On the contrary, bo it your pride to
exhibit to the world tiiat sight on
which the wise man posses such an
encomium: “Beautiful ooforoGod uml
men are a limn and wife that perfectly
agree.’’ Mnko it an established rule to
consult your wife on all occasions—
your interest is hers—and undertake
no plan contrary to her advice and op
position. Independent of bettor mo

ill, you liro spared roproaohes both
from her and your own feolings.
But the fact is, sho who ought to
havo most influence on her husband’s
mind is often the person who has tho
least, as a man will frequently take the
advice of a stranger, who cares not for
him nor his interest, in preference to
the cordial and sensiblo opinion of
his wife. A duo consideration of the
domestic evils such u lino of conduct is
calculated to produco might, one
would think, of, itself bo sufficient to
prevent adoption; but, independent of

Ills Rost Girl’s Name In Gold.
A now industry has mode its aj
pearanco in tho hotel corridors whicl ,
from tho satisfied expression of the
proprietor’s (pee, seems to puy hand
some profits. The man does not con
fine himself to any one loculity, but is
now found iu one familiar corridor,
now in another. His busiuesss has a
certain amount of sentiment in it, for
out of tliiu sheet gold lie manufactures
pretty lace pins, tho design of which
is the signature of any fair one to
whom his customer desires to present
bis offering. The signature, which,
singularly enough, is almost without
exception the first name of tho maiden,
is clipped from the end of a letter and
handed to the artist. After looking ut
it closely through u magnifying glut
he gets a thorough idea of the propo:
tion of its shading and all of its chai
acteristics. Then with the thirf" sheet
of gold in his fingers and a delicate
pair of finely tempered scissors and a
hair file he reproduces tho signature
in the precious metal in an incredibly
short time. The work of soldering a
pin to the signature and packing it in
a box filled with tinted and perfumed
cotton is a mutter of a few moments.

Minors and Jury Duty.
One day this week I made the as
tounding discovery that in order to be
eligible to jury duty it is not necessary
that the party summoned on a panel
should be 21 years of age. The name
of my son, who is not 20 years of age,
was given in a list of young men, in
the house where he is employed, sup
posed to be eligible for jury duty.
When I went to sec Judge Withrow
on the boy’s behalf, I stated the fact
of his minority, but the judge said
that made no difference; that if he
was but 9 years of age and possessed of
the requisite intelligence he would be
d
obliged to serve, and that failure to
appear would lay him liable to attach-
!. This wi
mentand fine. This was news to me.
It seems under the law that a man
may be too old for jury service, but
not too young.—Interview in Bt. Louis

How n Pretty nook Agent Got Abend of
n Newspaper Man.
Thoro are more than two nowspapor
men living in Woodsburg, L. I., nnd
of ono of them tho boys told tho Ram
bler a good Btory. It seems that tho
newspaper man in question had been
annoyed by a }>ersistent book canvass
er. Bho was young, pretty nnd tolk-
ativo nnd had lor sale a gaudily cov
ered book entitled "How to Be Good.”
Tho ncwspapoi’ man Was busy when sho
first called on him and ho told her to
drop in when ho had more time. She
did not succeed in sclliug the book on
tho first attempt nor on tho second.
Her visits, however, boenmo so fre
quent that tho nowspuper man told his
wife of tho matter. She was struck
with tho title of tho book nnd told her
husband that ho ought to buy it, ns ho
needed instruction on tho subject
treated. The book agent called tho
next day, as usual, and tho nowspapor
man said:
“Well, I’ll take your book, but 1
would not buy it only my wifo lias
taken a funcy to tho title."
The lady canvasser had not closet!
her purse on the$2 which she received
flu
for tho book before she learned whore
tho newspaper man lived, and that
afternoon found her in Woodsburg,
where she sold a second copy of the
book to the newspaper man’s wifo.

"What do you want to soo hci

"Never mind, now. She’ll bo oil
if you don’t hurry. You just koop her
talking until I get there.”
Lyng reached tho station as tho fail
book agent was boarding the outgoing
train.
“Excuse me,” he said, “but Mr. Dash
wants tosco you.”
“Mr. Dash wants to see me?” said
the book agent, demurely standing on
tho car platform. “Oh, yes, he wuuts
to buy one of my books. I must have

Tli* Progress of Languages.
The progress of languages spoken
by different nations is said to bo us fol
lows: English, which at tho com
mencement of tho century was only
spoken by 22,000,000 of pooplo, is now
spoken by 100,000,000. Russian is
now spoken by 08,000,000, against
“^,000,oor
30,000,000 at the beginning of the con
tury. In 1800 German was only
spoken by 35,000.000 of people; today
over 70,000,000 talk in the sumo lan
guage that William II docs. Spanish
is now used by 44,000,000 of people,
against 30,000,000 in 1800; Italiun by
32,000,000 instead of 18,000,000; Por
tuguese by 13,000,000 instead of 8,000,-
000.
This is for English an increase of 812
per cent.; for Russian, 120 per cent.;
for German, 70 per cent.; for Span
ish, 30 per cent., etc. In tho case of
French tho increase bus been from
34JD00.000 to 40,000,000, or 30 per cent.

Somewhat Mortified.
A number of book men were relat
ing professional anecdotes the other
night. “About twenty yeurs ago,”
said ono of them, “I was employed
with’the Lippi ncotts. Thomas Hughes
was being lionized very extensively,
and when he came down to Philadel-
E hia he came to see tho publishing

said: ‘Now, Mr. Hughes, I want to

Worm* That Eat Steel Ralls.
For the last two years tho Gorman
government has boon making inqui
ries into tho life, history and ravages
of one of tlie most remarkable worms
known to exist. This wonderful crea
ture, whose gluttonous appetite is only
satisfied after a feed on common steel,
was first brought into general notice
by an article in Tho Cologne Gazette fit
June, 1887.
For some tinio preceding the publi
cation of tho account mentioned the
greatest consternation existed among
tho engineers employed on the rail
way at Hagen by accidents which al
ways occurred at tho same place, prov
ing that some torriblo defect must exist
either in tho material or the construc
tion of tho rails.
Tho government bocamo interested
and Bent a commission to the spot for
tho purposo of maintaining a constant
watch at the place where the accidents
—one of them attended with loss of
life—had occurred. It was not, how-
over, until six months had elapsed that
the surface of the rails appeared to be
corroded, as if by acid, to the extent
of over 100 yards.
The rail wus taken up and broken,
whereupon it was found to be literally
honeycombed by a thin, threadlike,
gray worm. Tho worm is said to be
two centimeters in length and of about
tho bigness of a common knitting
noodle. It is of a light gray color, ana
on tho lieud it carries two fittlo sacs or
glands, filled with a most powerful
corrosivo secretion, which is ejected
every ten minutes when the little de
mon is lying undisturbed. This liquid
when squirted upon iron renders it
soft and spongy and of the color of
dust, when it is easily and greedily
devoured by tho little inseet. “There
is no exaggeration," says the official
report, “in tho assertion that this crea
ture is one of the most voracious, for it
has devoured thirty-six kilograms of
rails in a fortnight.”—Chicago Tri
bune.
Now England farmers are proverbial
for their liking for pie. It is a staple
article of foot! with" most of them—
they “wouldn’t know how to keep
house without'it.” And indeed it is
hard to get along without unything to
which we have all our lives been ac
customed. An old lady went from
New Hampshire to visit city relations
on whose table pie never appeared.
Her visit hod been understood to be
for a month, hut at the end of two
weeks she announced her intention of
returning homo on the following day.
“Why, auntie,” said her niece, in a
,f i
tone of great surprise, “we thought
you had come to spend at least a
month, and I can’t think of lotting
you go so soon.’
“I think I must, Mattie,” replied the
old lady, firmly.
“But we haven’t taken you to half
the places we want to see, nor done
half we want to do for your pleasure.
Surely you’re net tired of us so soon.”
“On, uo, no,” protested the old lady,
“I’ve enjoyed myself very much
dear; you have all been so kind ana
thoughtful. I can’t thank you enough
for it all."
“Theu stay longer, auntie. Why
should you go so soon?”
With tho frankness and simplicity
of many aged persons, thq old lady
said:
“Well, Mattie, if I must tell you, I
will. I simply can’t stay where folks
never have pie, and I don’t want any
ble
extra trouble token to make it on my
account, so I'd better go home where
wo have it common.”
