Another Victim.

A tragic occure ice in San Fran-
cisco was founded on Inconsistency in
love, but the usual conditions were
reversed. D. K. Meek, an insurance
agent, did not believe in formal mar
riages, but held that the mutual con
sent Of the parties was q sufficient
marital bond He formed an union
on that basis with Miss Labor, the
daughter OF bis business partner, and
during two years they lived afTec-
tionately together. Not long ago
the wife left home without warning
of her intention, and declared that as
there had been no marriage ceremony
and as she had ceased to love her
husband, she was not bound 10 live
with him any longer. Meek was
heart broken He implOred her to
return, but she coldly retOrted that
she was not his wife. He consulted
lawyers as to the possibility Of com
peIling her to be faithful, but they
told him that although the marriage
was as binding as any in the regard
of the law, a wife could not be fore
ed to live with her husband. He
swallowed laudanum, and
the first dose being pumped out by
p:osy doctor, took another and died.
He left his sentiments in a letter, as
follows:
Il staked my ali il your promise
to marry me, and I have lost. do
not charge you, my dear, but forgive
you with all my heart | will be

Household Hints.

Butter and other perishable articles
can be kept fresh and sweet without
the use of ice by lining packages
with sheets made out of the pulp of
poplar wood.
To preserve cut flowers, fill sau-
Ger with 6ne sand, piling it up in the
center somewhat, in the form of a
mound. Moisten the sand and ar
range your flowers in it, and they
will keep fresh several days.
Goldfish should never be taken in
the hand, but should be removed
when necessary, by means Of small
net made of mosquito netting. They
NAV be fed with anything they will
eat, but what they do not eat should
be taken out of the water. They
generally die from handling, starva-
tion or impure water.
