Don't Nag Each Other.
Youug wives and husbands
cannot ; be too strongly re-
miudechQf the probable sliip-
with her in her marriage
her real dower. If her dower
can be reckoned in numerals
only, uo matter how many
wreck they will make of their
happiness if they yield to that
ill temper that expresses it
self in discourtesy, want of
compliance, unnecessary op
position, and above all, that
most disastrous amusement of
“nagging” and creating a row.
Hundreds of households have
gone wrong from the mere
want of checking in time the
habit of annoying as a relief
to momentary feelings of irri
tation or discomfort.
The wife who gets into the
way of opposing or checking
her husband, of opposing him
in small things and standing
out in larger ones; the hus
band who is sneering, tem-
pestous, tyrannical, fault-find
ing; perhaps neither side
knowing the whole extent of
its folly, but just giving way
to it as more easy than to fight
and conquer it. These young
people are doing their best to
dig the grave of their married
peace; and some day poor
fainting little love will fall in
to it stark and plumeless, and
will never rise to life again.
In the beginning these lit
tle tiffs and discomforts are*|
made up with a kiss from him
and a few tears from her to
add cement to the reconcilia
tion. By still more time this
never comes at all; and things
get into that chronic state
when there is never an open
breach and never a formal
healing, but an ever widening
rift and a never-ending cold
ness, Then the two lives jar
and grind like rusty hinges.
The peace of home, like a dy
ing ember, goes out. Cold
ness and formality takes the ercise *
place of tender love and hap
piness, and home, the heaven
on earth, is darkly ^veiled and
the sunlight of peace and hap
piness forever flown.
Home—Woman's Realm,
Home is the habit of wo
man. In the home all that is
characteristically feminine in
woman unfolds and flourishes
Home without woman is
misnomer, for woman makes
home, and home is what she
makes it. If she is illiterate,
her home partakes of this
quality; if she is immoral, her
home cannot be the abode of
virtue; if she is coarse, refine
ment does not dwell where
she resides. If she is culti
vated, pure, refined, those
qualities will characterize the
home which she create?. The
higher the degree of her cul
ture, her purity, her refine
ment, the more will these
qualities characterize the home
of v/hich she is the center.
The self that a woman takes
they may be, wretched indeed
will be her husband, impover-
ished^lier children; but if she
posses industry, gentleness,
self-abnegation, purity, intelli
gence, combined with capabili
ty, she is in herself k treasure
of treasures.
He who is false to present
duty breaks a thread in the
loom, and will find the flaw
when he has forgotten the
jority of them seem to think
they must marry, and all that
is necessary is to find a man
hat is good-looking or rich.
The average girl first takes
fancy to a pretty man, and
thinks and dreams of his love-
1S ly hair, charming eyes, ele-
g nt dress, divine mustache
and dove-like voice. She de
clares that he is too sweet for
anything. This fever passes
off in time, but too often leaves
a perverted taste. A dandy
figure, swell manners and
clattering tongue are apt to
even outweigh a good heart,
industrious habits and moral
worth. Even after marriage
visions of the early ideal rise
up to disturb the serenity and
tranquility of the domestic
scene. Better such an ideal
had never been formed.
Look -for the sunshine, and
it will come. The clouds are
transient, as things of earth;
the sun is always behind
them, and sometimes when
we least expect it the glorious
light will shine through.

Choosing a Husband.
Husbands are not made to
order; they just grow. To
get a good one you have to
know him when you see him.
He may not look like the man
your fancy painted, yet you
will recognize in him^the qual
ities that go to make up the
reliable, enterprising, amiable
man. As a rule, women are
not possessed of acute busi
ness minds, and are not as ob
servant as they might be. On*
after another they will fall iii» :
■to the same open trap, just as
though they were blindfolded
or were impelled by some nil"
controllable force. The ma
Push.
If there was more push in
the world there would be few 1
er hungry, half clothed, home
less, suffering children; fewer
broken-down, dissipated men
and women; less need for
alms houses, houses of cor
rection, and homes for the
friendless.
Push means a lift for
neighbor in trouble. Push
means a lift for yourself out
of the slough of despondency
and shiftlessness, out of trou
ble, real and fancied. Push
never hurts anybody. The
harder the push the better, if
it is given in the right direc
tion. Always push np hill-
few people need a push down
hill. Don’t be afraid of your
muscles and sinews; they were
given you to use. Don’t be
afraid of your hands; they
were meant for service. Don’t
be afraid of what your com
panion may say. Don’t be
afraid of your conscience;
will never reproach you for
good deed—but push with all
your heart, might and soul
whenever you see anything or
anybody that will be better
for a good long, strong deter
mined push.
Push! It is just the word
for the grand, clear morning
of life; it is just the word for
strong arms and young hearts
it is just the word for the
world that is full of work as
this is. If anybody is in trou
ble, and you see it, don’t|stand
back, push.
If there is anything good
being done in any place where
you happen to be, push !
City People Are Buying Small
Farms.
The call of the country is strong
in- the city in summer, says a
writer in the July Designer. The;
reserve force of the people, thor
oughly drained bv the long, hard
winter’s work and noise, demands
a renewing in the quiet of the
farm, the seashore or the wooded
hillsides. Whichever is chosen
it should be the place where there
is the greatest change of environ
ment.
Many people are buying small
farms at a commuting distance
from the city, and are living
there all the year around at a
small proportion of the money
expended in a close, uncomfort-
flat or apartment on a noisy street.
A little careful search in sur
rounding towns will, perhaps,
discover an old farmhouse, a big
wooden barn, an abandoned
school house which may be made
into an attractive summer homo.
There seems to be, at the pres
ent time, a great demand for
moderate-priced country houses.
Simplicity, individuality, and
suitability are the key-notes of
an ideal country summer home.
Let the country house have space,
even if there are only three
rooms—seeming space—by means
of long lines in the treatment of
the walls, no cut-up alcoves un
less there are many rooms.
The living-room is always the
most important one in the coun
try house. The fireplace domi
nates the living-room. It is best
built of rough stones, with a
large, roomy fire chamber faced
with brick. The andirons and
crane were found in the ruins of
an old deserted farmhouse. The
flye-place should rise to the ceil
ing, narrowing toward the top.
Half way un a board shelf should
be left for the display of a few
copper bowls to hold daisies and
ferns,-and later goldenrod and
asters.
In some stores one can find a
good selection of furniture in the
natural wood, to be stained any
desirable color. This is especial
ly good for bed-room sets.

Politics in Georgia.
“I had business in Alabama
three or four weeks ago,” said
Mr. Billy Sanders, “an’ it took
me two weeks for to settle mat
ters in a workmanlike manner.
When I left homo, ovor’thing
was all serene. Down in my
bailiwick, which is as warm a
political center as you ever seed,
thar was not a thing doin’. The
fate of the state a«’ nation had
done been settled arter a long
an’ weary dispute betwixt the
county leaders, an’ ever’thing
was not only so, but jest so. The
farmers had fell , back on the
weather, an’ the changes of the
moon, an’ thar was nothin’ more
excitin’ than a fire-hunt for blind -
tigerB.
‘•This was when I went away;
by the time I got back, the whole
face of politics had been chang
ed. The prophets was up an’ at
the’r workpthe prognosticators
was too busy for to eat, an’ the
leadin’ politician! was hollerin’
at one another like a battery of
factory whistles. In the next
oounty ’twas the same, an’ for
many miles around. The cows
was lowin’ in the night, an’ the
roosters crowin’ by half-past nine
o’clock p. m,, -jest as they did
when the Charleston ’arthquake
shuck us up. I’ve ax’d hundreds
of men to tell me what the trou
ble is, but no satisfaction can I
git. They spit an’ sputter, but
they can’t tell me a thing about
it. I’ve traveled over four or
five counties, an’ it’s the same
ever’whar I go—the political pot
a-b’ilin’ like fury, an’ noboby a-
knowin’ who kindled the fire, nor
what kind of a sulphur match
they used.—Joel Chandler Harris,
in> Uncle Remus’s—The Home
Magazine for June.
W. B. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tunn.,

used Foley’s Oriuo Laxative for chrome
constipation, and it has proven without a
doubt to lie a thorough and practical rem
edy for this trouble, and it is with pleas,

Gave Away Secret.
An old Cherokeo Indiau recent
ly gave away the secret of how
the Indinns in olden times used
t,o poison their arrow-heads for
war purposes or for killing bears.
They took a fresh doe liver, and
then went to certain plutfes
where they knew they would find
rattlesnakes in abundance. At
about mid-day the tattlers ore all
out of their dens, coiled up in
the cooking sun. The bucks
would poke the first rattler they
found with the liver on t h e long
pole. A rattler, unlike common
snakes, always shows fight in
preference to escaping. The
snake "would thus repeutedly
strike at the liver with its fangs
until its poison was all used up,
whereupou it would quit strik
ing and try slowly to move on.
The bucks would then huut up
another rattler and repeat the
performance, keeping up the
work until the liver was well
soaked with snake poison. Then
the pole was carried home and
fastened somewhere in an up
right position until the liver be-
oame as dry as a bone. The liv
er waB then pounded to a fine
powder and placed in a buckskin
bag, to be used as needed for
their arrows. This powder would
stick like glue to any moistened
surface, and was death to any
creatures which it entered on ar
rows.

Thinks K Saved His LHe.
Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Me.,
says in a reCent letter: “I have used
Dr.- Ring's New Discovery many
years, for coughs and colds, and I
think It saved my life. I have found
It a reliable remedy for throat and
lung complaints, and would no more
be without ft bottle than I would be
without food.” For nearly 40 years
New Discovery has stood at the head
of throat and lung remedies. As a
preventive of pneumonia, and healer

Very Simple.
Every little while we read
the paper that some one has^run
a rusty nail in his foot or other
portion of his body and lockjaw
resulted therefrom and the pati
ent died. If every person was
aware of a perfect remedy for
such wounds and would apply it,
then such reports would cease.
The remedy is simple, always at
hand, can be applied by anyone—
what is better, it is infallible. It
is simply to smoke the wound or
any wound that is bruised or in-
flammod with a woolen cloth.
Twenty minntes in the smoke
will take the pain out of the
worst case of inflammation aris
ing from such a wound. People
may sneer at this remedy as
much as they please, but when
they are afflicted with such
wounds, let them try it.—Ex.

Well Help 20,000
Who Need the Coin,
Chicago, June 6.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from Los Angeles says:
C. W. Averlll, who recently Inheri
ted |IO,UOO,OCO from an aunt in Massa
chusetts, declares he is going to
make 20,(XX) or more people happy.
After a visit to his old home In
Formlngton, Maine, ho will establish
headquarters in a big city, perhaps
Chicago, where ho says all who need
help, and desorve it, can And It.
”1 am not going to be a fool about
this,” he said yesterday, “but If be
ing a fool Is being deceived occasion
ally, all right. I have succeeded in
piling up a few hundred thousand by
my own exertion, but can never spend
tho income of $10,(XX),(XX).
“If a man has $600, and needs as
much more to carry out his pluns,
and make him a success and thereby
happy, I propost to give the added
$6(X).
“Another thing, I am going to help
bad people as well as good. The good
poople, churches and respectable
folks care for them, but the bad have
no one but the devil and the police.
“I want to help the intemperate,
the eonvict, the girl who has to hung
her head, the man who has made a
failure of himself. Lots of uscannot
resist temptation, you know.
“I have set the number I will aid
at 20,(XX), but If I succeed In helping
them, I will look for 20,009 more. I
sunpose my headquarters will be in
New York or Chicago, because I can
reach farther from either of those
places than any other."
A Great Family Medicine.
“It gives me pleasure to speak a
good word for Electric Bitters,”
writes Mr. Frank Conlan of No. 488
Houston, St., New York. “It’s a
grand family medicine for dyspepsia
and liver complications; while for
lame back and weak kidneys it can
not be too highly recommended.”

tive functions, purify the blood, and
Impart renewed vigor and vitality to
