Manaqinq a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! It is an art SO subtle, so elu-
eive, that few women understand even
the rudiments Of 1t. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there Is
a spark of the divine; it is yours to
fan that spark into a fame-that is
managing a man-it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing man-to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we are
worthy Of it. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost Of their own divinity. There Is
room for more than one unself1sh per
son In family.

institutions under care of that body.
The only new institution which has
been placed under their care for the
year is tie hospital for tuberc lar
patients at Custer. While the last
legislative session made provision for
such an institution, on account of the
trouble of the board in securing title
to tract of land which was consider
ed sufficient for the needs of the in
stitution, nothing was done until this
summer, when after the people OF Gus
ter had donated a site the board pro-
ceeded to get the institution IL s. e
for handling patients. A superintend-
ent was chosen and the erection OF tle
building begun. AS but five thousand
dollars was appropriated for building
the construction work viii not e e.

be more in the way Of detached cGt-
tages, at all times than any attempt
at large central home.
