It is surprising how soon a wife
tires of the company Of a man who Is
too much at home. Men are wise In
getting away from their roof trees a
portion of each day. Among their wives
will be found very general opinion to
this effect, says the Gentlewoman.
There will be found everywhere dis
position to pack men of in the morning
and to bid them keep out Of the way till
toward evening, when 1t is presumed
that they will probably have little
news Of the busy world to bring home
and when baby will be sure to have said
something exceptionally brilliant and
precocious. The general events Of the
day will afford topics Of conversation
more interesting by far than II the
whole household had been together
from morn till night. A very little in
quiry. too, will elicit the fact that men
about home all day are eminently apt
to be fidgety and grumpy and interfcr-
ine-altogether Objectionable. in short.

The Face IL an Index.

The face is an index to the state Of
ones physical well being. Symptoms
Of disease can be detected from it al
most before the patient is aware that
there is anything the matter. For in
stance, excessive pallor indicates poor
circulation and possible heart trouble.
Incomplete exposure of the eyeballs,
rendering the whites of the eyes WIS.,
ible during sleep, is symptom Of all
acute and chronic diseases Of q severe
type. Twitching Of the muscles Is a
herald of nervous exhaustion. Widen
Ing of the orifices of the nose with
movements Of the nostrils to and fro
points to embarrassed breathing from
disease Of the lungs or channels lead
ing thereto. Contraction Of the brows
indicates pain in the head. Sharpness
In the nostrils is a symptom of pain in
the chest. Bagging under the eyes,
wheh not facial characteristic, points
to kidney trouble. Twitching Of the
eyelids associated with oscillation Of
the eyeballs or squirting, heralds the
visit of convulsi0ns.-Americ Queen.

A Kipling Lament.

In Laurence Hutton's Talks In q
Library" he tells as follows Of meet
Ing Rudyard Kipling ut luncheon
given to the latter by Richard Watson
Glider. Another engagement made
ME late, and I entered the room as the
party was breaking up. l was intro
duced to Mr.. Kipling, with whom I
exchanged the traditional few formal
words, and we drifted apart, but a
moment or two afterward he placed
himself on the arm Of a chair in which
I was sitting and said: L didn't real
ize, Hutton, when I met you moment
ago who you were. Dear old Wolcott
Balestler, your friend and mine, tried
so hard and 50 many times to bring
us together in London and elsewhere,
and now he is gone, and can't under
stand it all. He died 50 suddenly and
so far away; we had 50 much to say to
each other, and now l have got to
wait SO long before can say It,"

Ancient Bridge SuperstitiOn.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god, as it saved people from being
drowned while fording or swimming
across and robbed the deity of certain
number Of victims which were his due.
For many centuries in Rome propitia-
tory offerings of human victims We're
made every year to the Tiber. Men
and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
lician bridge, which, till nearly the end
Of the republican period. was the one
and only bridge across the Tiber in
Rome.

Remarkable Comedy.

The most remarkably comedy ever
written is "The Visionaries,' by Des-
marets, the protege OF Richelieu.
Every character in the play has hal
lucination Of one kind or another. One
is a coward who thinks he has con-
quered the world, another poet who
conceives himself better than Homer,
another lover who becomes enaln-
ored of every heroine he reads OF in a
romance, another beggar who thinks
himself richer than Croesus.

Christmas al The Asylum.

supt. and Mrs. Wilkins in their happy
way, made the closing days of the year
gala days for their patients. On Christ
mas day they gave them chicken din
uer with fruit and candies. much to the
dsught of the patients. Last Saturday
evening came the Christmas proper.
An interesting program was rendered
iu the dining room, beautifully decor
ated for the occasion. Ella Wyman and
Alma Wilkins gave a piano duet and
also piano solos. Hazel Smith and MIR.
Parker rendered a vocal duet and Hazel
Smith sang solo. Hazel and Fay Smith,
Mr. Parker and Mr. Lawton sang
Christmas Anthem, Mrs Stemen gave
several recitations and F. NJ. Minshall
iE1erspereed the program with numbt rs
fraEn the phonograph At the close Of
the program Santa Claus came in
through the window and distributed
many presents among the asylum in,
habitants, much to the delight Of all
present. Such occasions are red letter
days In the life Of this great Institution
in our midst of which we are justly
proud And our best wishes are for the
Supt. and Mrs. Wilkins and their et-
fcisnt helpers in the new year. Such
program as the above so well given makes
the life Of these patients happier and
the JOY of the givern the deeper. J. A.
