Religion in Novels.

IT is very noteworthy how many of the
best novels of the present day touch with
more or less distinctiveness upon ques-
tiOns of religious belief. We set aside, OF
course, those many stOries-sOme excel
lent Of their kind, Others the veriest rub
bish-which are confessedly stories with
q purpose, written to, advocate some
favOrite view, in which the illustration Of
certain theological tenets is of the very
essence Of the book. In these, if we only
know the name of the writer-sOmetimes
a fairly accurate guess may be arrived at
by merely glancing at that of the publish
er-the reader is enabled at.once to fore
cast the kind of fare which is provided for
him, and will proceed to read or not to
read according as his bias may incline
him. But even in those which assume no
such didactic office, and whose writers
would fairly repudiate any such design as
ion, instead of being tacitly ignored or
sunled as having mOmentOus influence
upon human life. Thev are not brought
prominently into the foreground, perhaps,
but they are evidently present TO the mind
of the writer as elements of grave impOr-
tance. If our generation be indeed so ir-
reverent and irreligiOus as it is said 10 be
the traces of character are not TO be found
in our highest works of fiction. If there
is skepticism in them, it is skepticism in
| the better sense Of the word. The doubts
are those of the honest doubter; the
questioning is not of a sneering or cap
| tious Kind, but has the earnest tone of The
inquirer who seeks an answer. Even i

Marital Responsibility.

CURIOUS question regarding the re-
sponsibility of husband for the acts of
his wife has recently been decided i'm the
supreme Court of Illinois. and in deliver
ing the opinion OF the Court Judge Thorn
ton took occasion to make an elaborate re-
view of the changes which recent IegiSla-
ton has made in the legal relations be-
tween man and wife. The case in ques-
tion was one of slander. Janet Robson
had sued one John Martin for slanderous
words used respecting her by Margaret
Martin. Johns wife, and the case had
come to the Supreme Court on appeal.
The decision was that the husband was
not liable. The Court held that liability
which has for its consideration rights con-
ferred should no longer exist when the
consideration has failed. If the relations
of husband and wife have so changed As
to deprive him of all rights to her prop
erty and to the control of her per-
son and her time. every principle of right
would be violated by holding him still
responsible for her conduct. So long As
the husband was entitled to the property
of the wife and to her industry, so long as
he had power TO direct and control her,
and thus prevent her from the commission
of tort, there was some reason for his liza
bility. The reason has now ceased. The
ancient landmarks are gone. The maxims
and authority and adjudications of the
past have faded away. The unity of hus-
band and wife has been severed. They are
now distinct persons. and may have sepa-
rate legal estates, contracts, debts. and
injuries. The chains of the past have been
broken by the progression of the present,
and the wife can now enter upon the stern
conflicts of life untrammeled. She no
longer clings to and depends upon man,
but has the legal right to battle with him
In the contests of the forum, to Outvic
him in the healing art, and to climb with
him the steps of fame. And as her brain
and hands and tongue are her own, in
the judgment of the Court she alone
should be held responsible for any SLAM
derS she may utter.-NeaD York Sun.

RubieS.

The ruby ranks third in hardness among
precious stones. Its color varies from the
lightest pink of rose tint to the deepest
carlnine. Specimens are often found in
which blue is exhibited in one part and
red in another; sometimes the two cOlOrs
are more or less intermingled, producing
purple shades, and even greater variega-
tons are occasionally seen from the pres
ence of additional cOlOrs. A ruby, either
too light or too dark, is not as desirable as
one of an intermediate shade. The most
highly priced are those of the ''pigc0n's-
blood color, pure deep red, free from
the casts of either blue or yellow. This
shade exactly agrees with that of the fresh
blood OF a pigeon as seen when dropped
on white paper. The best rubies are al
ways set transparent, but those deficient
in color are backedby a foil of appropriate
shade. In buying stone set with fol- the
purchaser will naturally be on his guard
but where it is without back it may be
supposed that its real color is apparent at
glance. Not so. Some swindling jewel
ers succeeded in the plan of lining the in
side of the band made to cncircle the stone
with crimson enamel of such shade as to
lend proper hue to faulty gem.-Er.

A Willful Woman.

A FEMALE argOnaut Of fearful vitality, a
tall and extremely ugly fema lie, called at
the pOstOffice yesterday, rendered ninety
nine cOppers to the urbane clerk, and
asked in lieu thereof three cent stamps.
The official remarked that he could only
receive four cOppers as a legal tender, and
at the expense of deal of precious time
endeavOred to convince the female that he
was guided by certain rules, and had no
latitude i'm the matter. She waxed wroth,
and remarked that when in the course Of
human events it became apparent that
United States coin was to be refused by a
United States official, she thought her
forefatllers had died in vain, and consid-
cred it her duty to bring the Government
to account. Then she paced the corridor
of the pOstoffice until she had made thir-
ty-thrce separate tenders of the coppers
and obtained thirty-three three cent
stamps. During her transaction with the
clerk she gave him much unsolicited ad-
vice, and otherwise contributed to the
enjoyment Of spectators.-San Francisco
