There is nothing so absolutely false in this whole domestic menage as the fiction which the young wife generally voices soon after her marriage, and which at the time she absolutely be- lieves in, namely her husbands friends will be welcome at any and all times. Every husband believes it and, poor, rash man, acts upon it, thinking that -he is wedded to the most perfect wo- man on earth and that his home is un- like any other founded on this mun- dane sphere. Alack and alas! he, l1ke thousands of others, discovers sooner or later gen- erally sooner—that they were words, idle words, and that there are times and seasons when his friends are not only distinctly not welcome but abso- lutely and horribly de trop. N ow when this fact is borne home to him with due emphasis, there is no reason why he should put all the blame on the poorlittle woman, who undoubt- edly feels ten times more put out by the contretemps than he himself. Of course, remembering only her cordial sentiment. how could he keep in mind that Monday they always ate left-overs, or that she told him in the morning the cook had decided to leave that day. ‘ There is no use when this annoying thing occurs for the wife to be so over whelmed with embarrassment that she sits silent and almost tearful through the entire meal, giving the visitor the impression that he is participating in a funeral feast and imbedding in his heart a rare pity for the poor fellow tied for life to such a stern and stony- faced disciplinarian.‘ Every man be he bachelor or bene- dict, knows that “company” meals are not on tap in any save the household of a millionaire, and if the wife is only wise enough to realize this she can with her own bright welcome and a little tact make the plaincst meal ap- pear a veritable epicurean delight to the outsider. She ought to consider that what she deemed good enough for her husband should be good enough for any one else on earth. If she has so far forgotton her wifely obligations as to palm off a really meagre or unpalatable meal on the one who provides for her sup— port, so that by stinting the table she can swell the pockets of her dress-mak- er, then she ought to be made to feel ashamed of herself and no lesson can be too severe for her to learn . Hospitality. is a keynote to domestic happiness, and it need not be lavish to act its proper part in making the home . the first place a man thinks of taking his friends, sure that no sour looks will greet him if he happens to issue the in- vitation on wash day or the maid’s day on t. ' my gay/.4. «74%.. Feminine Chat. We always regard as a true friend the person who never says, “I told you so.” A single rufile sewed on the skirt facing is enough to make some women pose as though they were about to per- form a passeul. There may be some married men who honestly were afraid they might be refused when they proposed, but there are very few,of them. The fingers of the left hand are al- ways better kept than those of the right, if a woman is her own manicure, and is not ambidextrous. It isn’t always the man whose photo- graph is in the heart frame who is really in the heart. He may have pre- sented photograph and frame together. ’ Why do the wonderful composr tions that flit through our minds just before going to sleep never resolve themselves into anything tangible when we awake.

Shea Company ' In addition to “The-Man-o’-War’s Man,” which appears at Hoyt’s Thea.- tré Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Shea will present his interpretation of the double character of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. ” He has been seen in this thrilling part in many of the larger cit- ies in this country, and it reported that in every instance he has given great satisfaction. since Robert Louis Stevenson wrote his 1i1arvelous book many actors have attempted to enact the dual role. Very few of these have succeeded, and the reason is plain, for it requires an actor of unusual ability to portray these widely different characters. Dr. Jekyll is a meek mild-mannered gentleman with the face and bearing of a student, while Mr. Hyde is nothing short of a devil of so revolting an appearance that the spectators shudder whenever he appears. In the hands of Thomas’ E. Shea these two individuals are rep- resented so faithfully that several crit- ics in cities where he has been seen have so far as to say that no actor sur- passes him. He will present “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” the Bells, Slaves of Sin togetherwith others during his stay in this city thls week at popular prices. Lightning on tho‘WEhijlzu-n Monument. One of the best evidences of the value of lightning rods up to date has been afforded by the Washington Mon- ument. it is capped by a sun“ four- sided pyramid of aluminum, which metal. so cheap 10-day, was very cost- ly at the time of the building of the greatest obelisk that the world has ever known. This aluminum tip is connected with the ground by fourcop- per rods which go down deep into the earth. On April 15, 1895, five immense bolts of electricity were seen to flash between the monument and a thunder cloud overhanging in the course of. twenty minutes. In other words, the monument was struck fiercely five times, but it sufifercd no damage what- ever. On June 15 of the same year a more tremendous assault was made upon the monument from the heavens. and the result was 1a fracture of one of the topmost stones. The crack still remains to show what nature can do in the way of an electrical shock, but the sligh-tness of the damage is evi- dence of man's power to protect him- self from such attacks. The obelisk is ideally located for attracting elec- trical assaults from the ski-es, and yet. while many times hit, it has suffered only once, and that time to a trifling extent—vBoston Transcrpt. “Do you see that tall girl with the fluffy brown hair, over there?” “The one with the pink roses in 'her bodice?” “Yes. She knows French, German, Latin, and Greek, besides English, and she took the honors of her class when she was graduated, a fewweeks ago.” “Pshaw, that can't be right. There must be some mistake. Why, that girl is actually beautifull”—Cleveland Leader. .. 11011011: I offer for sale the homestead of James G. Lane and wife, .. Winnipauk. For particulars, enquire of GEORGE B.
