Of the dut es of husband and wife,

ihe \ ounir married woman to try and
•ealize when sha returns from the
Honeymoon trip, that holiday ¡8 over,
nd workaday life has b«gun. She
aeed not be unhappy because she is
busy, 011 the contrary; but she has
duties, and must take them up, and
one of th'-m is the happiness of her
companion, which is practically in her
bauds.
To begin with, try and arrange your
household to suit his taste and wants;
study h s wa s and wishes, and let
h m see you do so. One of the vir-

Slieridau's Reliance on Infantry.
John Austin Stevens, who met Gen.
Sheridan when he was iu Europe dur-
ing the Franco-German war. sa d: 1 *1
met Gen. Sheridan at a breakfast given
by Dr. Belaid, and I asked him why
he was on the Prussia>i side in the war.
lie roplod: 'Mr. Slovens, 1 came
abroad for the purpose—to ascertain
the value of art llerv as against trained
infantry. 1 went over the battle licit I a
where the dead were hastily buried
and turned over the bodies to discover
the nature of their wounds, and the
experience conlirme I m * judgement
that artillera was useless I do not
believe in artillery as an auxiliary oí
war.* Gen. Gibbs, who was with Gen.
his advance against Early, ouce said
to me: *No cannon wa3 ever fired al
Gun. Slier dan thai he did not cap-
ture.'* —jVew York World.
A teacher in a western tow n who
asked one of her pupils to procure a

Remember, if your husband is to
like home, be must be taught to look
for bis comfort there, if ho is a 3iuok-
3r, don't say he may smike all over j
:he house, but lit him up some tmj
?ornerwher- iio can have lis pipes
ai:d his wriiiug-tabie—bis room, to be
invaded by no one, not even by your-
self without his perm ss on. Many a
nervous, overworked man. whose tem-
per is a burden to himself and all
around him, would be softened and be-
come genial if be knew that a cosy
little .den awaited h m at borne, cool in
summer, warm in winter, his wife trim
ami neat as in early days, ready tc
meet lum with a smile.
That some husbands are not amen-
able to such treatment may be trut
enough; where is the general rule
without an exception? But the crit
ical time of oung married 1 fe is the
lirst year or so, and on these depends
almost entirely the future of the
couple.
Butterflies Going South.
Just now the butterflies are going to
O ra
ihe south. Millions of them may be
seen flying eastwarlly; striking the
j gulf they turn toward the east, iu or-
der to reacb Flor da. it is said, but
how instinct guides the little winged
i o n
travelers thus is unexpla ned. They
are generally a bright yellow, and fly
along, sipping now and the i from the
hone, cup of some wild flower. Great
bauds of them may be seen, like so
many broad ribbons stretched in the
air. As we were returning from a
wild flower Jiunt they gathered upon
the blossoms which we held in our
hands, and some of them were do hi yod
on their eastward journey by be ng
carr ed even into the house. August is
the month for this golden travel, and
in early spring they return again.
But the beauty and health g ving
power of this section is the blue Mexio
gulf. The eircl ng shore is such that
the great lighthouse on Ship Island,
twelve m les away, seems to be u front
of every uiau'g door. Cat Island can
be dimly seen, and the trees of Deer
Island are visible even now through
the haze. The oyster schooners dot
the bright water, and pleasure sail
boats, yachts and Letches are seen
around The waters seem of different
lines as the skies above are of ddierent
clouds:—Beuuvjir {Mas.) Cor. Ch.cagj

Adding by Mac binary.
Col. S. E. Austin, formerly of our
town lias been basil'. engaged for sev
eral years in prefecling bis ver* ingen-
ious invention—the adding machine.
Ho is at present in New Haven, Conn.,
where ho has been watch ng tho manu-
facturo of the mach ne, and has atlasl
got it in perfect shape, and ¡s selling d
rapidly io the trade. We have seen
one of the instruments and tind that it
works with great case, rapidity and ac-
curacy. B. touching the ke s you may
rapidly add up a long column of lig-
ures without mental strain. A dial
registers the sum of the figures, after
yon have touched the keys correctly.
Each ligure from one to nine hav.ng
its own key. A little practice makes
one person perfect, so that he can add
with his lingers hy the use of the ma-
chine, much more rap dly and with
more accuracy than by ihe laborious
mental process. It will save many a
bookkeeper hours of severe mental
labor.—fort V< ley ('* .) Mirror.
