WHY HIS MARRIAGE WAS 4
FAILURE,

He regarded children as a nuisance.
He did all his counting before mar
riage.
He never talked over his affairs with
his wife.
He never had time to go anywhere
with his wife.
He doled out money to his wife as
if to a beggar.
He looked down upon his wife as an
inferior being.
He never took time to get acquainted
with his family.
He thought Of his wife only for
what she could bring to him.
He never dreamed that there were
two sides to marriage.
He never dreamed that wife needs
praise or compliments.
He had one set of manners for home
and another for society.
He paid no attention to his personal
appearance after marriage.
He married an ideal, and was disap-
pointed to find it had flaws.
He thought his wife should spend all
her time doing homework.
He treated his wife as he would not
have dared to treat another woman.
He never dreamed that his wife
needed vacation, recreation or
change.
He never made concessions to his
wife's Judgment, even in unimportaht
matters.-Success.

CARE OLE THE BABES.

Unless great regard is paid to food
and the preservation of health from a
common sense point of view, the aS-
erage child Of delicately nurtured pa
rents is susceptible to numerous small
physical troubles which are liable to
result seriously in after life.
1t is the privilege for healthy babe
to cry for'what it wants. That is nat
ural. But when the cry is frequent
or more or less continuous, it may be
taken for granted that the cry comes
from distress and that unsuitable food
is the cause Of it.
The Importance of providing child
with a diet which is in every way suit
ed to his individual requirements can.
not be overestimated. 1t should be
watched from day to day and changed
according to the physical condition of
the little one. At the very outset of
his little life, IL due attention IL not
paid to his diet, it may result later IN
an impaired digestion and constitu.
tionally bad temper as well.
Fresh air and sunshine are Just as
necessary to an infant as to the pa
rents of the infant. A child must
have both to thrive. If possible the
rooms inhabited by children should
get the morning sun, and every child
should be taken for a drive or walk
while the sun is we'll in the sky. Day
and night the living apartments of
children should be Systematically aired
and nothing is worse for the health Of
children than a room heated by the
means of gas.
1t is not possible for child to be
good-tempered or wen If he is so in
sufficiently clothed as to feel cold. 10
obtain the greatest benefit from the
clothing it should be equally distribut-
ed over the whole of the little body.
The eXtremities should be especially
shielded. The undergarments OF chill
dren should be of pure wool, suitable
TO the season.-New York Evening
Journal.

A naturalist while visiting Great
Sangir, one of those islands in the In
dian Ocean known as the Celebes or
Spice Islands, found a curious time
recorder in the house Of rajah. Two
bottles were firmly dashed together and
fixed in a wooden frame. A quantity
Of black sand ran from one bottle into
the other in just half an hour, and
when the upper bottle was empty the
frame was reversed. Twelve short
sticks marked with notches from one to
twelve were hung upon the string. A
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number Of notches CORE
spending to the hour last struck and
the one to be struck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on a large gong.

Civilization of Africa,

I was forcibly struck the other day
by the extent to which Darkest Africa
is being opened up. Looking through
the illustrated program Of the Anglo
American Nile Steamer and Hotel
Company, I see that you can not only
travel in luxurious style all the way
to Khartoum, but you can go by
steamer up the White Nile to Condo
koro, the most northerly post Of the
Uganda Protectorate-a journey of over
a thousand miles through an absolutely
uncivilized country, and one which Eu-
ropeans have only penetrated within
the last few years. This is really a
wilder, though probably an easier, tour
than the trip from Mombasa up the
Uganda Railway. Boats are making
the excursion in January, February
and March. As for Egypt itself, the
fine boats Of the Anglo-American Com
pany have made the trip as easy and
comfortable as run to Monte Carlo
by the train de luxe--perhaps more So

"Why speak of blame?"

No pang or thought of might have been
Until you came.

Passed without passions, stir, or sound;
But now, my eyes in yours have seen
The blazing joys of might have been.
