Oyster Roasts
Woollam’s Lake.
If you want to enjoy an Oyster Roast with
your friends with our having to go to the expense
of hiring conveyances to go miles down the is-
land, and having the trouble of getting every-
thing in readiness, just telephone to Woollam,
No. 349, tell him how many you have to provide
for and the character of refreshments you want,
when you want ic served, and you will find
everything ready and in order.
Points for Husbands.
Do not jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is clanger of
wounding her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you utter,
though you never think of it again. Do
not speak of some virtue in another
man’s wife to remind youi- own of a
fault. Do not reproach your wife with
personal defects, for, if she has sensi-
bility, you inflict a wound difficult to
heal. Do not treat your wife with in-
attention in company. Do not upbraid
her in the presence of a third person,
nor entertain her with praising the
beauty and accomplishments of other
women. Do not be stern and silent in
your house, and remarkable for sociabil-
ity elsewhere.
Remember that your wife has as much
need of recreation as yourself, and de-
vote a portion, at least, of your leisure
hours to such society and amusements as
you may join. By so doing you will se-
cure her smiles and increase her affec-
tion. Do not, being too exact in pecuni-
ary matters, make your wife feel her
dependence upon bounty. It tends to
lessen her dignity of character and does
not increase her esteem for you. If she
is a sensible woman she should be ac-
quainted with your business and know
your income, that she may regulate her
household expenses accordingly. Do
not withhold this knowledge in order to
cover your own extravagance. Women
have a keen perception. Be sure she
will discover your selfishness, and,
though no word is spoken, from that
moment her respect is lessened and her
confidence diminished, pride wounded,
and a thousand, perhaps unjust, sus-
picions created. From that moment is
your domestic comfort on the wane.—

Amateur Photography.
Some people have queer ideas about ama-
teur photography. Occasionally some one
says to me: “I believe I’ll take a week off
and learn the business;” and another, “I’ve
got $20 to invest in it, and I want you to
pick me up a first-class outfit.” To the one I
would say, “You would be wasting your time,”
and to the other, “Better save your money.”
It takes months, and for most people years,
to become proficient enough in the practice
of photography to get any solid enjoyment
out of it. And as for cost, while it is not
really an expensive pleasure as compared
with other as valuable accomplishments, asat-
isfactory complete outfit for general work
cannot be obtained for less than $100—many
amateurs spend twice that amount before
they get apparatus for the successful practice
of both indoor and outdoor branches of the
business.—Interview in St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

How to Keep a Cat.
A lady in the northwest section has
recently taken possession of an old
house. To her great sorrow she found
the place overrun with rats and mice.
Rats and mice of the wariest and most
suspicious kind, too. Traps were set in
profusion and in vain. She dared not
use poison for fear the rodents would die
in the walls. Her kitchen was presided
over by her old mammy, a colored wo-
man of ample proportions and great age.
“I don’t know what 1 am to do, Maum
Becky, with these rats and mice,” said
the lady in despair.
“Wat matter wid er cat?”
“But we have no cat, and before we
can raise a kitten large enough to catch
rats they will have eaten us out of house
and home.”
“Wat matter wid sen’ Jim out er
alley, ketch strange cat? Plenty cat in
alley. Nobody keer ’bout one cat.”
“But what is the use to talk such non-
sense, Maum Becky? A strange cat
wouldn’t stay in the house five minutes,
if Jim should catch one.”
Miss Lizzie, Maum Becky ’sprised ’n’
shame to year you talk so. Is I done
raise you up f’um lil’ baby, ’n’ see you
mar’id ’n’ a home ob yo’ own, ’n’ den
year you ’fess sech ign’ance? Not kip
strange cat in ’e house minute? You
don’ know how kip strange cat in house?
Lemme tell you an’ don’t you nebber
furgit. Fus’ you ketch de cat. Den
you tek er ol’ boot laig, ’n’ put de cat
head fus’ down ’e boot laig. Pull de cat
bin’ laigs froo de straps, des’ so he kyarn’
use he claw. Den you put cat haid un’r
yo’ ahm, so, an’ walk back’ard to de firs’
step ob po’ch. Den tek er kyarvin knife er
a scissors ’n’ snip off tip er cat tail. Den
tek yo’ finger ’n’ dig lil’ hole un’r step
’n’ bury tip er tail in ’e hole. Fo’ God,
dat cat nebber leave er place so long dat
cat tail stay in ’e hole.”—Washington
