Not Mans Work,

Moonlight and springtime moods all
to the contrary, the fact remains that
marriage is not a mans work. but one
of his dearest decisions, from which
he parts begrudgingly. Moreover, it
is not even necessary to him in the
accomplishment of those things which
are his work. 1t is generally no more
than his dream Of prolonging through
years a humanity improbable condition.
Happiness as a husband and father
has always been his scarcely whis-
pered prayer, his dearest secret hope,
toward which all his idealism yearns.
That numerous other and very potent
motives enter into mems hearts is not
in the least overlooked. 1t is only
claimed that to the average man his
future marriage is little more than a
very beautiful dream.-Anna A. Rog-
ers in Atlantic.

A Nice Calculation.

A Flemish gentleman conceived the
idea that he would only live a certain
time, SO he made a nice calculation Of
his fortune, which he so apportioned
as to last just the same period as he
guessed his life would extend to.
Strangely enough, his calculations
came correct to the letter, for he died
punctually at the time he had pre-
viously reckoned. He had SO far ex-
hausted his estate that after his debts
had been discharged solitary pair Of
SLIPPERS represented the entire prop
erty he left His relatives buried him,
and a representation Of the slippers
was carved on the tomb. Today in a
churchyard at Amsterdam his grave
may be seen, the only inscription on
the stone being two Flemish words,
"Effen Nyt" Ii. e., "Exacuy'D.

Laws by Which the Sale Of Intoxieants
Is Controlled.

Laws by Which the Sale of lntoxieants
Is Controlled.
The Samlag system in Norway gives
power to municipalities to grant all
the retail spirit licenses which it deems
necessary to company which would
bind itself to carry on the traffic in the
interests of the community, with a
fixed annual return of not more than
5 per cent on its paid up capital. In
establishing the system the question
of compensation does not appear to
have presented much difficulty When
the Samlag was introduced two kinds
of licenses were in eXiStence-frst,
those granted annually or for a term
not exceeding five years, and, second,
privileged licenses, granted for the life
of the licensee. In the case of the first
no compensation whatever was paid to
those dispossessed of their licenses.
In regard to the latter compensation
was granted in the form of an annuity
the three years preceding the suppress
sion of the license.
With these provisions the aims and
principles OF the Samlag are summa-
rized as follows: The elimination of
private profit and securing the monop-
oily value for the public, insuring high
est quality of liquors sold, the reduc-
ton of the number of licenses, the
easy enforcement of the law, the de-
struction of the power of the spirit
trade and the furtherance of all pro-
gressive measures of reform. - New
York Herald.

POLISHING Glassware.

You have heard of many valuable
ways to clean glassware and give to
the pieces a desirable brilliancy, yet
here is a method which is a secret
and certain to give the best results.
Wash the glass pieces and drain until
dry, then coat each piece with mix
ture of half water and ammonia. When
dry brush the pieces with a soft bris-
tie brush. Be sure and use only the
bristle brush or the polish will not ap-
pear. This is excellent for glassware
Of any kind and makes old pieces look
like new.

A FLOATING SNAIL.
9-2t

Peculiar Ways OF This Wonderful Lit
tie Creature.
There is a small Snail which is so
fond Of the sea that 1t never comes to
land, and II builds such a capital boat
for itself and its eggs that while large
ships are sinking and steamers are I'M
able to face the storm it losses about
in perfect safety.
The little snail is of a violet color
and is therefore called iapthina. 1t
has a small shell, and there projects
from the upper part of the body a long,
tonguelike piece of flesh. This is the
raft, and it is built upon most scien-
tifc principles, for it has compart-
mentS in /: for air. l Is broad and
the air compartments are underneath,
SO that 1T cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away it's cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soon
est are placed in the center and the
lightest and newest on the sides of the
raft. The ianthina fills its own air
compartments by getting a globule of
air underneath it's head. The body is
then curved downward beneath the
raft, and, the head being tilted on one
side, the air rushes up and fills the
spaces. 1t feeds on a beautiful little
jellyfsh, which has fiat, raftlike
form with n pretty little sail upon it,
and they congregate in multitudes
when the sea is calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed
upon the northwestern coast of France,
and when they are handled they give
out q violet dye
