A few pointers for married women:
Remember you aro married to a man and
not a god: be prepared for imperfec
tions. Be a companion to your husband
if he is a wise man; and if he Is not, try
and make him become your companion.
Raise his standard; do not let him lower
yours. Once in a while lot him have
the last word; it will gratify him and
be no particular loss to you. Anti
cipate the discovery by your husband
that your "only a women:" if you were
not he would not care about you. Let
him know more than you do once and a
while: it keeps up his self-respect, in
you will be none the worse for admit
ting that you aro not infallible.
The last legislature passed a law pro
viding for the registration in the office
-of the Register and Reoorder of all
births and deaths in the respective
counties of the Commonwealth. The
township and borough assessors are to
gather this information and for each
birth and death reported to the Com
missions are to receive five cents, to be
paid out of the county funds. The clerk
of the Orphan's Court is to be provided
with suitable books in which such regis
trations are to be recorded, and for
every such registration la to reoeive
five cents. Assessors who neglect to
comply with the provisions of the law
are to be fined 910 for every omission,
and persons who refuse information to
the Assessor are subject to a similar
fine. Ex.
Those who achieve most are not always
accounted greatest by the people whose
collective judgement make up publio
opinion. Many a politician whose life
is given up to trickery and whose days
ftDd nights are snout in scheming, re
ceives more praise than the unostenta
tious individual whose honest work and
genius make possible for mankind
achievements lmiossible before. But
for all that the world is gradually
coming to a better appreciation of what
really constitutes a great man. In the
old days of kingly rule, when "the
divine right" passed unquestioned, and
the voice of the people was but an
indibtlnct murmur that rarely reached
so high as to disturb a throne, the
popular hero, the great man, was the
ruler, the muster whose bidding was
imperative, whose right was tradition,
and whose authority was that given by
might. But with the spread of repub
lican ideas, with the growth of the
belief that it is the people who are
masters, the world's ideas has . been
changing, until it is now more nearly
approximates that of the Great Teacher
-who bade the greatest be a servant and
tho chief minister.

TtM Weight of Crowds.
The load which is produced bra dens
jrowd of persons Is generally token at 80
to 100 pounds per square foot and ia con
ddered to be the greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which a floor heed ba
proportioned. That this value may ba
largely exceeded in an actnal crowd was
pointed oat by Professor W. C. Kernot
f the Melbourno university, Australia,
a a paper before the Victorian Institute
A Engineers. In an actnal trial a clasa
it students areraglna; IBS. 8 pounds each
in weight were crowded In a lobby con
taining 1,828 square feet, making an av
wage floor load of 184.7 pounds. There
waa still room to hare placed another
man, which would have brought up the
loading to 143.1 pounds per sqnare foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from
3toney, who plnced 68 Irish laborers
traging 158 pounds each in weight in
in empty ship deckhouse measuring 07
qnare feet floor area. This waa a load
of 147.4 pounds par square foot. In an
ther test, with 78 lalrarers crowded into
a hnt 9 feet by 8 feet 8 Inches, Stonoy
produced a load of 148 pounds per
qnare foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
In. It appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
of 80 to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor
rect for spaces on which there is no
eause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say 140 to 1.T0
pounds per square foot, should be used
lor railway stations and platforms, en
trances and exit to places of publio as
semblies or of office buildings, bridge
idewalks, pavements over vaulta and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather. Engineering News.
A nsnhful Lord of Othsr Days.
There was a young lover who was a
sompound very rare of high rank and
treat abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. - Most noble lords
know their own value and behave ac
cordingly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself so far
so very far below the worth of the
fonng lady whom he loved that he waa
tfraid to speak. Some women do not
anderstand this modesty. Believe me,
ladies, 'tis a snre and certain sign of a
noble character, because only a lofty
oul can conceive the existence of a god
less. We measure others, you see, by
jursolves. It is also a snre sign of love,
oecause such a man can only love a wo
man whom he deeply respects. Encour
ige this modesty, my daughters. Above
ill, do not langh at it. This yonng man,
iherefore, was afraid to speak, and the
lelay, which is at first, I am told, pleas
Jig and exciting, began to grow inonoto
lous. One day they were playing cards for
jioney, after the fashion of their gen
oration. The lady won; the loser paid.
"It is," he aald, "half a crown. I wish
adeed it were a crown."
"At least," replied the lady, "your
srdshtp can give me a coronet."
And behold a miracle! For his tongue
was loosened, and his eyes glowed, and
lis lips spake. They lived happy, one
nay add, though it is an unusual ending
jo a story, aver afterward. Walter Be

The Oatrleh and IU Kit-
I am rehearsing a few of the peculiarl
Ae of the creature which have made it
f interest ever since the daya of Job,
''which leaveth her eggs in the earth and
tvarmeth them in the dust." It would
tppear to be an evidence of cunning
rather than stupidity for Mrs. Ostrich
adopt this very simple method of in
jubation. However, it has its disadvan
ges, for while she is away getting a
food dinner her enemy, the white necked
srow, splea the unguarded nest. He
mows he cannot break one of those
nammoth eggs and devises a shrewd
plan to help him. Taking a stone in his
oeak he flies over the spot, calculates
,vith bird sagacity the necessary dis
:ance and drops the stone. Flunk! An
)gg is broken, and ha descends to his
feast. This is said to be the same kind
f a raven that fed the prophet Elijah.
Sis wisdom seems almost of a supernat
iral order. It is said that the cry of an
Mtrich is like the roar of a lion, and the
3ottentota often run from it in fright
intil they see the bird. Detroit Free

Tobaeeo and Microbes.
Dr. Tassinari haa published in the
lalia Termale the result of an investl
fation into the effects of tobacco amoke
microbes. He finds that the smoke
if the Cavour, Virginia and Tuscan ci
purs and all black and chopped tobaccos
ossesses a very pronounced bactericide
lower, especially against the bacillus of
tsiatio cholera. This microbiclde action
nay in all probability be attributed to
he products of nicotine. - In epidemics
if cholera and typhus the use of tobacco
nay be rather useful than hurtful. To
wcco smoke merits special consideration
