MONEY AND MARRIAGE.
BY EDWIN. .A..NYR.

FhOANLA aAAN1 lAfNANANAFAoA~N
The newspapers printed a story not
long ago that illustrated the old truth
that happiness in marriage is not de-
pendent upon money.
A rich young married couple by
some turn of the wheel OF fortune
lost all their money. Instead OF being
wealthy these people became very poor.
"Never mind. DEAR" said the wife;
''you can get job and l can cook"
There were no repinings on either
side and no reproaches. The husband
got a Job by which be was able to
make a bare living The wife gave up
her sumptuOus home and servants and
went TO a small Fat. where she did
her own work and helped her bus
band besides.
Despite their misfortunes they were
quite happy together.
Then came another turn OF the
wheel and by Inheritance the couple
was rich again.
And then the sequel:
The money that came TO them
proved a curse instead OF a blessing.
The husband could not stand pros
perity. Luxury enervated him. He
lost moral fiber. He fell into evil
ways. Gradually the husband and
wife drifted away from each other
she into society. be into business and
sports Finally the husbands inf
deity became intolerable. He was
notoriously untrue TO the wife who had
stood by him in the day Of adversely
The story reached its climax in the
sordid proceedings OF the divorce
court
All OF which is typical.
As between the two. It would seen
that poverty has it's advantages ovei
great wealth in connubial matters.
True. the hard conditions OF the poo
take much out Of life's romance an'
tend TO make men and women callous
But
Poverty endured in the right spir

Renovating and cIeaning.-To Clean
Gas Stove.

When cleaning your gas stove you
will find that a cloth moistned with
kerosene oil will remove grease and
dirt more easily than one wrung out
in soap and water. It is essential to
keep the air mixers. or lungs" Of
the stove clean. for they are clogged
with bits of food or dust the fresh air
cannot mingle freely with the gas
Win flame burns yellow or red instead
OF bright blue it Us an indication that
much heat is being lost for want Of
air. A bicycle pump will often clean
out the burners quickly. When giving
the stove a thorough cleaning boil the
CRATES and burners in a pan Of water
in which there is plenty of washing
soda. If a clean newspaper is folded
to fit the galvanized tray under the
burners IT win catch a great deal OF
refuse. The paper may be removed
daily, and such a practice will save
much scrubbing of the tray.

then that the idea came to me TO use
darning cotton. ] bought two spools
and used them. / found that il was
the best thing / could use. because it
worked up like a thread of the goods
itself. 1t is soft. fine. has a silky
finish, works up like a thread OF the

Springfield, Mass.-Professor DaVlu
Todd of Amherst and Leo Stevens, the
New York aeronaut, who hope to es-
tablish communication with Mars by
means of wireless signals from a bal
loon. have made preparations for
trial trip in the aerial craft tomor-
row.
According to their plans, the great
trip will be from some point in Ohio,
which is believed to be the state near
est to Mars, and will take place IN
September, when the neighboring
planet will be in much closer proxl-
nifty to the earth than now.
During August Professor Todd and
Mr.. stevens will take regular exercise
at a breathing tank of oxygen in an
air-tight compartment to acclimats
them to life in the air-tight alum
mum compartments in which they
will be penned for the greater part
of their flight to signal Mars.
zone Of the things that we have set
tied is the question Of ballast, which

We have concluded therefore to carry
water as ballast, which will be released

"The balloon will have a lifting

throwing over of a quarter of pound
of ballast will send the balloon up
1000 feet"
Mr.. Stevens and the professor have
placed orders in France for a special
barograph and other instruments for
their flight. Ten miles of specially
made wire will be paid out, so that
the two can keep in. touch with the
