The Mania of the Period.

1t is terrible, this mania. You are
stopped upon The streets and invited
to spell pedler, or pcdlar, or pcddlcr,
or some other word. Your wife wakes
you up in the middle Of the night to
spell sarcophagus; your children has
ten to the breakfast table to ask you
to spell corymb, and You devote all
your spare time to the dictionary;
and your Oldest boy comes home late
at night in weeping mood, and cx-
plains it thus: Il went to see Mary
(his sweetheart this evening; she
met me at the doer:with, spell cry
'sipelas, Toni" fapellcd it With two

engagement is at an end; l cannot
love more bad spcller." Her faith

Tom one more trial. Spell consan-
.guire@rs sir.3. Ispelled It with four
ms and two is, and he badc me leave
the house and never hope to be his
son-in-law. This spell of weather is
bad weather to spell surely.

AStrikins sun-Dial.

4 sun dial that strikes the hours
has been invented BY Able Allegrct.
1t is simply a modification of the
solar counter for registering the times
when the sun shines or is obseured.
There are two balls, fixed at opposite
ends.o a lever sustained by accntral
pivot. When the sun shines the
blackball absorbs more heat than
the yellew one, and the vapor of a
liquid contained in the former is ele-
waited to 4 higher temperature than
inlthe latter. As a result the: yapor

AWiCe's Rights.

Here is a love story, not out Of the

.jurisprudential stvlc:-,A rieh..Sew
Eorktwidower of fftvSwo, who was
about to marry a young woman Of

daughters that his young wife mar

she showed how much she thought of
het,hpsband's worldly goods, as well
as her husband, by going to law tore

court holding that dover being high

well as legal. right, "thc inchoate
rights of the wife are as much cnti-
tied d-to protection as the vested rights
Of tho widow" and that the deed ex-
ecued before her marriage, under the
facts and cTcumstancesof this case,
should have no more effect upon her
rights and interests than if executed
afterwards.
