He' is like 3tou in having faults ; with very little trouble you can find these faults, and by talking, about them and reminding him of them you can make -your. mar ried life unendurable. You can bring about heartburnings, you can cause strife, and before 'oh know it hatred may take the rdace of love. Look for his vir tues, and, seeking always for goodness, you will grow better every day just as certainly as I IT 1 "1 you would grow nau ,ii you looked -only for that which - was wicked. Remember there is much that will have to be for-, given in you, and whenever you feel inclined to remind Tom of a weakness read the book in which is set down your foibles and your follies. A woman who, even after her marriage, care- tully studies her profession, can mike her husband what she wishes him to be. Everything that is good is contagious, and !- firrlif L'in1 rvf n wifo m nl.rn the -right kind of a husband. 1 "Respect the husband : he is a man, not a child, and how can the -world honor him when you, who are , of the uplifting influences his closest companion, do n'ot?i?f the true religion, afford to companion, Do not, even in jest, deride or underrate him.

Corsages1 will to a great ex tent be blouse fashion. They are becoming to most figures, are easily made and also easily changed in effect by crosswise draperies, one-sided effects,; re- vers, belts, sashes, etc., but other ways of trimming are equally stylish ; fine lingerie -tucks, and Boleros being partic ularly liked. Separate corsages of contrast ing colors are relegated to the past, so also is the black satin skirt and fancy silk waist. Shirt waists will retain their popularity, but this season will oe made in . the most severe styles ; .pleats and tucks are al lowable, but lace and frivols in general are tabooed by the cor rect dresser. The favorite materials arc the different wash goods wdiich are i this year of unequaled ' delicacy j and beauty, and for dressy wear under tailor-made jacketsvhite 4 satin or moire will be used. In sleeyes the fullness at the top, which during the recent winter, has been reduced to very small puffs has . suffered a still further decrease. Every indi cation points to ; the, perfectly tight sleeve, butas yet fulness of some kind just at the top is considered indispensable . Mnny of the fashionable sleeves are shirred their entire length, oth ers are" tucked in c Lay ers around the arm or lengthwise, while for cloth, cording is used, and for thinner materials insertions of lace. ' I ' All are trimmed j about the hand with niching, a lace ruffle or a "cornet" which very near ly conceals the entire lhand. For tailor-made suits, jackets to be worn with shirt waists will be tight fitted in the back, loose iii front, close over the hips and fastened in front with a fly . Capes are still popular, and have for their distinctive feat ure the most elaborate of col lars,, with inside ruches' of lace and chiffon ruffling that some times touch the upper tips of the ears, and in all cases form the prettiest imaginable frame- work face . for the wearer's piquant A TURKISH PEAYEE, What better index of a na tion's character can be furnish ed than the one presented in its supplications? The instinct of worship is divinely implanted in every human breast, and there is no race of people, however savage or brutal, that does not recog nize this inherent principle,' and that does not instinctively worship something. Even- the murderous Turks arr intensely religious, jis the following prayer offered up by these re morseless persecuters of the Christians plainly evinces : O Lord of all creatures! O Allah! de stroy thine enemies; the enemies of re ligion; O Allah! make -their children orphans and- defile their bodies; cause their feet to 'slip; give them and their families, their household and theii wo men, their children and their relations by' marriage, their brethren and their friends, their possessions and their race, their wealtlTand their lands, as booty to the Moslems O Lord of all creatures! This prayer is iiot only sanc tioned by the Moslem govern ment, but every Turkish soldier is required to prostrate himself in the dust at least five times a day with this outrageous pe tition upon his lips. Is it sur prising then, in view of the re ligious frenzy by which tKe Turks are actuated, that scores and hundreds of Christians should fall under the brutal knife of the Sultan, and that Crete should refuse longer to endure the. yoke of bondage pvhich such t . lid ? a nation, puts upon In the veiT 'same breath it rights of yourimay ,)e asKea can tne pow ers oi Europe, which call themselves Christian powers, and which ally themselves with the, sav- ave Turks and virtually indorse f in nnti"i(nc ir n i T nov nnro have "-' Xerpetrated not only upon Crete and Armenia but upon Christ endom itself?

A num ber of years ago, a farmer, resi dent in the vicinity, made a very comfortable sum of money by insuring his neighbors' crops against these freshets.

Observations had shown him that a certain species of wasp, which built its Home-in the ground, built somer years on the -lowlands, and some years upon the higher level. Experi ence taught him that when, the wasps built on ' the lowlands there were -no freshets, and when they built on the higher ground the lower would some time dur ing the season be submerged.
