HUBBYS HOME RIGHTS
AVERAGE HUSBAND SEEMS TO
HAVE FEW PRIVILEGES.
Writer In Woman's Magazine Goes In
to the Question Somewhat Deep
ly and the Result Is In
Measure Surprising.

What right does your husband pos
sess in his home? Be honest! Has it
ever occurred to you that he has any
special rights?
think | know what will be your
first reply-your snap judgment, a
writer in the Mothers Magazine says.
You will tell me that your husband is
like most men and doesn't feel he has
many rights, but that if there ever
was a man who was master in his
own house, he is the one. You will
back up your statement by illustra-
tions. You don't like pork and beans
for supper Saturday night, but John
does, and so you always have them.
You would prefer polished floor and
rugs in the front hall, but John in
sisted on carpet; and you like a
lamp in the library-a soft light is so
becoming!--but you have to use an
expensive burner, for John will have
a bright light to read by!
Well, that is fair beginning. Is
there anything else? While we are
on material details, let me ask you
few more. I will be most complete.
Has John bureau or chest or draw
ers of his own? If he shares one
dresser with you, how many drawers
has he and how many have you? Has
he clothes press or closet into which
you never intrude? If there is one
closet between you, what proportion
falls to his lot and what to yours? Of
course, your gowns take up more room
than his coat and trousers, but does
he own absolutely the section allotted
to him, or have your best frocks a
trick of straying over to his pegs and
draping his Sunday suit? And if he
ventures to protest, don't you consid-
er him very unreasonable?
Let us go little further You have
said that the hall carpet and the Ii
brary lights are concessions to Johns
preference. Are there other like in
stances in the establishment? Does
the paper in the parlor and the dining
room and the pictures on the walls
represent his preference, or the heavy
draperies that exclude the light from
his Sunday paper, or the delicate little
reception chairs that are your pride?
If so, he is an exception to the ma
jority of men.
81 wish we could ever have beef
steak and onions at home!" a man
sighed to me a short time ago. cit
may be vulgar, but it's my favorite
dish, and when l want it / have to
go to a restaurant. My wife tells
me that onions make the house smell
dreadfully!"
So they do, but if that husband had
his rights, don't you think that once
in while, on stormy night, when
there was no danger of company, a
dish of beefsteak and onions might
rejoice his palate?
You may tell me all these are trifles
and admit it. but the trifies are items
which make or mar the comfort of a
home. Pass them over and let US
look at some of the less material but
equally important rights Of the hus-
band and see If he is any better OF |
there.

NATURES Silent Power.

Calamities! If any state in the
Union had mad an earthquake or fire
causing a loss of from s20,000,00O to
s40,0OO,O0O we should have stood
aghast. But the recent extraordinary
cold snap in the citrus fruit belt Of
California is reported to have ruined
almost four-fifths of the orange and
lemon crops. The estimated damage
is put by some as high as S40,00O,000,
of which between S5,00C,000 and $S,.
100000 will be a loss to railroads in
curtailed freight receipts. Nature ex-
erts it's destructive forces in many
ways, sometimes with the violence Of
an earthquake, and at others with the
silent, sweeping, icy hand Of the Frost
King. California has suffered in re-
cent years from both visitations. But
its wonderful natural advantages, its
wealth of resources, and, above all,
its self-reliant people, may always be
depended upon to lift it above every

for the present?-Leslie's.

glorious parties with wonderful mu-

transformed her home into Titanias
court. But when this girl entertained
there was always long row Of bash
full boys who sat alone on window
seat, afraid to speak to any girl. This
went on for two evenings. but at the
third party a halt was called and the
girl tried a new plan. She would go
up to some blushing, painfully embar-
rassed boy, and, showing him book
or picture, would get him away from
his mates. Then, after pleasant chat
she would leave him. reassured and
confident and quite equal to convers-
ing with the young girl whom the
thoughtful hostess would leave in her
own place. So this girls parties were
always successful, for every one had
marvellous time, even the girl her.

Vision of School Children.

An examination of forty children
from two public schools in New York
city shows some striking results The
forty pupils examined were the worst
that could be found in the two schools,
eighteen OF them being so stupid that
they were in ungraded classes, eleven
were so stupid that they required
three terms to do the work of one
term, and eleven were delinquent. All
of the forty children had defective
vieior. They were fitted with proper
glasses, and after six months It was
found that thirty-two Of them had
made astonishing progress. These
thirty-two were under as many differ
ent teachers. A report Of this work
has been made to the board Of educa-
ton. recommending that the entire
care of the school children. mental,
moral and physical, be vested IN one
department with single head and
that that should be the board Of edu.
cation; that sufficient number Of
doctors be trained to deal with all de-
fects of school children who are at
present in the category of ungraded.

Can Snakes Fascinate Their Prey?

ton in the negative. The belief in
fascination is general, but there seems
to be TO real foundation for it. Il

writes Mr. Fitzsimons, "and have
made it my business to observe care
fully their habits and ways, both in
their natural condition in the wild
state and captivity, and in no instance
have ever known snake to fascin-
ate an animal in the manner it is al
legged to do" He has seen two spe-
cies, which he mentions. many time
in trees surrounded by a crowd Of
fluttering, chattering, excited birds.
But the birds were not, he says. fas-
cinated by the snake; they were en-
deavoring to intimidate it In order to
frighten it from their haunts.-West-

REMARKABLE GIFT OF A PREs5Y-

OF the many examples OF prodigious
memories which have recorded from

SO remarkable as the case o.. Rev.
Thomas Threlkeld, who was Presby-
terian minister at Rocndale for tWen-
ty-eight years, and died there in April.
1906, at the age of Ct. Threlkelds
memory first attracted attention when
he attended the grammar school at
Daventry, where he began to make
close study of the Bible. When a pas
sage was recited to him he could i'm
mediately give it. chapter and verse
and. on the other hand, If chapter
and verse were given ne could at once
repeat the passage.
Both at Daventry and Warrington.
where he went to finish his education,
his fellow students delighted in put
ting his memory to the test, and neV-
er once was it known to be at fault.
"In later years." says Mr.. Frank
Hird, in Lancashire Stories" "Threl-
keld was looked upon as living con-
cordance to the Bible in Rochdale and
the neighborhood, and he was con-
stantly asked the most puzzling ques-
tions by his brother ministers, some
times actually for information, but
generally for mere amusement. He
was never known to be wrong"
Threlkeld's powers OF memory, how
ever, were not solely concerned with
theology. He was also linguist. and
knew nine or ten languages, while
dates were a passion with him. no
matter how unimportant. His knowl-
edge of historical dates. Of chronology.

Mr.. Hird, would this wonderful mem.
ory seem to have been Of direct serv'
ice. Threlkeld was one Of the man
ayers Of a fund for the benefit CT the
widows of Presbyterian ministers, and
consequently was frequently appealed
to on circumstances connected with
the lives of dead ministers, and such
was the opinion Of his memory that If
the books had been consulted and had
been reported differently the error
would have been imputed to the sec
retary and not to Mr.. Threlkeld's
memory. This was deemed infallible.

KITCHENS OF ROMAN WOMEN
