Take Life Easy

looked u])OU life in a as philosophical a
way as an old lady of 80 years living in
New Hampshire, who says I never al
low myself to fret over things I cannot
help. I take a nap, aud sometimes two
every day of my life. I never take my
washing, ironing or baking to bed with
me, and I try to oil all the various
wheels of a busy life with an implicit
belief that there is a brain and a
heart to this great universe and that I
can trust them both.
The Husband of the Future.
Much has been writteu, of late, about
women,—the model wife, so we have a
word for tlie model huRbaud of the fu
ture. We say "of the future” for the
reason that if he exists today we have
uever had the pleasure of his acquaint
ance.
The model husband of the future will
walk out with his wife on a week day,
aud will not be afraid of a millinery
shop. He will even have “change”
when asked for it, and will never allude
to it afterwards. He will not be above
carrying a large bundle or a oottou
umbrella, or even holding the baby iu
his lap in an omnibus. He will go to bed
first in cold weather. He will get up in
the night to rock the cradle or answer
tiie door bell. He will believe iu hyster
ics and will be easily melted to a tear.
He will patch np a quarrel with his wife
with a velvet gown and drive away the
sulks with a ride in the antomobiie. He
will never get out of humor because a
few buttons are missiug when lie goes
to dress, neither will lie bring home
friends for supper. His clothes will
never smell of tobacco. He will respect
the curtains and never smoke iu the
house. He will be innocent of any
latchkey. He will let the family go out
ot town once every year while he re
mains at home witli one knife and fork,
sleeps on a curtainless bed and washes
bis own dishes and socks. Watch for
thiR model husband for he is surely
ooming.
Incidents That Qrcatly Surprised a
Visitor From Germany.
On his first visit to the United
States a German manufneturer was
the guest of a kinsman in New York.
Be expressed surprise when, n few
days after his arrival, he saw a num
ber of men help themselves to papers
at an unattended newsstand, where
some men laid down the exact price
of their purchase, others made change
for lliemsclvca and still others walked
away without paying. He was told
that the last named group .wore custom
ers who paid only once a week, but
that no one ever failed to pay.
To demonstrate his contention that
“most people are honest in this coun
try" the Americanized German took
his visitor tlmt day to a restaurant
where both were unknown, and when
they had finished their luncheon the
host went to the cashier’s desk with
his check and said he had no money
with him, but would pay the next
dny.
The cashier gave the couple a hasty
glnnee nnd said, "All right; I'll take
cliHnce,'' and the men started for the
street. At. the door n right about face
movement was executed, the check was
paid, a good cigar was handed to the
cashier, to whom the plot was
vealed, and the German exclaimed
“Grossartig!” (magnificent). — Chicago

Csylon Whits Ants and Thsir Numsr-
ous Natural Enemies.
It is estimated that two-thirds of the
island of Ceylon Is undermined by
white nuts. The number of these In
sects is certainly quite incalculable, but
it is fortunate that their naturul ene
mies are almost ns numerous.
The workers ure preyed upon by true
ants and many other insects; by spi
ders. lizards and ceutlpeds; by rats,
mice and patm squirrels. But it Is
the adult winged insects that are espe
cially victimized. It is probable that
scarcely 1 per cent of the mature In
sects survive the dangers of the pe
riodic fights.
They run the gantlet of nearly ev
ery other animal. Birds, bats, squir
rels, rats, toads and Heards all flock
to the feast. Dogs and cats eat the
winged ants with avidity.
