Good Housekeepinq.

There is no preservative of love in
married life so sure as good house
keeping; and there is no profession so
absorbing, and demanding preparation
and skill, as that of the housewife.
When young woman marries she as
really enters upon the practice of a
life profession as does a young man
when he is admitted to the bar, or
graduates physician, after three or
four years spent in preparation. The
man is willing to equip himself fully
for his part of the partnership. Does

to take the place of the second part

A temperance crusade in England
seems to have taken on much the
same aspect as many famous recent
court trials, inasmuch as it is largely
a matter of expert opinion. The tenn
perance leaders were somewhat set
back by a manifesto published in The
London Lancet, the great medical
publication of England, in which 16
eminent professors and practitioners
testified, over their own names, that
alcohol has valuable qualities as food
and medicine, giving that article a
strong recommendation fer usefulness
and merit. Now the temperance men
are trying to get testimonial to the
opposite effect from the same or
larger number of equally prominent
professionals. But would not such
procedure leave the matter just about
where it was before, asks the Troy
Times, with the public compelled to
make up its mind solely on its own
construction of testimony made addi-
tionally confusing because doctors OF
such standing so utterly disagree?
And where does moral suasion come
in?

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Stern Laws of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged a clerk on &C
count o. neglect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also religious man,
maintained that 'if Moses had known
that man had to pay 5000 gulden
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in IA
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right of
the clerk without the consent of the
employer"
