When men hsvo learned to appro
cialo woman's industry and economy
when they hsvo learned to enu
rcerale the amount ot money saved
by their wives ami sisters, they will
cease to talk about their expensive
taslos and habits. The wife of the
laboriii'r man, in this couatry, makes
it nossiblo for him to iret a home of
his own. The wife ot the mechanic
who, by her trugil habits au J strict
economy, enables her husband to
keep his family of live or six on that
which would not board and clothe
two, it she did not nothing else, de
serves a belter reward than being
told she earns nothing and is support
ed by her husband. Tho woman who
cooks, makes clothing, washes, irons,
sweep and dtuds, who dots an un
told amount ot labor that would cost
the husband hundreds ot dollars an
nually, if others performed the work,
should not be insulted by being told
that she is wanin-' her husband's
hard earnings, if hI.h buys a good
dress occasionally. The farmer
wile who milks, churns and keeps the
family in groceries, and, as if frequent
ly tho case, clothes herself ami
daughters with her butter money,
should least bo permitted to call one
dime her own, and not to he told she
belongs to the clues ot non-producers
Tho educated woman, who says to
her husband, ''I can earn at J aiming
teachin", music, or writing, more

was ihe queer devices ot dying per
sons lo protect their bodies Irani the
resurrectionists. In Iuckin:haiiHhire
a Major Backhouse, an old East In

a solid pyramid of Hint, twelvo feel
square at the base, iu which he was
placed upright, a drawn sword iu his
hand.
A baronot ot Yorkshire was buried
at night ten feel deep in a level pota

at once to remove all chance ot dis.
covery. Another country gentle
man s colli n was swung lo tho
branches of an oak tree in trout ct his
hall door. Another was coveied
with twenty Ions of slono, and still
another cased iu lead and liuiig lo a
beam of his own barn.
The terror extended evoa to this

Ihe death ot the existing Dukes, but
the Duke ot Buckingham, who is mid

again. The inferior ttiguilics ot these

lo their relatives, so that their deaths

Dukedoms, older than royal, Ab r-

remained in lho runuiug and ne may

such distinction even less than his

a Dukedom had he pleased. Bui

crusty, caustic aud uncomplimentary

some four or live of the Dukes can
match Lord Derby iu point ot in

semi feudal stylo, the Stanleys have
never been spendthrifts.
