message from Prince Neslerov, hasten

Neslerov, and If there should chance to

Neslerov, as wealthy noble of Gras-
Low, could further his possibilities.
Inspector Jansky entered the palace

Managing q Husband.

There is a positive exhilarati0n to be
derived from bringing all ones efforts
to bear upon a husband whose busl-
ness worries have pursued him from
the Office. There is a genuine delight
10 fight with the unknown anxieties
which his love will not permit him to
unburden at home. 1t brings out all
the tact and patience and diplomacy,
all the charms and graces of a wOm-
ans character to transform a cross,
tired, worn-out husband into a new
man-just by good dinner and little
tact.

inject your husband with a smile" "
which is the old-fashioned rule for

A PreserVe CLOSET.

A woman reader says: II feel en-.
couraged to suggest to you two or three
household economies. The first Of
these is a cupboard, or closet, in the
furnace cellar for thestorage of canned
fruit. A good housewife should not
be compelled to leave these winter pre-.
parations on her pantry shelves. They
should be stored where the severe
freezing cannot reach them, and where
they can be easily got at. Then l
think household comfort depends on
much better pantry than most women
have. There should be besides shelves,
bins for bread, cake and so forth, and
there should be tin boxes for holding
such articles as become quickly dried

Exprrts Are Dangerous.

There are scientific experts whose tes-
timony is to be taken with respect: They
deal in facts. For example, a chemist
will find what proportion of poison, is
contained in a certain substance that
may have been administered with mis-
chievous intent. A physician will de,
scribe an injury and tell Of results and
causes where shot or stab wounds are
involved. An architect will be able. to
explain how a bridge or building has
fallen. But the too usual expert is none
of these. He is a man who for a great
price offers a personal opinion as to
handwriting. A trial, especially one in
which human life or liberty is involved,
should be conducted solely on evidence.
Opinion is not evidence.
