1t Pays.

1t pays to wear smiling face
And laugh our troubles down,
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of a smile
Our doubts will fade away,
AS melts the frost in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
1t pays to help a worthy cause,
By making it our own:
To give the current of our lives
A true and noble tone.
1t pays to comfort heavy hearts
Oppressed with dull despair,
And leave in sorrow -darkened lives
One gleam of brightness there.

THE TURKS WIVES.
Monogamy on the Increase in Realm
 of the Sultan.

Although of late years, writes Anna Bowman Dodd, in the Cen tury, among Turks highly placed, it has come to be considered as far more chic to have only one wife, yet this laudable increase in the practice of monogamy does not tend to complete emancipa- ton from certain we'll established Moslem traditions. The mention of ones wife to a foreigner is nowadays made the easier when one may truthfully speak of her in the singular number. A Turk may, after some months of semi intimacy, talk somewhat freely, indeed, of his domestic life, pro vided always his household is modelled after the European plan of life. The social life is drawn at the point of asking even a lady to call. Frequent visiting between European and Turkish wives, when these are in the singular number, is possible only after somewhat prolonged residence and much friendly intercourse.
 To the casual visitor there is an unexpected embarrassment in find ing almost all the Turks one meets in society married to one wife only. The singularity of this singlesness is as trying, apparent ly, to the Turk, on certain occa. sions, as it is eminently disap pointing to the European.

ALKALOID IN TOBACCO.
Is Harmful Element Rather Than
 Nicotine, Says Scientist,

The British Medical Journal states that, according to recent investigations brought to the no tice of the Vienna Academy of Sciences, the aroma of tobacco and the effect of tobacco on the smoker are not, as is commonly supposed, due to nicotine, but to a quite different chemical body, an alkaloid. Dr. Frenkel, the au- thor of the paper submitted to the academy, states that he observed that the physiological action of tobacco does not correspond to the amount of nicotine which it con tains, and he mentions that cer- tain kinds of Havana tobacco which are poor in nicotine exer- else greater effect on the human system than any other kinds which are rich in nicotine.

At Any Rate, the Inquisitive Dru m

A passenger entered a railway carriage in Australia in which was seated particularly aggres- siye commercial traveller. and placed in the rack opposite q small wooden box pierced with holes, says the Sporting Times.
 In the conversation which fol. lowed the commercial traveller gave several hints that he would like to know what was in the box. without avail. At last his curios ity got the better of him.
 .I say, old man. he asked, "what have you in that box"
 "A mongoose," was the reply.
 A series of diplomatic remarks followed, aimed at getting the req son for carrying mongoose; but, as no explanation was offered. the commercial traveller had to say plump out:
 What are you going to do with that mongoose?"
 The answer he got was: T'm going to see friend who has been drinking of late-so heavily. in fact, that he has developed de. lirium tremens. You may be aware that people so suffering are inclined to see snakes, and you may also be aware that there is nothing on earth so deadly to snakes as mongoose."
 He sat back, evidently satisfied that he had given full and com plete explanation.
 "But-but, l say" said the com mercial traveller, "those snakes are imaginary"
 "So is my mongoose," returned the person interrogated.

induced Dr. Frenkel to examine tobacco to see if he could find the chemical body which really is the cause of disturbing or soothing effects. From different kinds of tobacco he separated a yellow looking salt. The further exam ination of this salt convinced Dr. Frenkel that the aroma and the effects of tobacco arise to a very large extent from the alkaloid. which is characterized by highly volatile properties. If the con clusions which Dr. Frenkel ar rived at are correct, smoking may be freed of some of it's evil effects. for 1t may be possible, in contra distinction to the case of nicotine. to remove from tobacco the prop. erty which acts deleteriously on the dey0tee of the weed"

BRUNETTES AND BLONDES.
Woman of Fair Face and Presses
 Said to Make Ideal Wife.

Said to Make Ideal Wife.
 The little blonde, with her fair hair and baby blue eyes, is said to make the ideal wife-the wife the man paints in brain pictures be. fore marriage. She yields the reins of a household with d nat. ural aptitude for her onerous posi- tion, and at the same time allows her husband to rule over her and himself with a graceful compla- cency which her darker sister could never even assume.
 Now, the secret of fair wom- ans matrimonial success, says the Chicago Chronicle, lies in her temperament.
 She is easy-going and, though generally possessed of q certain amount of natural conceit, that conceit never by any chance runs on intellectual lines; it is her mere personal prettiness and the like that give it birth Thus she tacitly admits the superiority of man, bending herself unquestioningly to his will, and man, with the old inherent feudal instincts strong within him, accepts her subseryi- ence, and deems her an ideal wife accordingly, even though per chance she should fall short of many of the projections of his pre- matrimonial ideal woman.
 With a darker woman things matrimonial present a totally diff ferent aspect.
 Her characteristics are averse to submission, as fair woman ae- cepts the meaning of the word, and, while realizing the burden of her VOW to "love, honor and obey" she also considers it bind ing upon the man to levy only such laws of obedience upon her as he himself will also observe.
 She resents the aspersions that women were merely created for decorative purposes within their husbands home, and in many in. stances under the cramping con- fines of domesticity the dark wom. an has discovered a latent capac- ity to storm the labor market which has been crushed dormant by the heredity of generations.
 When this happens woe and bit terness enter into the family camp; for the man, fearing he or his home and creature comforts may be neglected, starts series of petty oppositiOns that crush out the sentiment and love of marriage.
 The onus of settling down and accepting the humdrum routine of the average domestic life finds scant favor with a brunette; her instinctsare not domestic. She can love, and with her the grand pas sion is passion that verily be- comes part of her being, but the highest, holiest love of the wide world over all will not eradicate inherent characteristics, though for time it may east them into the background by the brillancy of it's novelty. And under the in- huence of that novelty the dark bride will make semblance of successful housekeeping.
