The Patient Woman.

Patience is the supreme quality of
good wife. When humanity shall
have evolved perfect race of men
there Will be less need of this virtue
in women. Vow it is chief of the in
dispensable qualities For the Goth
century wife must inevitably learn
that she has married an Unprotected
creature many degrees below the god
of her giriisli fancy. And for the fac
ing of this unwelcome fact she re-
quires abundant patience
Woman's most blessed work in the
world is the long. long task of foster
ing the blossoms and ripening the
fruit of character in the young For
this there is need of a patience half
divine.
You are growing to have the look
in your face that mother has. You
don't look like us boys any more
said boy to his sister. That new
look which the boy noted but could
not name was patience. There is
scarcely a wifely virtue but by over
indulgence may become a defect. Yet
no wife has ever had too large a stock
of patience. The patient wife for
gives her husbands i'll humors. She
discounts his failures and exaggerates
his successes

Gave Hunters and Hounds n Lively
Chase in an English Town.
Some exciting scenes were witnessed
at Stow recently at the meet of the
Heythrop hounds, according to the Lon
don Globe
\ fox, on being discovered near Alb
botswood, proceeded to the town, where
it darted through the open door of
photographers studio. Being driven
out into the garden, the animal sprang
upon the roof of some low buildings,
thence climbed tie roof of a house and,
sliding down the opposite slope, leaped
into Park street.
The fugitive then entered a house at
the front door but meeting little girl
half way up the stairs turned tail and
made his way to the kitchen. where
culinary operations were in progress.
The fox mounted the table aid scat
tered the crockery with which it was
covered, many articles being smashed
as they fell with 4 clatter on the floor.
Then, espying an open door, the animal
made quick exit into 4 garden. Hounds
meanwhile had tracked the fox to the
studio, and many went right through
the house and picked up the trail that
led eventually to the garden in which
the fugitive was hiding.
The animal did not give in without
a brave struggle for existence, leading
hounds Il chase over successive garden
walls before he gave up his brush.

him in a chair asleep. She aroused him.

sAVAGEs ARE LEARNING.

| Rubber Traders on the Amazon Can
! No Longer Make Good Bargains.
A letter from IquitOs, at the head OF
navigation on the Amazon, says that
rha rubber traders have overdone the
| business of bargaining tie fiimslest
! kind of gewgaws for good, hard rubber
collected by the Indians. Fortunes had
! been made in the business. but the ma
! tives have cut their eye teeth. They
have found at last that many Of the
trade goods they accepted are almost
valueless, and that the commodity they
| exchanged for baubles is highly priced
/ by many nations.
An amusing illustration of the will
| ingness of rubber buyers to impose
upon the ignorance or superstition OF
native collectors is told by members of
| the Inflated expedition to the Amazon
| TO build the railroad around the Ma
! deira Falls.
Years ago a young fellow from lndi-
ana. known to newspaper readers as
''the boy naturalist of the Amazon"
earned a good living by wandering
over parts of the Amazon basin and
! collecting orchids for the Conservatives
| of wealthy men, He was later en-
ployed by the Madeira River Railroad
| Company on account Of his familiarity
with the Indian languages.
Wien the enterprise failed he said
he would go farther up the river to
| trade for rubber and the company told
him to take whatever he pleased from
its stock of gimcracks to assist him in
his commercial project. To everybody's
surprise he added to his peddler's pack
all the playing cards with which the
party expected to kill time on their
way home. Wien asked what use he
intended to make of the cards he re-
piled:
why, l expect to make money out
of them. The people on the rivers will
think the face cards represent saints
and will swap no end Of rubber for
them"
Many a tusk of ivory was cheerfully
handed over to the white men by the
Congo natives twenty years ago for
poor jackknife or few yards of cotton
cloth Some of the traders defended
themselves on tie ground that jack
knife was worth more to the natives
than a score of ivory tusks.
To-day the Congo natives are ia
miliar with the white mans cutlery,
and it is not easy to fool them as to
the value of ivory. So the palmiest
days of that trade are at an end.
1t is the old story. The poor Indians
of this country were swindled right and
left when Europe first began to buy
their furs and skins. 1t was a poor
trading company that could not make
100 per cent on its capital by a single
voyage.
Missionary reports were filed with
stories of the cheap and worthless
things, the spoiled food and poisonous
brandy which the traders gave in ex-
change for good beaver and mink skins.
"They are killing the Indians we are
trying to save" wrote one despairing
missionary. "It seems as though we can
accomplish nothing and might as we'll
abandon our missions to the white
| thieves and brandy traders

The First Teeth.

Persistent care and watchfulness OF
the temporary or deciduous, teeth i'm
prove the appearance of the child, ex-
empt it from toothache, and secure to
it a healthier and stronger set of per-
manent teeth.
The durability of tie teeth depends
largely upon their quality, of course ;
but quality may be improved, and it is
a grave mistake to consider unprofita-
bic the attention and expense that are
required TO preserve frail and imper-
feet teeth. Frailty often seems to have
been inherited, but it is oftener a result
of malnutrition from improper food,
poor ventilation, or other unsanftary
influences during the early months of
infancy. It is common in anaemic,
emaciated and rachitic children who
have suffered much from indigestion
and intestinal disorders. Pearly white
teeth are more fragile. as a rule, than
those Of q yellowish cast, and rough

The Sewing Screen.

The little sewing screens now seen
in all the large shops are a boon to
the woman who does only fancy work,
as well as to the more practical needle
woman. They are so complete, and
they occupy such a small space that,
as a woman said not long ago, they
must be a part of the natural outcome
of the question of living in flats. They
are pretty, too. The two panels Joined
by hinges are covered with plain
denim. studded with brass nails or
with gay colored cretonne. In the
small space between them are ingen-
iously slowed away all the comforts
of sewing, while in the center is a
shelf that folds up when not in use.
There are pockets in the sides of the
screen that will hold fancy work and
sewing. The screen may be folded and
placed out of the way against the wall
or in a convenient corner.
