Sunday News* In these days of early summer, when ?0 many "sweet girl graduates" have bidden good-bye to school life and arc prepared to take their plaoes in the social world, a few words of advice from the last number of the Ladies' Home Journal upon the eubject of what constitutes a good husband may be of interest and service to them. For notwithstanding all that these fair graduates said in their graduation essays about the lofty missions of wo? men in these closing days of the nine? teenth century, and in spite of the protestations made by many of them that "marriage is not the chief aim and end of a woman's existence," we feel convinced that most of them will marry and become model wives and mothers, and we are also convinced that in their heart of hearts they think BD themselves, and that they would be very sorry to spend the remainder of their lives "in single blessedness," no matter what emi? nence thoy might thereby attain in the world of science, literature or art-. All these things are very fine and useful, bnt they never quite satisfy the heaven-implanted desire in a wo I man's heart for domestic life and domestic ties, Since, then, marriage is inevitable?for all the lovely girls we have seen graduate in Charleston within the past few weeks are "Too lair to be left to braid St. Cathe? rine'? tressee?" let ns hear what the editor of the Journal has to say to them : "Girli, when they approach the age of possi? ble betrothal, are often eantioned by their parents as to the qualities which certain young men of their acquain? tance possess. * * * The girl asks in desperation, 'What, then, are the qualities most likely to insure, happiness to a wife ?' and it is this question which the editor has caused to be submitted to eight women of mind and broad culture, with the re? sults indicated below." The first of these answers is from Mrs, Phelps-Ward, who is known per? sonally to a few of our readers, and by her writings to them all. In her judgment tenderness is the most essential qualification, but she .ex? plains that this quality is not to be assumed as a characteristic because a man is tender to the girl he loves ; all men who are not idiots or brutes are that. To discover his real disposition his fiance must examine his home life and see how he treats his parents, sisters, and others dependent in some degree npon his kindness; whether he is habitually thoughtful, kind, sympathetic, unselfish, tender, trne and gentle towards them. If he stands this test well, then a girl need not have much fear of entrusting her future to his keeping, only she must Bee to it that "she does not let him outdo her in these qualities for which she has loved him most and longest." Mary Hallock Foote is the next speaker and, ao one might expect from this writer of so many stories of Wes? tern and soldier life, manliness seems in her eyes the first quality a woman should desire in her husband. She very properly distinguishes, however, between the highest acceptation oi this word, which is its moral and mental meaning, and the mere manli nesB which can be measured by inches and muscles. Because a young man is his college's champion in rowing, foot ball or any of the other athletic exeroises of the day, that is no reason for believing he possesses the clear judgment to recognize the right and to hold to it ander all circumstances, and the courage to face all of good or ill whioh life may have in store for him. Too often men of great physical strength are selfish^ cruel, and weak to withstand the temptations of their passions; they "train" for a while to obtain some object, and then relapse into long periods of self-indulgence. Good temper is the trait which "The Duchess'' thinks goes farthest towards making home life happy, and if we pause a moment to think of a few of the homes we are best acquainted with, we will recognise how much reason there is in her decision. A sunny disposition in a man or a woman is a blessing to everyone who comes within its influence, and it is by their bright smile, merry laugh and serene brow that we love to recall some of our dear ones who have long vanished from our earthly sight. With a good temper, a kind heart and many of the other vir? tues are usually combined, although in some instances it is united with an indolence and a careless self-indul? gence that make a man utterly good for nothing so far as earning , a living is concerned. With all our affection . for the genial old Rip Van Winkle one can not help feeling some sympathy with his wife, and we are not surpris? ed that her temper and her tongue sometimes overcame her patience with him. We can all recall some parallel cases in real life, but it is usually the good tempered, good-for-naught hus? band whom everyone likes and pities, not the much-suffering wife, while too often her temper is unjustly consider? ed the cause instead of the effect of his worthlessness. The Duchess warns the wives who have drawn the prize of a good tempered husband to see that they do not abuse the gift. "The sweetest temper in the world can be ruined. Give him smile for smile and be sure to bear with him, as he is sure to bear with you." Mrs. Amelia Barr does not confine herself to any one qualification in her description of "the perfect man" that should be the life companion. Simi? larity of tastes, she thinks, should be considered, as without this a married couple are likely to grow away from each other through the habit of each pursuing his or her special employ? ments and pleasures. Then a hus? band should have genuine piety, or should be a man who is naturally religious, "one who would serve. God if the devil were dead and there were not a church within a thousand miles of him." Next to these qualities she places unselfishness, patience, affec? tion and especially industry. In com? menting on this last trait she thinks a man should have some occupation, "if even it be but sailing a yacht or mak? ing a butterfly collection," for a man without a motive in life makes himself and everyone around him miserable. There is one word of warning in connection with this last qualification that it is unusual for people to speak out, although nearly all think it, and every day of our lives we witness the folly of girls disregarding the advice of friends upon this point. "Do not choose a poor, struggling man. A man in this age has no right to talk of j love in a cottage, and roses and honey-1 suckles to pay the rent. No man who ! really loves a girl will ask her to share with him the ugly wretchedness and limitations of poverty. If he is in I earnest about getting a home and a wife, he will work and save for that purpose; if he can not manage this before marriage he will certainly not manage it after marriage. Marrying is easy, housekeeping is hard." Housekeeping on nothing is especially hard, and the man who marries and expects his friends, or his wife's friends, support him is simply too mean-spirited for any sensible girl to marry. But in spite of this fact not a week passes that some such marriage does not take place and the unfailing comment of outsiders is: "What a1 pair of fools ! Wn?t are tneT"going to live on ?" Perhaps the happy couple have not got far enough to consider that question, but the answer is a foregone conclusion. ??hey will live on the charity of relatives so long as they can, and after that upon the charity of the public, or else the hus? band will take money that does not belong to him and bring disgrace on them both and on their children. Above ail things let a woman be sure that her husband is temperate. No matter how many Other good qual? ities a man possesses, if he cannot control his love for intoxicating drink he cab not make a woman happy ; and whether their home bo the most lux? urious or the most poverty stri?Icen, it is always a pkco at misery t? a woman who knoWs not at what mo? ment her husband may be brought home drunk. Thousands of gentle, noble wives to-day are leading lives of misery because of this fear that is ever at their hearts, although their lips are loyally sealed even to their dearest friends, and never a reproach or a cold look meets the husband as he comes home day after day stupified by the effects of drink. It would seem- that a man must needs have a he#K$?f stone or of a fiend who would notvjbe shamed into reform by suoh love and tenderness. How lacking in manliness he must be who would not for the sake of such a wife resolutely set himself to overcome the demon that is destroying both his life and her happiness. But, when all other qualifications for a good husband have been found, if there exists so great perfection upon earth, there still remains one other point of which a woman should be very sure, and that is that a man really loves her. Be very certain that it is not for the social standing and business influence of your family, for your moneys or solelj' fot-your beattty he is marrying, you. All these may fade and pass away, and it is only the purest and most disinterested affection -that can survive the trials incident to all but the most fortunate marriages. litre's a Big Snake Story. A most peculiar and interesting snake story is told by a bicyclist who rode one of the relays in the race across Ohio from Sandusky to Ports? mouth recently. It will be remem? bered that the entire distance of 214 miles was covered in 12J hours, and from this it will be seen that at no time could the speed have been slow. The rider declares that while wheel? ing at a good gait, he reached the top of a long slope, which gradually drop? ped to the bed of a stream. When near the bottom of the hill his speed must have been nearly a 25-mile gait. While going at this speed he discover? ed what he took to be a limb lying across the road. As he came closer, and too late to turn out, he discovered that the supposed limb was a snake about 10 feet long, and just beyond, a second reptile of nearly equal length. His wheel struck the nearest snake and went over easily, but the reptile in some way gave warning to its com? panion, which raised its head and struck savagely at the shimmering spokes. The snake's head passed be? tween the spokes near the hub, and the snake fastened its fangs on the spokes at the opposite side of the wheel. The effect of this was to slacken the speed of the bicycle, and the rider was almost thrown from his wheel by the sudden stop, but maintained his seat and kept his machine going straight ahead. It was remarkable that the knife-like revolutions of these spokes did not cut the snake in two, but the long body of the snake was drawn within the wheel, and the centrifugal force threw it close to the felloe, where it lay curled around the circum? ference of the wheel and quite safe. The rider dared not stop for fear of being bitten, and was afraid of increas? ing his speed lest the snake should slip from the wheel, and, becoming entangled, throw him to the ground. He noticed, however, that his speed was becoming gradually less, but attributed this to the fact that he was going up the hill and to the weight of the reptile. But as he reached the top of the hill he heard a scraping and hissing noise behind him, and turned to ascertain the cause; he was horri? fied to see that the second and larger snake was also caught in the bicycle and was holding on by its tail. The wheelman now decided to in? crease his speed, in order to shake his second enemy, And strained every muscle to attain a higher speed, but the dead weight of the snake drag? ging in the dust behind proved too much for his. already tried muscles. With two miles.to go before he met the next relay, .he was in a quandary as to how he would escape, but glanc? ing back, he saw that the snake had twined its tail around the little step by which a rider mounts a bicycle. The step was of the pattern called the "rat trap," because of its sharp teeth on the upper side. The wheel? man, taking in the situation, reached back with his left foot and brought the heel of his shoe down forcibly upon the snake's tail, completely severing it and causing the snake to drop off. The reptile hissed and started in pursuit, but the bicycle was easily kept in the lead. A farmer came along, and, being attacked by the snake, killed it. The bicyclist a short distance further on finished his run. Arming himself with a club, he ex? amined his wheel, and found that the other snake was dead, and not only that, but it was literally cut into small bits. The centrifugal force had been so great that it had forced the body of the snake deeper and deeper into the apex of the spokes, and the reptile was cut into chunks and had to be removed bit by bit.?New York World. She Used the Wrong Powder. A young lady living on North Merid? ian street had an experience the other evening, says the'IndianapoliB Senti? nel. She was up stairs, and had just turned out her light when she heard a caller ask for her. She made a dive for her powder-puff in tbe dirk, and dusted her face with powder. She went to thep'arlor and found a distin? guished stranger, on whom she was anxious to make an impression. He appeared rather nonplussed at her looks, but being a man of the world, which means a man wise enough not to tell a woman her faults, he said nothing. She sat and ohatted grace? fully, and had a delightful evening. As soon as he had gone she rushed to the mirror, as every girl does when her beau leaves. She gave one scream and went off into' hysterics, for in her haste and the dark she had dipped her powder-puff into a box of pulver? ized charcoal, and she had the makeup of an amateur colored minstrel. The contrast to her dainty organdie gown and blonde hair was very funny, but she will never smile again. ? W. H.

Travelers in Egypt who profess to have seen the genuine resurrection flower describe it as a small ball hang? ing on its fragile stem, and resembling both in color and shape a shrunken poppy head. Sleeping, but not dead, the flower is aroused by being for an instant immersed in water and then supported in an upright position. Soon the upper fibres begin to stir. Slowly, yet visibly, they unfold until with petals thrown back in equidis? tant order it assumes the appearance of a beautiful radiated starry flower, not unlike some of the asters in form. Resting a moment, it suddenly, as though inspired by some new impulse, throws its very heart to the daylight, curving back its petals further still, and disolosing beauties undreamed of even in the loveliness of its first awak? ening. Soon the aspect of the flower ohanges, as though over the well spring of its eternal life hangs some ruthless power forcing it back into darkness ; before an hour has passed its newly found vigor is fading away.* The pulsing light at its heart grows fainter?slowly the petals raise them? selves, to drop wearily side by side upon its bosom?and, finally, its beauty vanished, its strength exhaust? ed, it hangs heavy and brown upon its stem, awaiting for the touch that alone can awaken it again. The story of the resurrection flower, as given in 1846 by the late Dr. Dick, the naturalist, is as follows : "While travelling in Upper Egypt, eight years before, engaged in exploring for some lost emery and oopper mines; he chanced to render medical service to an Arab attached to his party. In gratitude the child of the desert for? mally presented to him this now called 'resurrection flower,' at this time en? joining him never to part with it. Like the fabled gift of the Egyptian, it was supposed to have 'magic in the web of it.'" The doctor was solemnly assured by the Arab and others of his race that it had been taken ten years before from the breast of an Egyptian mummy, a high priestess, and was deemed a great variety; that it would never de? cay if properly cared for; that its possession through life would tend to revive hope in adversity.?Ex.

Dost In Nature. j Without dust there would be no blue firmament j the heaven would be I blacker than we sec it on moonless I nights. On this black background I the glowing sun would shine out [ Eharply, and the same sharp contrast of intense light and deep shadow would characterize the surface of the earth. There would be nothing to subducc this sharp contrast but the moon and stars j wliitih tf?iild remain visible by day. The illumination of the earth would be similar to that which we observe when looking at the moon through a telescope; for the ?iijoh has no atmospheric envelope, and, t consequently, no dust in sus? pension. It is dun entirely to the dust that we enjoy our sof;;, uniform? ly diffused daylight, for which our eyes are specially adapted; and it is the dust which contributes so much to the beauty of the landscape. But while the foregoing explains how the dust makes the whole vault of heaven light, it does not explain why it is chiefly the blue rays of the white sun? light that are reflected, and only to a small extent the green, yellow and red ray. This is dependent upon the size of the dust particles. It is only the finest of them that are borne by the air currents into every stratum of air, and it is only these fine, widely diffused dust particles that arc of any significance in this connection. Now, let us consider the mechanism of light and the extreme shortness of the eth? er waves which constitute its essence. These waves, although all microscopi? cally small, vary considerably in length. The fine atmospheric dust includes many particles large enough to reflect the short blue ctber waves, fewer particles capable of reflecting I green and yellow, and still fewer large J enough to influence the long red eth ! eral waves. The red light, conse? quently, passes through the great j majority of the dust particles com paiatively unhindered; the blue rays j on the contrary, are intercepted and diffused, and so become visible. This is the reason that the finest dust?and so, too, the firmament appears blue. J So, then, the finest dust appears I blue. You may observe that the wreath that curls upward from the j burning end of a cigar is blue, while the smoke drawn through and exhaled I is whitish. The particles in the lat j ter case have united and become large enough to reflect white light. So, too, in the country, on a clear day, the sky is blue ; but in the city it ap? pears whitish, because of the greater number of coarse dust particles in the air. It is especially on mountain heights that the sky is so intensely blue, because the rarefied atmosphere supports only the finest dust parti? cles. At great height the sky would be almost black, if there were no dust particles in suspension. We see it grow pale as we turn our eyes to the lower strata of air toward the horizon. But.why is the sky in Italy and in the tropics so much deeper blue than with us ? Is the dust finer there ? As a fact, it really is. Not that finer | dust rises there; but in our climate the dust particles are soon saturated with water vapor, which makes them coarser. In warmer regions, however, the vapor retains its watery character and docs not condense on the floating dust. It is not until the aerial currents have borne it to higher and colder regions than it is condensed to clouds. This brings us to the most impor? tant role played by dust in our atmos? phere: its influence in determining rainfall, due to the fact that vapor fluidifies upon the dust particles. It may be accepted as beyond question that of all the water evaporated by the sun from the surface of land and sea, not one drop returns which has not condensed upon a particle of dust as a nucleus. This is easily demonf strated. We fill a large flask with air which has been filtered through cotton waddings until all original dust is driven out and the flask is full of dustless air. Into this dustleas air turn a current of steam from a kettle and you will find it transparent, and, therefore, invisible. Not a trace of the cloudy appearance we assooiate with steam. The only thing noticea? ble is that the inner walls of the flask begin to drip; the vapor condenses here as it cools, because there is noth? ing else for it to condense on. But blow ordinary dust-laden air into the flask and the vapor at once assumes the familiar cloudy appearance due to its condensation on the dust particles, and it begins to rain in the flask. The reason for this is that the vapor con? denses on the dust particles and freights them until they sink as rain drops. Without dust, then, we would have no fog, no clouds, norain, no brilliant^ hued sunsets, no cerulean sky. The surface of the earth itself, the trees, the houses, along with man and beast, would be the only objects on which the vapor could condense, and these would begin to drip whenever the air was cooled sufficiently. In winter ev? erything would be covered with ice. Our clothes would become saturated with water condensing upon them. Umbrellas would be of no avail. The vapor-laden atmosphere, moreover, would penetrate to our rooms and con? dense upon the walls and furniture. In short, the world we live in would be quite another world if there were no dust. Since scientists began to realize the important part played by dust in the economy of nature, meas? ures have been taken to count the par? ticles in a given space. In London and in Paris at the surface a cubic centimeter has been found to contain nearly a quarter of a million particles. On the top of the Eiffel Tower there are about half as many, while in the high Alps there are only about two hundred particles to the centimeter. A great deal of the dust at high alti? tudes is cosmic dust, consisting like the meteorites of carbon and iron.? Die Gartenlaube (Leipzig.) Everything Banning. General Logan was a member of Congress at the breaking out of the war. When he saw there was really going to be a fight, he seized a musket, slipped out of Washington, and walk? ed all the way to Ball Run, whe-e he arrived just in time to have a hand in the fray. The rout was complete, and the next morning, a good deal out of breath, he was back at the capital, telling some of his fellow-Congressmen what he had seen. "Who gave you this account of the fight ?" asked a member from northern New York, as he joined the group. "Why, I was there myself," said Logan. The New Yorker was mystified, ap? parently he had not heard the news. "You were there !" he exclaimed ; "are the cars running ?" "No," said Logan, "the cars ain't running, but every other thing in the State of Virginia is, as near as I could make out." ? A horse kicked H. S. Shafcr, of the Freemyer House, Middleburg, N.

Revolution In Cotton. The Rockefellers, of Standard Oil fame, are said to be interested in a new devkd for baling cotton. The other day one of these bai wo arriv? ed in Galvesfcon and at once became the centre of observation. It was a cylinder fivo ieet eight incheB long by twenty-one' inches in diameter, fastened with carpet tacks and weighing 556 pounds. It is claimed that this new baling process will wipe out the middle men and make ev? ery ginner his own compressor. There will be no more bagging and ties, and compresses and cotton jamming will be a lost art. The Galveston News says.: "Four gins tailed to a common Centre in which is a stoel frame costing $1,500. Through this frame runs four mandrils. The power which runs the gin runs the mandrils in the frame. A boy comes along, grabs the end of a bat as it comes from the gin and gives it a turn around the nearest mandril, which immediately commences winding it up as a roll of wall paper. An iron roller runs against ;he cotton on the mandril, compressing the white cylinder to a density of about twenty*seyen pounds per cubic footi The people who have this wonderful scheme in hand say that they can put the cotton down to forty pounds.

The Rembert cot? ton roller has been greatly perfected, and can, it is claimed, pat cotton down to forty pounds a cubic foot if necessary. The Rembert bales are twenty-two inch? es square by about five feet eight incbes in length. Some of this cotton will be exhibited here this week. "The cylindrical bale in the Cotton Ex? change was shipped from Waco by Mr. Warren Batterson. Cotton men hero are sceptical regarding the many claims made for this cylindrical bale, bnt some believe that it will so revolutionize cot? ton growing that along with Improved cultivators, harvesters, Huns and Slavs, two cents a pound will bo profitable fig? ures to the iarmer. "Under the new regime there will be no nigger in the cotton patch, no man in the box, no cotton jammers, no commis? sion merchants, samplers or inspectors? simply a cotton harvester, a gin "stand'' with compress attached, a railroad wharf, a stearin hip and the Manchester ship canal." Perhaps these claims are too extrava? gant. The fact, however, that the Rocke? feller! are interested in the new process would indicate that it will be pushed, and it may lead to a revolution in the cotton world. ?
