“I don’t believe It la going to rain,"
alio nnld half petulantly.
“Now, my dear, replied Noah, “don’t

“What’a tho matter now, iny dear?" and
Noah hitchod his choir around sons not to

“Oh, everything, and you know It well
enough, without asking me," sho said.
“Really, I don’t, my dear. I’vo hoen so
busy that I haven't hod timo to think,
much less to know."
“You know there’s o whole lot of ani

“Well, yos,” ho admitted. “It was
enough trouble to got thorn there."
“And It's n good deal jnoro trouble now
that they urn thoro," sho said with truo
housewifely disap

condition. “Whon

there was half a mouse in It. Ugh, it gives

and sho shrugged her shoulders.
“You have plenty of other things,
haven’t you?" ho Inquired with an air of
submission.
“Goodness knows whothor X have or not.
Sham's wife caught a behemoth In the po
tato bin in the collar this morning and she
had a perfectly dreadful tlmo driving It
out. I haven't been down to soo what
shape It left things la. Yesterday when
Japheth was helping mo rid up tho attlo a

seeking what they might devour, I sup

except a lot of onions spread on tho lloor to

“Mayl)o tho foxoa camo up after tho

idly.
“I wouldn't core if they did get tho

Ham down to see what it was and what do

“I don’t think, my dear," ho laughed
softly.
“Well, ho found an iohtliyosAurus In

“You might to bo glad, my dear, that
you hava something to be thankful for,”
he said in doubtful tones.
“I am, but there are some things one
can’t forget. Today whon I came in

his wife, not heeding the interruption,
went up into tho spare room, where you
have pnt those bright feathered t>ird*» till
you can give them permanent perches, and
when I found her sho had pulled out half
a bushel of their tall feathers and had her
hat trimmed with as runny of them as the
coaid stick on it. Sba was a sight to be

wearily.
Not any worse than the birds, I reck
on," grinned her husband, giving his knee
an extra mb.
No, but tbo birds can’t bo treated that
way. It’s cruelty to animals. ’ *
I guess It won’t hurt them, my dear,"
3m Niid philosophically.
“Perhaps not, she Insisted on turning a

Noah laughed

Just then there was a terrlflo bang
down stairs somewhere, and Noah sprang
to his feet.
You go and sco what the matter Is
now," Bald his wife, with tho calmness of
desperation.
IIo hurried away, and in a few minutes
came lwirk, laughing.
“Well?" sho Inquired.
“Oh, it’s only that lubberly glyptodon

wlfo chased it out of tho dining room,
where It was chewing up tho tablooloth,
and X guess tho behemoths in tho base

“And I'll bet aoookio," exolalmod his
wife, “they'll pull that clothes lino down

Listen to them. For goodness' sako, Noah,
go down and stop thorn."
“No, my doar," ho rcpllod, “lot them

“My, my," slghod his,wife, “I almost

THE CHINESE QUESTION PROVES A
DISTURBING ELEMENT.
Mrs. Bowser make no reply. She real
ised her great mistake and regretb-d It,
but it was too late. KWjByfil

as her huslxind—when she even thinks she
knows more—things are getting ready for

“You—you said you were proud and
pleased at my knowledge of things," put
in Mrs. Bowser as he stamped around tho
room.

must have led, and what a glad relief it
was when he found sho hod run away.
Look around you, Mrs. Bowser, and sco
what sort of a house this Is I If you’d pay
some attention to our homo instead of
having your tioeo stuck into a newspaper,
wo might take some little oomfortl"
‘I'd like to see one kept in better or-

of spirit.
“But don’t sass rao back! When a wifo

you out a $10 hill this evening and tell
you to go down and nso it as ydu liked,
but now I shan’t do It. It would simply
bo throwing money away. I camo home
tlds evening prepared to sit down and en

“All I said was that it was Korea, and
not Cyprus," quietly observed Mrs. Bow-
r.
“But I say it was Cyprus 1" shouted Mr.
Bowser. “Don’t I know? Isn’t it my
business to know? Would I be Idiot enough
to ny Cyprus If it wasn’t Cyprus? Can
any human being on tho face of this earth

A Miracle in Vermont
THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A
WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN.
Stricken with an Incurable DIkam
and ret Cured.
{From the Argue and Patriot, ifontfielier, R)
Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved
from Bradford to Chelae*, Yt., and bought
the sawmill at the latter place. He was
known as one of the strongest men in that
section. On. Dec. 10/92 while at work in
the mill, be was struck in the back by a
fly in# board, which seriously injured him
and incapacitated him for work of any
kind. A3 3 result of this, Locomotor Ataxia
set io, {this it a form of paralvri* which
deprives the patient of all use of his lower
limbs.) The Argue & Patriot interviewed
Mr. Hutchinson to-day, and his ttory is
here given in hix own words.
“ Sly back ached continually and ray legs 4
began to grow numb and to be less and less
u able. fly the lfith of April 1 could do
absolutely nothing and wax scarcely able to
ttaiid. My physician* advised inetogoto
the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington,
to be treated, and I took their advice, when
I left home my friend* bode me good-bye,
never expecting to see me alive again.
The physicians at the hospital told me that
iny ca:.c wa* a Ncriou* one and I wus com-
idcb'ly discouraged. I remained Ht the
hospital seven weeks and took the medicines
which the doctors gave me. I felt better at
the hospital and thought that I wan recover
ing, ana went home to continue their treat
ment, which I did for two mouths, and also
had an electric battery under their advice.
The improv* merit, however,did not continue
and I began to give up hope. August 1st,
1893,1 could not get out of my chair without
assistance, and if I got down upon the floor, I
could not get up alone. About this time I
chanced to read an account of the wonder
ful curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink
Fills for Paid People in cases similar to my
own. I did not have anr faith in the Pills
but thought a trial could do no harm, bo I
bought some without telling anyone what I
was going to do. After I had been taking
them some time I found that, for the first time
in months I was able to walk down to the
post office, and my neighbors began to dis
cuss the marked improvement in my health.
As I continued the medicine I continued to
improve, and soon recommenced work
in tiie mill, at first veiy lightly, and in
creasing as I wav able and as I gained in
health and spirits, and now for the past
thres months I have been working ten hours
per day almost is steadily as I if hr did.
I feel well, eat well and sleep aa well as I
ever did find I have no pain anywhere."
The reporter talked with several other gen
tlemen in regard to the case of Mr. Hutcnin-
H>n, who stated that any statement he might
Inttke would be entitled to entire credence.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new / life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for
<0o. per box, or 6 boxes for $2.50.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowser had finished din
ner and woro seated In tho book parlor,
whon Mr. Bowser laid aside the paper ho
had boon glancing over.
"Pltklns was In tho offlco this after
noon, and tho ohnugo In him Is something
amazing.”
“Yos," replied Mrs. Bowser.
“1 couldn’t help but pity him, though I
know ho is all to blame. There's no
doubt ho drovo Mrs. Pltklns into running
away."
°l think ho did."
“Thoy soy ho was n regular domestic ty
rant. Ho know it all and wouldn’t ac
knowledge that sho had common sonso. If
ho gave her $1, ho oxpoeted her to mako it
go ah far as $10, nnd ho was constantly
taunting hor that sho was no housekeeper. ,r
“I'vo heard so," remarked Mrs. Bowser.
“That’s tho way with sumo men, aud I
wonder that their wives stand It so long.
By what right does a husband boss a wife?
Matrimony is an equal partnership, as I
understand It. Tlio wifo lias all tlio rights
of a husband, and In most cases she Is Just
m Intelligent and possessed of just os good
Judgment. By what legal or moral right
does a husband baud Ills wifo $1 for pin
money, and tlion go out nnd squander $0
for his own selfish pleasures?"
“X don’t know," admitted Mrs. Bow-
sor, who was wishing tho conversation had
taken somo other turn.
“Asa matter of fact—as a matter of
fact and right, Mrs. Bowser—you havo ns
much right to our money ns I have, naif
of It belongs to you. Instead of coaxing
and begging for monoy, you should de
mand it."
Yes," vory doubtfully.
X know men," continued Mr. Bowser
M ho warmed up to his subject, “who aro
jonlous of tholr wives’ intelligence, and
who sit down on thorn at ovory opportuni
ty. Thunk heaven I am not of that sort! I
havo always boon proud and pleased at
yourgcnoral knowledge of things. Tho
foot that you aro about as woll posted as I
am makes mo proud."
“Does It?" asked Mrs, Bowser, with a
Mush and a smile.
“Of course it does I I sometimes find
that you are a bit ahead of mo on things,
and that pleane* mo the moro. If I can
loom anything from you, I shall bo glad
of it."
“Won’t you get mod if I toll you whero
you woro wrong in talking to Mr. Abner
last evening about tlio Chinese?"
“No, of ooureo not If I am in tho
wrong, I want to bo set right Wlmfc was
ill"
"You said tho war was caused by a dis
pute over tho Island of Cyprus."
“Yen, aud I didn’t say it without know
ing what X was talking about"
“Tbo tmublo arose over Korea, my doar.

Korea la"—-
“Mrs. Bowser, do you suppose I’vo lived
for 49 years without knowing where tho
Islam! of Cyprus L?" interrupted Mr. Bow
ser as ho flushed up.
"You know, of course, and it was prob
ably a slip of tho tonguo when you Bald
that tho JapanoA) and Chinese got into a
dispute over it"
“Never! There was no slip about It! X
am not in tho habit of making slips when
talking history. Tlio dispute began over
tho Island of Cyprus."
“Don’t you remember when Turkey
ceded that island to Knglaud?"
“No, ma’am, X don’t, nor does any ono
elsel The dispute began over Cyprus and
Korea lmd nothing to do with It. The idea
of your trying topo*t mo on current events

“But right hero in tho paper, Mr. Bow-
eor, Is news from Korea in connection with
tlio war."
“I can’t help what is in the paper!

of 40, with slclo whiskers, looked up from

replied:
“Yos, sir, for myself and wifo, and not
only that, but I don’t want a room on tho
seventh floor, sovoral blocks away from

bridal chambors I want tho best one. I
make no bones of it. No, sir," ho Wont
on, with au autlioritativo wave of Ills
hand. “X was married at noon today, and

“Nothing, sir," replied tho clerk as he
closed tlio ledger that ho had boon rapidly
