AFTER MARRIAGE.
Attentions Cease and Husband Settles
Down to a Humdrum Way.

Complaints come from many wives
that after year or so OF married life
the husband ceases all those little at
tentions SO dear to a woman, and settles
down into a humdrum routine way of
living very monotonous to her
On the other hand, the husband com
plains that in course of time the. wife
neglects all those little coquettes of per-
son and manner that so charmed him
at first. She comes down to breakfast
in mussed, ill-ftting wrappers, her hair
unkept and untidy. When they go out
together her gloves, shoes and neck
wear are not so dainty as when in girl
hood days she accompanied him. She
does not welcome him with the same
the past, when he called: Her whole
manner expresses Now be a general
letting-up on both sides after I've got
him, it doesn't matter"
OF course, there are wives and wives,
as there are husbands and husbands.
Some wives never relax They are dain
ty in person, loving in manner always.
In such homes love, peace and harmony
respect and love of her husband.
But there are many wives who take
too much for granted. They accept all
the love and attention showered on them
they could at least show some little ap-
probation of it. They are careless and
slovenly in their dress at home-unless
company is Observation-Disclosures to their
husbands comfort, both in. small and
large matters And sometimes in the
end the small matters count more than
the large ones. They consult their own
pleasure entirely, spend the. summer
away from home, the winters in round
OF social affairs IN when their ndsoauus
have no part They accept all they give
them as matter of course
Then expect them to go on loving
them. to continue being as attentive as
in the halcyon davs when they believed
them all they fondly wished. 1t is only
the exceptional man who will do it, Men
are only human, and the majority OF
them are apt to tire of this continuous,
one-sided performance. And some Day
these wives wake up to find their hus-
bands Geld, reserved, absorbed in other
things. And then they complain pitterly
that men have no feeling, no sentiment,
that love with them is a matter of good
meals and a comfortable home

THE NAGGING HABIT.
One of the Sins That Destroy the Com
fort of Home.

There is one exceedingly disagreeable
habit into which some people fall with
ont seeming to notice it. This is nagging.
They cannot say what they have to say
and pecking at it on every occasion, and
if occasions do not arise naturally they
make them. In this nagging sarcasm or
irony bears leading part. A thing may
be said Cnce or twice as pleasant rail-
lery in general humor, but when re-
peated over and over it ceases to be fun
IT then cuts. Sarcasm is a two edged
tool; it cuts and wounds the one at whom
it is aimed and it irritates and roughens
the one who uses it. 1t is dangerous
tool for one to use who wishes to be
either kind or just: It comes easily to
tain kind of delight in aptness, ingenu-
ity of sharpness. Its use grows on one;
at least the habit becomes so habitual
that it is used unconsciously: However
good naturedly one seems to take it. it is
almost certain to leave sting; there IS
wound that hurts. Struggle against it
as one will, there will often be an i'm
preston carried that some part of it is
meant in earnest.
Too often do all of US wound the feel
ngs of others by carelessness in speech.
We cannot too carefully guard ourselves
wears out the best of dispositions. Let
us endeavor ever to make our speech
kindly even when obliged to find fault.
"A blow with a word strikes deeper than
d dow WITH d SWOTu. we SIldu never
err by speaking too kindly. These nag
gers are often kind at heart and would
not willingly wound another They have
formed the habit unconsciously and are
not aware of how frequently they indulge
in that kind of talk. 1t does not occur
to them that any one may take q fur
ther meaning than they have meant or
that any part of it will be taken serious
ly. 1t is unavoidable, however, that this
is so.
The nagging habit is the real reason why
some women find it difficult to retain ser
wants. 1t is for the sharpness of their
tongues that some really excellent peo-
pie are avoided and disliked in society.
People dread the tongue lashings that slip
so easily from the lips and without real
malice, but they nevertheless cut deep.
Let us put a guard on ourselves and see
that this habit of sarcastic speech and
nagging is not ours. The Chinese have q
saying that "a mans conversation is the
mirror of his thoughts There is truth
ir it. If we habitually talk in a certain
way, we grow to be that way in charac-

freak of a rhunderhS1t.

The annals of a French academy OF
science tell of a tailor's adventure with.
a thunderbolt. He lived in a house pro-
yided with two chimneys-one for a
fireplace and the other for a stove, the
latter not in use. During a thunder
storm a tremendous report was heard
and everybody thought that the house
had been struck by lightning. Instant
" a blue flaming ball dropped into the
fireplace and rolled out into the room,
seemingly about six inches above the
floor. The excited tailor ran around the
room, the ball of fire playing about his
feet Suddenly it rose above his head
and moved off toward the stoyepipe
hole In the ceiling, which had al piece
OF paper pasted over it. The ballmoved,
straight through the paper and up the
chimney. When near the top, tex
ploded and tore the chimney into thou
sands of fragments. The sight OF the
debris left by the explosion showed the
family what would have been the cor
sequences had it exploded while on its
gyrating passage through the room.

Moon Worship Among Many Peoples.3
Figures Of the moon as religious EN-
blems can be traced to a very high am
tquity. The ancient Egyptiansl had
two moon, gods-Khois or Kkonsu and
Tel or Thoth. The latter wore the
moon on his head, either as a full
moon or as d crescent. The divine
honors paid to the cat on the banks OF
the Nile were; probably due to its sup
posed connection with the moon, as
shown by the changeabae pupil Of the
feline eyes In Greece both Ph9bus
aud Phoebe were moon gods, and by
Isis the Greeks understood the same
planet. The Romans had many gods.
With them Luna was the moon, the
daughter of Hyperion and sister of the
sun. According to Livy, the temple 81
Luna stood onSthe Avertine.
The ancient Goths, Germans and
Firms were all noon worshipers, and
In ancient Britain the moon occupied
q high position in the celestial HER
archy of the Druids, who were always
represented as bearing crescents in
their hands. 1t is possible, too, that
5Andraste, the goddess to whom Boadi-
,cea appealed with outstretched hands,
was the moon.
