Thomas A. Edison announces
that he has perfected his invention
for building a concrete house for
51.2000, which if constructed of
stone in the same design would
cost between §20,00q and §.">0,000.
Michael Gibson of Waverly, the

A man soon jjetx mighty tired of
treating his wife like a god ess. If ho
cannot be at ease with her and smoke
when he pleases and take off his eoat
when he wants to and throw ashes
on the floor and cigar stubs all over
the house, he is going to be mighty
uncomfortable, and long togo where
he can. For it is horn in a man to
like to do these things, just as it is
born in a girl to like to do her own
pet things. Moreover, if a girl has
once known a man in a perfectly
I comfortable chummy way she will
find him worth twice as much as be
fore he dropped his awe of her. Men
are pretty nice as they are, but for
goodness' sake don't try to make a
man ladylike. Me isn't and won't
he if lie is even half a man.—Atchi*
son Gltrtie.
