THE TenderIoin drunk said Sergeant Coffee
is not so likely TO wait for the police as the
poor 1ongshoreman who has fallen a victim to
cheap whiskey. The man with money has
friends or enemies to take him away. At any

mounted force rides the 'tenderfOot' through

fractions and hard to tame, or if it shows some
flaw of body or wind. it is sent back TO the

The fundamental PRINCIPLE governing
the application of the BRAKE to a car.
says an engineer who has recently in
Nestigated the subject. * to stop short
at the point where the wheels begin 10
slip. or skid" When this occurs it
not only flatteuS the wheel but effec-
tive braking ceases. "Skiddlu"' how
ever. ought not to occur in practice,
for. by the use Of sand. cars may be
stopped quickly as is consistent with
the passengers safety without reach
ing the sliding point. Sometimes, even,
the cars stop too quickly for comfort,
and lit looks as critic says IN an
electrical journal, las if any material
increase in brake efficiency would have
to be followed by putting the passen-
gers into padded compartments" Hand
brakes are found to be quite effective.
and most of the brakes on trolley cars
are hardly powerful enough to secure
perfect safety.-Success.

Should the wife have an allowance
family income for herself, or SHOULD
she have to ask her husband. as if it
We're charity. for money with which
to buy her hats, gloves, ribbons and the
thousand and one needful trities? Men
are apt to think that because women
do not do the work for which they
Ohe mem are paid. they have no part
in earning it. and are sooner or later
inclined to ask. where is the quarter
| gave you yesterday"
Marriage is partnership in special
sense. in which the man is generally
the bread winner; but it by no means
follows that the woman Is merely an
ornament or a doll arrayed in pretty
dresses or house gowns. In the ideal
home the wife bears her share of the
burdens that must come, it would seem
to us all. She keeps the house more IF
less deliberately. according to the cir
CumstanceS If she has one servant y.
more. her burdens take other fur.r>
than if she did her own work. If sin
has children there is the responsibility
of caring for them and training them.
The mothers influence upon her chilli
rem for good or evil is very great. :.
there are guests at the home the mdt-
ter of entertainment largely devoIv $
upon the wife. Her duties are mulufaE-
ious. and when she has done all sh2 -
expected to be a companion for he
husband and to be Interested in The
things in which he is Interested. All
this is just as much contribution to To-
household happiness and comfort Il,
the money the husband brings honi
every week. In business matters the
wife should be treated like a business
partner; she should have an allOWanC"
and should not have a false sentim~i:'
about asking for it.
