The Ideal Husband.

The man who makes the best hus-
band has a temper calculated to bear
the wear and tear of everyday life.
He does not fly into passion at tri-
fie, or vent his rage at things that no.
body on earth could have prevented. He
may show his righteous wrath on occa-
sions, and rail at persons or things that
deserve it, but he doesn't harp on the
annoyances for hours afterwards and
make everybody about him miserable.
A good proportion Of men who take to
drink do it because they have little else
to occupy their time. When a man
takes to doing nothing from choice,
look out for that man. He is pretty sure
to soon drift into bad habits. The best
of husbands is considerate; he is al
ways thoughtful regarding his wife,
performing various acts likely to min
lister to her comfort. If men had any
idea how women love to be taken care
of and looked after, they would, per
haps, exercise their own powers in that
direction a little otfener. When hus-
band comes home at night and meets
her, tired and worn with the burdens
and cares of the day, Of which he
knows nothing, kind word will cheer
and comfort her as nothing else will

Ivory from Bones.

An extensive and increasing indus
Try has recently, according to French
report, become established in France
to furnish an artificial substitute for
natural ivory in view of the growing
insufficiency Of the latter to meet the
demand of art and industry in the vari-
GUS applications. The greater number
of products formerly employed in this
line were obtained by injecting white
wood with chloride Of lime under very
strong pressure. At the Amsterdam
exhibition, however, almost all the
products which attracted so much at
tention had been prepared with the
bones of sheep and the waste pieces Of
deer and kid skin. The bones are, for
this purpose, macerated and bleached
for a period Of two weeks in chloride
of lime, then heated by steam along
with the skin, so as to form a fluid
mass, and to this latter are added some
quantities of alum. After having been
subjected to these processes, the sub
sequent treatment consists in filtering
the mass, drying it in the air and allow
ing it to harden in bath of alum, the
result being white tough plates, which
are more easily worked for various OBJ
jects than is the natural ivory.

What She Wanted.

A woman rushed into a Harlem drug
store the other day. In one hand she
carried an empty quart bottle and in
the other she tightly grasped a five
cent piece.
"Let me have five cents worth Of
ozone at once" she said to the drug
gist.
"What did you say, MADAME? the
druggist asked.
"Some ozone"
"Why, madam. there's ozone in your
bottle now"
'Sir, do not want to be insulted," :"
replied the woman Indignantly. 81
know what the doctor told me to get,
and If you don't keep it let me know.
Have you got any ozone or notY'
"Well," said the druggist very delib-
erately, ozone is an element in the air
we breathe, and unless the air in your
bottle has become contaminated it has
about as high a percentage of it as any
l have in the store. l would suggest
that possibly your physician meant
that you should get some benzoin"
"Oh, yes" hastily replied the woman.
! ''that's it. l knew it was something
like ozone"
She took the five cents worth of ben
Zoin, which was almost lost sight of on
account of the ozone which still remain
ed in the quart bottle.

Kipling has written a story Of the
South African war which he puts into
the mouth Of Sikh.
There will be issued In London vol
ume containing extracts from the late
Emperor Frederick's diary relating to
the campaign of 1866, his journey to
the east in 1869, the war with France in
1870 and 1871, and his journey to Spain
in 1888. The work is edited by Nine.

The Menasha (Wis.) Evening Breeze
contained the following notice Of the
death of the original Of Mr.. Dooley:
"Lovers of the humorous and original
writings of James McGarry, better
known to the world as 'Dooley,' will
mourn the loss Of a man who, by his
own peculiar gift, has ascended from
an humble, unknown saloon-keeper to
worlds famous author. 1t is said
that many of the most humorous of his
writing were produced while bolstered
up in bed and in great bodily pain"
The London Athenaeum describes
Maurice Hewlett, now that Stevenson
is dead, as the prince of literary story
teIlers. There are two points involved,
it says. One is that with Mr.. Hewlett
the primary interest is that Of the story
itself, and not, as with the most consid-
cradle Of contemporary novelists, some
issue of psychological analysis or phil
osophic idea which the story is mere
ly designed to illustrate. His aim and
his triumph is to rivet the attention to
a succession Of events, to launch it upon
that swinging voyage among ebbing and
| flowing emotions which-and not, of
course, the bare succession Of events
is the proper end of narrative art.
Here are a few epigrams taken from
Gustave Vapereau, the French author
of Dictionary of Contemporaries:
Women have way of saying all and
telling nothing; of saying nothing and
telling all.
| A woman wishes to find in the man
she loves superiority of some kind
even in evil.
Women love us for our talents, and
adore us for our faults.
A woman's success is not complete
unless she has found some one who
makes her suffer.
Nature has declared a prime Unequal
ity between man and woman-she is
enchained by what she bestows; he is
unclaimed by what he receives.
Wit throws out sparks, genius gives
sunshine.
There are little nothings which are
everything; they confer elegance OF
carriage, originality upon style, per
fection upon work.
Nothing makes one doubt Immortality
more than the frivolity of thought
among the majority of mankind
Life is a river which depends less
upon its source than unon ifs aff1uents

handed all six to prominent analyst.

THERE'S A LOT IN A NAME.

Especially When It's Applied to q
Drama-Case of Shore Acres.
"When Shakespeare asked the ques-
tien What's in a nameY he little knew
that in after years theatrical managers
almost without exception would dis
cover by experience that there's a great
deal in theatrical entertainment.
'Take, for instance, the most sue
cessful of the late James A. Herne's
plays, Shore Acres Why, the name
of that play was changed twice before
it became success.
"When Mr.. Herne presented a piece
called The Hawthorne at the Grand
Opera House in Chicago in 1895 it was
not an instantaneous success. AS q
matter Of fact Herne had not produced
a real substantial success in some
years previous to that time, although
The Minute Men, Margaret Fleming
and Drifting Apart had met with fav-
orable attention in many cities.
'There didn't seem to be any draw
ing power in the name The HaW-
thornes,' and the title of the piece was
changed to Shore Acres Subdivision
The change didn't seem to have any ef-
feet upon the attendance while the
piece remained on view in Chicago, at
any rate, and it was decided to make
another shift in title before the play
was presented in Boston. In that city,
under the name of Shore Acres Mr..
Herne's play made the greatest hit OF
the year. 1t came back to Chicago and
was accepted at the value placed on the
play in Boston and New York.
"'Hearts of Oak which has always
been credited jointly to James A.
Herne and David Belasco, was orig
inally presented under the title of The
Mariners Compass Hearts of Oak
was not presented in this country until
1878, at Hamlin's Theater in Chicago,
but the play called The Mariners s
Compass which was tried in England
several years before without attracting
any great amount of attention, had all
of the scenes and incidents which made
Hearts of Oak one of the greatest
drawing cards among the tear-compell-
ing dramas of the past two decades.

Military BICYCLES.

Both the bicycle and automobile are
meeting with favor from the army au-
thorities in Europe. The bicycle has
ceased to be considered purely as a
means of locomotion for pleasure, and
is now regarded as an efficient mount
for soldiers. For scouting and the con-
veyance Of dispatches, the bicycle is
without a rival, being noiseless, occu-
pying small space and affording a very
Insignificant target to the rife fire of
the foe. It is reliable, and a bicycle
company or division is very mobile.
The wheel also affords the enormous
advantage over the horse in that it re-
quires no forage supplies.

Snow Fireplaces.

Sixty degrees below zero is the
frightfu1ly cold atmosphere in which
Alaskan gold hunters must often work.
They make fireplaces of snow in that
desolate region. The snow is pressed
into blocks like bricks and a fireplace
two or three feet square is built with
them. When the fire Is lighted the
snow, of course, melts on the surface;
but when the fire is out this freezes SO
hard that the next fire causes it to be-
come only damp. A snow fireplace used
only for cooking purposes will last for
an entire winter.

Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood fo,
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap.
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma.
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
