Men and Women.

Eveby woman is a hero worshiper—or ought to be—so far as her husband is concerned. A woman living near Holly Springs, Ga., has given birth to thirteen children in nine years. The widow who weeps most violently naturally uses up her supply of tears in the shortest time. A Chicago woman the other night chased a burglar three blocks and assisted in his capture. IT never makes children better to tell them a dozen times a day that they are too mean for any usie. A man accustomed to public life feels lost out of it. lie feels neglected when no one is lying about him. Eveby man has an ax to grind, and looks upon every other man with an eye to inducing him to turn the handle. She: “Since my return from Florida I’m another woman.” Sarcastic friend: “How delighted your husband must be!" You can’t convince a girl by arguing that a man is not an angel. The only way to convince her is to let her marry him. To be wiser than other men is to be homester than they; and strength of mind is only courage to sCe and speak the truth. 1 A foreman in a factory in Williamsburg, N. Y., has been arrested because he struck girls under him for singing at their work. “That man is notoriously unreliable!” “Why, I like the looks of him.” “He brfeaks his word so.” “How is that?" “HA stutters. ” Pobtland, Me., is admiring a man who has carried the same jack-knife for sixty-nine years, resisting all temptations td “swap.” Thebe is much that is birdlike about .most young girls; the pity is they arc not taught that there is so much that U catlike about the men. The gray hair of an Elbert County, Ga., woman, 87 years old, is falling out and being replaced by a luxuriant growth of jet black locks, so it is said. A baby, two months old, and weighing but four pounds, is reported from Georgia. It it , said to be perfectly healthy, and the best baby alive. Penelope, sighing: “Ah, the men ftre not what they used to be!” Tom: “I’d like to know why not?” Penelope: “They used to be boys, you know.” A coboneb’s jury in Peoria, 111,, it is said, brought in the following verdict: “We find that the deceased came to her death by being found dead in her bed." In a skating match which occurred resently in North Plain, Conn., between young men, the prize contested for was the hand of a young woman in marriage. When a woman falls in love you.can’t make her believe all men are alike, and when she has been married ten years you can’t make her believe that they ara hot. See that your child never leaves any task half done or slovenly finished; and therefore give not too many tasks. Thoroughness is the corner-stone of success. The town council of Sellersburg, Ind., has passed an ordinance requiring al) boys under the age of 16 years to be in their homes by 7 o’clock p. m., under pain of arrest and imprisonment. It is said that a Paris laundryman has discarded all soaps, sodas and boiling powders. He merely uses plenty of water and boiled potatoes, and can cleanse without employing any alkali the worst soiled linens, cottons, or woolens.
