 ''On the other hand, everything seems to trouble the lean husband. He h exacting critical, fault-hnding, and, more often than not, domineering.
 Tt Is not the lean mans fault that the fat man excels as a husband. The fat man seems to have been especially designed for an easy-going domestic life. Nature has endowed him with many qualities she has denied to the lean man. She has made the fat man naturally indolent, both as to exertion and temper He likes to move slowly ito rest.
 There may be some people who will not agree with the theory that stout men make the best husbands; but If you look closely at the men who dis pute the theory, you will find that they are lean and have worried look"

A Word to Mothers.

Mothers of families are too apt to consider that their appearance is of small importance. The girls, of course, they wish to have as pretty clothes as they can afford to give them, but, say they, who will notice what I wear" so they are careless about the neatness of their shoes, the fit of their gloves, the fineness of their handker- chiefs. etc. and present anything but a dainty and smart appearance.
 Now all this is a mistake, and 1t is q worse mistake for the matron than it is for the spinster, for It is likely to lessen the happiness of those whom she loves best. When we look at a fresh young girl, we often notice her likeness to her mother. and when we see the mother dowdy and draggle-tail. ed, vision comes before us of what

 Suppose you have a game of check ers," said she. You can make the moves for Jean, as she is too young yet to know how. She will soon learn, think"
 The smiling little playmate leaned against book, and did not seem at all annoyed when she was beaten. In the second game she actually beat Jack.

 In the afternoon Jean stood by him and smiled encouragingly while he was praeticing his music lesson. Then he showed her the pictures in pile of old magazines.
 After that, splendid to relate, all the sewing was put away, and mamma, who was nothing but big girl herself, put white cloak on the baby, a straw hat on the boy, and sunshade on her own head, and all went out in the yard to play.-Youths Companion.

Dem onstrated that Fact When He Told
 of "Skim Milk" Folsom.

Of "Skim Mtlk' Folsom.
 A good story is told of the way in which Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he was Consul at Liverpool, tested Tan kee boy. The boy had gone to the Consul's office one day to beg for a passage back to his home. He had gone abroad to seek his fortune, and, not finding 1t, had become almost pen niless. He told clear story, but the clerk who heard it doubted its truth.
 You are not an American" he said to the boy; but the applicant for the passage to America persisted in walt ing at the office until he saw Flaw thorne himself. At last the Consul ap- peared, gave a quick glance at the boy and began to question him:
 You want a passage to America" :" he asked.
 "Yes, sir" said the boy eagerly.
 And you say you are an Ameri- cant"
 "yes, sir"
 "In what part of America were you born"
 "The United States, sir"
 What State"
 New Hampshire, sir"
 What townT'
 Exeter, sir"
 Hawthorne waited a moment and then bent toward the boy.
 "Who sold the best apples in your town?' he asked.
 The boys eyes shone and the home sick longing in them deepened.
 "'sklm Milk" Folsom, sir" he cried.
 "It's all right" said Hawthorne to the clerk. Give him his passage" And he took the boys hand and bade him godspeed on his homeward way with much heartiness.

Pronting by long experience, the War Department has made some changes in its method of recruiting soldiers for the regular army. It has been found that much the greater per centage of deserters consisted of quite young recruits, who soon discover that the regular service is not what they imagined and take French leave on the first opportunity. In view of the nu- merous courts-martial thus required and the severe penalties for desertion, the new recruits are now drilled for several weeks without giving them uniforms or requiring them to take the oath. If they run away in the meantime they are not sought after and new recruits take their places. The army is thus saved the trouble of trying numerous deserters by court martial.

A SOCIETY LEADER'e TASK
P1easure-seeking that Must Become
 Tiresome and Monotonous,


 A bride of the New York season rich. powerful and beautiful-kept a record of her enga agements for the sea. son, which probably tallied with the engagements of others, says writer in Ainslee's. It covered period of fourteen weeks. The summary wal this: Dinners, fifty; operas, eighteen; balls and dances. eighteen; late sup pers, thirty; theaters, twenty-five; af- ternoon teas, sixty-fve; luncheons, for nal ones, fifteen.
 She decided not to lunch formally after the first fifteen affairs were over as she found herself unable to stand the gayety at noon when she would have to take part in 1t in the evening.
 This covers her winter season in New York. She gets six weeks of out door informal life at Aiken, s. o.; goes to London for the opening of the sea son there, during which time she will exactly repeat the New York expert ence. She will pass July motoring through France and Italy, and return to Paris during the latter part of Au- gust, where she puts herself in the hands of dressmakers for eight weeks, varied by dinners at the smart restau- rants and weekend house parties at French chateaux.
 This omits the Newport sea son, which she will take up the following year, as it is inconvenient to sandwich 1t in every year. Her house will re- main open, however, under the care of ten servants, in case she should wish to run over at the end of the London season for five weeks before going to Paris.
 If she decides on this she will go to a ball or dinner every night. or give one.
 This is the actual expenditure of vi- tanty, brains and moral and physical energy which society requires of its celebrated leaders.

 Of all that precious headful While others said, to leave his curls
 Would be the height of folly, Unless they put him with the girls
 And called him Sue or Molly. The barber's shears went nip-a-snIp, The golden fluff was flying; Grandmother had a trembling lip,
 And aunt was almost crying. The men folks said. "Why, hello, Boss, You're looking five years older." But mother laid the shaven head
 Close, close against her shoulder. An, well the nest must lose Its birds, The cradle yield its treasure; Time will not stay a single day
 For any pleader's pleasure. And when that hours work was weighed The scales were even, maybe; For father gained little man

Frank c. Bigelow, the ruined and imprisoned president of Milwaukee bank, is a conspicuous example of a common type. He Is but one of hun dreds of fnanciers who have been ruined in trying to make fortunes through luck. He is one of millions who have tried to win at another mans Chicago wheat pit has shaken several very substantial fortunes. But the more pitiful thing about 1t Is that while most of the hardened speculat- ors escape at the last moment, thou sands of inexperienced and in many cases immature young men and wom- en, with small salaries and often with heavy obligations resting upon them, lose their all. Bigelow has lost $4, 100000, mostly other peoples money. For himself he has only lost all he had, and this is no more than has been lost by thousands of humber folk whose humbleness of position shields them from publicity but not from suffering. If the homes that have been broken up, the bright pros poets blasted and the strong hearts broken, through such deals as this, could be known, the world would no doubt be shaken from its complacent indifference. It is they that have the least and are most in need who are the most easily dazzled by the visions of immense wealth brought before their eager, unaccustomed eyes. The ruin of such a man as Bgelow is calamity, to be sure; yet that is not nearly so deplorable as is the tendency shown by uncounted thousands of men to make money, no matter how" Many of the instances of losses are heart-touching. Rash indiscretion Is paid for in tears and agony and some times in despair and suicide. Hopes raised to dizzy heights fall hard. Such failures as Bigelow's are common. Maybe 1t Is good thing that they are. We need plenty of practical lessons to the effect that success, to be assured and substantial, needs a sounder basis than lucky speculation. It is good for us to have striking object lesson once in while to keep us from being misled into the delusion that financial success can be attained by some quick CT means than the slow cultivation of business sense and the patient mas tery of details. There is a good old maxim, century-tested: "Who lives by the sword by the sword shall per ish." It is just as true that he who trusts to risk his fortune by risk will some day be impoverished. The great CT pity Is that through the mania for speculation, which Is the curse of this country, so many men are impoverish- ed not only financially, but in the con servative, patient business intelligence upon which true and permanent sue. cess can alone be built.

The output of laws in this country will be greater in 1905 than in any previous year. In DO other country is the business of lawmaking pursued more diligently than in the United States. Every legislator must earn his salary and distinguish himself in some fashion. His statesmanship may go no farther than the presentation of a bill which is known thereafter as the Smith or the Jones bill. This kind of immortality is cheap and easily won. The ambition to win 1t accounts for a large portion of the legislation which swells the statute books to bulky vol tunes.

For Boys and Girls.


 What is more pitiable than to hear boy or young man. or girl or young woman. in these great days of activity and progress, deploring his or her chance to succeed?
 There are one hundred chances to- day for enterprising and energetic boys and girls where there was one one hundred years ago.
 No chance in this land of opportuni- ty, where the very atmosphere is . perpetual tonic, in country whose un- told resources are a constant spur to endeavor!
 No chance in a land where deaf, dumb and blind Helen Keller goes to college, where cripples and invalids succeed.
 No chance in a land where newsboys and poor boys from the farm go to Congress.
 Why, the whole history of our coun- try Is the history of the boy and the girl with no chance.
 Power and fortune are lying all about you, awaiting the eye that can see, the ear that can hear, the hand that can achieve.
 No chance. Why, you cannot keep an American youth with grit and de- termination from success. Once give him the alphabet, and there is no plac- ing a limit to his career.
