"Now it is most assuredly womans province to manage her husband and make the best of the man and the marriage ordained for her by the fates presiding over these matters. That Is is what she was mainly created for, though often she does not know it.
 After all 1t is such a clumsy, in- artistic proceeding to take part in turning out the ill-assorted, bicering marriages of which there are far too many examples nowadays. It Is such miserable confession of failure on the very threshold of life for wo- man to admit that she cannot get on with her husband If young man engaged in business falls into bank ruptcy court his friends may be sorry for him. but there is invariably flaw or of contempt mixed with their pity In the greater number of cases the failure has resulted from neglect of work or lack of common sense. He is bad manager.
 How many women will admit that their married lives are failure on the threshold of life? They will hardly ad- init it after twenty-five years of mar ried life" said a man who knew some thing of divorce courts, and then
 He was interrupted by the other man, who read on
 NOW, II IS d WOLldH SPcSidi DuSi- ness to make her marriage a success. Of course, in marriage, as in com merce, there must always be a small percentage of absolutely unavoidable failures allowed for. But in nine cases out of ten marriages would turn out comfortably and happily enough if their respective partners invested as much energy and interest in the mar sriage business as they put into the af- fairs of a literary or country club. Many modern women strive to become golf or tennis champions. Why are no wife championships opened up to competition?"
 That" he said, lis the whole thing in a nut she'll" After a woman gets mar she decides that there is no trouble to keep him and what with her clubs and other amusements which take up all hei time she never gives her husband any oi the little attentions that he naturally ex- pected when they were anticipating the future years. The man kicks and won ders who is to blame for all the unhappi- ness, and nine times out of ten he Is will ing to put the blame on his own shoulders Of course, 1t is as much his duty to make his marriage successful as it Is the woman's, but if she is not willing to CO., operate with him it is impossible for him to do 1t all. It Is very much after all what the writer says, and he read on:
 "The responsibility of making or marring a marriage rests almost en- tirely with the feminine partner. A man devotes eight or ten daily hours to office or shop, for 1t is his end of the business to keep things at home going his province, pleasing or otherwise to pay the bills. The wifes end of the business Is to manage him and make the home happy and f1ourishing. She ought to put as much energy and vested capital into her department as the man exercises In his business. Un- less she is prepared to do this, the woman partner in the matrimonial firm is not playing fair. The divi-

husband and wife into closer relationship and a clearer understanding. The most selfish man, surely, would not want his wife to give up all other interests and above everything man would detest a wife who boasted that he'managed him, this article pleads for competi- tion in wife championship. The married woman who Is the greatest success man ages her husband without letting him know it"
 The man continued reading:
 Some women back the babies too heavily and have nothing left to in vest in the man of the house. Others devote too much time and funds to dusting and spring cleaning and take too little stock in the husband and too many office hours or hours when they ought to be in the household ex- change, in social pleasure or outside interests. strict attention to home busness,' on the part of a woman usu- ally results in a happy household un- less she makes the fatal mistake of managing every other branch in the home except the man. There are two motives In managing man. One is to manage him to one's own selfish ends, the other Is to use tact and dis cretion to the end of making a better
 
 "Cynics say that women never learn by experience. Anyway most of us know wives who, out of pure cus- sedness, continued day in, day out, for a quarter of a century, the one practice that they know will exasper- ate the partner of their joys and sor- rows to the point of homicide. A boy of 15 killed his sister with a hatchet. Arrested immediately after the deed, he said in extenuation, she wouldn't be lying there if she hadn't nagged' Which Is philosophy of the manage ment of a man in a nutshell"
 Some men are so eXasperating," de- clared a woman, that where a wo nan is business-like, practical and full of energy she simply cannot sit idly by and realize that things are going to destruction. al because the man of the family is too lazy and indifferent to look after them. If, al ter she reminds him day after day of cer- tain little things that ought to be attended to and he continues to neglect them, wha, if she does nag him? He deserves worse than that, admit that there are women who never know where to stop when once they begin the 'nagging' process
 But the man went on:
 People rarely quarrel over the large and important issues of life, but they will fight to the death about the things that don't matter. Sensible, rational couples with grown-up fami lies, have bickered since the first week of their marriage over some trifiing detail that they would laugh to scorn if they heard the people next door Quarreling about 1t.

 "The conflicting branches" interrupted a woman, really form the basis of mar ried happiness. By these, l mean the many interests of the home, which should be the common interests between a nus band and wife. Now, l hold that woman should know enough of the bushes af- fairs of the husband to be able to advise him or encourage or sympathize with him if investments do not pan out as he ex- pected. And, on the other hand, a man should feel a keen interest in all that his wife does; and while her province Is es- sentially that of the home, she feels the need of his cooperation and approval, and the so-called "confiicting interests If viewed properly, assist in bringing the

The Sphinx Annual.

The young women of the Birmingham Seminary, like those at Vassar and other women's Colleges, have literary ambitions and have issued an Annual, this under the title of the Sphinx" and being one of the cleverest college annuals of the year. It's success is something to be proud of when one considers that 1t Is the first literary attempt of the seminary girls, and it is to the senior class of '91 that the initial step is due.
 The Sphinx makes it first appearance be- tween two outside covers of white, tied with the seminary colors, white and green On the outside cover appears a silhouette of She Sphinx and the words: Sphinx: Birmingham Seminary, 1901," while inside Is the following greeting:

TIE Horse Pox.

1t turns out that the disease a
mong horses, which we mentioned
last week is more serious than
was thought to be at the time.
The disease has been spreading
and a number OF horses have died.
The Board Of Health met Un Tues
day, and appointed DR. w. r.
Williams TO investigate the disease
and report. Dr.. Williams was seen
aud SAID that from scabs shown
him, which had been taken from
infected horses, the disease closely
resembles what is known as
"hOrse poX," disease which is both
contagious and infectious, and
therefore serious and dang arOus.
The disease is communicable from
horses to human beings even with
out coming into direct contact.
DIR. Williams has sent specimens
of the scab to the authorities IA
Richmond for analysis and their
opinion as 20 the positive nature
of the disease. All infected horses
should be quarantined strictly so
as to prevent a spread of the
disease.

All doctors have tried to cure CA

has for many years made a close study
and speciality of the Treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected a
