DIXON. How to flanage a Husband. An Essay road by Mrs. C. W. Williams at the Farmers' Institute held in the Court House in Emporium, Cameron County, Pa., on Jau. 19th, 1901, and at Mitchell's Opera House, in Drift wood, Cameron County, I'a., on Jan. 21st, on the above subject: This being a "Farmers Institute," it would be most natural to expect something along that line; but on thorough investigation, I discover that more people are engaged in the business of matrimony than in any other occupation; and it is the hardest way on earth for a woman to get a living, unless she understands how to manage a man. And no woman should be married until she is thoroughly posted in this branch of her education. After over thirty years of experience it would be a dull scholar, indeed, that could not give some useful information. Helplessness of Man. In the very beginning it was decided by the highest possible authority that if was not good for a man to be alone, anil we don't wonder at it when we look about us and see how much some men expect of theirwives. We read somewhere recently that: "Of all creatures in this world a man is the most helpless alone. A chicken two hours old can take better care of itsell than a man can". Of course a woman wrote this and the next conclusion is that woman washed her husband's neck and ears ever since she had him and has made him just the helpless creature that he is. Selecting a Husband. Asa rule husbands are just what you make them (of course it won't do to tell them this) and the better material you have to start on the better job you can perform with the same amount of labor. If you have a bump of cheerfulness developed in your nature don't inarr.v a tomb stone. Altogether he is about as genial as an iceberg and you will go plodding through life with him to the march ofhisown laden thoughts. You may be distinct aud dignified, you couldn't freeze him any colder than he is. You may love and pet him. Its a waste of ammunition. He can't be thawed out. Above all things don't marry a dude; he is a weak minded, contempt ible apology for a man. Clod created him a man, therefore let him pass for one. But one good honest industrious young man is worth all the floating flops in the world. Unless they can choose wisely or learn to manage a man, girls had better set their affections on cats and poodles and let matrimony alone. The Family. The family is the oldest and the most valuable institution on earth. It begins properly with the first offspring. In reality there is no family until the husband can say to his wife two times one are two and one to carry makes three; and the little third party often brings the husband and wife nearer together than anything else could possibly do. rtutual Helpfulness. Every wife should be a help-mate to her hus band. For instanoe, if you bad the pleasuro of a large washing before you, and he has the labor ious task of going to tho city, or taking a trip through the country; change work with him, and let him help you wash in the forenoon, and you help him ride in the afternoon. A good wife will deny herself to entertain her husband, especially on wash day; but some men will say, "when I come to that I will hire it done," We find no fault in hiring it done, butas to coming down to help a woman, my dear sir. who created you so far above a woman that you have to con descend, to come down. Iknowtlie nible says that the husband shall bo the head of the house hold; but it also says that the wife shall be a crown to him anil you know that the crown is a little higher and above the head. Such being the case,come up gentleman on a level with your Wives and assist in the home whenever you can do so, without infringing upon larger and more important duties, Is Harriage a Failure. The question is often asked "Is Marriage a Failure." We say no, if you don't expect too much of it, but don't run the risk of trying to reform a man after marriage. In all probability you will be disappointed il you do. If your husband used tobacco when you mar ried him, the Bible forbids all curtain lectures afterward, lor it says,"He that is filthy let him be filthy still." There is a bright side to every thing if you will only look till you find it. if your husband smokes, be thankful he doesn't chew; if he smokes and chews both, be thankful he doesn't drink; if he does all three, be thank ful he won't live long. It has been said, "Best men are moulded out of fault, but it is not every one that has the ingredients in her make-up to do the moulding The main difficulty is, that people demand of marriage all of the universal virtues of patent medicine, warranted to cure all infirmities. The marriage ceremony does not remove a woman's faults or a man's crooked dis position; they are exactly the same people they were before they were married, only a little more so. Do we not know this world? Haven't we measured it iu the pint enp of our experience and found out many things which our youth and inexperience fondly disbelieved? Have you ever found perfection in literature, whether climate, your friends, or anything in this world? Then why demand of marriage more than of these other things. Behold the innocence of the young lady who to' ( ' her father she was not par ticular in her choice of a husband; she only wanted one who used neither tobacco, strong drink lior profane language, who would spend his evenings at home and be wholly devoted to her. My child, replied the father, "Your a stranger here; Heaven is your home." The New Woman. We hear much about the new woman of to day and I am glad we have women who are not afraid to leave the beaten track of their grand mothers anil step out on a new line for them selves. Informer ages woman was little else than a cook, and domestic of general house woiik. but she has added to thes ■ her persona! liberty and higher education. It has taken this world over eighteen hundred years to discover that a woman amounts t> snuothin; au I per haps in i hundred more it will be willing to give her the same privilege it gives the ignor ant foreigner who can't tell the English language from a porous piaster. Although may not can to vote, it is just ii little humiliating to know the only ones denied the ballot are the criminal, the lunatic, idiots and women. Whatever the all- Wise Creator gave woman ability and intelligence to do is positive proof to my mind, that He in tended she should do, if she wanted to. And when a man has toiled, step by step, up the ladder of Fame he will be sure to find a woman at the top. Asa rule women are not so very anxious to vote, but they do want the men to ad mit that they have intelligence enough to do so. The Wife's Horse. Another imposition that is often practiced on the woman; the farmers' wife especially, is; if there is an old ring-honed, spavined, crippled hoisethat is stoven up generally and good for no earthly use, it is kept for the women to drive. While we urge in these modern days that a woman should demand a horse that when she starts for a given point, her clothes will not get out of style before she gets there. Training of Children. If the hand that rocks the cradle is the band that rules the world how important that she cultivate those qualities that are noble and grand and lead to true happiness. Fifty years hence the cradle babies of to-day will heon deck of our Great Ship ofstate. Let them be well trained for we are going to leave a big contract on their bauds. In one of these homes the unconcious President of the future is perhaps at this mom ent teeth ing and howling in dead earnest, and is perfectly justified too. In another the future ro nowned Astronomer is winking an d blinking with but languid interest in auything outside the "Milky-Way;" and in another perphaps our future Oreat Historian is lying, and doubtless will continue to lie till his earthly mission is ended. flatrimonla! Responsibilities. When I see so many people rushing into matri mony, and rushing out again, I think of that re markable piece of Scripture, "Many are called, but few are chosen." Man is fearfully and wonderlully made; but with a proper amount of wisdom you can study their dispositions. There are men if you want them togo forward, just give them a twitch backward and all Creation couldn't keep them back. Every man has little infirmittes of temper an d disposition which re quire to be managed; prejudices which should be avoided; fixed opinions which shoud be handled with care; but by careful study you can know him as well as though you had gone through him with a lighted candle. The best of men have tbeir failing and married life is not all sugar; but a wise mixture of love and kindness is an excellent remedy, when properly applied and every wife needs a good stock of love to start with. Dove is a power which rules. "All men below and Saints above; for Love is Heaveu and Heaven is Love." So, if you would know the joys of Heaven, start a branch estab lish ment here on earth, yourself and husband equal partrers, and you will have a foretaste of the "Sweet Bye and Bye." Most men are like water, they boll or freeze, according to the temper ature they are in. Soifyou carry sunshine in your heart, it will soon thaw out. Prove yourself a worthy and competent counsellor and he will ask your opinion every time; sometimes straight forward and sometimes in a circle, but he will ask it all thesame. A woman Jumps at a con clusion at once, where a man wolud spend a half a day reasoning it out, and her instinct is oftener truer than a man's reasoning. Some men own it, but some won't; but they all believe it like gospel. If your husband has faults be careful how you broach the subject; some things want doing gently and telling a man his faults is one of them. You would not use a hatchet, to break open an egg, or a sledge hammer to kill a fly on your baby's forehead. So you must not expect to mend your husband's faults by blow ing him sky high. A cheerful wife never scolds. It is said a Drain is worth little without a tongue, CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1904. but deiiver lis from a Longus without a brain. We admit that Rome women have tuultH, such as false hair, false teeth, false complex! ons, etc., but as a rule there are mora good wives than the world gives credit for. Finances. Every woman should have a complete know ledge of her husband's business transactions and j although she does not wear the breeches she need not be ignorant of how they shonld be | worn, if she knows the exact state of his finan cial atfairs, she will know just exactly what she can and what she can not afford. We often hear women complain of the humiliation it causes | them to ask their husbands for money. You are not a beggar asking for charity; are you | not equal partners? Then do it with the dignity | of a millionaire calling on his banker and not | like a scared rabbit hunting for clover. The Ideal Home. The surest way tore tain your husband's lovt 1 is to make home happy. Pull up your shades I and let God's sunshine into your hearts, if you a re not your husbands equal study, and improv yo nr mind until you can converse with him on ' any subject and he will respect you far more than if you spend your whole life toiling and drudging in the kitchen until there isn't cheer fullness enough about you to even smile at his coining. 1 know/1 is said that the surest way of reaching a man's adections is by the way of his stomach, but I believe that plain living and high thinking are better than high living and low thinking. There's a why for every wherefore and the why for family jars consists in not knowinge how to manage. Now we have the best husband iu the world and I will wager ten to one that if any other woman undertook to draw the matri moni til reins, they wouldn't drive forty rods be fore he would kick over the traces, smash up the whiiHetrees and raise ned in general. They don't understand the science of management; you must lead, not drive. The only way is to look humble and be desperately cunning; bait them with submission then throw the noose 0 ver their will; walk around the bump of anta gonism and pat their bump of self-conceit. Its a great mistake to contend with the Lord's of creation. What can't be had by force must be won by stratagem; make a silken rein of love and lead them where you will but under no con sideration must you attempt to drive or they will at once canterolfto the fatherest limit of the matrimonial pasture. Then let us have homes in which there shall be no searching blasts of passion, no polar storms of coldness and hate; homes refined by books and gladdened by songs; homes in which wife and mother shall not loose all her attracting charms by un-remitting toil and drudgery; nor husband and father starve his brain and dwarf his soul by hours of overwork; homes in which liappy children shall ever see the beauty of love and holiness, homes of culture and homes of love.
