THE WIPES MORAL RIGHTS.
A Will-Making Incident Which Opens Up Wide Field of Spec
 uIatiOn.

Has the wife a moral right to take part in making her husbands will? This was the question urged recently by a wife, says American Queen.
 With a legal aspect of the matter, she had nothing to do; legally, he was not bound to consult her, and, on her side, she knew that if she had possessed money in her own right she could dis pose of it as she desired. So far. it seemed fair to both; but in this case the only money possessed by the couple was that which had been saved during their married life.
 It was true that the money had been saved out of the husbands earnings. and had been banked and invested in his name, but the wife declared that the extent of the saving had been consider ably increased by her. She had all ways striven to make home comfortable and to obtain the maximum of happi- ness with a minimum of expenditure By her careful household management she had secured her object on a small CT allowance than most of her friends: she had taken her share in the per- formance of everyday duties in the house, and thus caused her husband less expense for servants, breakage and gen. eral maintenance. Had she been so minded, she might have spent much more, and her husband would have ac- eepted this increased expenditure as matter of course. In that event his savings would have been less; hence. by logical reasoning, she had saved a fair share of the amount standing to his credit in the bank or in stocks. and. as natural consequence she had moral right to have a voice in the dis position of the estate.
 In the instance of which we are speaking, the husband recognized the truth of the argument, and crossed out the distasteful condition This incl dent opens up a wide field of specula- tion As general thing, the wife has good moral grounds for insisting on taking part in the will-making. as she is the one who has to abide by the con- sequences.

OPEN WAY TO ROOSEVELT.
Prcstdent Without Encountering the Secret Service Guards.

The discussion as to whether there ire guards enough about the presidents home at Oyster Bay recalled to two neu of New York city the other day an incident of year ago when they made x first trip to the summer capital of the nation.
 They didn't drive over by the regular road from the village. but landed from boat and then walked through the woods and across lots up to Sagamore Hill. Neither knew the way. but they assured each other that they'd know tAe Roosevelt domain by the presence of secret service men.
 k occurred to them when they thought they were near the right place. though. shzt it wouldn't do any harm to inquire 1he way, SO they walked across a field and up the steps to the back veranda oi fne-looking house. Not a secret service man was in sight around there A man was sitting on the veranda.

WllDFLOWERS.

Scarce known by name, they pie the ground
 With motley colors. starry forms, In them the sunset skies are found
 That follow after storms; And blurs of crimson. blue and gold Their graceful chalices enfold. While mid the dead leaves piled and pent Humbly they live and die content. prge oaks above them litt their heads
 And drop the acorn, shed the leaf, The harvest field far round them sheds
 Plenty in many sheaf And they, half fragrant, brighten earth Low in the shadows where there's dearth Of pain or pleasure, love or life. Far from the worlds mad. eeaseless strife. They speak no message. act no part,
 They have no works to show, Deep hidden here they touch no heart

them, and, in fact, teams of four oxen work that we do with horses On farms they begin to work these cattle when three or four years old, but the peas ants use them even at an earlier age The oxen are controlled by word of mouth. After being worked two or three years they are often fattened for the butcher. Excepting those at labor. Hungarian cattle are generally in a semi-wild state, and live continuously out of doors. The puszta, or prairie ranges, carry enormous herds, their food being pasture only except in win ter time, when they get hay. The breeding animals however. get some grain in addition The cattle are looked after on the prairie by herds men. some of whom are horsemen, much after the manner of our cow boys of the western plains. These Hungarian herdsmen practically act as boundary riders, Hungary being, as a rule, land devoid of fences.
 The calves are dropped under wild conditions similar, at any rate. to those enjoyed by our western range cattle, and it may be said that they show many similar traits. The young calves are stated to be yellowish, while those nearest white have a brown line down the neck and a fainter one down the back
 When between two or three years old the young are brought off the ranges and broken to yoke. Having on these plains to withstand the heat of sum mer and rigors of winter. these cattle become hardy, and the food they have

An Uubusiness-like Department.

As regards the Post Office Department
in particular, the country perceives more
clearly than ever before that this great
business service ought to be completely
and severely reorganized on a business
basis. The public confidence IN it is
shockingly undermined. The postmaster
General, who as a cabinet officers is one
of the Presidents general advisers, is
never in Office long enough to become
an expert in the administration of his
department. Thus, the business as a
whole never enters in the hands Of any
strong man who understands it. There
are four assistant postmaster generals
among whomthe direction Of the immense
business of the department is divided up
in an illogical and arbitrary way. This
prevents concentration and makes for
bad management. Enormous as is the
business each assistant postmaster.gener-
al has to transact, he is seldom a man OF
whom the public at large has ever heard
and he seldom stays in his place long
enough to know thoroughly his own
quarter of the service where as it is not
considered etiquette in the department
for him to know anything about the
other three-quarters. The American
postal administration which ought to be
the best in the world,-because of the
progress, wealth, and intelligence of our
people and the large use they make OF
the mail facilities,-is falling behind
that of almost all civilized nations simply
because the department lacks expert
administra alton, and because the great
private transportation interests that alb
sorb half the postal venue are much
more influential at Washington than i.
the public demand for a better service on
abusiness basis.-From"The Progress oil

The failure of prominent and
supposedly wealthy brokerage
houses in New York, coming after
a long period of liquidation in the
securities market, created alarm
throughout the country. For the
first time, apparently, people
awoke to a realization ofthe enor-
nous reduction in the selling val
ues of securities and the serious
consequences which might attend
such an acute depression in the
stock market. The decline in the
prices of stocks has been SO grad
ual and, until recently, so free
from these usual failures and dis
tressing accompaniment, that its
monumental proportions were
overlooked. These failures over
hanging the market have been for
months one of the greatest ele-
ments of weakness in the situa-
ton. Now that the penalty has
been paid by the insolvent firms
for their financial excuses, the
situation is greatly improved. The
stock market is relieved of a
grievous burden, and the financial
community realizes the fact. Just
as it is always darkest before the
dawn, the announcement OF fail.
ure is the moment of the turn fol
