your married lifo, tlmt tlmt will be nil.
irenpntly, however, there in n dninnnd
for rnK"i ntpplmldiir, pull and whiRk
broom. Those also yon got out and re
turn to your work.
"Fun," riilld Hum, "whnre have you
hidilcii my brush? It wan in tho toolbox
right in tho left hand corner, nnd it is
gone. 801110 one must hnvo taken it"
Agtiiu you leave your tnslc nnd go up
KtnliH or down ntuirs to the pluco whonce
conuith tho plnint und bohold tlio brush

qnito in tlievinibloueighlinrhoodof that

tho door: "Whoro can I find a box tho
right Rize to Ret 011 the itnitu, ru Hint I
can put Rome brairda ncrosa on which to
Rtnnd the Rtopluddoi ?"
Yon think a minute, and yon know
that the only box nvuiliiblo Ih 0110 filled
with odds and ondg of needful kitchen
things, but you reHlgnedly lay thorn all
out on tho floor and give Barn the box,
catching at the Rnme inomout a look
which reveals that ho is about to ask
you for the board. There are only two
long boards on the promises, and those
form a walk in tlio backyard. Still they
can be takon up, and they nro but it
entails vigorous brushing and cleansing.
Then for a time Snm vanishes, and all
is Beroue, but not for long. Thero are a
clatter of boards aud notes of masculine
trouble, which you ignore, until, And
lug that it is not a tiny for taking
hints, 8am calls again, "Fan, will yon
please come and steady this thing, or
I'll break my neck. " Of course you go,
and of course yon And that he has not
already brokan it. Yon get odds and
ends of things together to even up and
strengthen his rickety scaffolding, and
then you sit on a step with your head
up betweon the boards to stonily the lad
dor, except when you vary it by hand
ing a pasty rag, or a brush, or a match
for his pipe. Then is the time you say,
"To man and helper, three hours," and
get your revenge, for Sam really sees
the point.
Now, it is a strange thing that it is
always "man and helper." If a woman
undertakes anything, as a rule she goes
ahead and gets her things together and
does it all by herself, but if a man starts
any task not in the line of his ordinary
business he will manage to draw to
hlniHolf the Bssistniico of every woman
within call. If it is driving nails, some
one must hand the nails to him j wom
an would keep them In her pocket or
mouth. If be Is riveting something, the
woman must hold the other hammer on
the under side and get in her arm the
jar of the stroke. If ho even mends his
flshrod or ties his flies, she must bold
the w xod thread or turn the rod with
both hands. I do not see how any mar
ried woman oan doubt the truth of the
Scriptures. Why, to her, the fifteenth
and eighteenth versos of the second
chapter of Genesis sot the seal of truth
fulness upon the whole. When man was
made and put in the garden of Eden to
tend It, he hadn't been there a day be
fore woman had to be made to help
him. He couldn't get along alone at all.
Fancy him starting out to sow his rad
ish seed and having nobody to ask how
far she thought he ought to put the rows
apart, so ha could put them soma other
distance. It must have been awful I
Poor Eve 1 For of all conditions of
"helper" that of the gardener's helper
is the worst. It is easy to imagine her
her day's work over, as she supposes
planning for a quiet rest upon a cool
green bank through the long summer
twilight Along comes Adam, belated
in his work, because he had been cast
ing his line from shady nooks into deep,
mossy pools, where the speckled trout
are lying, and he says to Eve: "My
dear, won't yon come along with ma in
to the garden t I haven't seen anything
of my darling all day. Yon can sit on a
nice soft stone in the path while I
work," And poor, easily beguiled by
love Eve gets up and follows right along,
but, alas, the stone has not changed its
nature any more than Adam has. It is
not soft, and perhaps that is the reason
why Adam does not keep her sitting
there long. Good, kind Adamt Be
wants the rake, and it is down at the
house, or maybe it was a bower, and aha
may as well bring along a measuring
line,, of which also she may hold one end
When she gets back. And then as Adam
gets absorbed he absorbs more and more
of Eva. She rakes up the weeds which
ha has hoed out Sha holds up tba vines
whioh be ties to the trellis. She trots
back and forth for the primitive imple
ments, nnd she smiles, ns If she enjoyed
it, lint it is a wmtry woman who, ns
dusk J-1 olds to darkness, nocoinp:uiies
Adam to ti e house, binning tiutiirrons
odds mill ends. It is her ciiiiinniisiititm,
ns slid KicclH Abel mid his wife, who nre
waiting for her, to hear Ailiitn telling
bis sun, "I've itonn a lot in tlio uttrileti
lottiKht. I think I'll lay nlT in the mid
dle of the day tomorrow nnd take a try

DISLIKE NEW CLOTHES.
Trainers of AnlttiaH Run ltlfikn In Appear
ing In Thrin.
"It is a Rtrnngn thing," Raid a well
known trainer of nninmls, "how many
outbreaks and accidents have resulted
from a trainer wearing n Ktrattge cos
tume. Quite recently a lady performer
who had mmlu some alterations lu her
dress had a narrow esctipn. The tignr
with whom she usually appeared turn
ed sulky from the start, and nt last ab
solutely refused to do mm of the tricks.
Its mistress nrsed nnd threatened to no
purpose, end (limlly nttempted to use
the w hip. The moment sho attempted
to do so the infuriated nninial flew at
her, and if it had not been for it boar
hound which was performing with tboni,
Miss 8. would probably havo lest her
life. The brave dog snapped nt tho tiger
nnd distracted its attention until his
mistress hud succeeded in making her
escape. Uiifoitnnatnly ho was injured
by tho liner's claws."
"How do you arennnt for HUnh out
bursts T"
"Tho tiger evident ly did not recognize
his mistress in her chungo of costume.
As a rule, very few alterations are made,
Tho Maine dog alwnys appears in the
snme net, and so on, tho idea of ac
quaintanceship aud familiarity thus be
ing maintained. Why, even if a hat or
a wrap happens to lie within reach out
side the arena the animal is snro to see
it at once, and if it can got nt it will
promptly tour it to pieces. "
"Iiiive there boon many such acci
dents recently?"
"About a year ago a lion tamer in
New York wore a full dress suit instead
of his nsual niilitury costume at one of
the performances. As soon as the lion
snw tho change of clothing he mado di
rect nt him. Now lions do not, like
tigers, try to kill instantly, bnt strike
out with thoir paws to knock their eno
my down. In this case the lion's olaws
oaught the trainer's face, inflicting se
vere injuries. But he is still at tho busi
ness, thuugh tho scars of the struggle
are very plainly visible."
"Do these outbursts ever have fatal
results?"
"Somotimes. Another lady performer
mado an alteration in her dress that dis
pleased the tigor with whom she was
acting, whereupon the savage beast
pounced upon her, killing her instantly.
This animal has never been allowed to
perform since. "Nineteenth Century.
Quaint Shops.
Every shop in Mexico bears a titla
This custom has it humorous side.
"The Storo of the Two Hemispheres"
may be no more than three yards square,
while "The Magazine of the Globe"
carries a stock worth about 6.
Bnt in the larger cities there are num
bers of finely stocked emporiums of vari
ous classes of goods. In all the mercan
tile establishments there is the singular
custom of pelon, whioh apparently coun
terbalances any attempt at overcharging
on the part of the proprietors.
When you become a regular customer,
a tiny tin cylinder is providod and hung
up in the shop in full view of every
body, marked with your name and your
number.
Every time that yon make a purchase
a bean is dropped down into the cylinder,
and at stuted times these are all counted,
and for every 16 or 17, depending upon
the generosity of the firm, yon are al
lowed threepence in money or goods.
This custom must be one of great an
tiquity. London Correspondent
A Kval Coamatle,
To Berlin faotory girl belongs the
credit of having found a new cosmetic.
It had been noticed for a long time that
very Saturday she would complain
about toothache, which always entirely
disappeared by Sunday morning. As
sura as Saturday came around she would
be seen with her faoa swathed In band
ages, but otherwise attending to her
duties as nsual. Finally the people be
came curious as to what caused this reg
ular recurrence of the evil, and one day
the foreman in the factory loosened her
bandage, and, lo I there wore two strips
of mustard plaster on her cheeks. After
close questioning she confessed that she
had done the same thing every Saturday
in order to have nloa red cheeks when
going to church on Sunday morning.
The plasters hurt her somewhat, but
aha preferred a little pain in order to
appear more winsome at church in the
morning and at the dance in the after
noon. A YarltebU Cariosity.

Forrest's Trlbnte.
Nato Salshnry once met Forrest, the
great nctor. But lio had better tell the
story himself : "It wits at Columbus, O.,
in the railroad station nt midnight It
was cold, blrnk, biting weather, and
tho old follow hobbled np nnd down the
platform, but thoro was majesty even in
his very hobble. An undertaker's wagon
pulled up nt the Rtntlon, nnd a corpse
was removed from it Tho baggageman
carelessly hustled the body Into his dray
and wheeled it down tho platform. As
he halted, old Forrest broke tint into the
most horriblo enrsing, and with his
tonguo lashed the bnggngnmnn for his
careless handling of the hnmau clay.
Then he turned, approached the oorpse,
and broke into tho oration nf Mark An
tony over the body of Ciesar. No one
was there but tho frightened baggage
man and a handful of actors. Tho great
actor's volco rose and fell, and the sub
tle tears aud rosolnto thunder of the ora
tion awoke the echoes of tho station as
a grand organ in a ruujostlo cathedral.
Be read every line of tho oration, and
said in an aside speech, as a climax:
'There, take that, you poor clay in the

The Bin of Fretting-.
Watch any ordinary coming together
of people aud see how many minutes It
Will be before somebody frets that Is,
mokes a more or loss complaining state
ment of something or other, which most
probably every one in tho rooji, or in
the railway carriage, or In the street, it
may be, knew before, and which proba
bly nobody can help. Why say anything
about it? It is cold, it is hot, it is wet,
it la dry; somebody has broken an ap
pointment, or ill cooked a moal ; stupid
ity or bad faith somewhere has resulted
In discomfort there are plenty of things
to fret about, if we are weak enough to
heed trifles. It is simply astonishing
how much annoyance may be found in
the course of every day's living, even
at tha simplest, if one only keeps a
sharp lookout on that side of things.
Even Holy Writ says we are prone to
trouble as sparks to fly upward. Bnt
even to the sparks flying upward, in the
blackest of smoke, thero is a blue sky
above, and the less time they waste on
the road, the sooner they will reach it
Fretting is all time wasted on the road.

IxmgaTltj of Anta.
Sir John Lubbock, tha naturalist.
who has done more to popularize the
study of insect ways and habits than all
the other modern entomologists com
bined, has been experimenting to find
out how long the common ant would
live if kept ovof harm's way. On Aug.
8, 1888, an ant which had been thus
kept and tenderly cared for died at the
age of 15 years, whioh is the greatest
age any speolos of insect has yet been
known to attain. Another individual of
the same species of ant (Formica fusca)
lived to the advanced age of 18 years,
and the queen of another kind (Laaius
niger) laid fertile eggs after she had
passed tha age of 9 years. St Louis

Tha Davll's Cap.
In mediaeval dramas the part of tha
devil was always played in a pointed
red cap, with two side points or tassels.
So much importance was attached to
this cap that on one occasion, in Franoe,
an actor refused to play, and the enter
tainment was postponed because his
"devil's cap" had been stolen and it
was impossible to play the part of aatan
without a proper headpiece.
