MAKING HUSBANDS USEFUL.
Hints. for cids About to Marry and
Those Already Wed.

In the first place. don't let your hus-
band become fixed in the notion that
his activities properly begin and end
with bread-winning for the family.
while it is his privilege to grumble
at the food, smoke in the best parlor
and play billiards at the club or some
worse place. Let him realize at the
start that a fair division of labor calls
for deal more from him than the con-
duct of his business or the mere earn
ing Of a salary.
There are many things that hus-
band may be trained to do with care
and kindness. Everybody knows that
the wife makes the home. But as a
wife's duties at home consist in doing
about three times as much work rs a
husband does in a day, it follows that
It is much easier for a husband than
for wife to be happy. The best way
TO make wife happy is 10 t3ke some
of the work off her hands.
A husband may be useful in three
departments shopping, household
work. and garden work. The house
hold work is important. With little
tuition, and some supervision, a man
may be trusted to clean and paint
windows, take up and beat carpets, re-
fill coal scuttles. clean bicycles, oil
locks and doors, clean fire-irons, wash
oiIcloth, scrub stairs and do other
work that requires a pair of strong
arms and some muscle.

Presence of Mind.

A gentleman on a visit to an asylum
was walking in the grounds when a
man came UP to him and entered into
conversation.
After walking about for some time,
discussing topics suggested by the
place. the two set out on tour of in
spection, the man, apparently an Off
c1al, inviting the visitor to go over the
asylum.
At length they reached the foot of a
flight of steps, up which the guide led
the way, and at the top the visitor
found himself out upon the roof, a
height of more than a hundred feet
from the ground.
AS they gazed below his companion
startled him suddenly by proposing to
see who could jump farthest toward
the grounds! Not until then had it
dawned upon the visitor that his guide
was mad. Mercifully, he was man of
ready wit, and his wit saved the mad
mans life. "Oh, anybody can jump
down." said the visitor. Let us go
down and see who can jump to the
top" The mailman thought it good
idea, and, retracing their steps, the two
began their jump from the earth in
stead of from the roof

Why the stomach Lasts.

An old question which has long puz-
zled PSYCHOLOGISTS is, Why does not the
stomach digest itself? The walls of the
stomach are in substance not unlike
the food which they contain and which
is digested by the pepic fluid. The
stomach is able to digest proteid food
when introduced into it, yet it does not
digest itself.
The reason for this has been shown
by Wetnland. Weinland found that q
substance can be extracted from the
cells of the stomach which, when add
ed to proteid material will not allow
1t to be acted upon by the pepsin Of the
stomach. This substance belongs to
the class of so called antiferments-
that is, group of bodies which by
their presence inhibit Preventative ac-
tons. The presence of this antifer-
ment in the cells of the stomach pre-
vents them from digesting themselves.
After death. when this substance de-
composeS, the stomach will digest it

Gloves and Kisses,

The claim of gloves by ladies as a
reward when they have stolen a kiss
from a sleeping man is alluded to by

Cicely, brisk maid. steps forth before the
rout
And kissed with enlackins lips the snoring
lout;
For custom says. "Whoeer this venture
For such kiss demands a pair Of
gloves"
In chapter of "The Fair Maid Of
PERTH" by Sir Walter Scott, Catherine
leaves her chamber on St Valentines
morning and finding Henry Smith
asleep gives him a kiss. The glover
says to him:
Come into the booth with me, my
son, and l will furnish thee with a fit
ting theme. Thou knowest the maiden
who ventures to kiss a sleeping man
wins of him pair of gloves"
And in the following chapter she ac-
cepts it.-Notes and Queries.

colors a lively and interesting review
Of that country and its several re-
sources in the vegetable line, it is not
an uncommon thing to unearth pota-
toes weighing three pounds or more,
and every thing in the vegetable line
assumes corresponding proportions in
size and weight.
Nels Rattenborg's boy, Soren, the
lad so fearfully hurt by a hay fork
falling on him ten days since has met
with another accident this time
stepping with the uninjured foot on
rusty garden rake, some of the
teeth penetrating the flesh and
muscles until it took quite a pull to
extricate the foot from the rusty
teeth of the rake. This happened
last Monday and he is said to have
been suffering more from this than
the previous accident, when this was
written on Tuesday.
w. H. Heileman of Elwell, Iowa,
was visiting his brother, Fred and

ing of lands which are very produc-
tive but for want OF proper treat
ment in three or four years become
impregnated with alkali to such all
extent as to render them worthless
until the surplus alkali sediment is
removed which is easily and readily
done by flooding and tiling the land,
when once you know how. This is
his business, to teach the sturdy
ranchers Of that region to go at the
work intelligently. His description
of the possibilities of the country are

Judge Fnlconer's Novel Plan to Sc
cure Good Roads.
Judge W. a. Falconer of Fort Smith.
Ark, has applied the principle of state
aid in a new way, says the Good Roads
Magazine. AS state aid is not yet
forthcoming in Arkansas, though it
Will soon be provided for, Judge Frl-
eoner put himself in the states place
and offered to donate $500 to that
one Of the four most important roads
in the township which would raise the
largest bonus to obtain it.
One road raised $3.50 in guaranteed
cash subscriptions in addition to the
engineering work and unlimited guam
titles of stone. To the road coming
next in this friendly contest the judge
offered dollar for every dollar it
would raise, provided it would raise as
much as $1,000 by April 1. That road
had on March s, in cash and in checks
payable April l, $1.SOO and expected
to raise $7OO or $500 more.
Judge Falconer has done more than
help Fort Smith to get good roads. He
has set an example that may we'll be
emulated throughout the nation.

A Lost Necklace.

Quantities of ornaments are lost each
year at the drawing rooms or courts
at Buckingham palace, and only very
small proportion is recovered.
A very strange story is still told
about diamond necklace which was
found at one of the state balls some
years ago. 1t happened that one Of
Queen Tictoria's ladies in waiting pick
ed up a diamond necklace from the
floor. AS she stood with it in her hand
a lady came quickly forward and
claimed it.
The finder was very firm, however,
and declared it was her duty to give it
in to the lord chamberlain's Office, as
this was the rule with regard to any
thing found in the palace. The Lady
protested in vain, but the oldest thing
was that this necklace never was
claimed and is probably still at the
lord cha1nberiain's office.
