Love your husband's mother. Remember she is older than you are, and will probably die first. If you can't do this you had better marry an orphan.
   Don't be ashamed of being "only a woman." If you were a man he probably never would have married you.
   Let your husband have the last word once in awhile. It will give him confidence in himself, and may even make a man of him some day.
   Try and forget yourself once in awhile when you are talking to you (sic) husband. He probably forgets you quickly enough when you are out of town on a visit.
   Don't continually talk about youself when speaking to your husband. Remember that a bore is one who talks about herself when her husband want to talk about himself.
   Let your husband read the paper at the breakfast table if he wants to. It will prevent his making ill natured remarks about the coffee grounds and heavy biscuit.
  Don't be unreasonable; that is, be as reasonable as you can be. It will give you a reputation for originality, which may be very valuable if you ever want to enter a museum.
   Let him think he knows more than you do once in a while. This is especially advisable about the time you want a Easter hat. It is always easy to undeceive him when the bills come in.
   Be a companion to your husband. Call at his office for him every afternoon, and go with him to his club in the evening. Most men love devotion. If this is persisted in for any length of time he will send you to the seashore in the summer, if he has to morgage his dress suit to pay the bill.

A World of Seeming:

It is a world of seeming:
The changeless moon seems changing ever,
The sun sets daily, but sets never.
So near the stars and yet so far;
So small they seem, so large they are;
It is a world of seeming.

And so it seems that she is dead,
Yet so seems only; for instead,
Her life is just begun; and this -
Is but an empty chrysalis
While she, unseen to mortal eyes,
Now wins her way in brighter skies -
Beyond this world of seeming.
            - H. A. Blood in the Century.

     Mrs. Mackay has obtained an exquisite sapphire of brilliant blue, and large size, from a Russian price, who thought more of $150,000 in hard cash than he did of the beautiful gem. But he was only a prince, not an American bonanza king.

       Not as I Will

Blindfolded and alone I stand,
With unknown threshold on each hand:
The darkness deepens as I grope -
Afraid to fear, afraid to hope;
Yet this one thing I learn to know
Each day more surely as I go,
That doors are opened, ways are made,
Burdens are lifted or are laid
By some great law unseen and still
Unfathomed purpose to fulfill,
     "Not as I will"

Blindfolded and alone I wait;
Loss seems too bitter, gain too late;
Too heavy burderns in the load,
And too few helpers on the road;
And joy is weak and grief is strong,
And years and days so ?? ?? long;
Yet this one thing I learn to know,
Each day more surely as I go,
That I am glad the good and ill
By changeless law are ordered still,
     "Not as I will"

"Not as I will", the sound grows sweet
Each time my lips the word repeat;
"Not as I will", the darkeness feels
More safe than light when this thought steals
Like whispered voice to calm and bless
All unrest and loneliness.
"Not as I will", because the One
Who loved us first and last, has gone
Before us on the road, and still
For us must all his love fulfill -
     "Not as I will"

FAIR HELEN'S NECKLACE

Dr. Schliemann's Historic House in Athens - Treasures of Ancient Troy Scattered About in Rich Confusion - Works of a Vanished Art.
   I was in the museum in the Acropolis the other day when a very valuable bronze gilded figurine of Athena was brought in, just taken from the ground, and a large marble statute of the same goddess, with the ropes by which it had been raised, was lying on the floor, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. It had just been laid there. The Acropolis is being quite transformed by excavations now going on. The Polytechnic museum, in which is the Schliemann Mycenio collection, is of wonderful interest. Some of the articles of gold, silver and bronze that Dr. Schliemann unearthed there indicate a wonderful prehistoric civilization, and prove that Homer must have had facts on which to base his stories of the splendor of the palaces of the old kings of Greece.
   The cups, vases and masks of massive gold are wonderful, as is the ornamentation in inlaid work of daggers, sword handles, the cuttings of precious stones in rings and other jewelry. One could spend days in that collection with pleasure and profit. Dr. Schliemann has given the most valuable part of his collection from what he believes to have been the treasures of Troy to the mu-seum in Berlin, still he has in his own house an immense number of vases, cups and many other things very valuable as indications of the standard of art in times of which we have no historic record.
   Dr. Schliemann calls his house in Athens "Ilium Melathron" (the Troy Cottage). It is, however, a marble palace rather than a cot-tage, and they are very hospitable in the use of it for the entertainment of strangers. The roof commands a wonderful view of the Acropolis and many of the classic hills about Athens and the gods and demi-gods of Homer look down from its peaceful battle-ments upon the Athens of today. The treasures in his library and workingrooms would be as much "Greek" to most of us moderns as Shakespeare makes Cicero's speech to the Roman rabble of his day, but they were such as his course of life made necessary and familiar and most valuable to him. My Greek friend was with us there and interpreted the inscriptions over the doors of the different apartment to us, which added greatly to the pleasure of the visit. Dr. Schliemann has studied, thought and lived Homer so long that neither the poet nor his characters are myths to him, but daily com-panions. They tell ??? here that he really believes that he possesses a necklace worn by Helen of Troy.
   Of course there is war between schools of archaeologists as there is between schools of doctors and divines, and there are those who are most incredulous about any Troy having yet been unearthed by Dr. Schliemann or any one else. But that he has found great treasure that must astonish the beholder by their workmanship, richness and art cannot be doubted. The proof is before everyone who wishes to see.

To a Dragon-Fly

Pearl of the insect race,
That around this lonely place
Flashes like a dream,
Like a fairy's rainbow wing
In the sunlight glistening,
Like a dewdrop's gleam.

Thou the tyrant of the air -
Art thou free from every care?
Art thou now content
With thy free and joyous flight
Through thy realm of air and light,
On thy prey intent?

Dost thou know how hopes decay?
Hast thou seen them fade away,
Leaving naught but dust?
Knowest thou the human heart,
How it's treasures all depart?

No, thy life shall soon be o'er;
And this pond's low marshy shore
Where thy wings shown bright,
These shall never see again,
Shall not mock thy efforts vain,
Note each fulite flight.

Thou may'st love and humger feel;
Sickness too, may place the seal,
On thy form like mine;
Thou may'st fifty passions claim
That distress thy little frame
Like man's frame divine.

But the fiercest storms of life,
Of that stern and cruel strife
That turns hearts to stone,
Are not meant for such as thee;
These proclaim man a sovereighty;
Are for him alone!
        -Frederick E. Heydon.

   Hon. Jno. M. Thurston will deliver his famous lecture on Ulysses S. Grant, at Funke's Opera house on next Tuesday evening.

It will be given under the auspices of G. A. R., Farragut post, and is for the benefit of their relief fund. As his talk is of immense interest from beginning to end, it is hoped that the house will be welll filled, which it undoubtedly will.

ROLAND REED

   This favorite comedian will appear at the Funke on Wednesday evening supported by the full strength of his splenndid company. In a recent issue the Inter Ocean says: "Mr. Roland Reed appeared last evening in his amusing characterization of Dick Smythe in 'Cheek.' A short time ago, when this piece was produced here, it achieved an unqualified success. It is full of livelyincidents, pleasing char-acters, humorous phrases, and has many novelties to strengthen it. The part of Dick Smythe is admirably adapted to Mr. Reed, who is an eccentric comedian of unusual power and effectiveness, and he played it with a heartiness, frankness and mirthfulness that makes the performance thoroughtly enjoyable. The play is charmingly put on the stage, great care hav-ing been bestowed upon the special scenes." Chicago Inter Ocean.
