His BETTER SEVEN4EIGi-i'rEé. ,
A Kentucky Editor’s Leading Article on
H is Wife’s lIIer-its.
Many of my friends have asked me.
and a few strangers had the curiosity
to write and inquire, “Why is it that.
you always speak of your wife as
your better 7/3?” In" this brief article
I will endeavor to explain, anl I use
the personal pronoun that the readers
of the Herald will the better undeu
stand me. In Christian fortitude she
is as a. fortress capable of withstand-
ing any fusillade; I but a. rifle pit
with many unguarded gaps in com-
parison. Her faith is that of a healthy
tree in full foliage and fruit; mine
like a tree blasted, with an occasional
sprout that lends hope of fruition, but
so frail that the first cold wave of de-
spondency deadens and withers it. As
a. neighbor she embodies those quali-
ties expressed in the words of the
Master: “Do unto others as you
would that they should do to you ;” I
am content to do by him as well as he
has done by me, and- too frequently
fall short of the standard. As nurse
she is 3. Sister of Charity reared in the
Garden of Gethesemane' or in a. nun -
nery of Nazareth, shedding sweet sun-
shine through the Sick room; I both im-
patient and irascible. Endowed with
almost superhuman energy, she is a
living type of the busy bee; I, not so
enriched, am too frequentlya drone of '
disappointment. The day is never so
dark but the bright light beyond beck—
ons her on as a beacon of hope; de-
spondency darkens my vision and ob-
scures from view anything favorable
the future might show. Thus in all
the nobler attributes of life she tow-
ers above me as the forest pinne above
the stunted fig bush. During a. con-
tinuous companionship of over twenty-
two years I have been sensible to
these superior qualities, and I have
been always honest enough to say so.
She combines characteristics quintuple
in quality,u.nd in her affections as-
sumes the place of mother, sister,
friend. All in all, she is the apple of
my eye, my best beloved in whom I
am well pleased. Such is my wife as

THE woon ALCOHOL INDUSTRY.
It Makes Beautiful Dye Tints and is an
Antiseptic.
It is not generally known that over
(:0 per cent of wood may be converted
into liquid. A cord of wood weighing
4,000 pounds produces about 2,650
pounds of pyroligenous acid and 700
pounds of charcoal. The pyroligeno-us
acid from one cord of wood produces
nine gallons of 82 per cent crude wood
alcohol. 200 pounds of acetate of lime
and about 25 gallons of tar, besides
about 35‘ bushels of charcoal.
After the pvroligenous acid is neu-
tralized with lime, the wood alcohol is
distilled off, the lime holding the
acetic acid in solution. After the sep-
aration of the wood spirit, the remain-
ing liquid is boiled down in open pans ,
to a. sugar, which is dried, and be-
comes the acetate of lime of com-
merce. Acetate of lime is used for
making hectic acid. Fully three-fifths
of all the wood alcohol and acete to of
lime produced in the world, are made
in the United States. Fully 15,000
acres per year are cleared for this: pur-
pose. Wood alcohol affords a. perfect
substitute for grain alcohol for manu-
facturing and mechanical purposes,
and at less than one-third the cost. 'It
is used principally as a. solvent in the
making of shellac varnish; in making
celluloid. photographic paper, etc. It
- mukes many beautiful dye tints. Itis
autispcptic. and much used for lini-
mezzls and for skin rubbing in bath

And a Little Joke of Mendelssohn after
Hanging Liszt Play. .
Among the musical reminiscences of.
is a good one about Mendelssohn and
Liszt. The incident occurred during
Liszt’s first visit to Germany. His
style of playing was then somewhat
new, and he was, as he remained, the-
atrical in his manner. The Leipsic
critics were not effusive. Says Max
Muller: _
Mendelssohn only, with his well-
tempered heart, received him 'with
open arms. He gave a, matinee musi-
cule at his house, all the best known
musicians of the place being present.
Well, Liszt appeared in his Hungarian
costume, wild and magnificent.
He told Mendelssohn that he had
written something special for him. He
sat down, and swaying right and left
on his music stool played first a. Hun-
garian melody, and then three or four
variations, one more incredible than
the other. We stood amazed, and after
everybody had paid his'compliments to
the hero of the day some of Mendel-
ssohn’s friends gathered round him
and said: ‘ '
“Ah, Felix, now we can pack! No
one can do that. It is over with. us.”
Mendelssohn smiled, and when Liszt
came up to him, asking him to play
something, helaughed and said that he
never played now, and this, to a cer-
tain extent was true. He did not give
much time to practicing then, but
worked chiefly at composing and di-
recting his concerts. However, Liszt
would take no refusal, and so at last
little Mendelssohn, with his own
charming playfulness, said,—
“Well, I’ll play. But you must
promise me not to be angry.”
And what did he play? He sat down
and played first of all Liszt's Hungar-
ian melody, and then one variation af.
ter another, so that no one but Liszt
himself could have told the difference.
We all trembled lest Liszt should be
offended, for Méndelssohn could not
keep himself from immitating Liszt’s
movements and ruptures. However,
Mendelssohn managed never to offend
man, woman or child. -
Liszt laughed and applauded, and
admittted that no one, not hd himself,
could have performed such a bravura.
IRVING TO BARRETT.
A Remark, Showing the Farmer’s Fine
Humorous and Critical Sense.
It is reported that shortly after Urn-
ry Irving returned to England from
his last American tour he met Wilson
Barrett. The latter, who always bore
considerable resemblance to :1 turkey,
was more rufiled up than usual by the
financial success of his scriptural
dramas.
At one point in the conversation It‘-
ving, using his well known e‘locutiou,
bald:
“Well, Wilson, and what are you
going to give us now?"
“I have ‘The Sign of the Cross’ and
‘The Daughters of Babylon,’ and
Hamlet.” said Barrett in his most se-
pulchml voice.
“Ah, ha! and so you are going Ito
play Hamlet," returned Irving.
“Yes," said Barrett; “do you think
you are the only man who can play
Hamlet?”
“No—ah—butl think—ah—thut you
are the only man who cannot. play

Praying Bicycles for Buddhists.
To so great an extent have the Ju-
punese adopted European methods
and models that an enterprising Budd-
hist has adopted the bicycle to serve
the needsof the praying wheel as used
by the followers’of his creed. Instead
of attaching the written prayer to the
customary wheel which is generally
turned by a. convenient stream of run-
ning water, the new vogue is to fix the.
prayer to/thc hub of the bicycle wheel,
so that the faster the rider can pedal
the better he can pray. Although
there appears to be a. spice of sacri-
lege in the practice, it is apparently
catching on, for rumor has it that
American firms are already preparing
machines with Buddhist collects cm-
bossed on the tines, so that the bicycle
will become an instrument of pleasure
and a. prayer

LADIES I want to have a little serious talk with you about bicycles. Of course
you believe your present wheel is' perfection and that no other ma.-
c...ne rivals it, but
HAVE
the guard and rear wheel?
YOU
you ever noticed that while riding your bicycle, either slowly, at
good speed, or on a windy day, your skirt is continually drawn between
no doubt have been thrown off by this disagreeable catching of your
~ skirt, or have torn it until you are disgusted with wheeling.
AN
agent selling bicycles will tell you your dress is too long or not the
proper style, but this is not true. Your dress is all right and becom
ing. The fault lies with the wheel. The guard does not extend back-
ward far enough over the wheel, nor has it the right pitch. The only
two wheels on the market that will not catch your skirt are sold by
me. One is the

To be convinced that I am right, stop
at my store at any time and try either of these wheels.

A GREAT DANDY. ,

TWO HUNDRED PAIRS OF BOOTS.
Prince Albert of Thur‘n and Taxis is Im-
mensely Rich—~Constantly Employ:
Twenty Tailors—Dresses on an Aver»
gge Six Times a Day.
The greatest dandy now living is.
Prince Albert of Thurn and Taxis. He
is a. media-tized prince—that is, one
who is entitled to sovereign rank in
thecourts of Germany and Austria,
although he has lost the power which
originally belonged to that rank. He
is fabulously rich, so that he can in.
dulg‘e his eccentricity of never wear-
ing the same suit of clothes twice
without having to levy taxes on his
twelve subjects. ‘
The Almanach de Goths accredits
him with the title of "Serene. High-
ness,” but it is a. delusion and a lllOt‘li-
ery. \Vliat serenity can a man enjoy
who never relinquishes command of a
standing army of valets. tailors. l) mu
makers and haberdashers, who lilo},
plan and strategize to keep their mus-
ter the bestLdressed man of modern
times. He has able aide‘s-de—cnmp
and spies stationed in every capital
of Europe, who lie in wait. and pounce
on new designs in searfs and waist-
eonts. and then see that every St'l‘ill.‘
left‘from these things isilestroyell. so
that the Prince may never have the
mortification of meeting '3. duplicate
waistcoat or cravat.
Twenty. tailors are kept working
day and night to keep the Prince’s
wardrobe "up to the pro-per standard.
Granting that it takes nine tailors to
make a man, the Prince employs the
sei'viees of a sufficient number of tail-
ors to make two and two-ninths men.-
His cast-off boots number over two
hundred pairs 21 year. He balls with
delight any new or revived Sport that
will enable him to add another cos-
tume to his wardrobe, though his
dressing and undressing preclude his
ever engaging in it. In this way he
has bicycle suits that have never
hiked. golfing suits that have never
golfed; hunting Suits that have never
hunted; fishing suits that have never
fished. He changes his clothes on an
average‘six times at day. His family
