-a’ttr Makes an* Ideal Wife, Form
Usually a Moody Husband.,
in u household where there nre sev­
eral boys or'where there are boys and
girls some one In the circle is the one
i altogether lovely. The confession does
not come from the father or mother,
but observing visiting friends to the
household realize the fact before many
calls have been made.
“
It is a common impression that the
! only child, whether boy or girl, soon
becomes aware of his or her impor­
tance nt home. To adapt a common
expression, the only child Is always
spoiled, and it is not always the only’s
fault.
To return to the first statement,
does the favorite boy in a household
I of boys make a better husband than
his brothers, and does the favorite
. girl make the sort of wife that has
been predicted before she quits home?
i To put if another way, does she make
a better wife than the favorite brother
makes a tietter husband?
In a home of boys the favorite is
mother's boy. The other brothers are
not envious of his classification. Un­
less the favorite is an exception to the
rule he has, in the estimation of his
.' brothers, an effeminate composition.
The opinion may not always be Just,
but the favorite carries the handicap
all his life, or at least as long as he is
under the paternal roof and under the
maternal Influence. Generally the fa­
vorite brother is the first to have a
sweetheart. The other brothers charge
fids up to tlie mother. If the sweet­
heart has been picked by the mother,
all the greater a favorite he with his
mother. One of the inconsistencies of
lhe situation Is that this favorite is
not alwayt the youngest boy of the
family. If the last born reflects any
of his father’s traits you may be sure
that he Is not the favorite.
Wlien comes the time for the favor­
ite to stand before the altar he Is the
recipient of every attention which the
family can bestow. This is not strange,
for tlie first marriage in a family is
the event of events, especially where
the affair meets with family approba­
tion. When tlie wedding is over, when
the rainbow season lias passed And the
twain enter upon that period where
better and worse mwt on the common
level, when the friends of the family
watch and wait to ascertain whether
the match was well mated, the test
comes apace.
There seems to be an unwritten law
which warrants a newly married cou­
ple to eliminate their former friends.
•t K
Tin« bottom scale of prices is reached
by the poor seamstresses of Paris.
They toil from dawn to dark in the
making of children’s clothes. One cent
an hour is the estimated stipend, but if
tlie work is exceptionally clever they
can earn 35 cents for twelve hours’
work. Female house servants receive
about ?8 a month. Saleswomen in the
largest department stores earn about
$00 a month.
More than 0,000 patents have been
issued by the United States office to
women. Some of them are for car

A HARD TASKMASTER.

»gasili Forced Hi« Pupils to Find Out
For Themselves,
When I sat me down before my tin
pun Agassiz brought me a small fish,
placing it before me with the rather
‘ stern requirement that I should study
it, but should ou uo account talk tu
any one concerning it or rend any­
thing conierning fishes until I had bls
permission so to do. To my inquiry,
“What shall 1 do?" he said in effect:
“Find out what you can without dam­
aging the »¡teciinen. When I think
that you have done the work I will
question you.” In <he course of au
hour I thought I had conqiassed that
fish But Agassiz, thougli always
within call, concerned himself no fur­
ther with me that day nor the next
nor for a week. At first this neglect
was distressing But I saw that it
was a game, for he was, us I discern
ed rather than saw. covertly watching
me. So I set my wits to work upon
the thing and In the course of a hun­
dred hours or so thought 1 had done
much, a hundred times as much as
seemed possible at the start. I felt
full of the subject and probably ex­
pressed it in my bearing. As for
words about It then, there were none
from my master, except his cheery
“Good morning.” At length on tlie
seventh day came the question,
“Well?” nnd my disgorge of learning
to him as he sat on the edge of my
table, ¡luffing his cigar. At the end of
the hour's telling he swung oft’ and
away, saying, “That is not right.”
I went at the tusk anew, discarded
my first notes, and in another week
of ten hours a day labor I had results
which astonished myself and satisfied
him. Still there was no trace of praise
in words or manner. He signified that
it would do by placing before me
about a half a peck of bones, telling
me to see what I could make of them,
with no further directions to guide
me. Two months or more went to
this task, with no other help than an
occasional looking over tnv grouping
with the stereotyped remark, “That is
not right.” Finally the task was done,
and I was again set upon alcoholic
specimens. — “Autobiography of Pro­

Michael Tiernan had been sent to
school when a boy, had been brought
np religiously, and his associates were
respectable ¡teople of the working
class. Mike was a good workman,
but when the commercial panic of
1907 came in, with thousands of oth­
ers, he dropped out of employment.
■ Having a wife and several children,
bls heartstrings were strained by 11
terrific tension. To see bls little ones

Mike’s boy, I.fttlc

Little Mike became 111, and tempta­
tion came to Ills, father at tbe same
time. Little Mike's calling for food
that was not to lie had, needing med­
ical attendance that was only for the
prosperous, was too much for Mike.
He was approached by two men who
were entering houses and appropriât
Ing the contents. They wanted a third
to assist them and made him a prop­
osition. The question “What should
he do?” is one that has puzzled tbe
best intellects, in the eye of society
there is but one answer.
A few days later the three men, I’at
Dolan, Jim Muiqiliy and Mike, broke
into a dwelling in the center of large
grounds, far enough from other houses
to enable them to work without being
heard by the neighbors. One of the
women of the family, awakened by a
