The Honey Bird.

A great many years ago people used
to drink sweet water called mead
that was made of honey.
We never hear about mead in these
days, when SO many different sorts
of wines are brought to us from other
countries. But in olden times mead
was held in very high esteem; and
the person who made it, and who
was called "the mead maker" was
thought TO be of more Importance
than the doctor, Queen Elizabeth

Washing In the Orient.

The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on a
fiat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes and some
of them have quite a luster. The
Japanese woman does her washing
out of doors. Her wash tub is not
more than six inches high. The hard
est-worked washerwomen in the world
are the Coreans. They have to wash
about a dozen dresses for their hus.
bands and they have plenty to do.
The washing is usually done in cold
water and often in running streams.
The clothes are pounded with paddles
until they shine like a shirt front
fresh from laundry.

The admission of Arizona and New Mexico as states into the union is receiving attention all over the country, and now and then we find a writer or speaker, who is either so prcludlced or wilfully ignorant, says the Phoe- nix Gazette, that they will make mis-statements, distort to facts, and go out of their way to malaign the people of these two territories. They just tell enough of the truth to make their re- marks have some weight to those who are unacquainted with the facts, but to those who are fami- liar with the country and the people, it is only disgusting, That such ignorance and predu- dice could exhist in the "enlight- ened" east around which and for whom customers imagine the world revolves, is beyond the broad-minded thinking popula- tion west of the Mississippi.

time, and it was to be in the evening,
and two days before the event was to
come off Arson went up to the ceme-
terry and made sure that Caleb was
"at home" and likely to remain there.
He reckoned without his host and
only with a tombstone, however. The
widow was dressed for the marriage
and the minister on his way to the
house when Caleb Jones returned for
the second time and calmly all
r1ounced:
"Well, Mary, I've got to disap-
point you and Anson again, and I'm
feeling mighty mean about it,
He had gone into the river, sure
enough, but beam had foated him
for twenty miles before he was pick
ed up by steamboat. The steamer
was going down the river and in
hurry, and Caleb was finally landed
in Cincinnati. AS he had got that
far he thought he might as we'll go
farther, and he tramped over three
or four western states before setting
his face homeward. The two times
widow said he ought to make up his
mind to live or die and quit making
her nervous over it, but of course she
was glad he had come back. With
Anson Davis it was different, how
ever.
"No, Caleb, cannot take your
hand" he said as he drew back.
"You are not a man of your word.
You are not man to be depended
on. Your dead body has been twice
found, and there are two graves in
which you are lying and two tomb
stones telling of your virtues, and yet
here you are before us ~
"But don't be mad at me, Anson," )"
pleaded Caleb.
81 am not mad, but hurt. The in
justice of it rankles. Caleb Jones,
hear me when I say that will never,
never marry your widow! I'm sorry
for her, but 1 owe duty to myself.
If you die again, she'll have to go it
alone for all of me !''
"Shoo !'' said Caleb as his face
heightened and took on look of sor-
row. "I didn't suppose you felt like
this about it, Anson. But, being you
do, and being as I can't really blame
you, 1 guess I'll have to stay at home
and try and outlive Mary"

WHAT MAN LIKES IN A WIFE.

A woman who says she has had ex-
perience, having had two husbands
and three sons, gives the following
opinions Of man and his little prefer
ences to the Co1snae, ciaI Ad0ertiSer:
GA man of mediocrity-and that
means most husbands, or at least
every other woman's husband-has
his ideal of wife. The kind he likes
dresses handsomely and becomingly
on very small allowance. She must
never go into debt for anything, but
must always pay ready money, wheth-
er she can manage to get it from him
or not. Her jewels must on no ac-
count be eclipsed by those of any
other women of her set, but when she
buys them and the bill comes in her
husband is furious about the outlay.
He sulks for a week, but then he
would have sulked quite as long if, at
the last dinner party, she had shone
a secondary star to any lady of their
acquaintance.
ga man loves his wife to be gentle
and sympathetic to himself. If she
is too much so to her boys and they
take advantage of it and get into debt
and go to her to help them out then
he says: Bother sympathy
''If she is too good to the poor, and
gives them of the household abun-
dance, he is apt to be cynical and CEN
serious; talks of encouraging par
eel of idle rogues, of 'indiscriminate
charity and the harm it does, and of
pauperizing the needy. None of these
considerations, however, prevents him
from giving to charities that print his
name at the head of the subscription
lists, or forking out quarter for cases
that come under his immediate notice.
It is only the wife is to subordinate
her kindly impulses to considerations
of political economy.
GA man likes his wife to be cheer
full. He does not always concern
himself very particularly about the
means to make and keep her so, but
he disapproves utterly of sad or
pensive face. He may have cut her
to the quick with some bitter word be-
fore he left home in the morning, but
he is extremely annoyed if he per-
ceives on returning any signs of the
wound he has inflicted. A man hits
hard, but he never expects to see a
bruise. He has forgiven himself for
administering the blow; why should
not the recipient be equally quick
about forgetting it?
ga man likes his wife to be intel
ligent, quite sufficiently to be able to
donduct the concerns of life, and to
appreciate his own intellectual parts
and enjoy stray ebullitions of his wit
and humor. She must applaud these
with discrimination, and in that deli
cate manner which infers no surprise
at his possessing brilliancy. But he
is exasperated should she be too in
telligent. His depths are to be in
violate, but he likes to sound her
shadows; and so well does she know
this that she often assumes shallow
ness when she has it not"

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.

When look ahead shows you nothing but the
thickest sort of gloom,
When you're worried to the center of your
soul,
When your plans have all miscarried and proved
castles in the air
And you've nothing in your pocket but hole,
Then's the time to reason thuswise: whats
the use to make row?
Who can tell q bit of difference in hundred
years from now?"
When the pathway stretching endwise tow'rd
life's slow setting sun
Shows the lions with their chains all hid from
view,
When it seems there's nothing doing" in the
providential line
And when everything except the sky) looks
blue.
Then is not the time to falter or turn backward
from the plow;
Will it make bit of difference in a hundred
years from now?
Yet there's one thing will make difference ten
long decades further on:
It's the way you bear your troubles day by
day;
If you keep your top-lip stiffened and smile
upon your face
AS you stride toward the lions in the way,
Then the worried world will carry fewer wrin-
kleS on its brow,
And twill really make some difference in hun
dred years from now.

SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLS.

AS rule the business girl has
far larger circle of acquaintance, and
in consequence makes many more
friends, than her stay-at-home sister.
Seven marriages out of ten are the re-
suit of propinquity, and many life
long partnership has resulted from
two people meeting continually in
business. Itmay be some months be-
fore they realize ali that these meet
ings mean, for Cupid is sometimes very
chary in his love-making. 1t is sell
dom the man girl sees only OCCASION
ally that she marries, but the man
whom she sees continually day by
day. Love steals into her heart un-
awares, and one day she wakes up to
the fact that the man whom she has
looked upon for so long as friend
has become part of her life, and that
she cannot live without him. But
this, of course, applies both to the
stay at-home and the business girl.
The knowledge that she had her own
work to do in the world gives to the
business girl feeling of indepen-
dence, which makes her better able to
hold her own than the stay-at-home
girl, who, in the majority Of cases, is
entirely dependent upon her parents.
But although independence is a
good thing in itself, it is sometimes
just little apt to make business
girl a shade too particular in her
choice of husband. The possession
of little money of her own makes
her ambitious for more, and instead
of being content to commence at the
bottom of the ladder, as her parents
did before her, she wants to start life
at the top. Among the men with
whom daily life brings her in contact
there may perhaps be one who is anx-
ious to win her for his wife, but he is
only just beginning life, SO she turns
a deaf ear to his protestations of at
fection, confident in the knowledge
that she is independent and can afford
to wait. Her life is full of interest and
luC WOllu ID DClOlC uSl SO why SuOulO
she be in hurry? The stay-at-home
sister, on the other hand, finds her
days very empty, and time hangs
heavily on her hands. If a lover
comes her way she is only too glad to
welcome him. Even if he is not ex-
actly her ideal he will at least be able
to relieve the monotony and give her
something to think about.
Whether she be in business or
whether her duties and responsible
ties be at home, it is the sympathetic,
sweet-natured girl that man gener-
ally chooses for his wife. And al
though the business girl may perhaps
have more opportunities of meeting
men than her stay-at-home sister, it
rests with woman herself to make
or mar her own happiness. Philadel-
blia Inquirer.

DEADLY WORK OF THE KING SNAKE.

Of all kind provisions, Of nature
perhaps the manner in which snakes
are brought into the world is the most
remarkable.
AS rule, all harmless snakes are
hatched from eggs, arriving in patches
Of from thirty to eighty. The poi
sonous snakes, on the other hand, are
born in litters Of from seven to eleven
in number.
There are exceptions to the rule, of
course, but they are few and unimpor-
tant, for, though the deadly king
cobra lays her eggs to be Matched by
the sun, they are few in number, un-
IKE the colonies deposited by the
harmless snakes.
Chief among the enemies of the
snakes are the reptiles themselves.
Cannibalism is general among the
creatures, the smaller snake serving
as food for the larger one. But chief
of all snakes that hunt their own kind
for the pleasure of slaughter is the
long slender king snake, constructor
by habit and fash in his move
mentS.
Among all reptiles the king snake
alone may truly be said to be the
friend of man. Heis found through
out the whole South, where the rat
tier and moccasin abound, summing
himself and preying for slaughter.
Picked up by human hand, the rep
tile seems pleased with the touch.
He makes no effort to escape, but
twines about his captor's arm and
makes himself comfortable.
To the rattlesnake and to every
other dangerous snake, large or small,
the king snake is terror. The poi
son of rattler has no more effect on
him than so much moonshine. In
stinctively the rattler knows his
match, and at sight of a king snake
tries to escape, if possible. In fight
the king snake relies wholly upon his
incredible speed. If the movements
of an ordinary snake seem quick to
the human eye, the movements of
king snake would seem instantaneous.
In twinkle the long, lank fellow
has wound himself about the throat of
an antagonist and, his sinewy coils
closing about the others throat,
chokes the wind out of him.-NeW
. York Times.

"Well, Judge" explained one,

we could take a deck of cards, shuttle
them so he could see us and make two
jacks come out together. He lost.
That was all, Judge"
What's your name?" the Magis-
trate asked the spokesman.
"Jack O'Brien, Judge"
"And yours ?'-turning to the
other prisoner.

tlemen, I'll just bet $500 that you two
Jacks do not come out together"
