The first act of matrimony shock/fie a careful and sympathetic study ofchtr- acter, the laying down ofa little plan ‘9! campaign, full of considerate conces~ sions and well-conceived resolutions. In matrimony it is not “all is well that ends well,”,it is “all is well that be- gins well, and not too well." Then the action begins, and the climax is never reached before the end ofthe last act but one. A mus Mame-J § v :fthQ‘-( a ‘fi‘é‘l‘gé’ gfiiefigenr Tim 3 f 1 It is only after at least ten years of matrimony that a climax should ‘be reached, when theman is above fcx'L)‘, in the full possession of his manly powers, when the woman is above thirty, in the full possession of her glorious womanly charms, when bfllh are sure of each other and tried friends. Then, and then only, they can allow themselves to be lovers in the full mean- ing of the word. They will be able to enjoy that great bliss if they have not made the mistake of trying too soon. The epicure, like t'he'diplomatist. 15 one who knows how to wait. The boys on the farms crowd to the cities as soon as they are old encugh to do so, but this condition of affairs is due to the fact that the boy is not taught to take an interest in farmâ€" ing.

The clever dramatist is invariably satisfied with writings. quiet and sober first act. No situations ofany strength are required. He makes his audience thoroughly acquainted with his char- acters. Therefore. my friend, control your- self sufficiently to restrain your epanche meats so Cleverly that your wife may be led to believe that you love her more and more every day. Remember that you entered the holy estate of matri- mony with a certain capital of love. The whole happiness of your married life will depend on the way you use that capital. Live on the interest. If you touch the capital you are bound to become bankrupt sooner or later. Married life is a comedy (sometimes, alas, a tragedy) in several acts. Like in a play, avoid putting in the first act of your married life all your strongest snua tions and all your smartest dialogue. for {ear lest the interest should go on flagging steadily to the end. Control your love and your ardor. If at the beginning you are too attentive and do such things that you know you cannot do forever. look out. The slightest inattention will take the most gigantic proportions. Some men. good diplomatists, carry this. principle the length of objecting to being their wives’ lovers simply because they know they can not always be lov- ers. and that the day they cease to be lovers they will be considered perfect criminals. -.~r, .. my“ be “N's" 1'2?" ~~~- , 'néhi'rijoyed men’s; t ocmchmhn went to LonBon maining very devoted: 1Y- Walking along one of making them very hapfi. ‘ h? noticed a. bald-headed But if a man waits ten year-f fidzng at his shop door, and Lcide on belonging to a club’h‘é‘lfi" ‘ "I had ale-y 'narr restorer. discover the terrible mistalie he "a: “Tithe chemist. ‘Step in made. a. v liere's an article I can "His visits to that'crub' will 695.1333; -.

A figure which u‘as notable ii) Queen Victoria’s court .is about to leave England for Bombay. This is Mahom- ed Ishmail, one of the two stalwart at- tendants of the late Queen, who has determined to return to’ India. These two Indians were for years in constant attendance on Queen Victoria at home and abroad. At state social functions they acted in a singular capacity as the cup bearers of the Kings in olden times They seldom left the royal presence. standing erect and statue-like behind the Queen's chair. For years the Queen had not been seen in Public un- less attended by them. On a railway, a royal yacht, or in the palace garden, or when diving they were always close at hand. The Queen used to converse with them in Hindustani, in which she was greatly interested. My small nephew was ready to start on a long promised week’s visit to his grandfather's in the country. There was an exasperating delay in the appearance of the carriage to take us to the station. The young man worked off his impatience in various annoying ways {or half an hour, then suddenly he was seen to kneel beside a chair in the corner and bury his face in his hands. After a few moments his mother said : ‘Well, Kenneth, what are you doing ?’ ‘Just getting my prayers said up for while I'm going to be out at grandpa’s. There’s nothing to do here, and I spect to be pretty busy while I'm there.’ Ionce had a cat which a!- ways sagppgg thehinner tahle with me, and had his napkin round hi: neck. and his plate, and some fish. H: used his paw, of course; but he was very particular, and behaved with extraordin- ary decorum. When he had finished his fish I sometimes gaVe him a. piece of mine. One day .he was not to be found when the dinner bell rang, so we began without him. Justés the p‘ates were being put round for the entree, puss came rushing upstairs, and sprang into his chair With Me mice in his mouth. Before he could be stop- ped he dropped a mouse on to his own piate and then one on to mine. He di- vided his dinner with me as I divided mine with him. The monster tree of which Mr. Smock is so proud is in Gloucester County. It is on the north side of the Great Mzrtin Creek, on the 'I‘antum farm, about a mile east of the Srlem and Gloucester turnpike, Where the giant tree emerges from the earth it measures 43 feet in circumference. ’I‘wo feet above the earth line it measures 27 feet and six inches in circumference.

Strength in woman is admired by a strong man always. 01' course, I mean by the phrase a “strong man" a man who has some experience of life. It occasionally happens that a very young man of real strength of character falls the victim in early life to the fascin ation of a clinging, sweet, inefficient creature, as David Copperfield did to his Dora. But the older and the stronger and the wiser a man is the more he is sure to admire the deep strength 'of character in woman that springs from the large and easy ability to do things well.
