How to Manage a Husband.
Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Deming are
neighbors and visit each other quite
frequently, and Mrs. Fuller has no
ticed with surprise that Mrs. Dem
in’s husband never scolds when he
comes home and finds ho supper
ready, says the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. She asked Mrs. D. about it
and was told it was as easy as roll
ing off a log.
“You have only to use a little
tact,” she said. “Why, any man can
be m anaged by a tactful wife.”
Just then Deming came in look
ing rather tired and cross, but his
wife took his hat, whispered some
thing in his ear, and asked him if he
was very hungry.
He said he didn’t mind waiting,
and at her suggestion he took his
paper and went into the other room.
“There!” whispered Mrs. D. to her
neighbor, “didn’t I tell you it only
required a little tact?” and she went
about getting supper while Mrs.
Fuller went home to try how that
would work on her husband.
She found him with a thunder
cloud brow, and at once began the
new treatment.
“Please go into the parlor and
read the paper while I hurry up the
supper.”
“Well, you have nerve! Do you
s’pose t can satisfy my appetite with
news from China? I like that. A
man might as well be a bachelor
and done with it as to have a wife
who is forever gadding to the neigh
bors!”
“I was over to Mrs. Deming’s a
few minutes, and Mr. Deming came
home while I was there and he
wasn’t a bit cross, and her supper is
lote ,too.”
“Of course it is. Gossiping round
and hindering each other, I wonder
you ever get anything done.”
Mrs. Fuller had tried tact, but it
didn’t seem to work. Her feelings
were hurt and her temper was ris
ing. She concluded to take heroic
measures and see what would hap
pen. She took off the white apron
she had pinned on and turned only
as a woman can.
“George Augustus Fuller, if you
want any supper to-night you can
get it for yourself. I’m going home
to eat and will stay there until you
learn how to treat me. You should
have married a cook.”
“Maria,” piped Fuller, feebly,
“don’t go.”
“Then will you be more reasona
ble?”
“Why, of course. I was only bluff
ing.”
They made it up, and got supper
together like two turtle doves. Mrs.
Fuller thinks it takes different kind
of tact for different men, but she
doesn’t yet know what it was that
Mi's. Deming whispered so sweetly
to her husband. It was this:
“If you say one cross word while
she is here I’ll tell how much money
you lost on that last deal in wheat!”
Indication of Victory. .
According to a tesG vote taken by
the New York Journal recently,
William J. Bryan will sweep Great
er New York in November by at
least 89,936 plurality. Out of the
total vote taken, 4,358, only 82 who
had no vote in 1896 will vote for
McKinley this year, whereas 295 in
dicate their intention, on signed
blanks, to vote for William Jennings
Bryan.
Two thousand, five hundred and
fifty-six votes were recorded for
Bryan, 1802 for McKinley, and 18
scattering. At this ratio, if the total
vote in Greater New York this year
is as large as in 1896, when it reach
ed 519,296,the proportion of the two
candidates in November should be:
For Bryan,. - - - - 304,616
For McKinley, - 214,680
The Journal’s advanfce poll of the
mayoralty contest two years ago
proved a wonderfully accurate test
of the real vote.
It was a forecast the fairness and
completeness of which were proven
fully by the official returns, this
straw,vote was taken with the same
degree of conscientiousness, and the
figures may be accepted as prophet
ic of the actual returns in-November
next.

Firing at the Clouds.
The latest, feat in firearms is fir
ing at the clouds. This innovation
comes from France, of course. The
report says:
“The most admirable use fer ar
tillery that has yet been devised is
that now practiced throughout the
French wine country. For example,
in one of the richest districts there
are stationed 52 cannon, with 104
cannoneers and officers. A signal
qfficer in a high tower notes the ap
proach of a violent Storm portend
ing destruction to the vines. He
gives the alarm, the trumpets sound
the charge, the cannon wheel into
place and open fire upon the clouds.
The results are soon seen in the re
treat of the enemy in confusion,
with fewer and more futile flashes
from the menacing guns of his dread
artillery.
“When the use of lyddite and
other high explosives in rain-making
shall have been made practical, civ
ilization will have other employment
for artillery than the making of
corpses, cripples, widows and or
phans. The guns can be kept busy
in lands of drought producing rains
and in lands of cyclones averting
destruction.”
The assertion that it is not the
sun but atmospheric conditions
which are, responsible for the in
tense heat is a very pretty theory,
and corrects the long standing libel
against the god of day. Now we
want someone to tell us what is re
sponsible for the atmospheric condi
tions,, and it may be possible after
awhile to get at a remedy and erad
icate the evil.—Savannah News.

Senator Chauncey Depew’s after-
dinner French is evidently not so
good as his post-prandial English.
He nearly had himself carried to a
Paris police station a few days ago
for trying to explain to a Parisian
mademoiselle that he had found her
pocketbook. She misunderstood him
and called a policeman, but when
finally the matter was satisfactorily
explained, she gave the senator a
good French hug and honors were
even.
In discussing a “Bryan cabinet,”

' " " 'T- ^ Sawdust GraUnate*.
Most of the circus acrobats and not a
few of the rough and tumble come
dians of the stage who have graduated
from the ring were reared and learned
the rudiments of their business in the
lumber towns of the northwest. In the
“business” these- are known as “saw
dust towns” on account of the saw
mills, which are their chief industry.
There are many of these in Wisconsin
and Michigan and several in Iowa that
have turned out the bulb of the acro
bats and tumblers in the business.
In the “sawdust; towns” the small
boys have exceptional facilities for
learning, to turn somersaults and hand
springs in the great beds, of sawdust
that surround, the mills. Soon they be
gin ~to- try the more'difficult feats they
see done in the shows that visit the
towns. After school hours they tum
ble until it is time to go home and do
the “chores.” From out of them all
there generally rise two or three boys
who get the knack of the acrobatic
feats, and these work-in constant ri
valry,, each trying to excel the other.
One day along comes a circus, and
the Lest boy tumbler applies for a job
and shows what he can do. Perhaps
he is given a chance as a “top mount
er/’ or the top man in a pyramid act,
because he is light and active. When
he gets older, heavier and stronger,
he may become an “understander,” or
the man who holds a mountain of men
on his shoulders. And thus he gets
to the show business.—Exchange.
Do Yon. Eat Out or Ini
The number and variety of knives
and forks that now grace a well equip
ped and formal dinner table may well
dismay One unused to such a variegat
ed display of cutlery and silver. There
are forks for the oysters, for the fish
and for the roast and forks as well for
anything else that may be served.
There are also knives to correspond to
the forks that may be heeded. These
implements that social convention de-
crees-to be necessary to convey food to
the mouth are usually laid out in for
midable rows on either side of the
plate, f ; :
The other evening a simple western
maiden at her first eastern dinner sur
veyed her supply of knives and forks
with growing trepidation. Her com
mon sense told her that they were laid
out in the regular order in which it
was intended that they should be used,
but nothing in her experience had
taught her which was the right end of
the row to start in with. Finally,, in
despair, she sought help from her next
door neighbor, a prominent physician.
“Say, doc,” she questioned anxiously
as she pointed at the offending.objects,
“do yon eat out or in?”—New York
Tribune.
". ' Tlie'IJentist Is Polite.
A North Side dentist is sure to be call
ed “a mean man” by some of his wo
men patrons when' they learn of the
trick, he has practiced upon them. It
happens sometimes that even a rubber
dam will not stop the flow of woman’s
speech, and although the dentist, being
a young man, is not averse to a little
“pleasant talk” now. and then with a
patient, yet if she persists in telling
him her personal or domestic history
dtfring the .filling of a tooth, hindering
the work, while other patients wait in
the anteroom, it’s a little trying to his
nerves and temper. The doctor is a po
lite man; he does not ask the woman
to stop talking, but says gently:
“Open your mouth, please.”
. There is silence for a few moments,
when the chatter begins again.
“Open wider, please,” says the den
tist, more persuasively than before,
and the work goes on rapidly enough
until the patient seeing her opportuni
ty • starts in again where she had left
off in the -tale of everyday woes. The
clock strikes the hour of the. next ap
pointment. The dentist seizes the most
terrible of all his instruments, his look
becomes threatening and hisfc’oice too:
Please, now, open your mouth very
wide.” The ruse succeeds, and the
startled hut unsuspecting woman
stretches her mouth into an abysmal
yawn that precludes the possibility of
even a whisper.
It’s a mean trick—Chicago Tribune.

Tlie Famous Atlanta Optician
Wanted to Warn Him.
Sir Algernon West tells this story in
his “Recollections:” One day the late
Sir George Campbell, who had a very
strident, loud, rasping , voice, called on
Sir Algernon, who was then secretary
to Mr. Gladstone, to talk over the land
question.
After he had been in Conversation
about three minutes the office keeper
appeared, bearing the card of an M. P.
who, he said, was very anxious to see
Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of a well
known peer who was most desirous to
have a word with him. Again the lat
ter said he was too busy to see him
just-then. In another minute the man
again came in with a huge card saying
the lord mayor and sheriffs of London
wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West
very urgently in the next room.
Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George
and went, out to such great dignitaries.
When he got out of the room, the office
keeper startled him by saying, “There
ain’t nobody here, sir, but I was afraid
a madman had been' shown in to you
by mistake, and 1 wanted to warn you,
sir.”
A Spree on Sixpence.
An excellent Scotchman had for 37
years brought home his full wages
every week, says the Newcastle (Eng
land) Chronicle., Once at the end of the
period he gave his wife sixpence less
than the full amount. This so distress
ed the thrifty woman that she went to
consult the meenister on/the subject.
He tried to comfort her by saying that
Bixpence in 37 years was not a large
amount.
“It’s na the money a’m thinking of,”
she replied, “but a’m fearing that Mac
has been taking to drink and betting,
maybe, and other worldly pleasures.”
Sheridan's Wit.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan was one
day dining, with Lord Tburlow when
his lordship produced some fine Con
stants which had been sent him from
the Cape of Good Hope. Sheridan,
who saw the bottle emptied with un
common regret, set his wits to work
to get another.
Failing in his attempt, however, he
turned toward a gentleman seated
farther down and. said, “Sir, pass me
up that decanter, for I must return to
Madeira since I cannot double the
Cape.”—San Francisco Argonaut.

Signature of
O’Connell and Massey.
Laughter has been fatal to at least
one bill in the house of commons. In
the days of O’Connell Thomas Massey,
who was a sworn foe to everything
.that suggested popery, introduced a
bill to abolish the'suffix “mas” from all
words in ouc language and to substi
tute “tide,” thus converting “Christ
mas” into “Christtide,” and so on.
When he had ended his introductory
speech, O’Connell got up and said:
“Since the honorable member has such
an insuperable objection to the word
‘mas’ why does he not set a good ex
ample by anglicizing his own name?
In that case we should be quite willing
to speak of him as Thotlde Tidey.”
The house rolled with appreciative
laughter, and Mr. Massey never recov
ered . sufficient courage to speak of the
bill again.
Strange Affair.
“It is shameful the way Harmaduke
McCorker has treated Miss Fitzper-
kins.”
“What did he do?”
“Oh, he stimulated her to improve
her mind and then broke the engage
ment on the ground that life was afraid
to marry a woman who knew so
much.”—Indianapolis Journal.
What He Would Fear,
“I don’t think,” said the observant
boarder, “that I should care to propose
to a girl addicted to photography.”
“And why not?” asked the cross eyed
boarder.
“I should, be afraid that she would
seize the opportunity to develop a nega
tive.”—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
