To Husbands.

Always complain of being tired, and remember that nobody else gets tired. Your wife should have everything in • readiness for you, but you should not do anything for her. When your wife asks ye*B for money give her a nickel; ask her what she wants with it, and when she tells you. ask her if she can’t do without it. Then go down town and spend ten times the amount for cigars, for they are a necessity. Go down town of an evening, stand on the street corner and talk politics; it’s more interesting than to stay at home with your family. Charge your wife not to gbssip, but you can spin all the yams you wish. Have your wife get up and make fires, but don’t get up yourself till the rest of the family are eating breakfast, as you blight catch cold. Wear old clothes and make yourself as untidy as possible until your wife’s health fails; then it would be best for you to fix up some, for in all probability you will want another when she is gone. We are always reminded of the hugeness of our country when reading such statistics as this: The value of the annuah butter produot in the United States is $352,000,000. — Dr. Foote'g Health Monthly.
