TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE -Lady Psychologist Has. a Word to Say as to the Necessary Training of Husband. That the hunband should be trained and not broken is the firm belief of Miss Anna List, the celebrated lady psychologist, who vows she will never marry while in love. Doctor List has collected extensivo data in regard to the establishing of dominant person alities in the home. Most of the facts she has obtained at first hand from the undisputed possessors of doninant personalities thejnselves. "The husband," says Anna List, "in common with other beasts of burden, should be halled very gently at first. lie should be taught one, and only one. thing at a time. lie *hould become well accustolmed to harness before be ing urged violently to the accomplish ment of the severer menial tasks of the household. "Many wives ruin an otherwise sen sible and obtrusive husband by trying to break his spirit too soon. In the un domesticated state the inexperienced husband is naturally sportive and lib erty loving, and his instincts all tend to make him refractory and antagon istic toward female supervision. At tempts at justifiable coercion are, in the early stages of matrimony, almost sure to be met with a vicious stubborn ness that is much more likely to grow than to diminish. "A wise mixture of cajolery, coax ing, contempt, independence and per sistent firmness seems to secure the best results in training a husband. Young wives should proceed slowly. They should study the temperaments of the men whose-natures they have chosen to exploit. Firmness and per sistence are suro to be crowned with success. "-Judge. ITALY'S TOURIST TRADE GONE Nation Is Called Upon to Provide for Loss of Receipts From Hotel Patrons. The tourist trade as a source of national income and as a substitute for taxation is of enormous value to Italy, says the Nuova Antologia, Rome. In deed, as a means of settling interna tional obligations, it is almost indis pensable for our-land. Hence, nothing could be more unreasonable than to let the hotel business become demor %alized, as upon it will rest the task of reviving the tourist trade. This led -us to propose a year ago that payment of the rental charge of hotels should be postponed. a proposal that was only adopted in part, pay ment for half of these rentals being adjourned until the end of the war, interest at the rate of 5 per cent a year to be charged In the meanwhile. Now, however. in view of the pro longatiga of. the war; it becomes nec -' " asary to make similar provisions for the remaining half of. the rent. If we are unwilling to allow the manager of a hotel to pay his entire rent in promissory notes or ether instrumenta of credit, a special fund should be es tablished, if necessary, with state aid. to finance that half of the rent hotel keepers are now reqluired to pay while the war lasts.

NOT UP TO THE STANDARD Follower of Lord Charles Beresford Had a Criticism to Make, and Made it Promptly. Lord Berosford found supporters the other day when he declared that the war would be over much more quick ly if tho government would make all coinmodities intended for Germans ab solute contraband, and would con. fiscate all enemy property in neu tral ships. His lordship is, as everyono knows, an Irishman, and he delights in tolla lag stories of Irish wit that have come within his own personal experi ence. Vhen he put up for parliament for Waterford lie encountered an Irish voter who was looking very glum and discontented. "Ali, ye're no man, Lord Charles!" remarked Paddy. "Sure ye'ro no man!" "What do you mean?" asked his lord ship in astonishment. With the air of one who really dis liked to find fault with a Beresford the voter replied: "Arrah, thin, the last toime a Beresford stood for par lymint it's up to the knees 01 was in blood an' whisky, and sorra a dhrop av ayther have Oi seen this toime!" Pearson's Weekly. EXPERT PROOF IS EXPENSIVE Street Railway in Massachusetts Pays Experts a Large Sum to Boost Fares. The Bay State Street railway has paid about $120,000 to date for the val uation report on which the road bases its plea for six-cent fares, and the val uation expert is still drawing $50 a day for testifying before the public service commission, it has developed during the continued cross-examina tion of Robert M. Feustel, the $50-a day expert, himself, remarks the Bos ton Post. Thus, if the road wins its plea, it will have to collect 2,000,000 six-cent fares from patrons in the eighty-odd cities and towns which it serves to secure an amount equal to the export's fees. And if the Bay State company should lose its plea, it will require 2,400,000 nickel fares to make up the amount it has paid the expert for preparing a valuation report on which the road re lies to prove its claim that a five-cent fare does not provide enough revenue by $1,615,165 a year, the sum which Feustel estimates is needed and which ha says a six-cent fare would provide.
