Hint for the NeWiy-W eds.

How many mothers instruct their
daughters that they must try to love
their husbands relatives just as we'll
as they love their own? Very few
and many will assert that no such in
struction should be given; but some
of us think that it ought. It is a safe
thing to do-fOr the chances are 49,
900 to one that no girl could ever go
so far as that, try as faithfully as she
might. But she can surely learn 10
love her husbands family. and she
will add immensely to his comfort by
so doing. Their ways" are doubtless
very different from hers. Sometimes
they receive her with cOldness and
sus piciOn; but by practice and kind
ness and loving attentions she can
usually win them. 1t is her mothers
part to teach her this patience and
kindness before she is married. The
art of being a good daughter-in-law is
a noble one, and like all other arts
it can to a considerable extent, be
taught.-Leslie's Weekly.

MAN HAS HOT STOVE IN HEAD
imaeines People Are Always Cook
Ing on 1t and Making Him
Eat, Hungry or Not.

Savanna.-Of three men charged
with being lunatics, who were tried
at the Jail, two men were ordered sent
to the state sanitarium, while the third
was discharged in the custody of his
sister and a friend with whom he
lives.
B. J. Mccoy, who was released, ia
subject to periodical attacks of in
sanity, when he believes he possesses
miraculous religious powers. And
the women who defended him excused
his claims in this respect.
A few years ago he was hurt in a
railroad accident. His lawyer filed
suit, and Mccoy nov sometimes imag-
ines he and his lawyer are partners
When these spells are on him ne tries
his case, testifying. examining wit
nesses and making the argument to
the jury.
Ben Perry is an old-timer. He
thinks he carries a hot stove around
in his head. People are all the time
cooking things on this stove, and
they make him eat whatever it is,
whether he is hungry or not. He Is
always surrounded by his enemies,
who never give him a moments peace.

Hamlin was silent for a moment, not
knowing what to say that would com

this. and yet he could not refrain al.
together from experiencing a feeling
OF relief. Deeply as he sy~mpathized
with her in this trouble, still the man
could but be conscious of those bar
riers, formerly existing between them
which this discovery had instantly
swept away. Now they could meet

WOMEN HOLD HIGH POSITION
Probably in No Country In the World
Are They Favored With Create
Esteem Than in Servis.

There is no country In the world
where women Occupy a more dignified
or honored position In the home than
in Servia. The Servian idea is quite
different from hat of the Turk. who
keeps his women behind shut doors.
or the German, whose ideal woman Is
a good hausfrau. In Servia the WON
an is the companion of the man.
A man is responsible for his unmar-
ried sisters, and throughout the Bal
kan states It Is considered rather 3
breach Of etiquette for him to marry
before his older sister.

Once upon a time there lived-ard
flourished in a small city a worthy
man. He was devoted to his native
place; he loved it's streets and stones,
its strange OdOrs, its smoke. its high
rates, it's Indifferent water supply, it's
clubs and cafes and everything about
it. Nothing could induce him to leave
it ever for the briefest period. In
vain did the railway companies spread
their holiday ARRANGEMENTS before his
eyes; he returned with the more salts
faction to his favorite seat overlook
ing the central square. And, then, one
day, the king of that country, who was
full of capricious impulses, issued a
decree that no n in this little city
should ever leave it again, under pain
of fearful penalties. And Immediate
~ u friend began to be consumed
with a longing for travel.-Punch.

She gave a little sob, her hands
clasped together. The mans voice
%softened, and he took a step nearer,
bending above her.
And yet now I do not care quite as
much as l did"
She cooked up quickly into his lace,
and as swiftly lowered her lashes.

He did not touch her. except to clasp
the extended hands. The loneliness
OF the girl. here, helpless, alone with
him in that wilderness Of snow. bore
in upon his consciousness with a sud.
denness that robbed him of all sense
of triumph. He had spoken passion,
ately. ~recklessly, inspired by her
nearness. her dependence upon him.
He had faith that she cared; her eyes,
her manner had told him this. yet
even now he could not realize all that
was meant by that quiet confession.
The iron discipline of years would not
relax instantly; in spite of the bold.

soldier, feeling the chasm of rank.
Her very confession, SO simply spoken,
tended to confuse. to mystify him.

Spain's PiqeonhoIe Cemeteries

A rather curiOus-and to our ideas
somewhat unpleasing-CustOm obtains
in Spanish cemeteries. All around the
burying-grOund a building Is erected
whose design can only be, compared
to that of a nest of pigeon Holes, often
seen in post offices and similar insti-
tutions. Each pigeonhole is a tomb.
When a person dies his relatives hire
a pigeonhole for five years, and the
remains are placed inside. The end Is
then sealed up with mortar and a
memorial tablet affixed on the outside.
The lease of the p~igeonhOl may be re-
newed at the end OF the five years. but
If it is allowed to expire the tomb Is
unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant. Need
less to say, the plan has some good
points. The space taken by the pig
eonhole cemetery is comparatively
small, as is the cost Of burial. Pic
turesQueness is. however, c~onpicuous-
ly absent; nor is sentimental grief
catered to, as it would be impossible
to go and mourn at the grave of a per
son buried in a p~igeonhole SO high up
that a ladder was needed to reach it
To such as prefer the old-fashioned
graves the central space Of the ground
is offered. but the ~pigeonholes are the
most popular.-The Wide World.
