Once upon a, time some one asked Mr.
Gladstone to what be most owed his
success. His answer came promptly: "To
my Wife."
That every manes °tweet has been
more or less swayed. by bis wife is
probably true. In the case or Mr. Glad-
stone the wifely influence would seem to
have had as much to do as his own
commanding, forceful genius. Mrs.
Gladstone has not been gifted witla
brilliant intellect, nor has she been called
upou to an an important role in the

through prolonging the years of her

gratitude that is will flud bard to repay.

stone's Parliamentary life it was the
Wisdom of the devoted wife that there
should be no discussion of Hew@ of
Commons naatters at home. Once the
carriage door cloeed under the clock
tower of the House of Parliament there
was no reference to the speech of the
husband or tbe debate of which it had
been a part On the night or Mr.
Gladstone's speech an Home Rule, when
all London was ringing with it, and the
newspapers of civilization were eagerly
receiving the reports of it, it is said that
lffr. and Mrs. Gladstone were quietly
seated in the study of she Downing street
residence cutting the pages of the new
book their friend Cardinal Newman bad
just sent them. It was to this unvarying
rule that Mr. Gladstone more than once
declared he owed the fact that Do debate
In the House bad ever caused him a
sleepless night.
Blessed herself with an uncommonly
vigorous constitution and uuceasing
health, there has been no time in the
-united lives of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone
that she was forced to relax her alert
vigil over the physical maladies which
might project themselves upon him. The
minor worries she has also been careful
to shield him from. It is related that after
one general election, when the appeal to
the country had resulted adversely to
Mr. Gladstone's Irish policy, Mrs.
Gladstone was found somewhat depressed
by a visitor at Hawarden,while the Grand
Old Man was setenely at work upstairs.
"Never mind," said the visitor
sympathetically, "there is One above who
will bring things right in His own good
time." "Yes, indeed," said the distracted
lady, "He will undoubtedly bring things
right, but he will forget about his
luncheon if I do not call him down."
Mr. Gladstone first saw this angel of
the household in the winter of 1838. She
was his neighbor at a dinner party in
London and seems not to have been
especially impressed by the slim, dark-
haired young man who had recently
entered Parliament as member for
Newark. It was over a year later that
they met again. That time it was in
Rome, where "the bandeome Miss
Glynnes" were staying with their
mother. A few months later there -was a
double wedding in the little parish church
at Hawarden. The second couple were
the younger atifss Glynne and Lord
Lyttleton. It is interesting to note that
the daughter of the second couple was
afterward Lady Cavendish, wife et the
earl who was assassinated one evening
In Phoenix Park.
Of the eight children who came te
Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone five are now
living. Of the sons, two are in England,
cam as rector of the village daunt, in
which bis father and mother were
married, the other representing West
Leeds in Parliament The third is
engaged in commercial pursuits in
India. One of the daughters is married,
while Helen Gladstone, named for her
father's only sister, who died in early
Womanhood, holds the honorable position
of principal of Newnham College at
Cambridge. She is one of the moat
profoundly educated women in England,
and the coltege of which she is the head
Is one of two founded for the higher
education of women. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Gladstone have always been on the most
tender and affectionate terms with their
ohildreaa. Mrs. Gladstone nursed Mann
all herself. She watched their infancy
and growing years as religiously as for
the past titirty-five he bus protected the
waking and sleeping bots of her
husband, She looked after nem all along
as if she had been the mistress of a
humble cottage instead of the lady of a
proud eaetia against which the storms of
centuries have hurled themselves. When
out of oface Mr. Gladstone tanglit his
ohildreu Italian The girls were educated
at home by governesses in English,
Fe -emit. and German. The boys wore the
jaokets of Eton, and afterward bad
lodgings in the grounds at Oxford.
With all ber thoughtfulness for others,
Mrs, Gladstone is said to be absent-
minded to an unusual degree. A. lady
who was her fellow guest in a country
house tells of Mrs. Gladstone's appearing
at dinner (me evening with the most
marvelous arrangement of lace where the
conventional bodice shoeld have been.
Mr, and Mrs.. Gladstone had come down
for the night, the latter without ber
maid. Most of the half Lour between the
dressing bell and the dinner peal bad
been given ewer by Mrs. Gladstone and
the maid beer hostess had sent to ber
assistance to a wild seareb for the dress
waist. The Jaunt proved, unavailing, but
Mrs. Gladstone, whose resourcefulness is
said to be without limit, evolved an
impromptu bodice trent one of the long
lace scarfs of which she is known to bave
dozens. Pies galore were employed, and
when the good lay came into the draw-
ing -room a abort time later there was
ixo appearapee of consciousness on her
part that her eostume was out of the
ordinary. It developed at bedtime that
the missing waist was pinned inside the
drees skirt, where Mrs. Gledstone's maid
bad cautioned her mistress that it shoeld
be foutel.
Mlle Gladstone hes not wafted her
gentle ministrations to nor own house-
hold. While in absolute sympathy with
her husband awl aver ready to be of
service to him'she has given a portion of
her tbought to raising the moral and
social standard of tier less fortunate
neighbors in the district about tbe castle.
Sbe bee not ouly envouraged horticulture
and florieulture among tbe cottagers of
the countryside, but she as personally
assisted in the seleetiou of plants and
advised about the layleg out of plots.
She is said, to 'meet abundance of tact,
and the heist unreasonable of women or
men are bound timely to yield to her
persuasiveness. Buring a particularly
long argument with a combative woman
on one oecaelon Ur. Gladstone smilingly
remarked: "Well, now this is rather
unprecedented, you know. My wite
usually talks over the most pertinaeleue
of them in less time than this, But she
will beav finally," he added, "for she
never fails." Being rigorously doraestio
in her tastes Mrs. Gladstone appreeintes
the sumo tentlepeles in others. Her choice
of friends is said to depend not upon the
=Went of birth or wealth but upon
Floral worth and brains. Thus the MOO
interesting borne in all England has ever
boon open to professionals.
Mrs. Gladstone's settled, educational
and obaritable pians always met with
the hearty approval of her busband.
Their children were wont to say that be
was more proud of ber than anything else
in the world, not excepting bis own
honorable and splendid itehievements.
The latter years of bis life be seemed to
divide his temlorest affections between the
partuer of bis youth, vigorous manhood
and old age, and the prattling grand-
child, Dorothy Drew. Tim little one had
a nursery at the top of the castle and a
pigeon -house with strutting, cooing
inhabitants in the greenery of the
dignified old park below. It was the
untidy paint box of Dorothy from which
IA Hung Chang took the scarlet pigment
to trace his respectful sentiments in the
visitors' book ht the hall. It was her
stubby fingers evbich turned without
rebuke the leaves of the choicest tomes
in the big library, and it was this same
Dorothy *hose privilege it was to walk
with the grave statesman daily over part
of the route he had adopted tor his
regular constitutional.
"Oh, ma'am, you talk about my
master, and he is very wonderful, but,
ma'am, my lady is quite as wonderful."
This is the statement made by ono of
Mrs, Gladstone's maids, in witose
presence a lady was speaking with
enthusiasm of Mr. Gladstone.
Said another, -whose expression was
offered with quite as much warmth it
more formally: "The story of Mr. Glad -
stone's publics career is in part his wife's,
for in all his undertakings she has been
a powerful factor. Whenever he
journeyed she has gone; in whatever
work he has been engaged she bas bean
at his side, mastering details and
keeping pace with him." Mr. Gladstone,
at all times, upon every fitting occasion,
paid tribute to the heart and mind of his
wife, and attributed to her companionship
and encouragement the stimulus and
solace without which he could not have
essayed the tasks he performed. She was
his helpmeet from their earliest years
together, and as thne slipped away their
love cast a protecting shelter about them.
His reliance upon her counsel seems to
have been unconditional. She succeeded
in making his home life a happy one.
She mitigated the humiliations of defeat.
She gave comfort in the trying bours of
suspense. She imparted some of her own
joyousness to bis graver nature. She
alone seared his labor and diversions, bis
triumphs and defeats. She has been that
God-given treasure, a perfect wife.

Good Figures to Study.
It is estimated that the trip/a alliance
—Germany, Austria and Italy—could met
0,806 battalions, 1,088 squadrons and
6,758 guns into the field, as against 2,688
battalions, 1,753 squadrons and 7,954
guns of the double alliance—France and
Russia—should war break out between
them. The triple alliance would have the
greatest number of reserves. Germany
bas 1,305 battalions of infantry, 508 cav-
alry squadrons and 8,024 cannon; Aus-
tria, 934 battalions, 485 squadrons and
2,141 cannon, and Italy, 567 battalions,

Many generations have passed away
since Martin Luther lived and was so
prominent a figure during the troublous
times of the history of the church. It ie
interesting to learn, therefore, that the
wedding ring of this great leader of the
reformation ia still in existence, and lute
been exhibited in a jeweler's shop at
Dusseldorf. On it is a representation ot
the crucifixion of Christ, a small, bright
ruby standing for a drop of blood. The
inscription is: "Catherine Von Bora to
Dr. Martin Luther, 1850 June, 1526." It
bears signs of the wear of very many
years, but, nevertheless, is in excellent
preservation.

not cause pain or griping, and should be
used when a cathartic is required. They
are Gelatine Coated, and rolled in the
Flour of Licorice to preserve their purity.

Bickle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup stands
at the head of the list for all diseases of
the throat and lungs. It acts like magic
in breaking up a cold. A cough is soon
subdued, tightness of the chest is relieved,
even the worst case of consumption is re-
lieved. while in recent eases it may be
said never to fail. It is a medicine pre-
pared from the active principles or virtues
of several niedicinal herbs, and can be de -
pendia], upon for all pulmonary • com-
plaints.
