'• Marriage," say the Orientals, " is like a box containing ninety-nine serpents and one eel; if you put your hand into the bos, and if the Gods favor, you daw out the eel, if wt-r Of course you have drawn the eel i Many men don't quite know if they have. They act at first as if thev had got the' eel, aud bjr-and'bye, as a result of their own neglect arid criminal selfishness, the harmless eel turns out a fiery serpent Serves them right. Woman is like the serpent, Squeeze it tight and ft is harmless, handle it gingerly and you'll soon jumpr The young wife answers to the>ame treatment. Squeezing occasionally won't do any harm—at least she seems to take it kindly—but for any sake don't try the stand-off treatmeat; or you'll fare worse than a fat man on tba treadmill, If you've got a good wife, for heaven's sake tell her so Some men treat their wives as if the poor creatures" were fools; when ' perhaps the only foolish act they ever committed was in marrying such apologies for men. Everything that wears trousers and a coat is not a " man "—many are only balf-evoluted, like Robbie Burns* ' something like a man*'; and many a poor woman has found this out to her cost when too late. Mr Seddon said : "Trust the people," *and as a result the people have done handsomely for Richard' So trust your wife, and you'll see she'll amply repay you. There's some scraggy souls who want to know-bow much the last -pennyworth 1 of Uaoklead eest, and bow-many potaroas were in. the last 3d worth, and expect their wiveq to "keepi tally. .. . m Most men have good wives -as "good as they deserve, sometimes heaps, better. -. i Yon can tell a good housewife by her actions. She studies to get the very best possible for the home. For instance, intelligent wives know that Hondai Landa tea is cheapest in the long run, stands a second or even a third water (on a pinch), and is fragrant and pure. They know Hondai Lanka Cock o* the, North is packed in soldered lead in Ceylon, and is therefore free from alteration ; they know their husbinds like a refreshing and reinvigorating tea, and so they provide the delicious Hondai Linda. It's a first-class test if your wife sets Hondai Lanka tea on the table. She's a good wife—tell her so She'll like it.

The Jury o£ 12 Audrain county citi-i sen* in the circuit court at Mexico, Mo., the other day found Godfrey. Winzcr, a German farmer, guilty of working on the Sabbath, commonly called Sunday. He was found guilty on two different charges and was lined ten dollars and costs in each case. The law under which the Indictments were found is as follows: “Every person who shall either labor himself or compel his apprentice or servant or any other person jmder his charge or control to labor or perform any work other than the household offices of daily necessity or other works of necessity or-chari-ty, or who shall be guilty of hunting game or shooting on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding $50.” IVinzer resides in a Christian community, near the Littleby Methodist Episcopal church, south. Hie house ia in proximity to the church. His nearest neighbors, who were the witnesses against him in the eaae, testified that they had seen Winzer defying the Sabbath law by scalding hogs, whitewashing trees, staeking oats and straw and rendering lard on Sunday. These witnesses appeared before the grand jury, and Winxer waa indicted on five different counts. The case was called in the morfclug, and after a hard fight it went to the jury in the evening. Court was held open till nearly ten o'eloek at night waiting for the verdict. Just before adjourning for the evening the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the charges of stacking oate and straw and rendering lard. _ The jury was sent back by Judge Hughes and requested to report in the morning on liie other two count*.

They admit, however, that the law on the question has been decided constitutional, but they claim WinzeF ii not guilty of ridating H.
