ABOUT CONNUBIAL FELICITY Marriage I* a Good Old Institution In Spite of the Knocker*. If we believed all that we read In novels we should be sorry for all the world, and especially for the married people. Novelists go to any amount of trouble to get folk married in order to make them miserable. In a novel not a love story, but a real novel, there Is usually something about the husband that gets on the wife's nerves or something about the wife that gets on the husband's nerves. It may be the way he eats au orange, or his views on feminism, or the way she deals cards, or her Ideas on bringing up the children—whatever it is, the novelist makes the most of It until he has himself and his married people and all the rest of us unhappy about it. As a matter of fact, you and I have every reason to believe that he does not know what he is talking about, or at least is not talking about what he knows. Marriages may or may not be made in heaven, they may or may not make a sort of heaven, but they are, for the most part, comfortable and satisfactory affairs. If you consider your friends and neighbors you will be convinced that almost everybody is married to the right person. If you try to mix them up you will find that it cannot he done. Mrs. A. never could make waffles to suit Mr, B and Mrs. C. would not like the way Mr. D trots around in a bathrobe in the mornings, and Mrs. C. is too ex. travagaut for Mr. A and Mr. and Mrs. D; like the same sort of shows and music and books, and so it goes. Trifles of differences In habits and tastes do not seem to affect the congeniality of most husbands and wives, and, indeed, these differences seem to exist in remarkably few cases. There are exceptions, but the point is that they are exceptions. If proof were needed of the fact that domestic felicity is ' rather a common sort of thing, the j conversation of a woman's afternoon , card club fcoutd he convincing. What ! do they talk about? They talk about, j their husbands and their homes and i their babies. They actually do! My I husband likes this and mine likes that, 1 and my husband says this and mine says that, and so on it goes all around the room, and each one there is more Interested in what her husband likes and says than in the recitals of the others. It is a pleasant tiling to contemplate, and it is going on all the time, in spite of the three-cornered Ideas of misery that th& authors dalight in.—Indianapoli.i News.

THINGS TO KNOW. Use adhesive plaster to fasten labels to cans or bottles. It is dangerous to leave either without being plainly labeled. Wring a cloth from vinegar and wrap it several thicknesses around cheese to keep it from molding or drying. Add half a teacupful of salt to two quarts of water, or in that proportion. to the lower compartment of a double holler; less time will be required to cook the conteuts of the lower one. To clean painted walls dissolve two ounces of borax iu two quarts of water and add one tablespoonful of ammonia. Use half this quantity to each bucket of water; do not use soap. Wash a small amount of the paint at a time and rub dry with a clean cloth. For a cold night, one can make delicious hot chocolate by melting In a little hot water a cake of sweet chocolate and adding milk. This takes only a few minutes and Is always of the right sweetness. A small button of garlic In a quart of vinegar will give it a mysterious, delicious flator, and it will immensely improve salads or anything In which it is used. Knives which have Ivory handles which have become darkened should have the handles rubbed with half a lemon which has been dipped In salt After treating them thus wash in warm water. If when one Is ready to clean pictures it Is found that the dust hae sifted through the backing, which has not been firm, and an ugly mark is made on the white rim, it can be removed easily by rubbing the dirty place with a stale piece of white bread, leaving it quite as fresh looking as when new. Drawers that refuse to move tn or out should be rubbed with a little yellow soap from the kitchen to make them work smoothly. This same remedy may be applied to windows which have to be coaxed before they will Move either up or down. Use half rye and half wheat bread; rub over rug the same as scrubbing, aud when through sweep thoroughly. The rug will be like new.
To Clean Upholstered SoTa. Beat the cushioned portion to remove all dust—this can he done wita a wire carpet beater. Brush frequently with a whisk broom and repeat the process until all dust is taken out. Make a solution of white soap, one-fourth bar, two tablespoonfuls borax, 5 cents’ worth ether and a teaspoonful of ammonia. Add a cup of this to a gallon of water and use the lather for washing the cover. A clean scrub brush may be used. The sofa must be carefully rinsed off with clean water and clean cloths, then rubbed over with cold salt water In which a little gall has been added, as this will restore any color that may have faded a trifle In the process of cleaning. If the covering is good, color will not run with this cleaning mixture. If possible dry the sofa In the yard, or open the windows aud let the air in the room dry It out. If the binding is worn, rip It off and get a fresh braid. It is only 15 cents a bolt, and tacks can be purchased to match the braid. A bed sofa can be scrubbed on the Inside though it should be stood on end when scrubbed to prevent too much water soaking into the mattress.
Sele:ting Roam Rurjs. There are many things to consider besides the price when pirn basing a rug. It must be a color that can stand sunshine, should it be placed In a sunny room, and It must harmonize with the tint of wood, paper and furniture. Of (ourse most rugs today are of a very subdued tone, though occasionally an offending one Is found. It Is a mistake to select a rug showing a border of trees, flowers, birds or animals, for we ao not walk on sui h things, so why have them ttpon the floor? Such lmag-s belong to wall paper and draperks. Never select a rug showing a decided diamond center, round 01 octogan shape, for it stands out like a blot ou the floor. The border should either blend into the central portion of the rug, or be distinctly cut off with a sharp outline, with the border and rug portion very much the same color. Soft colors In light rugs are very attractive in a room with white shades and curtains, though almost all persons prefer dark colors.
To a Singer, A well known singer has cautioned her pupils when singing in a small room to face her audience and not the piano against the wall, as it flattens the tone of voice and make* a really beautiful voice less melodious. Even a singer playing her own accompaniment will place the piano in the central portion of the stage and face the audience. A timid ringer finds genuine rtAlef In turning fiom the audience, facing the piano, though an experienced teacher wlU, at the start, interrupt this procedure. Coceanut Pudding.

’ r THE EVOLUTION OF KHAKI. 1 Discovery of the Proper Dye Result of an Accident. A lucky accident led to the Invention of khaki, that olive colored cloth that is worn by soldiers. For years the British troops tn India wore a cotton cloth of a greenish brown, but It always faded when washed with soap. While discussing this defect with some British officers a business man from England carelessly observed that the manufacturer first to discover the means whereby a cotton drill could be made that would not fade would certainly make his fortune. One of the officers, a young man, took the hint When he got home be employed a skilful dyer, and the two began a systematic search for an olive dye that when used on cotton cloth would not yield to soap or soda. They spent years tn experiments along this line hut to no avail. The thing seemed hopeless. One day, however, they found among numerous scraps of dyed cloth one that retained Its color under the moat severe tests. The puullng part of It all was that this scrap had been derived from a piece of cloth that had been subjected to the same processes. For a long time the experimenters tried to solve this riddle. The one bit of khaki mentioned warn the only piece that kept Its color against all attacks. Finally - by the mereat chance they hit upon the secret. The dye In which this scrap had been dipped had remained for a time In a metal dish of • peculiar kind. This metal, In combination with the chemicals of the dye, had furnished the very thing needed. They made the experiment with other pieces; the dye held, an-.l their fortunes were made.—Scientific American.

Rid Town of Night Howlers. Jasper Bike and Harry Stevenson of Camden made $200 recently by practically ridding Camden of night howling cats, but they landed in jail through their Ingenuity and each had to flay a $5 fine. The young men rigged up a eat trap and baited It ’vith a piece of shad. As the felines essayed to reach the fish the floor of the trap would give way and they were precipitated into a hogshead of water. The young men caught sixty-one eats in one night, but one of the cats was a pet and its mistress caused the arrest of the young men. But Camden sleeps at night now.—Falrport Herald.

FLOWER3 AND FISH. The Blooming of the Flower Marks the Coming of the Latter. “According to the fishermen of the Long Island and New England coasts,” said a man who has dwelt among them, "spring vegetation has a great deal to do with the coming and conduct of certain fish, it is a saying among them as old as the coast settlements that When chestnut leaves are as big as a thumbnail, Then bite blackfish without fail; But when chestnut leaves are long as span, Then catch a blackfish if you can. ‘‘When the dandelions appear above ground In the spring the New England coast folk who follow fishing for a livelihood say, ‘Now the flatfish are running.' They don't care much for the coming of the flatfish though, for these fish have small market value, but the fisherman watch me dandelions. “When the buds are swollen full and are ready to burst into bloom the fishermen rejoice and say. ‘Now scape come." and they put In their trape for this abundant, profitable and universally popular fish, for ecup Is the porgy of commerce. Besides the first dandelions bringing ecup, ecup bring the blueflsh, the tautog and other finny denizens that bring coin to the fisher's till. . "As the going of the blackfish le signalled to the fishermen by the full growth of the chestnut leaf ao have the scup a sign for their departure. The fishermen say that as long as the dandelion is in full vigor of flower the run of scup is composed of large and silvery white fish, all strong and healthy. “As the dandelion begins to change from flower to the downy seed tufl the run of scup beeomeg noticeably of smaller fish of a darker hue. Thla run Is a marketable fish, but of less value than the firsi run. An the seeding stage of the dandelion progresses the scup come In scattered schools and are called mixed fish, being of various sizes and little value. "When the seed is formed and ripe on the dandelions stalk scup arc of a run that it doesn't pay to spend time in trapping, and when the dandelion seed is scattered by the wind over the land, the last scup has departed for the mysterious waters that no one knows, to remain there until the dandelions bloom again. “When the wild 'high bush’ blackberry bushes are in bloom is another time the fishermen watch for, because then they know that tile striped bass have arrived, and always the big fellows come with the blackberry blossoms—the lusty fish that will run from ten to twenty pounds in weight. The scoot, bass, a run of small striped bass, have their innings when the blue violet is a-pleuty In the fields and on the hillsides. “From the time of the earliest settlers, when shad could be hauled from the Connecticut River with a hand rake from the shore, as they jammed and crowded their way In the myriads toward the spawning beds of the upper river, fishermen have set down the beginning of this annual shad hcglra as not until the shad flower Is In bloom in the damp, dark places of its choice. Hence the local name of this fragrant early spring floral beauty, known politely as trailing arbutus. "The early settlers in the Deleware and Susquehanna valleys were from Connecticut, and they carried that token with them, so In those valleys to this day, as in the Connecticut valley, the shad flower is held to rule the time before the coming of which it will be useless to haul the seine in the upper waters for that migrating fish. "The shad flower has become exceedingly rare In the localities where it was once abundant. Why? Folks in general say because It haa been ruthlessly plucked and uprooted every spring for years by persistent invaders of its haunts, but old time shad fishermen insist that It Is because tb» shad have year hy year grown scarce! and scarcer In the rivers.’’—N. Y. Sun
