ANNE OF. BOHEMIA

Anne of Bohemia was the daughter of Emperor Charles ", and was born about 1867. She was married to Rich ard H., of England when she was fif- teen years of age. This was just after the insurrection of Wat Tyler. and the executions of the poor and oppressed people who had taken part with him in the rebellion had been bloody and ba.rbarous beyond all precedent, even in that bloody age. At the young queens earnest request a general par don was granted by the king. This mediation obtained for Richard s bride the title of "The Good Queen Anne" Never did she forfeit the ap- pe1lation, or lose the love of her sub jects. She was the first of that illus trious band Of princesses who were the nursing mothers of the Reforma- tion," and by her influence the life of Wickliffe was saved when in great danger at the council of Lambeth in 1882. Anne died in 1894 without chil- dren, and from the time of her de- cease "all good angels seem to bave abandoned her weak and unfortunate husband

SALARIES FOR WIVES.

A Chicago club woman wants the Federated Women's Clubs to demand of the legislatures of all the states wives a, salary.
 Nine-tenths of the wives of the country aHe home women, declares the author of this proposition, and have no property rights whatsoever. The husband can dictate just how much she shall spend. If he wants to buy pair of expensive trousers, he can do it without consulting her; but if she wears the trousers he reserves the right to regulate the cost.
 Manifestly this is unfair. Without money of her own to spend as she pleases, and, above all, without inde- pendence from her husbands domina- ton, woman can never be a man among men in the woman'S clubs. She can never go gadding about to con- ventions, resolving things and. de- manding the emancipation of women who don't want to be emancipated for that sweet dependence in love which i is the sacredest part of a woman's nature But she cannot clip her hair and split her skirts and stand before the world as an example that woman is equal to man in all things not while she must go to her husband for permission to buy a pair of half hose or a red necktie.
 Formerly" urges the author o1 this proposition, Husbands were held
 by beauty and sweet disposition While those attributes were com mendable, the husband today wants something more; he wants his wife to know who is mayor"
 It would be interesting to have ar
 estimate of the regular salary sup | posed to be required by a woman tc l enable her to know who is mayor. | would be even more interesting tC
 know why the beauty and sweet dis
 position that once held husband
 seem now to be deemed insufficient. l When, women abandon love ana
 their own natural graces as their in
 strument of power over their hgs
 bands, and resort to laws, they hat
 better see to it that the laws are goot
 and strong.--The Christian Herald.

ETIQUETTE

A guest for dinner who is prevent ed by circumstances beyond his con- trol from reaching the house on time takes his place unobtrusively, with a word of excuse to his hostess, and goes on with the dinner at whatever stage it happens to be.
 Ril1a: It is all right for you to ask a boy to go to the party with you, since the girls are arranging it and all of them are to invite their escorts. You should, however, ask the loy who has extended courtesies to you instead of the one you like better, but who has paid no attention to you. The first advances must come from him. A simple way of overcoming the diff culty of the railroad tickets is to send one of the girls to the station on the day before the picnic and let her buy tickets for the whole crowd. You can tell the boys that all the tickets have been purchased, and girl who sits near the front of the car can hand all of them to the conductor.
 1 Mrs. E.: In any public place lady's feet should rest flat on the floor and close together. The knees or ankles
 should not be crossed. |

How to Develop a Good Memory.


 In an article about James Horgan and his great memory in the American Magazine, writer says:
 ".Attention comes first Morgan told me. When you meet man. look SQuarely into his face for a second and forget everything else in the world. Etch his features into your brain; you can do it if you will keep practicing.
 Tt isn't enough to catch name so that you can pronounce 1t. You must learn to see it. You must visualize 1t 50 that it appears in your brain as clearly as if it were printed on paper before your eyes. A trained memory is packed full of double exposures to use photographers term.'"
