The old fashioned diagnosis of rheu-

many distinctly different types of all

Is present in every marriage in great
er or lesser degree. 1t is an inevitable
concomitant of every marriage. But

cases where a man and woman marry

serious trouble.
The average couple are attracted be,

sex, but by many attributes Of mental
and spiritual affinity. After marriage
1t is apparent that they are not as
completely in unison as they were be-
fore marriage. Traits that were hid
den by the glamour of courtship come
into the foreground. For husband and
wife are each the product of dissimilar
environment and heredity, and, being
so, many of their ideas, tastes and
habits are bound to clash. Then, too,
as they are man and woman, their in
clinations and emotional natures are
fundamentally different. Thus it is to
be expected that at times the unlike
natures of man and wife should cause
discord.
The couple who are idlers or one of
whom is an idler find incompatibility
a bugbear in their lives. With real
work-with something serious to think
about and something worth while to
do-they would find little time to wor-
~ about their discrepancies in opinion
and taste

rage, who are bad tempered, eccen

ConyentionaIity.

Woman is much less conventional
than man. She does all the conyen-
tional things and attacks other women
savagely for breaches of convention.
But you will generally find that where
man may with impunity break con-
ventiOn he will not do so. while IL Sc
crecy is guaranteed Il woman will
please herself first and repent only If
necessary. 1t follows that a man Is
conventional because he respects con-
vention. women conventional because
she is afraid of what may happen If
she does not obey convention. The
typical En@liShman of the world wreck
ed upon a desert island would get into
his evening cl6heS as long as his shirts
lasted; his wife alone i'm such circum-
stances would wear low cut dress TO
take her meal of cocoanuts, even If her
frock did up in front.-Atlantic.

Every boy and girl in the west knows
who Lewis and Clark were and what
great work they accomplished for the
country, but they may not know that
when they were starting on their great
journey of discovery DR.. Saugrain of
st. Louis made them what was called
at that time chemical matches. He
showed hem how they could make
phosphorus for themselves, and you no
doubt know the story Of how these
matches affected the Indians, who
would not sell the ''wapato" until they
saw the miracle Of the matches, and
then they gladly gave it.
Before these chemical matches were
made it was necessary to draw fire by
means of flint and steel, and it was Of

seldom went out, but were fed con-
stantly or covered so that they could

SHINING TRESSES.
A Doctors Suggestions About Sham
poos and Daily Care of Your Hair.

A Doctors Suggestions About Sham
poos and Daily Care of Your Hair.
Although it may not be possible or
indeed desirable for every woman to
have tresSeS of GOdiva-like abundance.
it is within the power of almost every
body to have a fine head of hair or to
possess what looks like one, whether
her locks are long or short, thick or
thin, dry or oily, dark, fair or just mid
brown. The whole secret lies In the
state of the health and the daily care
Of the hair.
If the hair is in an impoverished con-
dition, abnOrmally greasy or abnormal
brittle and break off short; If it loses
its color and bulk, then it is no good in
beginning any hair treatment without
first attending to the general state Of
the health.
One should take sufficient exercise
and rest and correct any indiscretions
In diet. Where an anaemic condition
exists a tonic often does wonders, so
will a course of cod liver oil, while raw
eggs and unbOiled milk are articles of
diet which directly beautify the hair.
AS to the general care of the hair, it
should be washed as often as it requires
cleaning. Once a week is not too often
for a very oily type of hair, and about
once in three weeks is a good average
for ordinary hair.
If it is washed at home liquid soap is
the best thing to use. The hair should
be thoroughly wetted with warm wa
ter, then a handful of the liquid rubbed
in. If it does not lather at once use
little more water and a little more
liquid till the whole head is in a per-
feet foam; rinse out the lather very
thoroughly. take the worst of the mois-
ture off with hot towels and dry by
brushing and tanning. Do not on any
account seek to dry it by the fire.
The daily care of the hair is most i'm
portant. 1t should be well brushed ev-
cry night. the scalp being first Of all
treated with a rather hard brush to
stimulate the circulation and the long
hair afterward brushed with long,
sweeping strokes, two brushes with
rather long, stiff bristles being used.
This is to keep the hair clean and give
it a natural gloss.

The Daisy.

Did you ever hear the story Of the
daisy which looks like a star? Once
upon time there was a little star up
in the sky that belonged in no group of
stars at all, but just had to wander
around by itself all the time. Every
evening it watched the evening star
tow the new moon over the edge of the
dark and envied it. 1t heard much
talk among the other stars, some of
them of less magnitude envying those
Of greater magnitude, and the little
lone star thought to itself that no one
saw it even to envy it. Down on the
earth it looked so much easier to get
into group and have companions, so
one day when the earth was swinging
over from dark to daylight the little
star did not try to preserve its equilib-
rum, but just dropped down, down.

twas caused by a hat being worn on
one side. One of his mothers friends
wanted him to marry a pretty girl she
knew, who was very charming and
well off. He happened to be staying
at her house near Vernon when this
young protegee was going through on
her way to ROuen.
anxious for her guest to see the
girl. she persuaded him to go to the
station with her. He went. saw the
girl: but. alas. she had her hat on one
side. i'm the most comical way possible.
1t was no doubt one of those odious
hats, so badly balanced that no pin in
the world could keep them straight.
The harm was done. though. He new
er dared tell his mothers friend what
his objection to the girl had been. He
owned it to me later on, adding, i

Imagination plays tricks on French
men as it does on no other men. This
one married another girl who wore
her hats straight. but whose head was
rather turned.
The marriage ended in a divorce and
the divorce in sudden death. such sud-
den death that it was generally be-
