Mflmflfl W88 0 It is very trying to be married to a. genius or afool, says the author of a chatty book, "Love affairs of Famous ’Men." Montesquieu was once at work when some one rushed in shouting “Fire!” "G to my wife,” he replied, as he wenéJ on writing, “these matâ€" ters belong to her." Confucius was so worried by his wife that he had to divorce her before he could work in peace Daudet‘s wife was not only an exâ€" cellent housekeeper, but a. fine liter- ary critic, who helped Alphonse at his work. Cooper and Hawthorne were both encouraged by their wives to beâ€" gin writing their masterpieces. Thomas Hardy dropped architecture to become ‘a. novelist at his wife’s urging. Max a. novelist at his wife’s urging. ma O’Rell’s translator and literary helpc is his English wife. But these men were not poets. “’0- men who marry poets play "a game of double or quits." There was Dante. He had awife and seven children after settling down, but he never forgot his Beatrice and poor Mrs. Dante wasn’t permitted to forget her, either. “W'hen- soever she appeared before him, he had no enemy left on earth.” Chaucer, who himself married one of the ladies of the Queen‘s bedchamber, wrote: Marriage is such arabble rout That those who are out would Iain get r in And those who are in would fain get out. Shakespeare wedded a woman much older than himself. In his will he left the lady his “secondâ€"best bed," which may have had a subtle senti- mental meaning, like Pickwick’s chops and tomato sauce. When Milton was35he married Mary Powell. the daughter of a. gay, bustl- ing house. She didn’t enjoy 4o'clock rising and long prayers, and in a month ran away from home. Subseâ€" quentlyshe came back and fell on her knees to humâ€"and. he used the scene as the material for Eve’s begging for Adam’s pardon in his account of the creationl She died young. Milton’s second. wife died ayear after marriage In his third, retribution smote him, for she was a terror he had deserved. Before their marriage, he had never seen her. She survived him 53 years, and, according to Johnson, cheated his children. \Vycherley, the poet, was adroll dog, Early in life he married unhappily. Ten days before his death he took an- other partner to spite his nephew and heir. He would die married, he said, though he couldn’t live that way. -~v_=_ -e -_ , Hogg, the Ettrick shepherd, es- poused a lady much above his rank. Coleridge married at 23 and had a lifelong struggle to support his fam- ily. He was “a dreamer dreaming greatly,” and naturally didn’t pull well in harness. De Quincey, him- self a. poor stick of a. man, said: "Neither Coleridge nor Byron could have failed to quarrel with any wife." Southey married Coleridge’s wife’s sis- ter and got along with her very well until she turned crazy and died. De Quincey rushed into print to abuse Wordsworth, who never read the articles. "He says your wife‘s too good for you,” afriend quoted. “There he’s right," cried the poet. Long aft- er one who went to Kydal Mount "saw the old man walking in the garden with his wife. They were both quite old and he was almost blind, but they seemed lilne sweetheart} oourting.’ Shelley, already with one broken- heart experience, wedded at 19 agirl of 16, and the two played at light house-keeping on buns and things. Latâ€" er he deserted his wife and she drownâ€" ed herself in the Sergentine. Landor’s wife mortally offended him in their honeymoon b jumping up to look at a Punch‘ and udy show while "he was reading hisaown poetry. HE was a burly, roaring fellow with aoolossal conceit. She was gentle, and not over- bright. So he deserth her and their children shamelessly. Byron’s life was embittered by his early love affair. for Mary Anne Cha- worth. The “Maid of Athens’ was a daughter of Mme. Maori, wife of aBri- tish vice-consul in Athens. Byron didn’t love his wife and she couldn't stand nine executions in the house for debt in one year, not to speak of mariâ€" tal misconduct. So they parted. Goethe was a terror. After "Gret- chen," Anna Katharina, Charity Meix- ner, “Emilia’ and. "Lucinda" he devot- ed himself to Charlotte Buff (Lotte) and Ann Muench. After aiittle affair with "Lili’ Schoenemann he fell in love with the children, but still able to keep the poet awake three nights meditat- ing on her charms before he’d ever seen her. He wrote her a thousand let- ters. Then came Christame Vulpius, a fat, gross, drunken creature, whom Goethe married when he was 58. Before and after their marriage they lived to- gether twenty-eight years until her death. At ‘74 the widower fell in love with Miss von Lewezon, and later with Mme. Szymanowska. Goethe, like Bobby Burns, had abeautiiul visage and an .eye which, it is said, no woman could resist. Heine told his patient, much-endur- ing Wife to marry after his death, so that at least one man might mourn him. "Have your jest, dear,’ she re- plied plwidly; "you can’t do without me.’ Every Monday Heine used to beat her, in asort of ajoke which hurt her feelings terribly, although she was three times as strong as he. Was another poetâ€" who delight- ed in playing jokes on his wife, though they were of adifterent king. 'fiost fibeautiful was Browning’s love Are the danger slgnals of im ure blood. They show that the vital uid is in bad condition, that health is in danger of wreck. Clear the track by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla and the blood will be made pure, complexion fair and healthy. and life's journey pleasant and successful. ‘ Dickens and his wife separated after twenty years of not always unhappy married life, apparently by the man's fault mainly. His wife was not. fine 911011811 for his new fortunes.

Steele captured a very bauutiful lady by his art in writing love leitorn. and when they were married, he used to get drunk, while she fought the wolf with cold British valour and kept upon her husband. as tight rein as she could. Scott loved agirl to whom at 19 he chanced to offer his umbrella in astnrm. But she wed another. Sarsa- $ parilla But oh, Jeremy Bentham! When a young man he proposed to a girl and was refused. At 60 he tried again and was again refused by the same woman. VV‘hen he was 80 he wrote that she: had always been in his thoughts since in youth she gave him 01 flower in a green lane. And yet Bentham was a philosopher! Probably Scott never quite recovered his heart.

Both he and Mrs. Carlyle were cheated of their first loves, and there was, besides, ecr cording to Prof. Peck, another cause for unhappiness between them. Mrs. Carlyle was very near a genius her- self, and almost as nervous as her fidg- ety spouse. Once, while suffering from headache, she threw her teacup at him â€"of course, with every bad aim. And after her death, how the sad and lonely man missed her! and called on all the world to miss her also. which was un- reasnnable. Lawyers have had their share of mar- riage tribulations. Bacon and Coke were rivals for the hand of a lady who chose the latter, and made him desperately unhappy. Doctors marry cannily. They can judge women well. Thus Erastus Dar- win made extensive inquiries about Mrs. Pole before he married his second wife. Abernethy told his lady that he had no time to “make love,’ and she must take him yes or no, P.D.Q. She took him. Cromwell had nine children and ruled as well as loved thleir mother. Marlborough was 8. conquering gen- eral, but Sarah Jennings, his wife, rul- ed him with an iron hand. But she loved him, too, and when he died she refused to marry the proud Duke of Somerset, because she "wouldn’t per- mit the emperor: of the world to come after John, Duke of Marlborough,’ "Chinese’ Gordon never married beâ€" cause he newer found a. woman who would follow him to the ends of the earth.

They were married, but Nelson became unfaith- ful under the charm of Lady Hamilâ€" ton, and it was the name of the latter not the wife, that was on his lips when he died. Many and strange were the devices of our grandmothers for hoarding away their wealth, and even at the present time, despite the facilities ofâ€" fered by banks and burglar proof safes, there are many women who will not intrust their savings to the keep- ing of another person, but who search for queer hiding places in which to deposit their possessions. Equally shrewd was a woman in ‘Liverpool, who, whenever she had occasion to leave her home at all, would put her money and jewelry in the coal scuttle, covering them up carefully with several layers of coal. This might have proved a somewhat risky experiment in the winter months, when the fire had to be fed, but the owner felt no burglar would ever dream of looking in a, coal scut- tle for valuables. Another lady once confided to the writer that if she had occasion to leave her house empty she invariabh placed her jewelry in her old shoes, which were placed alongside the new ones. Quite a lot of valuables can be forced down into the toes without giving the slightest evidence of the value therein. Of other hiding places, perhaps the most popular, especially for paper money, is the big family Bible. It is quite a customary thing in out of the way country houses to thus secure any valuable papers in the possession of the family. Tea caddies and sugar bowls make excellent temporary safes, and the pocket of an old dress hanging in an unconcealed way in a wardrobe for queer hiding places in which to deposit their possessions. The stocking bank, the favorite hid- ing place of a past generation, has now become almost obsolete, except now become almost obsolete, except with a. very few old fashioned people in quiet out of the way vifllages, yet there are many methods of storing Lhere are many methods of storing away money and valuables equally quaint which are still adopted by ladâ€" in the space left below, and then re- place the drawer, which she kept till- ed with linen. The old lady would al- ways declare that it the house was broken into and the drawers ransacked no one would think of pulling them right out, and that her hiding place was far safer than any bank. An elderly spinster, a. friend of the writer, who resides in one of the many ancient houses to be found in Chester, England, had a set. of large stationary drawers topped by cup- boards specially built into ahuge clo- set in one of the rooms. The lower drawer, instead of resting directly on the floor, ran on grooves about two inches above it. This lower drawer she would pull out, and place large sums of money and all her jewel «cases iOS‘ is {ééafaed by many Women as one of the safest places imaginable for spare rings, broches and bracelets.
