"I confesrs that when a man in my line seriously sits down to mcasuro the length, breadth, and exact number of cubic inches to a joke, lie conies to the conclusion that joking bv contract has its drawbacks." So spoke Marshall P. Wilder, the humorist, after his recent trip to Tuckei ton, N. J., whero ho em ployed hit varied talents in the endeavor to convulse with laughter an r.udieneo composed of a few hundred fanners and villagers. Ho labored under some dis advantages on t lie occasion. The mem bers of the reception committee who met him at tin railroad depot impressed upon him the fact that many of the per sons to whom he was to address him self were church members of the strict est type whom an thing approaching to levity would be an unpardonable of fense. They told him, too, that others of the audience were worldly-minded people who had been recently gathered to tho fold, and that they would lose cast with the congregation if they were seen laughing immoderately. Here was state of tilings: "Well," laughed Wilder. "I was in for it and could not shirk tbo responsi bility. Half a dozen local people got on at. the station this sidi of the town to attend the entertainment, and I con fess 1 had my misgivings, for never a ghost of a smile flickered on their faces. The night was chilly, and as 1 stepped on the platform I saw a couple of lig ures looking anxiously into the faces of the arrivals. They were the members of the reception committee, but they looked like a pair of undertakers." " 'I'll be darned if he's come,' said one; 'what aro wo agwine to do, brother?' '"Maybe he's gone to the next sta tion by mistake,' was the grave re sponse. "I took in the situation at once,' pur sued Wilder, "audi thought I'd have my own joke if it wasn't, on the pro gramme. Away drove the committee in a buggy, and, stepping into a stage, closely muffled, I followed. Tho buggy had the start of me by about ten min utes, and when 1 arrived at the hall I heard the loud voice of the chairman making an apology for my non-appearance. Going around by the back door, I persuaded a small boy to call him oil' the stage. As ho came out he scrutin ized my diminutive ligure and exclaim ed: " 'Who on eartli bo you?' "'My name is Wilder Marshall P. Wilder,' I replied. " 'Then whero' s your father?' ' 'He's in New York, 1 guess.' " 'An' where's the humorist?' " "I'm the humorist.' "Wall, I'll 1)0 gol darned if this don't beat punkins!' and lie burst into such an uneontrollablo lit of laughter that 1 thought he'd never stop. 'Just you hold on a minit while I fix things.' Then he rushed on to the platform and raising his hands as though about to pronounce the benediction, he said in a loud voice: " 'Ladies and gentlemen, the humor ist is come.' He couldn't get any fur ther for ho was seized with such a spasm of laughter that I began to feel tho sup ply would give out beforo I could come to his relief.' 'Let's introdtico you properly,' ho added and seizing mo by the arm ho almost dragged mo before ! the audience and then roared: '"This bo the humorist.' "Some laughed and others looked in credulous, but a boy in front, who was apparently contrasting my small liguro with tho tall, bony attitude of the chair man, called out, 'Don't step on him or you'll break him up!' " Mr. Wilder thinks there is good ma terial for laughter in tho town of Tuek erton, but it requires a little fertilizing and cultivation. Ho thinks that in a second or third attempt he may bo able to make somoof the deacons andsistoro smile.

Turn M.utitn:n utr-nxnog. As, Sabbath before hist, I took the responsi bility of telling husbands how they ought to treai their w Ives and, though 1 noticed that some of them squirmed a little In their pew, they endured It well I now take the responsi bility of telling how wives ought to treat their husbands. I hope, your domestic alliance was so happily formed tlint while married life may have revealed In him some frailties that yoii did not suspect, It has nls-i dNplaved excell encies that more than overbalanced them. I siipiK)e that If I could look Into the heart of a hundred wives here present, and ask them where Is the kindest anil best man they know of, and they dined sjieak out, ninety-nine out of a hundred of them will say: "At. the other end of this pew." Though sometimes vou may have snapped each other up a little quick, 1 think the mo-it of yon ate as well paired asu couple of whom 1 have read. The wife said to her husband: "I have made up my mind to be submissive notwithstanding till the misfor tunes that have como Uxiu us" They have lost their children, he had lost his health, and hence, the Income of his profession, and the wife bad teiuxirarlly lot her eeslghl. "Yes," said tho husband, "we ought to be submissive, l.et me see what we have to inbuilt to. First, wo have a home; we can submit lo that. Then we have each other; we can submit lo that. Then we have food and raiment; we can sub mit to that. Then we have a great many friends; we can submit to that. We have a heavenly Father to provide for us" "Stop I Stop!" said the wile, "1 will talk no moro about suhmli-slou." XO Itl SJIANl) WOHSK THAN A1HU IhoK' my sister that you have married n man ii h Christian and as well-balanced as that. Hut even If you wero worsted in conjugal bar gain, you cannot be worse oil than this Abi gail in my text. Her husband was coarse and ungrateful, an Inebriate, for on the very even ing after her heroic achievement at the foot of the hill, where she captured a whole regiment with Her genial ami strategic behavior, she re turned home and found her husband so drunk that she could not tell him the story, but had to Mistone II until the next day. So, iny sis ter, I do not want you to keep saying within yourself lis I proceed: "That Is tho way to treat u perfect husband:" for yon urn to re member that no wife was ever worsa swindled than this Abigail of my text. At tho other end of her table set a mean, selllnh. snarling, contemptible sot, and If she could do so well for a dasUird, how ought you to do with that princely and splendid man with whom you aro to walk tho path of life I MK ISATTI.KS to 11K ltl'..Mi:MIII',l(IUI. Firsts I counsel tho wife to remember In what a Severn and tcrrflllc battle of life her husband Is engaged. Whether In professional or commercial or artistic or mecliaiilcal life, your, husband from morning to night Is In a Solfcrlno if not u Sedan. It Is a wonder that your husband has any nerves or patience or suavity left. To get ii living In tills next to tho last decade of tho nineteenth century Is a struggle. If ho come homeland sit down pro-'xrutili-d. you ought to excuse him. If ho do not feel like going out that night for a walk or mtcrtaimnent. remember that ho has been out all day. You say he ought to leave at his plai) of business his annoyances ami come homo cheery. Hut If a man bus been betrayed hy a business partner, or a customer has Jock eyed him out of a large bill of goods, or a pro tested note has been Hung on his desk, or somebody has railed him a liar, and everything has goiio wrong from morning to night, ho must have great genius and forgctfulncss If ho do not bring some of tho perplexity home with Jilin. When you tell mo ho ought to leave It ull at tho store, or hank or shop, you might as well toll u storm on tho Atlantic to stay out there ami not touch tho coast or rlpnlo the harbor, Hemciuber ho Is not overwoiklng so much for himself si he Is overworking for you and tho children. It is the effect of hi sue cess or defeat on tho homestead that causes him tho agitation, MK.V I.IVK Hilt THEtK KAMIMK. The most of men after )' years of age live not for themselves but for their families. They begin to ask themselves anxiously the question: "How If I should give out what would bocomo of tho folks at home I Would my children ever get their education I Would my wife have U go out Into tho world to earn bread for herself und our little ones J My eyesight troubhis me, how If my eu' should fail I My head gt-Ui dlziy, how If I should drop uddn apoplexy I Tho high prt-s- euro of bulncs life and moehanlcJl life am! agricultural life as home presure.

" TTUrTi i:ks Mosr i:r.N"nw. I charge also the wife to keep herelf a at rncthc after matrlage as she was before mar riage. The reus in that so often a man cease to love his w I ft Is because the wife cea-es to be lovable. In manv cases what elaboration of toilet before uiairlage and w hat recklessness of appearance after. The most disgusting thing on eartli Is a slatternly woman. 1 mean a woman who never combs her hair until she goes nut. or looks like u fright until somclmdy cull.:. That a man mairled to one of these creatures stas at home as little as possible is no wonder. It js a wonder that, such a man does not go on a whaling voyage of three cars and lii a leaking ship. Costly waidrobii Is nut required; but, O, woman! If you are not willing, by all that lugenultyof rclfncmcut can effect, to "make yourself attractive to jour bus. baud, you ought not to complain If he seek in other "society those pleasant surroundings which on deny him. I'AMii.r HKcimrs most sAriu:u. Again 1 charge joit, never talk to other nlKiut the fralltlts'of your husband. Some people have a way, In banter, of elaborately describing to others the shortcomings or un happy eccentricities of a husband or wife. Ah, I lie world will tlnd out soon enough all the de fects of vour companion. No need of our adver tising them, (letter initiate those w'omun who, having made mistake hi alliance, always have a veil to hide Imperfections and alleviation of conduct to mention. Wo must admit that there are rare cases w here a wifo can not live longer with her husband, and Ids cruelties and outrages are the precursor of divorcement or separation. Hut until that day comes keep the awlul secret to Mini-self. Keen It from every being In the universe, except 1 lie (lod to whom you do well to tell your trouble. Trouble only ii few years at most, and then j mi can go up on the' other side of the grave and say: "O, Lord, I kept the martial secret. Thou knowest how well I kept It, and I thank Thee that, the release has con e at last. (!lvo mo some place where I can sit down and rest awhile from the horrors of an cmbrutetl earthly alliance, beforo 1 begin the full raptures of heaven " And or ders will be sent out lo tbo usher angels, say ing: "Take this Abigail right up to the soft est seat in the liest room of the palace, and Jet twenty of the brightest angels wait on her for tlio next thou-aud years." mi:iiii.i:iis not to in: toluiiathd. Furthermore, I charge ou, let there lie no outside Interference with the conjugal relation. Neither neighbor nor confidential friend, nor brother nor sister, nor father nor mother have a right to come In here. The married gossip will conic around and by tbo hour tell you how sho manages her husband. You tell her plainly that If she will attend to tho a tin Irs of her household on will attend to yours. What damage some "people do with tbelr tongues I Nature indicates that the tongue Is a danger ous thing by the fact that It Is shut In, llrst by a barricade of teeth and then by tho door of tho lips Ono Insldiious talker can keep u whole neighborhood badly stirred up. The Asislle I'etcr excoriated these husybodlos In other people's mat tern ami St. Paul, hi his letter to tho Thess-donlans ami to Timothy, gives them a sharp dig, and the good house wife will be on tin lookout for them ami never return their calls and treat them with e 1 lest frigidity. For this icason better keep house as stHin as jMisslble. Some ooplii aro opposed to them, hut I thank (lotl for what are called Mats In these cities. They put upn separate home within the means of nearly all the impu tation. In vour married relations jou do not need any advice. If jou and your husband have not skill enough to get along well alone, with all the advice vou can Inqsirt you will get along worse. What you want for jour craft on tills voyage is plenty of sea room. i.nti:i.i.mii:nit. nickhki'i. roit wivks. I charge you also, make yourself the Intelli gent eomnaiilon of vour husband. What with these Hoods of newspapers and books there Is no excuse for a wife's Igtioraneo either about tho prcfent or tho past. If you have no moro than a half hour every day to yourself you may 1111 your mind with entertaining and use fill knowledge, bet the merchant's wife read up on all mercantile questions, and mechanic's wifo on all that "-rtaltis to his style of work, and the professional man's wife on all the legal or medical or theological or jiolltlcal discus sions of the day. It Is very stupid for a man, after having been amid active minds all day, to Hud his wife without Information or opin ions on anj thing. If the wife knows nothing about what Is going on In tho world utter the tea hour has passed, ami the husband has read thl' newspaper, lie will have uu engagement and must go and see u mau. In nine ruses out of ten when a man does not stay at home In the evening, unless ios!t!vo duty calls iilui away, it is neeuuse mere is noiuing lo slay for." Ho would rather talk with Ids wifo than any one else It she could talk as well. lmioiiT iiomi: ai.wavh iikhiiuui.i:, I charge you, my sister, in every way to mnke your homo attractive, 1 have not enough of praetlea.1 knowledge about house adornment to Know Just what makes tho dif ference; hut hero Is uu opulent hoilfce, contain ing all wealth of brlc-u-brac, und of musical Instrument, and of painting, ami of upholstery ; ami yet there Is In it a chili like Nova Xcmhla.

A wlfu and mother In prospered circum stances and greatly admired was giving her chief time to social life. The husband sjs'iit his evenings uwuy. The son, 115 years of age, got tho same liablt uhd there was a prospect that the other children, as they got old enough, would take the same turn. One day tho wife urouned to tho considera tion that she hail better save her husband and her boy. Interesting uud stirring games were Introduced Into the house. Tho mother stud ied up Interesting things to tell her children. One morning tho son sulci: "Father, you ought to have been homo last night. Wo had a grand time. Such Jolly games, and such Interesting stories. This went on from night to night, and after a while tho husband stayed la to see what was going on, and ho Dually got attracted and ad ded something of his own t the evening enter tainments, and tho reiiilt was that tho wife und mother saved her husband and saved her hoy and saved herself.
