A woman may have every charm and virtue in the world, but if she does not knew how to get the most out of dol lar, how to set a good table and man. age a house and make her family com fortable, she is a failure as wife, and her husband will rise up and curse the day he married her.

Don't marry a girl who is nat ural-bOrn reformer. Before you are married to ner, and when you have only occasional doses of it, it may seem very sweet and senti- mental to you to have~a dear little saint trying to lead you up to the higher life, but after marriage it doesn't make for harmony in the home to have a critic on the hearth.

one of the third century, containing

know that three centuries after the

that ''they that take the sword
shall perish by the sword" Men
nevertheless went on taking the
sword and perishing by the sword
through all the centuries up to now.
