One can seldom pick up a paper of miscel- laneous reading wiihoat coming across advice to wives to spend the major part cf their existence in atriving to retain their husband's love and admiration. Un- qutstionably this is right, and no good wife with a good husband but will tied it her supreme delight, as well as duty, to dally strengthen tbe sweet cords that bind them together. But there are other sides to the .juestionâ€" ahadowy, gloomy sides- and it is toward those wives who are con signed to dwell perennially in the gray, somber lives their lords and masters make for them that I am impelled to say my say " Meet him at the door with a smile and a kiss " â€" that ia an old, beaatiful and sensible piece of advice that every wife in this country ought to be encooragad and able to carry out from the very deptns of her heart, but, alas I that only the husbands who are in the minority deserve. WHISPEBISG IN THE HUSBASDs' EaBS. Supposeâ€" and I call upon hundreds, aye, thousands, of wives in oar midst to witness if I do not draw a picture they recognize all tco readily â€" the wife bsa been up and down all night with the croupy b»by, while its father lay comfortably asleep. Well, take this wife, who, after the night s anxiety, loss of rest and fatigue, has to get up and prepare breakfast, attend to all her usual duties with a splitting headache, caused by aleeplessness and cuns«<iaent irritability of the stocaach, that utterly loathes the idea of even toast and coffee, while her handsome, well dressed, well fed husband goes oS for the day with a " Well, I'm off ; take care of yourself '." Think you she will feel much like meeting him with a bright, cheerful, sunny smile and a kiss when be comes in, perhaps a half hour later than usual, with his greeting : " Haven't you had dinner yet ? What did you wait for me for '.' Yoa know I detest having you wait." I wish I could get the ear of the general masculine public for just a httle while and whisper into it that perhaps it would be quite aa well if the husbands look a little more pains to retain their wives' respect and affection. According to the inevitable law of nature a woman cannot be happy nnless somebody loves her, enthrones her, crowns her and lets her know in unmistak- able language that such is the case. I have heard men say : " Of course I love my wife. What Jo you take me forâ€" a bruta ?' Well, no -, uot exactly such a detestable thing, or that delicate, ladylike little wife of yours never would have married yoa. Bat there is a resemblance between you and that quadruped in the fact that brutes never speak their feelings. Of what use to me is a gold mine iu Australia or a diamond field in Bra^sil if tbe riches of them are not quarried '.' Where is the sense or reason oi your loving your wife if yoa never speak of it, or look it, or act it ? In fact, you don't love her if you do none of these things, for if there ia a truer aphorism than that "murder will oat ' it is that love cannot be concealed. I am well aware of the argument in favor of the sterner sexâ€" that they are all day exposed to the friction of business, and, when night comes, they ought to be received into a >iuiet, peaceful, happy home, where they may don slippers and smoking jacket, and read or doze on the library lounge until bedtime. Very good. But your wife is all day subjected to something far worse than the contact with business annoyances, and that is the monotonous, endless routine of domestio drudgery, which, home keeper, home lover that she ia, wears and tears on the sensitive nerves in a way few men appreciate. When evening comes, the babies are asleep, she wants a little exhila rating change, something rather more effervescent than the pleasare of feeling alone in the same rooms she has occupied all day, watching the handsome features of her recumbent lord, or immersed in the columns of a newspaper. ON TUB COSTLY MONCUXSI. Now, which shall it be? The husband's comfort or the wife's',' I can tell you the result. It will be tbe survival of the tltteat, and as he is the stronger phyeically and gets plenty of air and exercise the chances are nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand that before his eldest ohild is in its teens there will be a costly monu- ment in some silent resting place â€" " Sacred to the memory of my beloved wife." While, if God's own truth were carved on that pure, white cross in letters of blazing gold, they wonKl read : " A woman's life wasted : a heart disappointed unto death ; hopes destroyedâ€" by little things." Yes, little thirgs! I know a husband, a bright, intellectual man. who ia killing his wife by hia " philosophy," he calls it, that he never fails to air upon every occasion when hia wife is in distress or disappoint, ment or trouble. No matter how keenly ate feels any pain, physical or emotional, he invariably freezes her with his formula : " Well, what are yon going to do about it ? " Never a loving word of sympathy, a kiss or a caressâ€" and yet he'd be insulted if you told him he didn't love her- never a word, " It is too bad. dear ; but as it is unavoidable, can't I help you to bear it ?" I know that wife would aacriflce ten years of her life if she could get out of her mind that cold judicial, unsympathetic tone of voice and look that ahe will carry with her into eternity. When that husband is in stritits, which he often is, and ia depressed physically, for he is not in good health, and unstrung nervously, as is often the case ; when hia famous cold hearted '• What are you going to do about it ?" ia temporarily silenced that wife of hia. that he never did deserve and is killing by degrees, is all gentle, womanly sympathy, constant attention tender ministration and hopeful enoourage ment. .Vnd the next time he recovers the full force of his gigantic intellect, and it is her turn to reap a reward, it comes like Banquo's ghost upon her, " I don't see what you are going to do about it." But perhaps the wife to be most pitied ia she whose bnahand. while mean, smally abusive and tyrannical in little things who treats her off and on as if she were his head servant without a salary, instead of his equal in head and heart, whoae petty discourtesies and inattentions, familiar though they are, always cause the same hopeless pani^ of despair to chill ber heart â€" this husband who, when company is aroimd, is so sweet, and polite, and elegant, and joking, and oompiimentary to her. And she, trying to forget the parting words, perhaps, ut the morning : " Understand this, the next time yon invite company I wish to be formally consulted, as I believe I rim this ranch ' â€" cannot to save her immortal soul, look or feel pleased when at table that man tells the guests " how he enjoys tbe delightful surprises his dear little wife gets up so nicely. Fine cook, isn't she .' I tell yoa she beats my mother, and I thought ahe was the best cook in the world. Let me give yoa this choice bit of white meat, darling, shall I .' "â€"Mme. Emerce in New York Star. Tbe Attraction uf a Soft Voice. We agree with that old poet who said that a low, soft voice was an excellent thing in woman. Indeed, we feel inclined to go much further than he has on the sabject and call it one of her crowning charms. No matter what other attractions ahe may have ; she may be aa fair as the Trojan Helen, and as learned aa the famous Hypa- tia of ancient times ; she may have all the accomplishments considerea requisite at the present day and every advantage that wealth may procure, and yet if ahe lack a low, sweet voice she oan never be really fascinating. How often tbe spell of beaaty is broken by load, coarse talking. Uow often yoa are irresistibly drawn to a plain, unassuming woman, whoae soft, sUvery tones render her positively attractive. Besides, we fancy we can judge of the character by the voice ; the bland, smooth, fawning tone seems to us to betoken deceit and hypocrisy as invariably as the musical, subdued voice indicates a genuine retine- maul. In tbe social circle how pleasant it is to hear a woman talk in that low key which always characterizes the trae lady. In the sanctuary of home how such a voioe soothes the freltul temper and cheers the weary hauoand. Uow sweetly such cadence deals through the sick chamber and around the dying bed ; with what a solemn melody do they breathe a prayer for a departing BOal. â€" iV<ie York leUgram. She had a Word or Two tu Say. A fast young man decided to make to a young lady a formal offer of hia hand and hearfr â€" all be was worth â€" hoping for a cor- dial reception. He cautiously prefaced his declarations with a few questions, for he bad no intention of " throwing himself away." Did she love him well enough to live m a cottage with him .' Was she a good cook .' Uid she think it a wife's duty to make a home happy ? Would she con- sult his tastes and wishes concerning her associates and pursuits in life .' Was she economical ? Could she make her own clothes ? etc. The young lady aaid that before she answered bis questions, she would assure him of some negative virtues she possessed. She never drank, smoked or chewed ; never owed a bill to her laundress or tailor ; never stayed out all night playing billiards : never lounged on the street corners and ogled giddy girls : never " stood in " with the boys for cigars or wine suppers. "Now," said she, rising indignantly, " I am assured, by those who know, that you do all these things, and it is rather absurd for you to expect all tbe virtues in me, while you do not possesa any yourself. I oan never be your wife ;" and ahe bowed him out and left him on the cold doorstep, a madder if not a wiser man. â€" Health Journal. P108 IN CI.OVEB. The ramooa Prublam f uid to B« thu Uut- come af aSelentlHc Zzperlment. Emil Charles Pfeiffer. of Cambridge, states that a stndent of physiological psychology named Martenfeldt ia the cul- prit who is reaponsible for the " Pigs in Clover" atrocity, says an exchange. Mar- tenfeldt had been making researches in some determinations of the sensitiveness of the tactile sense under the direction of the great Helmholtz, and found that the ability to balance a marble on a perfectly smooth piece of plate glass depended upon tbe delicacy of what is known as the reaction time, that ia, depends apon the qoickneas of the nerve-current in reoeiving tbe im- pression that tbe marble will roll, sending tbe impression to the controlling organs in the cerebellum that contract or relax the muscles of the arm and tbe degree of re- BponsiveneE.s in the nervoua end-organa of the lingers which hold the piece of glass. Martenfeldt found that if be placed tbe marble in the centre of tbe plate and marked four or five spots on the edges of the plate and then asked the subject with which he experimented to tip the plate so that the marble woald run across a particu- lar spot, a considerable time elapsed before the subject could deternxine bow to tip the plate to make a marble roll as required. When Martenfeldt complicated the apparatus and plased rings of pasteboard about the centre of the plate, with holes for the marble to ran through, the average results of his ezperiments gave a remarka- ble psychological law, which waa that the " reaction time" depended upon the size of the circles of pasteboard which made an impression upon the neld of vision of the retina, and was in direct proportion to the diameters of the circles expressed in miUimteres. He sent one of hia plates to Dr. Herman Meyer, of Philadelphia, where it waa aeen by C. M. Crandall, the toy deviser. English and Kreneb Cookery. A celebrated French traveller remarked tbe English have fifty rt'ligions and only one sauce. Tbiii. no doubt, shows ignor- ance aa to religion, but a great deal of truth aa regards the sauce, which, probably, was referred to as tbe very innocent concoction of a white aauce consisting either of some dour, batter, and milk or acme bread and milk, both eijually taateleas, and making tbe liet^pair of foreign travellers in this country who are accuatomed to good French aauees. The many English travel- lers going to the Paris Exhibition at this time will no doubt be struck with the diiference between fine French cookery and the somewhat monotonous English ccxikery, and it may be worth while to ask what is tbe secret of the well known success of French cookery. This secret is simply the " stock-pot," a preparation of concentrated meat jiuoe enabling the cook to give to all dishes â€" soup, laucea and entrees â€" the n.'ie meat tlavor which distinguishes refined cookery from coarse cookery. Many cooks, andoubte ily. know how to prepare stock, but in most caaes tbe quality of such stock is too weak and insipid, and besides does not keep in anything like warm weather . whilst, on the contrary, Lii>big Company s Extract of Meat, being tbe finest con- centrated meat-juice (I lb. extract equal to 40 lbs. best lean meat), keeps for any length of time, and in any temperature, and enables the cook to obtain tbe highest per- fection in French cookery. The warm season coming on, this may be a useful bint te ladies and boasekeepers. -L.iiiy'i Picton il. iDi^ecta In the Sar. Dr. J. Herbert Claiborne, jun., talkio'^ in ' The Medical Classics" about removing in- sects from the ear, expresses the belief that " sweet oil is perhaps the best thing to keep tbe insect from moving. That is tbe first desideratum. Tbe oil, by its thick con- aistence, will so entangle and bedraggle the insect's legs and wings that the intolerable noise will be atopped. If oil be not at hand use any liquid that is not poisonoas or corrosive. Water will probably be within the reach of every one. This is also more liable to fioat him out, too, than either sweet oil or glycerine. It has been sug- gested to blow tobacco smoke in the ear to stupefy the inaect. We cannot indorse thia advice ; tobacco smoke blown into the ear of a child has been known to cause alarm- ing aymptoma. When the movements of the intritder have been arrested syringe the ear gently with warm water. All manner of inseota and bugs have been fotmd in the ear, bat you can never tell in a given case who the lude caller is knocking at the door of yoar brain until yon have him out." Too Literal.

A stooping figure and a halting gait, ac- companied by tbe unavoidable weakness of lungs lucidentsl to a narrow chest, may be entirely cured by a very simple and ea^ly performed exercise of raisingone's self upon tbe toes leisurely tn a perpendicular position several times daily. To take this exercise properly one muat take a perfectly upright position, with the heels together and the toes at an angle of forty- five degrees. Then Irop the arm> lifelessly by the sides, ani- mating and raising the cbest to its full capacity muscularly . the chin well drawn io, and the orown of the head feeling as if attached to a striiit; suspended from tbe celling above.

Mrs. Burns left her baby in its carriage on a slanting walk while she went into a store. The carriage started toward the gutter when the intelli- gent dog seized bold of the vehicle and aaved it from tipping over. Lewis Lynde, of Montour county, Penn- sylvania, has a big maatiff that saved hia house from destruction by fire. The family were absent, when a spark from the atove set the kitcbeu door on fire.

He had in his house a Newfoundland dog. which was near tbe child when the fatal tlood struck the house. The dog seemingly realized the situation and caught the child and started to swim to land. The force of the waters washed the dog and child against the school house, where they were held until the water began to abate, and as soon as the animal could he swam to tbe hillside with the babe iu his mouth and delivered tbe dead infant to some people who were there.
