ALEXANDER VS.. ALEXANDER.

ALEXANDER VS.. ALEXANDER.
Now comes Elizabeth Alexander,
by her attorney, and asks that she
be granted a divorce from her hus-
band, Frank C. Alexander. She
claims now that she lives in Audrain
and he in Monroe that they were
married at Milan, Indiana, March 8,
1861, that they lived together till
December 1879; that she always be-
haved as ? dutiful and loving wife
should that about 1870 he began to
treat her badly, called her ''Iazy hog
and other much worse names /; in fact,
applied to her in presence of others
epithets that no gentleman would ap-
ply to a lady and accused her of in
fidelity but would not say who her
accomplice was. In 1876 she went
over to Monroe to see her father and
mother and when she came home he
would not let her in the house al
though the house belonged to her he
locked her out. He then got in a
good humor again and they lived to-
gether, and he got her to make him a
deed to the property. He then
treated her worse than ever, and al
though she worked in the field he
called her a s'lazy hog" etc., and
again shut her out of the house. He
also threatened to whip her and said he
only married her for the property.
Anyway, she prays for a divorce and
the custody of the two children. The
suit was filed November Is, and will
come up at the January term.
EDISON VS.. EDISON.
On the 9th day of November Mar
sellus Edison filed a SUIT against his
wife, Elizabeth Edison, asking for a
divorce, claiming her to be a chronic
drunkard and to have been so for
more than a year. He says he has tried
every way to reform her but has
failed signally in every attempt and
now wants a divorce. We should
judge that the plaintiffs would get
what they ask and trust they will be
happy.
+ JONES VS.. JONES.
Levi Jones also brings suit against
his wife, Syvilla Jones, for divorce,
and claims that his wife without any
reason or cause has absented herself
from his bed and board for more than
One year.

For Those WHO LIKE FLOWERs.-The
necessity of giving house plants fresh air
every fine day is well understood but
oftentimes great injury instead of benefit
results from the manner in which it is
done-by raising the window. A draught
of dry air, not unfrequently much colder
than the ordinary temperature OF the room,
striking the pots, quickly dries them up,
and, chilling the roots, gives sudden
check to the growth of the plant, causing
its leaves and buds to shrivel up and drop
of. Where ventilation has to be given by
raising the window, instead of lowering it,,
the pots should be protected by placing a
piece OF board in front of them where it Is
possible to do so. But when plants are
placed on a stand, one above another,
where that mode would be impracticable,
the current of dry air could be arrested by
having wire screen, such as is now
largely used as protection against flies
and mosquitoes, placed in the window.
Where saucers are used under the pots,
care should BIO taken that no amount of
water should remain in them after thor
oughy watering the plants. This rule,
however, does not apply to callas and
other aquatic plants. Even when abuti
Ions, and other strong-growing plants,
have filed their pots full Of roots and re-
quire great deal of water, it is better to
supply them frequently than to have them
standing in pool, Care must also be
taken IN Watering plants not to use the
water cold, as it comes from tho we'll or
cistern, but to add sufficient hot water to
raise the temperature.

How WOMEN WASH IN GENOA
Laundrying is done in Geneva as it is In
Paris. Anchored in the river are large
boats arranged for wash houses. In these
floating temples are furnaces which sup
ply hot water, and plank tables at which
the washerwomen do their work. The
garments are taken and swashed in the
hot water of the floating laundry. Then
they are religiously and conscientiously
soaped and placed upon these thick tables,
and pounded with wooden paddle till the
soap and water is driven completely
through them. Then they are rinsed in
the swift running water of the Rhone. and
POUNDED more, and rinsed and rinsed
gain, till they come out rs white as the
now from which comes the water. These
nymphs of the paddle and soap kettle are
industrious workers, with strong muscular
rms that seem capable Of dong any kind
f work, as indeed they are. 1t is no
mall matter to carry down to the river
he enormous bundles Of superlatively
| filthy clothes, and after the soapng and
beating and wringing carrying them home
wet and heavy. But possibly there are nc
more pounds to carry home than they
brought. There is added weight in the
water they hold. but the dirt is gone down
he river 10 form bars below and impede
navigation.
