Few will admit that they need any
advice In the honeymoon; fewer It'll
will take IT, Most young people think,
"Well, il is hand il we may not be left

yet perhaps, II We took the experience
Of the many ou this subject, they
would admit that the honeymoon has
been the time Of all Others when they

10 Is too much 10 say that during
those two months the happiness OF the
misery Of two young lives isvey near

much 10 say for errors and misconcep-
tions may be lived down, and habits
may be formed or broken after the hon
eymo0n, In the course Of years. But
still much is often decided, we will
not say in the first few months, but
even in the first few days. Little things
are decided I'm little ways, and neither
understand that ait is the little rift
within the lovers lutte" that has begun
10 show even on the first day.
Patience on both sides is needed
bat especially on the mans side, for
he is the stronger vessel, and knows
life. At the bottom Of her heart. his
young wife wants to please him; but
she cannot bear him out her slght-he
must account for every moment. His
ways are incomprehensible. Whydoes
he want 10 go out foran hour after din
ner for stroll2 Why does he prefer
spending an hour or two down stairs
with an old friend at night 10 going up
into the drawing-room. Why does lac
want 10 see the papers al the club, in
stead Of going out, after hard day in
the city, for little shopping? Man is
a mystery TO many a young girl for
the first few months after marriage.
She has not learned that mans in
terests are and must he various.

patibility Of Iemper-we believe very
little in IT, The sexes are almost in

other cause You can live with any
body IL you understand him, and you

providing you mean well, have a de-
cent heart and are willing 10 be
patient and 20 make some sacrifices
for love
Newly married women are, no doubt,
very trying sometimes 10 their hus-
bands; but IL ID the fault more Of their
social training and the want Of educa-
ton than anything else. Men should
remember how much a girl has 10

THoUdHTLEssNEss CRUELTY


Most of the cruelty Of the world is
thoughtless cruelty, Very few people
would intentionally add to another's
load or make his burden in life heav-
ier or his path rougher, Most of the
great heart-wounds are inflicted by
thoughtless thrusts, flung out often in
moment of anger, when perhaps, we
were too proud to apologize or to try
to heal the grievous wounds we had
made,
Can anything be more cruel than to
discourage soul who is struggling
to do the best he can, to throw Stun
bling blocks in the path Of those who
are trying to get on in the world
against great odds1
No life is the same after you have
once touched it. Will you leave a ray
Of hope or one Of despair, flash Of
light or somber cloud across some
dark life each dayi Will you by
thoughtless cruelty deepn the shadow
which hangs over the life, or will you

Profit in the ordinary sense OF the
word was eliminated, and yet there
was abundant incentive to the merch
ant to exert himself % increase his
business
The equity store was successful,
was mated elsewhere, and many OF
the principles laid down by Mr. War
rcn have been put into practice by the
great department stores Of today, On
account however Of his personal
feeling against land speculation and
because the store was located on land
which he had leased from Nicholas
Longworth for ninety-nine years, and
which was likely to make him rich
man without his giving an equivalent
service to the community the enter
prise wai given up,
Later in the midst Of various activ-
tiles as a manufacturer and inventor
Mr. Warren was concerned IN the
establishment of several equity COM
munities," the most famous OF which
was that at Brentwood, Long Island,
where a little group Of individuals
settled on desolate tract OF land
covered with scrub-oak, and built a
village community which has had a
very considerable degree of prosper
ity The original pioneers were hardy
people who believed thoroughly in
Mr. Warren's idea of self help and in
diyidual initiative and who in a sur
prisingly short time provided them
selves with homes and some OF the
comforts Of life, Later as a result OF
sensational publicity given to the
enterprise by the New York papers,
the colony found itself almost over-
whelmed with cranks, ignorant of the
ideas on which the village was found
ed. True, however to the principle OF
philosophical anarchism which gives
equal rights to all in natural oppor-
tunities the pioneers refrained from
taking any steps toward excluding the
newcomers, so long as they did not
invade the rights Of others
The invaders unquestionably, how
ever, hurt the cause Of the individual
lists. AS Mr.. Warren himself wrote;

Shower OF MILK And Ice Cream

There was Q most unusual shower
near Rainsburg, Pa, last week, aud
one that attracted the attention of
local scientists. During the heaviest
downpour many persons noticed that
instead of the drops being colorle's
they were pure white. When it
grew a triAe coldsr the drops changed
into hAilstones, which fell so fast that
in few minutes the ground was en-
tirely covered. Those who went out
with buckets and gathered up the
hail discovered that what they first
supposed to be water and ice was in
reality CONCEALED milk. Hundreds of
families collected enough milk to last
everAl days, and others by adding a
little sugar and vanilla made a pals-
table icecresm. The mystery was e1-
planned later in the day when it was
learned that creamery fifteen or
twenty miles away had been wrecked
by the storm, and the milk had been
swept up into the sky by the force Of
the wind.
1t is said that at village several
miles away there was shower Of but
ter from the same cause. There the
storm has assumed rotary motion,
and the milk and cream was just nat
uraly churned. 1t had no salt in it,
