JEALOUSY AND HAPPY LIFE. THAT la tho question that bothers many a wife. To be lovod de , votedly Is the ambition of every Woman, but to have that love take the form of exacting suspicion, or a sort of affectionate Jalleiulilp, is not always desirable. Opinions galore are given n this topic and we can ouly judge from the lives that come closest to us, in fact the lives that are lived under our ob servation. To begin with, there Is a couple happy as two young lovers, the husband, how ever, so insanely Jealous of his wife that he has broken off even her women friendships. If she were to walk as far as the gate with another man a tragedy, would bo the almost certain result. Yet, ns we said before, they are bothi serenely happy. Would they be so 14 circumstances brought about a new ex fwtence and set up now conditions? Let us hope so, for it would be a pity to Bpoll their Illusions. From them tie thought wanders to another couple, who see no reason, because they core more for each other than anyone else in the world, why all the other pleasant people should be excluded from their companionship. The wife dances, talks and drives with other men. The hus band dances, talks and drives wth other women. There la no question of Jealousy because there Is perfect con fidence. When they are together they are not bored. The husband Is pleased to have his wife admired and she Is happy to find that she has not married a freak whom no one else would wnnt It Is a hard question to decide and one upon which tho parties themselves alone should sit In judgment, but It Is our belief that Jealousy Is but another name for selfishness, rather than an Indication of any overpowering affec tion.

Before the rebel Brazilian fleet In the harbor of Rio Janeiro, under Admiral De Garaa, surrendered In 1894, Rebel Admiral Mello had sailed out of the harbor in the Aquidaban. The torpedo boats sent by the Brazilian government, to find the ship came upon her in the harbor of Desterro, down the coast. The Gustavo Samplo, which did the torpedoing, Is a torpedo gunboat, iiav lng a bow tube and two broadside launching tubes, two twenty-pounder rapid firing guns and, four three-Inch tildes. She,' In company with a torpedo. l)oatsbmbtlilng 'after the style, of. the.

The " last torpedo struck tl 'A-uMabnn about ten feet below -the"' water line and twenty -five feet abaft the bow, making a hole twelve feet square on the port side and a'round hole three feet in diameter onv the starboard side. The plates fbVse'v eritl. toub around the hole on the i6rt side were -(Crushed In, . ' ' - . The Aquidaban sank in shallow wa ter and was afterward raised and re paired. The 'cut published herewith Is from a photograph taken of the Aqui daban whim she had been placed In dry dock for repairs, and gives an ex cellent Idea of what kind of hole Is made In the bottom of a steel ship when a Whitehead torpedo strikes her. In the civil war in Chili, In 1801, the government cruiser Blanco Encajada was sunk by a torpedo In the harbor of Valparaiso. It was at night and she was lying at anchor with no search lights going and no torpedo nets down. An Insurgent ship came steaming in so that by turning his head slightly In side the helmet the diver can see for some distance around him. The air tubing is of strong, flexible rubber, through which the fresh air from above is driven down by means of a pump. This tube, before reaching the opening In the helmet through which the air Is supplied to the diver, Is carried through a ring on the breast plate at the diver's left shoulder. This is so that he may be able to grasp it quickly, without having to grope for it, In case he needs to signal: to those at the nump above. One pull on the tube rheans'that he wants more air and two pulls warn 'the pumpers that he is -getting too much'. "If the. air were supr. plied in excess the suit woiuld become so buoyant that It would "tend to rise. .After boing";iajd thwsrigh tHer slibuf- der ring the tube goes around ana en ters the helmet at the back,. ..From here the air .passes hr6ugha'.-flt"' ruDtier. tube to the top of tiic.belmew-here the single tube divides into'i'hree branches, one of;.wAAld-gGes'dowh"Xo the -nostrils ami the other to the ears.

There is another opening ln tho back of the helmet, through which the foul air finls: its escape. This rimy be seen coming up to. the top of the water in the form of bubbles. The life rope by which the diver is lowered and raised Is about as thick as an ordinary clothes line. It Is wound securely about his waist and fastened under his arms. Three pulls upon it signify to those above that the diver wishes to come up. lie i 8 OH You can full be cured1 If you suffer from any of the ) ills of men, come to the oldest Specialist on the Faciuc Coast, DR.

No woman's strength Is equal to the demands made upon It by claims -domestic, social and Intellectual of these latter days, ami since this fact Is Indis putable why not look the problem squarely in the face and decide calmly when to shirk? The question, of course, chiefly concerns tho honiokcH'p er; she who endeavors to keep a house up to concert pitch of tidiness and not Just occasionally and In spots, either; but all over and all the time. Besides tho mero sweeping, dusting, arranging nnd menu-providing to bo superintend' ed, thero are, too, the hospitality that she must be ever ready to offer smiling ly, and the duties to herself not to ppeak of church and charltublo work, club life and the claims of society. One cannot do everything; why try? Of course, tho question at once presents Itself: Where shall tho remedy be ap plied? In answer to which common sense, system, a right estimate of essen tials and self-control may be suggested as tho best aids to the conscience In de ciding what shall be loft undone. With a judicious application of "scientific shirking" thero need bo no lasting truth to this statement However de peuernte it may sound, "shirking" Is the only thing by which a woman can, under tho pressure of present living, hope to keep her health and to escape n care-crassed bra In. ' Cure of the Hands. 1 The first iioeifwlty In the care of the hands Is to keep them white and clean. For the roughest of the housework as much as Is possible tdumld be done in gloves. With tho determination to do bo, It will be surprising how few of these dally occupations cannot be literally "Handled with gloves." Tho difference In tho texture of tho ekln, and the ability to cleanse It, will amply repay tho housewife for tho sac rifice of her old gloves and prejudices. As a rule, for washing the hands, neither very hot nor very cold water should be used. A few drops of ammonia or a small ounntlty of ttorax may bo added to soften the water. (irouud mustard is excellent for cleaning tho hands after having hau died strong-smelling substances. After having tho hands a long time In water, rub with a little vinegar or lemon Juice, and thou with oatmeal. MISS KTHKL n. nENJAMIN. every branch of the law.
