The Wife's Morning Glory.

A writer in an exchange says: THE
finest compliment have ever heard
told to a 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 we'll in the
morning Is easily disproved, for in
many a household where the woman
gives a helping 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 mer
of the household ought to see 6
woman at her best, and not specially
rely on her appearance in the evening
when the soft and charitable light o.
the gas will hide many defects"

Cramp Rings.

Formerly it was customary for kings
of England on Good Friday to hallow
certain rings, the wearing of which
prevented cramp or epilepsy.
They were made from the metal Of
decayed coffins and consecrated with
an elaborate ceremony, some details
of which are still preserved. They
were, highly recommended by the
medical profession" about 1857, for
Andrew Boorde, in his "Breviary OF
Health" speaking of cramp, says:
"The kynge's majestic hath great
helpe in this matter in hallowing
crampe ringes without money or petit
ton"
Occasionally cramp rings played a
persuasive part in diplomacy. Lord
Berners our ambassador at the court
of Charles ", wrote in 1903 ito my
lorde CARDINALS grace" for some
"crampe ryngs," with trust to "bestowe
them well, by Gods grace"

Do Men Play Fair?

II men would only play fair with
women, half the heartbreaks in the
world might be avoided.
A woman will almost always listen
to reason, and she knows that love is
not the growth of human will and
that it cannot be controlled.
A man does not tire of Il woman
willingly. He tires because she ceases
to interest him, and he cannot force
an emotion that he does not feel. But
where he makes a cruel mistake is in
leaving her to eat her heart out In
doubt and perpIexity.
1t would be thousand times better
were he to come to her and say: Il
do not care as I did. | cannot help
1t, and | am sorry; but let us talk it
over and at least part as friends
The woman's heart will ache, OF
course, because that seems to be what
women's hearts were made for.
We women pay for love and for sor
row and for right and for wrong anC
for joy; and we pay with heart beats
And when one tired woman drop!

ordinary gondola is 80 feet long and four or five
feet wide, and is fatbottomed that the draft
is light The bottom rises slightly above the
water at the ends, while at the bow and stern
slender ornamental stem and stern pieces reach
to about the height Of a mans breast. There is
a covered shelter for passengers in the middle
of the boat which is easily removable. In ac-
cordance with medieval regulation gondoas are

his face toward the bow and propels the boat
with forward stroke, making his way through

seen that have an auxiliary sail to be used under
favorable conditions.
