HOW TO RULE A HUSBAND.
Exercise Tact, in Large Characters,
and the Victory Is
Assured.
When the writer was about to
marry, says the National Maga
sine, tin* wife of a well-known
judge gave her this atlviee:
‘‘My dear, a woman needs the
wisdom of Solomon, the patience
of Job and t he meekness of a dove
to get along with tin* best man
that ever lived. I have my third
husband, all good men, but all
cranky at times. When they are
cranky keep still; when they fret,
hold your tongue, and always re
member that it takes two to make
a quarrel.”
In writing to the dear old lady
after some years of experience at
the headquarters of an army,
where I was surrounded by some
30,000 men. I took occasion to say:
“The more I see of men the bet
ter 1 like them; and as to quarrel
ing, you are quite right. I should
like to add that your admirable
advice might perhaps be supple
mented by adding: ‘Kxercise tact,
and spell it large.’ Tact will fvin
nine times out of ten where open
hostility and aggressiveness
fails.”
The response was:
“You are right: we are improv
ing with each generation.”
LENGTH CF A DREAM.
Sick Man Suffered Tortures for Hours
in What Was Really a Mo
ment’s Space.
“Tin* other a ft ernoon.” s:tiil a
doctor, “1 called to sc*- a patient,
and, much to my satisfaction, 1
found him sleeping soundly. I sat
by his bed, felt his pulse without
disturbing hint, and waited for
him to awaken. After a few min
utes ;t dealer’s cart, with discord
ant ringing bells, turned into the
street, and as their first tones
reached me my patient opened his
eyes.
“‘Doctor,’ he said. T'm glad to
see you, and awfully glad you
woke me, for I have been tortured
by ;t most distressing dream
that must have lasted for several
hours, i dreamed that I was sick,
its 1 am, and th;tt my boy came
into the room wi I h it string of 1 he
most horrible sounding bells and
rang them in my ears, while 1 had
n't the power to move or speak to
hint. I suffered tortures for what
appeared to be interminable time,
and I’m so glad you awoke me.’
“The ringing of those bells for
one second laid caused all of that
dream, and just at the walking mo
ment.”
MAN GREAT DESTROYER.
The Wild Herds of African Plateaus
Soon Disappear Before
Him.
“It is stated.” tIk* London Spec
tutor says, “that the quagga, the
beautiful wild striped ass of
Soul h A frica. has suddenly ceased
to exist. The hoot makers of Lon
don and New York wanted his
skin for a particular kind of
sportsman's hoot, and lie rouse
quently passed away out of zool
ogy.
“There may he a few left on the
highest and wildest plateaus, hut
the Boers, tempted by the high
prices, have extirpated the herds
which only ten years ago existed
in Soul h Africa.
“That will he the fate of the
elephant, too. There will soon not
he a bird of paradise on earth, and
the ostrich has only been saved by
private breeders.
“Man will not wait for the cool
ing of t lie world to consume every
tiling in it. from teak t roes to hum
ruing birds, and a century or two
hence will find himself perplexed
by a planet in which there is noth
ing except what he makes, lie is
a poor sort of a creator."
More Women Than Men.
“Superfluous women” are in

England and Wales last year mini

465,758 females—and the deaths

were more hoys tluin girls horn,
the higher mortality among men j
more than restored the balance, I

QUEER MYTHS OF THIBET.
Strange Explanations of the Origin
and Substance of the Solar
Bodies.
The Thibetans have numberless
strange myths, one of the most
curious pertaining to the sun,
moon and stars. The sun is be
lieved to be an immense ball of
yak-meat and fat, whereon the
spirits of departed ancestors are
supposed to least, the light being
caused by its heated condition.
The stats are portions of this
immense feast, which, dropping to
earth, give birth to animals fer
tile sustenance of suffering hu
manity. The moon is a lesser ball
of similar texture as tin* sun. in
use while the larger one is being
replenished for the morrow.
When sun or moon fails to appear
in cloudy days and nights it means
that the deities are undergoing a
period of fasting and religious ab
nega t ion.
And 1 lie parched and sterile con
dition of bleak regions is ascribed
to the fact that many thousand
years ago the sun ball slipped
from the hands of its keepers, de
scended too near the earth, and,
before le*ing reeapl tired, scorched
those parts with which it came
into contact.
JUDICIAL TURN OF MIND.
That Was Why the Grave Gentleman
Did Not Volunteer Any Side
Information.
A traveler stopped at the gate
of a tine country mansion and said
to a era ve looking person smoking
on I he porch:
“Sir will you be good enough
to tell me if this is the road to
Cowburg?"
“It is,” was the reply.
“And may 1 inquire the dis
tance?”
“Ten miles.”
The traveler thanked hint and
passed on, relates the Philadel
phia Record. Several hours later
he returned and the grave-looking
man was still there, smoking.
“Sir," said the traveler, “yon
must be aware that eight miles
from here on t lie <'ow burg road is
a river which it is impossible to
swimNand which has neither ford,
ferry nor bridge. Why did you
not tell me?"
"The matter was not before
me," replied the other. "As to
your ability to cross a river of that
kind 1 was entirely willing to liestr
argument."
The grave looking man was a
judge.
TIME TO BREAK AWAY.
It Was Not Love’s Longing- That
Made Her Speak. Eut Phy

“What is it, dearest?”
“You have been squeezing my

“I know if,” he replied, frankly.
“Please don’t do ii any more,”
and her voice dropped almost to a
whisper.
“Why not?”
“because she faltered.
