateful.
eff you accept him (Which we will
suppose, of course), study his temper
and inclinations that you may better
accommodate your own to them.
after marriage obey him cheer
fully, even though you think him in
error; it is better that he should do
wrong in what he commands than
that you should do wrong in object
ing to it.
IF he fatters you do not forget
that it is but flattery; think lowly of
yourself and highly of him, or at
least make him believe so.
"Bear in mind continually that you
are weak and dependent, and even if
you are beautiful that it adds to
your weakness and dependence.
''If you displease him be the first
to conciliate and to amend! there
is no degradation in seeking peace
or in showing that you love your hus-
band better than your Triumph.
when you rise in the morning re-
solve to be cheerful for the day; let
your smiles dispel his frowns.
"Endeavor to save rather than to
spend your husbands money; if his
fortune be large, strive to preserve
1t; IL small, to increase it.
"Be not importunate or obtrusive
in your fondness and choose proper
occasions for your caresses, lest they
prove wearisome.
"Your sex is most exposed to suf-
fering, because it is always in de-
pendence; be neither angry nor
ashamed of this dependence on hus-
band nor of any of those which are
in the proper order of Providence.
"Finally, recollect always that God
has made you subject to him and that
he is your natural guardian and pro-
teetor; that you owe your husband
not less honor than love and not less
love than obedience"
In harmony with these "Rules to Be
Observed by Wives" are the terms of

wives, mothers and sisters, even in
the hours they devote to intellectual
recreation, from their proper sphere
and circle at home? WHAT becomes,
then, of the domestic duties and the
endearing ties which bind our rough

by the animated smiles of the beings
which welcome us there than even

WHEN BABY is SICK.
valuable Hints for Young Mothers
Who Have No Experience in the
Rearing of Children.

A baby's cry should be to the intelli-
gent mother the best index to its phy-
steal condition. The healthy baby
cries very loudly and in lusty. ex-
plosive, angry manner, and the tears
flow freely. The sick baby, or the one
on the verge OF sickness, cries peev-
ishly or whines in low tone.
Watch the manner in which the
baby takes its food. If it is perfectly
well it will attack the bottle greedily
and will express its satisfaction much
in the same manner as any other
young sucking animal-that is, by
soft and inarticulate noises or grunts.
Ii, on the other hand, the baby con-
templates its food before touching it,
or after tasting turns from it, be sure
there is something wrong.
Watch the baby closely while it
sleeps. If it is in perfect health the
skin will be moist, the lips damp and
scarlet, the palms Of the hands and
the soles of the feet pink. The eyelids
will be completely closed and there
will be no twitching of the muscles
about the mouth or nose or ewes.
Save for faint rhythmic sound of
breathing the healthy baby when
asleep will be as still as piece of
carved marble.
If the baby smiles in its sleep, if it
throws out its little hands and feet
with swift, spasmodic motions; if the
eyes are only half closed, the corners
of the mouth drawn down, the breath
ing irregular or labored. the face
flushed and the head hot, then lose no
time in calling in the family physi-
cian.-St. Louis Republic.

fixed to this number of the Casket
contains correct profile ikenesses of
Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, Maria
Louise, his consort, and the king of
Rome, his son. Their location on the
plate we leave to the ingenuity of the
reader to discover
'Bonaparte, it is well known, was a
man who placed great faith in omens
and predictions. One of the most re-
markable of his own predictions, and
which was completely verified, he
made to a portion of his confidential
adherents on quitting France to take
up his abode in the island of Elba-
it was, that he would return to
France and again place himself at the
head of the government, in the violet
season. In short time all of his
partisans were distinguished by some
badge of violet color, such as rings,
with the following motto: Ellie re-
paraitra an printerus!' lit will ap-
pear again in the spring.; violet
watch ribbons, etc. The partisans of
Napoleon generally carried about
their persons one of the violet prints,
which were freely circulated in France
without exciting the least suspicion
among the Bourbons.
"The manner in which the friends
of Napoleon recognized an adherent
to his cause was by asking the ques-
tion: 'Aimez vous la violette?' do
you like the violet?) If the answer
returned was 'Oui" (yes), the person
was discovered not to be a confeder-
ate; but if he anewered Eth bien'
(welD, he was acknowledged to- be
one of their party, and the questioner
completed the sentence: Ellie repair
aitra an printerus.' Bonaparte was
toasted by the name of General or
Corporal Violet among his adherents
from the time of his quitting France
until his return"

Keeping the cellar sweet.

When cellars become musty or foul
odors are noticed, the best thing 10 do
is to close all the doors and windows
and burn enough sulphur to fill the
cellar room with dense fumes. Leave it
closed for an hour or two, and then
open the doors and windows. Newt
whitewash the walls and ceiling with
two coats of good whitewash. Sulphur
gas is heavy and settles; hence care
must be used to agitate the air in the
cellar by selecting 4 windy day for the
work. Sulphur fumes will destroy all
kinds of germs.

Payta, Peru, about five degrees south
of the equator, has the reputation of
being the driest spot on the globe. On
an average shower of rain occurs at
Payta, only once in two years. But the
interval between showers is often much
longer. Yet in that arid climate seven
species of annual plants manage to
exist, and the natives earn a livelihood
by growing a species of cotton, Whose
long roots find moisture In the bed of q
dried up river. This cotton is readily

Two New Equity Suits.

A suit in equity was begun yester-
day by Attorney II. A. Zimmerman
for C.. +. Brisbin to compel E. r.
Craven and the Imperial Underwear
company to transfer to the plaintiff
81. 800 worth of the company's stock
which is credited on the books to Mr..
Craven.
The plaintiff AYERS that in January.
1899. he and John Bailey formed a CO.
partnership under the name of Brisbin
& Company to manufacture underwear.
Mr.. Craven was engaged as general
manager and was continued In the
position until December of that year,
when the business was sold out to
Runyon & Company. a partnership
composed of W. D. Runyon and c. r.
Brisbn.
Mr.. Brisbin had a one fourth inter-
est in the new firm. BY agreement
Mr. Craven was to represent him in
the firm. In November. 1900. Runyon
e. Company sold out to the Imperial
Underwear Company. Mr.. Craven act
ing in the deal for Mr.. Brisbin.
The one-fourth interest held by Mr..
Brisbn in the Runyon & Company
firm was inventoried at $4,000. and
StOCk 10 tnlS amount was CFeultcu lot
his interest when the transfer of the
business took place. Instead OF hay
ing the stock credited to Mr.. Brisbin.
it is alleged Mr.. Craven took it in
his own name and secured possession
of the certificate. Now Mr.. Brisbin is
seeking to have the court compel the
company to credit the stock to R1n
and make Mr.. Craven give over the
certificate.
Another equity suit. instituted also
by Mr.. Zimmerman, has John Noll for
plaintiff. and William Noll. Franz Noll,
John Gehrens. guardian, and Annie
Noll as defendants.
All the parties are children or grand
children of John Joseph Noll. who
died Dec. 20. 1896. leaving a property
on Beech street to his wife to be di-
vided among his children or their
heirs after her death. The widow died
and now the plaintiff. one of the sons,
whose share was to be $780, sues to
compel the others to make partition.

The OPENING RITES.
Services Conducted in the syna-
gogues Last Night-Con6rma-
tion Takes Place Today.

The opening services of ''Shvuoth,''
the spring holiday observed the world
over by the Hebrews in commemora-
ton of the gift to the Jewish race of
the Ten Commandments, We're begun
last night in the synagogues of the
city. Rev. A. S. Anspacher was in
charge of the services at the Linden
street temple, and preached an excel
lent sermon dealing With the signifi-
cance of the festival.
The temple was appropriately decor
ated with palms, ferns and potted
plants in honor of the occasion and
presented very ornate appearance. In
his sermon Rev. Anspacher narrated a
legend symbolic of the presentation of
the commandments from Mt. Sinai,
and told how the Deity in return for
the gift of the great tablets asked the
recipients to give Him their children.
This exchange is made each year by
conducting the solemn rites of confir-
nation, at which the boys and girls
over thirteen years of age are cate
chized before the congregation regard
ing the precepts of the Jewish religion,
The confirmation exercises will be con-
Quoted in the synagogue this morning.

In the damage case OF Charles
levin against the executors of the
Pauli estate. the jury after less than
half an hours delibcration, returned
a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
Of sl,500.
Mr.. levin sued for personal injur-
les sustained by tripping over broken
board in the stairway leading to his
tailor shop on the second Moor of the
Paul. building 22T Lackawanna ave-
nuc.
The defense was that Levin was
also tenant of the stairway and as the
lease provided that the tenant should
keep the leased premises in repair, the
landlord could not he held liable for
the accident.
Mr. Burns endeavored to have Judge
Carpenter grant a non-suit on the
strength of this. hut the arguments
of Mr.. Levy and Mr.. Horn convinced
the court that the contention OF the
defense was not good law.

TICKETS FOR THE BALL.
Committee Met Yesterday and Made
Arrangements to Issue Them.


The ticket committee of the Thir-
teenth regiment armory opening and
military ball. held IA meeting in the
office of Chairman d. Il. Atherton
yesterday afternoon to complete ar
rangements for issuing the tickets to
prospective purchasers desiring to at
tend the ball
John M. McCourt, press agent of tho
executive committee, was elected Sec
retary of the ticket committed. and
directed to arrange with the banks
of this portion of the state 10 have
tickets placed OH sale in those insti-
tutions. The danger to be met with
from persons counterfeiting the ad-
mission ticket was discussed AT length
and plans decided upon which win
probably cause such a practice to re-
suit disastrously.'
Interest in the ball is now at such
a height in this section of the state
that it is thought canyasshg will
not be necessary to sell the two thous-
and tickets to be disposed of in this
section. When the time for the ball
draws nearer at hand and the public
realizes more clearly what Il gigantic
affair 1t is going to be and what il
lustrious personages will form the
center of the brilliant throng, the
committee confidently believes the de-
mand for tickets will be greater than
can be supplied,
Owing to the high value of the
tickets, they Will be put on sale only
in a few places. The tickets will be
on sale in all the banks of the city,
Hotel Jermyn and the offices of the
members of the ticket committee.
Captain Atherton, chairman of the
committee, was authorized To so to
Philadelphia and arrange for the tick
cts of the fair women and brave men
who have already signilied their in
tention of being present at the mill
tary ball.
