A model wife is the woman in whom the heart of her husband doth safely trust. She is the women who looka after his, household, and makes her hospitality a delight to him, and nota burden. Who has learned that a soft answer will turn away wrath. Who keeps her sweetest smiles and most loving words for her husband. Who is his confidant in sorrow or in joy, and who does not feel the necessity of ex- plaining her private affairs to the neighbor- hood. Who respects the rights of husband and or children, and in return has due regard paid to her. • Who knows thet the strongest argument is her womenliness and so she cultivates it. Who ie sympathetic in joy, or in grief, nd who finds work for her hands to do. Who makes friends and keeps them. Who is not made bitter by trouble, but who strengthens and sweetens under` it. Who tries to conceal the faults of her husband rather than blazon them forth to an uninterested 'public. The woman whose life -book has love •written`oi every page.

The physicians of the Pennsylvania Hos- pital are interested 'in what they consider the most remarkable case, in many parti- culars, that has ever come, under their con- sideration. In August last Mrs. Mary Donahue fell from a tree at her residence in Haddington. She was not apparently' injured by the shock, and when she recovered conscioU8fEs9 went about her work.Occasionally her head 'would drop forward, and soon she suffered intense pain. After six weeks she was removed to the hospital, where it was found that her neck was broken. The spinal column had escaped injury, but the physicians have been unable to reset the broken bones and the woman will be obliged to wear an iron frame all her life to hold her head in an upright position. A Decrease in the English Army. England probably is the only great Power which can point to a decrease in the total strength of its military establishment during the peat twelve months. The 'British army is less numerous by about a thousand men than it was a year ago. The strength of the infantry has de-. Creased by half as mach again, but there has been a slight increese ,in the artillery, engineers and army service corps, while the cavalry has remained stationary. .The total diminution, however, is not serious, and it y s stronger than, it was foury ars Brit- ish army g ago by 10,000 men. The number of troops quartered in the British Isles show an in- crease of 4,000 over the strength recorded in December, 1888 ; the Brutish armyin India has been reduced by 2,500 men owing' to the cessation of hostilities in Burmah ; there are still about 28,000 men in Ireland and the strength of the Egyptian garrison remains steady at_. -chant. -4,200, -in{ ludini; the force at Briakam. These femme do not include the Indian armies or the colonial militia ; and if they were included the British army on paper would net look quite ao'inaignifieent.
