AN ENGLisHMAN's WIFE.
She Is Really Her Husband's business
Partner and Acts IL.

IaEAher ana ActH II
an England" says Ainslee's Maga-
zine, "a mans wife is I'm reality his
partner, and whether or not the two
are in harmony with each other in af-
fection In all material things they rec
ognize that their fortunes are irrevoca-
bly, bound together that the interests
Of both are quite identical and that
each has Just as strong n motive for
making things go well as has the other,
since they share equally the labor and
the reward therefrom. They may have
their private disagreements, but they
front the world together. The wife
takes the keenest interest in the most
minute details of everything that af-
fects her husbands welfare. She
knows his income TO a penny. She
manages her household as a chancellor
Of the exchequer manages the nations
outlay, so that the annual budget shall
not only avoid deficit and shall accu-
rately balance, but so that 1t shall
show a surplus She will practice a
rigid economy If necessary. and in do
ing so she will feel that she is merely
carrying out her share of the marriage
contract. 1t is the mans part to make
money; It is her part to help him save
it. She plans nothing for herself apart
from him. She cannot think Of him as
in anything apart from her. If he is
in political life, she enters into his am
billions with intelligence and zeal. She
will write his letters for him and en-
tertain his constituents. She will study
the bluebool1s and teach herself to un-
derstand the public questions with
which he has to deal, so that she may
discuss them with him and follow his
career intelligently. She belongs to
him, in fact, as he belongs to her.
There is not much display Of sentiment
in an English household after the first
year of married life has ended, but
there is the bond of n common interest
which grows stronger every day and
every year and which gives to man
and wife a unity Of purpose and Of
feeling that will beyond comparison
outlast the cobweb tissues of emotion

Though it is possible that cases OF

fortunately they are more rare than in
former times Even the doctors orders
against interment were not always
obeyed. for the Gentleman's Magazine
Of 1851 relates the case Of Richard
Carson Of Hay, Herefordshire, Eng
land, who was supposed to have died,
but a doctor declared that Carson still
lived and ordered that he was not to be
buried. His relatives paid no heed to
the injunction, and the body was COM
mitted to the grave next day. A per
son passing through the churchyard
heard a noise and prevailed on the

The most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt, but at the present
time the salt springs which surround
it are adding fast to the thickness Of
the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation Of
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
of time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered.
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi which low

salt crust was so thick. however, that
it retained its old level and now pre-

rooted lake. The salt coat increases
