Enforcing Marital Rights.

The case of Mr.. and Mrs. Weldon,
of England. is attracting good deal
of attention throughout the civilized
world. The lady has beautiful voice,
and was an ornament to society before
she married; but she has an unhappy
temper, shrewish tongue and an in
ordinate delight in litigation. She has
plenty of money, and can indulge in the
iuxury-of going to law. Her husband
found living with her uncomfortable, so
he left her. He offered her every in
dticement to live alone. She was to
have a house and money to live on COM
fortably; but that was not enough.
She insisted upon her rights to her hus-
band. and she went to law to make him
live with her. The court sustained
her right. though admitting that the
law was absurd. The court, however,
suspended any punishment on Mr..
Weldon, pending an appeal to higher
court. The lady was so eager to get a
decision in her favor that she applied
to the Justices of Appeal to take the
case out of its regular order, which they
refused to do. 1t seems, however, that
it really is the law of England that a
husband or wife can be punished for
not living with married partner who
is hateful to them. At last accounts a
law had been proposed in Parliament
to rectify this state of things.

The Maine Girls Chewing Gum.

1t costs $1,000 a year to keep
Augusta citizens in chewing gum.
Young ladies. especially those in school,
are pre- erbially gum-chewers, and it
takes no small amount to keep them
supplied. Yesterday Frenchman
from Horeb Falls was in town and
marketed 125 pounds of the spruce
article. One druggist took seventy live
pounds. 1t cost in the neighborhood of
one dollar a pound. 1t was prime
gum, white and free from imperfec-
lions, was in Jumps, and had been
carefully scraped and cleansed. The
man said that he had two hundred
hounds of the gum at home which he
proposed to market in Belfast. Gum
from young trees is the best, being OF
a lighter color and Of better flavor
than that taken from old trees, which
is of a darker shade and has rank
taste. There are men who make gum
gathering q business, and derive snug
little income from this source. But the
spruce forests which grow this product
are failing. and the day is not far dis
tant when there will be famine in
genuine gum. The lumberman is
making enormous inroads into the ranks
of the trees, and the spruce-worm hai
injured or killed thousands. -ASgusts

"Ups and Downs"

Two men, about the same age one
well dressed and the other showing that
once he had been-nearly ran into each
of Sixth Avenue and Thirty-frst Street.
They both laughingly apologized to
each other and went on their way:
There, did you see that?" asked
well-known horseman who was stand
ing I'm doorway talking to reporter.
There's more in that incident than
you think. 1t was the ups and downs
in life coming in contact"
ssBut's that's an everyday occur
renee" said the reporter.
Eyes, that's so; but let me tell you
it's an incident out of the common run.
Do YOU know who the smaller, shabby
looking man was? No! Well, that
was Johnny Crooks, the famous Cali
fornia track driver. He has trotted for
thousands of dollars-won thousands
and lost thousands, for now he is aspoor
as Jobs turkey. Norman ever had better
opportunities in the horse world to be-
come and stay rich man than he. he
is going about to-day trying to raise a
subscription to buy a trotting wagon.
He hasn't got cent left, he says. His
seat through life has been behind fast
horses-in sulky.
"And the other mani"
'.There he is now," replied the horse
man, pointing out nicely dressed,
large, well preserved man about fifty
five years OF age, with gray hair and
iron gray mustache. "His name is
Owen McCabe. He is the private
coachman for the widow of the late A.
c. Clark, of this city. Talk OF being a
bank clerk or q walking gentleman in .
high toned drygoods store! Even their
positions amt sinecures compared to
his. All he has to do is to drive the
Clark family about little in the morn
ing. Very seldom it is that he has to go
out at night. When Mr.. Clark died he
left him $4,000. Heis worth 800, 900
now, and his seat has been on the box,
which shows that even coachman can
sometimes strike lie"
"Now, that lets me in," said Ira
Brown, the livery stable keeper; ''but
I'll get my man to tell his story for him.
self. What he says will be the truth.
He has driven for me for over fifteen
years, and / know him."
Mr.. Brown then sent boy to his
stable, who presently came back with
an English looking old man, with white
hair. "Charles Wards his name,
whispered Mr.. Brown. Nov. Ward. y
he continued. 'you struck oil down in
Pennsylvania once, tell these gentle
men about it..
Then the old driver told how he had
bought small piece of property ii
Lords Valley, in Pike County, for 9
few dollars, and one day had found OF
in his spring. "The news got out, h
said. '.and I was offered 100000 IL
gold for my land" !.
"And you wouldn't think of taking j
because you thought you were giving
your land away?" interrogated Mr.
Brown.
"Just so," replied the old man.
Sand you did not get any money o.
become rich?"
"No;" but he added, with a sly wink
as he whipped up and drove away
..rye got the land yet, Mr.. Brown.

Hired Help.

May have word to say in the Her
aid about hired help, for hiring as do,
and keeping my eyes open. think lean
'ssee" some of the reasons why so many
farmers do not find il profitable to en-
plov labor. l have no doubt many
men employed would be dear help, if
only given their board in exchange for
their assistance, but there is another
class of help. ready and willing to earn
their wages, and will do it any time, If
the farmer is director of labor and
can "plan" the work ahead.
In the first place, no farmer can en-
ploy help at a profit who does not have
his seasons labor mapped OUT
months ahead, and knows exactly what
he intends to do, and then does it. To
never know until after breakfast what
the DAYS work is to be, and often
change the programme, after an hour
or two OF labor, is to do nothing in the
end. A whole day or even more is
often sacrificed without any show for
the labor, but it all costs, and makes
good showing-towards failure.
Farmers often keep help at high figures
on jobs that are of little Importance,
and wholly out of time and place at
that. Such as mending brush fence,
patching up an old rail fence with
poles, ETC., etc., the article laborcd
within the end not being worth the cost
of labor. All these things have their
times of being looked after, but to
neglect crops, and be everlastingly fix
ing something for the slime being" is
to make paid labor improbable.
Again, unless the farmer enlarges the
magnitude of his farm work, grows
larger crops, improves his farm in many
ways and enlarges his income in pro-
portion to the outlay, there will be a
good reason for ''unprofitable help"
II the hired man is to do chores and
"potter about" and accomplish nothing
visible to the eye. or the pocket
book other than to ''fiatten it" the
employment of help had best be dis.
pensed with; but If fields are cleared
up, valuable crops raised. the dairy
made more productive by soiling crops
and the farm put to rights in the proper
season, then farm labor must be profit
| able.
Lastly, it is rare that ''cheap" labol
is profitable. If man is gooe
worker, energetic, and lean set him
self to work. and keep the machine
going, whether the farmer is present o.
not. the price he may ask, or demand
will be the cheapest labor in the end
1t is keeping expensive help at worl
on jobs that produce no income, or il
so ordering the work that nothing j
accomplished, that causes two-thirds o
the complaint about Improbable labor
