John said he forgot to kiss Mary until
after they We're married.
There are hundreds of men who have
worked out of debt, paid for their homes
and made money who, if they were to
tell the story of their lives, would give
the credit to the wife who toiled at their
side.
One essential in good wife is common
sense-just plain common sense, and with
that she will soon learn not to sew on
white buttons with black thread, and
to make biscuits and pancakes just like
your mother used to make them.
Another essential is religion. Religion
softens and soothes and makes agreeable.
1t warns the heart and quiets the tongue.
For the position of wife and mother
there is demand to-day for the best
trained women the best colleges can pro-
duce. She who is ambitious to be an
ideal wife and mother will fit herself for
the broadcast life possible by a thorough
education.

life, it will impress her child more than
any dogma that can be inculcated in her
in lengthy lectures. If, added to this, the
mother has the self-control to notice the
chld's little fads and fancies and treat
them respectfully, and if the child be al
lowed the largest liberty consistent with
the proper care of her, there will be little
to fear for her future. Most girls will
sedulously avoid errors which their moth
ers do not daily commit. A good exam
pie is the practical demonstration of a
moral theory. and is worth more than all
the sermonizing one can utter.
Too many mothers forget good manners
in intercourse with their children. They
do not use the little clegancies which, if
forgotten toward a stranger, they would
consider objectionable. This obviously
is wrong The habit of trusting children
to the care of servants in the nursery in
the formative period Of their lives is a
very vicious one, no matter how trust
worthy the servants. No one can give
child that close attention which is
prompted by mothers love.
No mother can escape the dreadful re-
sponsibility Of the moral education Of
her daughter. / confess to being unable
to give any formula for its performance
except selfabnegation and eternal vigi-
lance. Ultra fashionable mothers may
say: Il am too busy to devote myself to
my children" True, perhaps, but why?
The child has a natural and first claim
to her mothers sedulous attention during
the formative period Of her life, which [
think is from birth to the twelfth or tifs
teenth year of her youth, and the claims
of society should be secondary to this
paramount duty.

Law to Promote Honesty.

1--WE have an old statute in Arizona
making it misdemeanor for hotel
or restaurant keeper to set out viands
on his bill of fare that he is not actual
~ able to serve," said Clarkson South
ard, OF Bisbee, "and it might we'll be
adopted here. It was enacted many
years ago when prospectors and others,
returning to the towns after months of
privation, were deluded and enraged
by elaborate bills of fare, to find after
ward that the only articles they could
really get to eat were bacon and beans,
as usual. So many shootings resulted
that this law was enacted and for q
time was strictly enforced. The neces-
sity for it's enforcement has long since
passed, but it has never, so far as /
know, been repealed" -Philadelphia

Few people understand how desperately

do not expose their entire bodies to the

be used sparingly, and never Immediate

Talking at Sea.

The maryels Of wireless telegraphy
are great enough to render a recent
use Of the system not sufficiently Won
derful to be extraordinary, perhaps,
yet the incident reported by Chambers
Journal is one which appeals to the
ina gination.
Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and
the Campania, We're crossing the At
lantic in opposite directions. Each,
knowing the date Of the others sail
ing, could make calculation as to
the hour when they would most likely
meet. When the hour came, the YES
sells were too far apart to sight each
other Presently, however, the warn
ing bell of the wireless Geographic ap-
paratus in the Campania tinkled, and
the message was spelled out: Are
you there?-Lucania." And then the
two vessels, still invisible to each 9TH
er, and, as it was found, thirty-six
miles apart, talked for some hours, ex-
changing experiences as to the wealth
er and finally parting with the word
'good-by," when they were a hundred
and forty miles asunder. =

couraging applications for Judicial sep
aration. New grounds of divorce are
constantly being incorporated into our
law notwithstanding that the general
public sense has been greatly shocked by
the ease with which divorces may already
be obtained. With many it is only a
question of financial ability and a few
months of leisure to insure success in ap-
plication for divorce. They are facilitat-
ed, too, by the secrecy with which d.
vorce litigation is so frequently conduct
ed.
Publicity in all divorce proceedings
would undoubtedly check their frequen,
cy. 1t would direct public attention to
the evils of divorce and create strong
feeling against it. Sometimes instances
occur where the interests of the children
justify secret divorce proceedings, but no
interest of public policy requires this.
The home, which is the unit of the ma
TONS strength, should be protected.

MIR. SchWab, who has risen to position
which pays salary Of 81 100000 year,
would be more able to tell how one can
make living But that supposition is
not altogether true. The man who knows
the theory of any practice cannot always
carry out his ideas.
:. Now, what is the present state Of liv-
ing in this country? l am not pess-
mist, but l must say that conditions are
fearful. A young man who leaves col
lege to-day to earn a living has a hard
time Of it. He has one chance in 3d.
100000 to become President Of the coun-
try and about as good chance to become
rich. He has little better show Of
amassing a fortune but the chances are
few. 1t is all the time said that there
is room at the top, and so there is. The
whole society has been divided into two
classes-the great class at the bottom and
the little class at the top. The ordinary
man has no chance at all. 1t is only the
extraordinary man who can get to the
top. He must have little regard for any
thing save victory.
Wages have fallen during the last thir-
ty years to an alarming degree. Thirty
years ago a stenographer could get ST.
500 year readily: now he can get $40

work it is the same story. The rich be-
come richer and the poor have their
wages cut.

Rich Increase in Ore.

lent Of the Alta Mines company, from
The resident manager of the mine ut Tel
(uride, Col, stating that the returns re-
:eived from the American Smelling and
refining company for the last car Of con
:entrates shipped to smelter amounted
:" an average of $40 Il ton, or a return
,f S4m for the entire car. This is
sharp increase in the values of the ores
which the Alta company is now reduc
iuG 1T it's own mill and consequently is
highly gratifying to the many Milwau-
