HOW TO' SEL .And to Make Life Or Rev. John L. Scudder, If it is a good thing to get a wife, it is a better 'thing to get a good wife. There are all kinds of women in this world, and most of them, by the way, would like to be married. All they need is sufficient urging by the opposite sex. Now, as there are a great many wo men in the land and some are mani festly superior, it behooves the wise man to make a judicious selection. All women do not make good wiYcs, and it is possible for a man to marry and make the greatest blunder of his life. Some women can make you supreme ly happy, and others can make you very sad. Be careful, then, as to the kind of woman you ask to share your lot. In seeking a wife, I claim a man should act in a businesslike manner, and not be carried away by his emo tions. The step he proposes to take is of ?paramount importance, and will affect his weal or woe more than anything in life. Marriage ought to be something more than s grab-bag, into which a man thrusts his hand and takes out ' ' an unknown quantity. A sensible wooer is like a good shopper, who goes from store to store and examines the goods on all the counters, inquiring into their quality : and price before he makes a pur- ! chase. He selects a wife after duly investi- < geting that portion of the market which is available to a man in his : ' station, and comes to the pleasurable a conclusion tb.Lt he has exactly what < he wants. ? There is little romance, I admit, ; about such a prosaic method of choos ing a partner, and some may criticise 1 this as a pretty cold-blooded way of < making love. But in answer to these 1 criticisms it may be skid that this is a workaday world, with very little ro- ? manee about it, and it is better to be- i j gin as we can hold out. Such things have occurred, and will i occur again, but they are the excep- i tions that prove the rule that the best < love arises between those who are ac quainted with one another's antece- ; dents and have similar tastes .and 1 sympathies. 1 To marry wei! a man must marry a woman who he knows will suit him, ! and such knowledge comes only by 1 ? careful thought and observation. - There are certain qualifications 1 which every woman should , possess t who proposes to become a wife, and 1 which every lover should demand, i These I shall mention, and to them 1 fastidious . individuals may add as 1 many more as they please. 1 I hope they will not require as c much, however, as a man I once heard of, who said all he would demand in a ( wife wa3 "a good temper, health, in- j telligence, a beautiful face, a comely . figure, good family connection, domes- ' tic habits, resources of amusement, J conversational talent, good spirits, ] elegant manners and money." There was nothing narrow about ( that man. j Fortunately, all men! do not have < such exalted ideals, and are willing to put up with a smaller number of de- 1 sirable qualities. _ 1 The first qualification that I shall * mention is that she who is to be a ' wife must be a woman of character, and thus command the respect and admiration of the man who seeks her ( hand. ( A pleasant disposition is an indis- 1 pensable quality. i It must be remembered that women j are born actresses-that they can play 1 their oparts most skillfully during 1 their courting days, and deceive their lovers as to various weak points in i their characters, if they are so dis- < posed. Many a man has been completely 1 fooled by the woman he was courting J and lived to regret his lack of in- ( sight. ] If she was a slattern and too lazy to dress herself neatly, she was shrewd ( enough never to let her young man y find her in an unbecoming costume. She was trimly dressed and ber hair ' . w?s combed'when he was around. While the rest of the family were ' j laughing in their sleeves, she made ( him believe that she was the pink of neatness. He used to congratulate , himself upon\the queenly appearance ( she would present in their little home when they were married. < But, heaven pity that man! how he J changed his mind six months after the 1 wedding! j So, I say, study your young woman, | and know exactly what you are get ting. In addition to ascertaining a wo- 1 man's character, I advise you to mar- f ry a real helpmate-one who will be of service to you in the struggle of 1 life, and not a drag. 1 ECT A WIFE, Le Granel, Sweet Song. ni St. Louis licpublic? "Women, like cloth, should be chos en for qualities that will wear. One ol' the first qualifications of a helpmate is physical health. A wo mau who has disregarded thc laws of physiology during the first fourth of her life makes sad work of it during the remaining three-fourths. With out a sound body, with weaknesses and aches and pains, she is scarcely fit to be a wife and mother. That man is unwise who makes love to any woman with a poor constitution, for marriage increases the burdens of life and makes severe drafts upon the physical system. If in his earthly pilgrimage a man wants to carry one of these pale, bloodless creatures upon his back, I have nothing to say. But if he wants a woman by his side to travel over the ups and downs of life, let him choose one who can walk downtown without hailing a car at the first corner or climb a couple of stories without sighing for an elevator. Never mind that doll-face, young man. Just find out whether its owner can take a two or three mile tramp with you without being fatigued or ride a tandem and do her share of the pedaling. Find out whether the ruddy hue on her cheek is due to rouge or to good, red blood. Wait till she is out of her teens and a woman grown. Doctors tell us that 20 years of age is soon enough 'for a woman to marry. Twenty-two or twenty-three is better. I pity these girlish wives. As a rule they grow haggard and peevish and prematurely old, whereas they [>ught to have kept their bloom till 45 sr 50, and their good spirits to their journey's end. Do not marry a woman who carries ber head too high and is unwilling to jome down and start with you at the bottom of the ladder. The sin of the age is extravagance -living for show; living beyond one's ueans. All women would like to be butter ies, brilliant in costume and fitting ibout the landscape to thc admiration )f all beholders. Get a woman who cares more for pour love than for the eyes of the fforld; who finds more joy in her hus )and and her home than in society. Whenever a man marries such a sensible, industrious woman he is to je congratulated. Celibacy is unnatural and unsatis- j factory. Taken alone, man is an in-1 ?omplete being. He needs a woman's ove to make his life perfect. Adam is a bachelor was not a success. He lad no home, even if he was in Eden, [t was only when he married Eve that ie knew what real living was. Men night to be taxed for remaining single. Tenderness or aching in the small )f the back is a serious symptom. The cidneys are suffering. Take Prickly ?.sh Bitters at once. It is a reliable cidney remedy and system regulator, md will cure the trouble before it de velops its dangerous stage.

Early Owners i>r Coal Oil Fields ?ere Ignorant of the Illuminating Quality of the Fluid. Over in West Virginia, where ibo populars nod upon the banks of the Hughes Uiver as it ripples on its way to join the Kanawlia and the greater Ohio, there is a grave marked by a small stone, which bears this inscrip tion: : Calvin Hawley, : Born March S, 177!). : Died January 10. 1855. Those who know the story of thc man whose name is chiseled there have wondered-and still wonder-if John E. Rockefeller, multi-millionaire and president of the Standard Oil Company, knows that his great for tune rests upon the corner stone which Calvin Hawley lay away back in the first year cf the fifties, when he placed upon the market the first petro leum ever' taken from out of the ground. Before this coal oil was known, of course, but few had any idea that it would ever become of commercial val ue except to the chemist. Early in the present century a settler in the Mohawk Valley discovered that the Seneca Indians in that section com pounded a liniment which was of val ue in soothing rheumatic pains. In vestigation showed that the Indians used but two ingredients, an oil which oozed from the ground in a gully near the lake and balsam. The settler ob tained a quantity of the oil, which was petroleum', and filling bottles with it and balsam, labeled them Seneca Liniment. He traveled about the country selling it. Its medical quali ties soon created a demand for it and this man made a fortune. Every country boy who was reared in New York, Pennsylvania, or New England can remember it as one of the stand ard remedies of his carly days, the yellow label with a picture of Indians gathered about a campfire, presumably preparing the liniment, was always in the front row on the shelf in the medi cine closet. Calvin Hawley did not know that coal oil was one of thc ingredients of the liniment-it is doubtless if he ever heard of it. But that part of West Virginia where he lived was sat urated with an oil-nameless to him which he felt was of some commercial value, and he. determined to take a quantity of it to Cincinnati. He thought it might be used for oiling machinery, a use for which the oil is unfitted, although it was tried some time later. It seems strange that Hawley did not,realize that it was suitable for lighting, purposes. Five miles from his/'hoTh'e, at a place where the boys : and girls of the-neighborhood held their picl&ics^ were Rathbone s Burn ing Springs. These ''springs" were i nothing Hut.barren acres of land, acres without>a'vestige of vegetation and 1 c?v?fed'^Ub.la damp sand that was al- \ most blackt i lt Was soaked with pe- , tioIeuW, a:hd'?: match touched to the j surface sent theflames sweeping across 1 tbosff,barren" places like a prairie fire until the miniature desert was a veri table sea pf fire. Once iguited, the j "springs" would burn until a heavy j rain extinguished them. , Hawley, however, thought only of ; thc grease which was in the petroleum, j So, when he decided to place thc coal i oil on the market he sought thc lowest J point in thc vicinity, with the hope i that the liquid would be thicker, < which is really a quality not to be desired. He found thc oil oozed . from thc banks of thc Hughes River , and at a place about four miles from Newark. W. Va., he and half a dozen companions in the enterprise dug a long trench just above the water's edge. This they lined with clay, and then began thc construction of a flat boat while the ditch was filling. The ( raft-for that was about all thc boat was-was made of hewn poplar logs lashed together with rawhide. Finally the trench was filled, but not with the kind of oil one purchases at the grocer's to-day. Instead was a thick, sticky, ill-cmelling mess that was half sand and half petroleum. The men stripped and waded into it. - For weeks they worked, first dipping * the mess by the pailful and straining f it through sieves, time after time, to remove the dirt; then ladling it into barrels, where it was allowed to settle i until thc dirt was at thc bottom, when the crude petroleum was drawn oil through a spigot. Seventy-eight barrels were filled af ter six weeks' work, and thc men started down thc river. Cincinnati was reached after some difficulties, tho ' boat stranding on sandbars several ' times. There a brother of Calvin Hawley, a general dealer in merchan dise, stored the cargo and waited fura purchaser. John AV. Hawley, purchasing agent for one of thc big restaurants of this city, told this story thc other day: "And," he said, "when I went through Cincinnati in 1854, three years after my father landed his cargo, my uncle was still trying to dispose of thc few remaining barrels of thal stuff. , Tn his wintlow was a sign, "Pure Coal j (Jil,' and below it was a jar lilied with a thiele, reddish liquid. 1 can tell you, it wasn't much like the kerosene i wc got to-day. .'One tl??Dg 1 shall never forget about my boyhood days, and that was j the dislike we had for the contempti- ; ble stuff, as we called coal oil. Cue j incident I remember io particular, j Near our place was a salt, lick, where j deer and cattle had made a muckhole, and one farmer thought he would make a fortune if he could discover a stream i of salt water. So he set to drilling, a mule furnishing the powor for the tread mill. Half the boys in thc i neighborhood turned out towatch the j proceedings. ! "I reckon the shaft was about ten feet deep when there was a fearful ex plosion. That mill and the derrick he had rigged up were blown a thousand ways for Christmas, and a big stream of the pesky oil shot up twenty-five feet high, flow that farmer did cuss! I never heard another man swear so loDg without stopping for breath. l'I have often wondered since then what that man said in after years when the well was probably dry and oil was selling for $S per barrel. I wonder how any fellow feels that has a fortune in his grasp and don't find it out until it's too late. Ever think of that?"- The RepuhUc.
