The Wife's Morning Glory.

A writer In an exchange says: THE
finest compliment l have ever heard
told to woman was by her husband,
and he said, in speaking of her: We
always think of her as morning
glory, because she looks so bright
and CHEEKY and pretty at the breakfast
table.
How many breakfast tables are
presided over by women who make no
effort to be dainty there are a
great number who are at once untidy
and even uncleanly to look at.
"The claim that household duties
keep women from looking well In the
morning is easily disproved, for in
many household where the woman
gives a hell ing hand in the kitchen a
big apron will thoroughly protect her
dress, and then, too, cooking, unless
one makes it SO, is never dirty work
THAT woman commits an error who
looks uncared for and badly dressed
In the morning. The other woman
who wears any old thing to the break
fast table, is also making mistake
for that Is the time when the men
of the household ought to see a
woman at her best, and not specially
rely on her appearance in the evening
when the soft and charitable light OF
the gas will hide. many defects

FINAL RESTING PLACE READY.
Phineas G. Wright, Eccentric Bach

bachelor. says he can contemplate
the end with calmness and satisfac-
ton.
Mr.. Wright Is 79 years old, and
worth something over 5000, 900, accord
ing to Waterbury Comm dispatch.
This sum, he says, he has accumulated
by strict attention to details, not try
ing to know too much and consistent
ly suspecting all women Following
out the program which has made him
successful, Mr.. Wright has superin-
tended the erection of his own mon
ument, and he has inscribed thereon:
Going but know not where" Under
this the more definite information:
Never beat by man, but by woman"
The Wright monument is the show
place of the Putnam cemetery. 1t is a
solid granite block bearing on its top
q bust OF the man who is to lie under
1t. The bust is faithful likeness,
even to the stone whiskers now
trimmed In goatee fashion. The
sculptor who did the work was an ir-
responsible person with effeminate
ideas. He parted Mr.. Wright's whis-
kers at the middle In his original
work. This made Mr.. Wright angry,
and he paid another sculptor 5000
to brush out the stone whiskers
straight. This work brought the
total price up to $4,000, but Mr.
Wright didn't care.
In the tomb near by Mr.. Wright has
placed ample supplies of whisky and
cigars.

trouble, particularly among theolo
gians, some of whom have written him
abusive letters. He is still hale and
hearty.

SPOT OF SPLENDID MEMORIES.
Trees Planted by IIIustrious Men at
University Of Virginia.

Perhaps the most celebrated spot Of
its kind on American soil is that won
derful old French garden which d.
vides the mansion at Monticello from
the campus of the University of Vir-
ginia, which adjoins 1t. 1t is after the
French plan to have massive bastions
of brick to make the place as secluded
as If 1t were miles from the active,
noisy student life beyond In these
pensive precincts host of illustrious
men have gathered and many have
left memories of their sojourn cling
ing to the spot like the vines and
flowers they have planted
Here Jefferson entertained Lafay-
cite and the warrior planted a root
OF wisteria which had been brought
from France for the purpose. The
vine still lives and spreads it's ex-
quisite flowers over all the south wall.
In later days Bledsoe, philosopher and
friend OF the confederacy, planted
some coral honeysuckle, the flowers OF
which are the pride of the present
possessors. McGuffey, abhorred by
the schoolboy because of the scores
OF readers and other text books that
he wrote, planted some dwarf cedars,
and that renowned mathematician,
CHARLES Scott Venable, planted few
trees in symmetrical lines. Oliver
Wendell Holmes buried the roots of
an English laburnum bush, and 1t
thriyes to this day. John Stage
Davis and Noah X. Davis, noted teach
ers in the university, have left their
mark in the garden.
Among other famous men whose
names are identified with the trees
or towering plants of this old garden
are such pedagogues as those who
wrote Greenleafs Evidence" Adams
Equity" Vatel's Laws OF Nations"
and Schele de Veres beginning of
the Romance Languages" Alexander
Hamilton visited Monticello In JEFF
fersons time and planted an acorn,
which is now a mighty oak. Mallet.

How to Keep Water Cold

Having tried it, recommend the fol-
lowing mode of keeping ice water for a
long time in common pitcher" says a
writer in Woman's Home Companion for
July. place between two sheets Of thick
brown paper layer of cotton batting
about half an inch in thickness fasten the
ends of the paper and batting together,
forming circle, then sew or paste a
crown over one end, making box the
shape of a stovepipe hat minus the rim.
Place this over an ordinary pitcher filled
with ice water, making it deep enough to
rest on the table SO as to exclude the air,
and you will be astonished to see the
length of time that the ice will keep and
the water remain cold after all the ice
has melted"

The republicans of the state should not
lose sight of the Importance of the prim-
airy election to be held September lst.
Those who are opposed to the primary
law and who fought to keep the forty per
cent clause in the bill so that they would
have two chances to win, will leave the
no stone unturned to control the nomi-
nation. for governor. If they can throw
the nomination to the convention the
nominee will be man of their selection.
Above all, the governor should be selected
by the direct vote of the people, for he
then stands upon his own ground and
can act independently and be free to
give his best efforts to the state.
