a Hint to Husbands.

Isn't it strange that some men,
who will be kind and obliging to their
neighbors, gentlemanly and polite to
other ladies', will be so rude and cold
and harsh at home, and perfect bears
to their wives---crabbed, snappish,
ungenerous and altogether %unsocial
and hateful? Does ANYBODY know
of any such men? Not that we wish
to lay all the wrong doing and blame
on mankind, or condemn them en-
masse, not at all. There are plenty
OF good, noble men, but not quite
enough. When they are so strong,
and have so much power to do good,
and win love, and bless their homes,
why won't they all do it.
circumstances alter cases." Some
mems wives are trying enough to
wear out the patience of Job; but
then, in the perversity of things. you
will generally find a real bear of q
man united with a frail, patient,
forbearing and forgiving wife. She
isyour wife, Mr.. Bear, and the moth
er of your children, and probably de-
pendent on you for home and means
and can't get away from you; SO, OF
course, she is in your power and you
can treat her just as you choose.
But if you expect her heart tC
bound with pleasure when she hears
your footsteps, or to proffer you
caresses, or to rejoice in your pres.
ence, you + much mistaken. She is
human---neither more nor less. Please
reverse your situations and condi.
tons. How much, and how long
would you bear such treatment as
you give her? You will inevitably
be weighed for just what you are
and there is no help for it.

"Mr. Dooley" on Elihu Root.

"Mr. Dooley," who writes of the
Presidential candidates in the July
American Magazine, is afraid that
Fairbanks is too reckless a man for
the job. Bcveridge he calls too shy.
And Foraker is too much of an ideal
list. Root looks pretty good to Mr..
Dooley. Here is what he says:
"We want men iv sound practical

FIFTY MILES 70 NOON.

So far as seeing is concerned,
thanks to John d.. Hooker, a phil
%anthropist living at Los Angeles, we
may some day see photographs of
the moons surface distinguishing
objects 100 feet apart. In other
words, anything they have up there
half as long as the capitol building
will be plainly d~iscernible. All this
and many greater wonders will be
brought about by means of a 100
inch mirror, which will be mounted
in the Carnegie Institutions new
solar observatory on Mount Wilson,
southern California. But it is sew
eral years in the future, for first a
four and one-half-ton block of glass,
Is inches thick, must be cast with
out crack or blemish, and then four
years must be consumed in Just
grinding and polishing it. The cost
of the big mirror and its smaller
auxiliaries will be $4,000. A lens
of equal size costs $1,000, 900.

LITTLE COUNTRY wEEKERs.

Bishop Frederick Burgess, Of
Long Island, was praising the
benefeent work Of those associations
that send the pale little children Of
the slums to the country every sum
mer for a week or two.
QUAINT indeed are the comments
on the country which, at their first
glimpse Of it." said Bishop Burgess,
'those children make.
Gone child, found gazing with
passionate interest at a lot Of hens,
was asked if he had never seen
chickens before.
"'0h, yes, I've seen 'em BEFORE
he answered, but only after they

"There was another little chap
continued Bishop Burgess, "who re-
fused to be a country weeker. He
would stay in the city. No country

BE GOOD TO THE CANARY.

Do not use a painted cage. The
bird will peck the cage more or less,
and the paint thus imbibed is very
injurious.
The larger the cage the better it
is for the birds, and if not new it
should be scalded and well dried be-
fore putting them into it.
The cage should be thoroughly
cleaned every morning, placing a
piece Of clean brown paper, not
newspaper, on the bottom. Perches
should also be washed daily.
Canary seed principally should be
given, though now and then a little
rape is beneficial.
A piece Of cutie bone is needed
always, and now and then a lump
of sugar.
Guard the cage from draught,
from exposure to cold at night and
also from too much heat.

California Man Surely Has the Most
Remarkable EeoentrieIty
Yet Recorded.

William Bennett superintendent
of electric lighting in Fort Bragg,
CAL, has the most remarkable fam
lily in the world. From his wife
down to his youngest child they
are all carved from wood by Ben
nett's own hands. They live in a
nice eight-room house, are dressed
extensively, for Bennett has plenty
of money, and they wear jewelry.
Naturally, they are the talk of the
town.
There are many advantages in
having such a family as this one,
for the wife can never quarrel with
her husband, no matter how late he
may return from the lodge.
The daughters can never elope,
for their father has only to chop
them into kindling wood if they be-
come refractory in such matters,
and as for the sons, if they refuse
to follow their fathers footsteps he
has only to put them into the stove,
md they will help make the house
comfortable.
While Mrs. Bennett" as the
neighbors humor Bennett by calling
the highly-ornate stick that passes
as his wife, has little to say, her
husband dresses her in the latest
fashions and has the best dress
maker in town to keep her up to
style.
His daughters hold receptions,
which the finest people here attend.
The sons are well-behayed young
fellows, and nothing has ever been
said against their habits in any way.
Mr.. Bennett is not an insane man
by any means, but knows exactly
what he is doing and why he is do
