How the Royal Family Lives.

Living in a pretty little cottage in the
West end is an intelligent Enylishwo-
man, who at one time lived in the pres
ence OF royalty, and was sheltered by
the same roof which canopied a queen.
She is o the wife of a thriving me-
chanic, and to a News-Jou7ual reporter
looked quite as happy in her present
surroundings as fancy ever painted a
queen to be. The reporter found her
by the merest chance, and when he
called and stated his business she X
pressed some doubt as to the propriety
OF talking, but agreed at last to tell a
little OF her experience if her name was
except out of the papers,"
"All right. I'll not publish your
NAME. Give me the facts. | believe

at the castle, and when / was about six

"Were you in any way thrown in the
company of the Queen?'
'les, quite often. You see. some of
the servants she never saw, but nv du-
ties took me all around the castle, and
saw her more than any OF the Others"
sWhat kind OF a mistress was she?''
"Oh, she wasn't the mistress. She
don'tknow anything aboutthe house that
way. She used to go around and take
a look at things. but she didn't play
mistress at all. She left that to the diff
ferent housekeepers."

'.Did the Queen W. come into the
kitchen, like the ladies of less degree
are supposed to do?"

it too. Why, I've seen her Majesty

The editor Of the Berrvv;1,e m1,.,

The editor OF the Berryville Clarion
is tempted to forsake the tiowery fields
of bucolic journalism. He was sick and
unable to write the usual editorial mat
ter for his last issue, and when he got
out everybody complimented him upon
the wonderful improvement he had
made in his paper. He was so mad
that he went right home, called his wife
by her maiden name. made faces at his
children, and then deliberately sat down
in an '~easy-chair' and wished himself
dead.-Boston Transcript.

DIVORCE.
Woman's Letter I'm Reply to the
Demand for Biblical Divorce.


The following is woman's letter, ad-
dressed through St. Louis paper, to the
reverend gentlemen who have been say.
ing they wanted Biblical divorce law:
Reverend and Dear Sirs: You gravely
announce your opinions that the State
and Legislature should be petitioned to
revoke existing divorce laws and fashion
them after the model left by Moses, the
Hebrew. have read the Bible carefully,
and find that under the Mosaic law the
question of divorce was entirely in the
hands Of the husbands. Wives were
powerless as dumb cattle, and had
to submit implicitly. A Jewish husband
could divorce his wife with or without
cause other than his whim or caprice.
There was no judge or jury to decide the
case between husband and wife. All the
husband had to do was to write a little
bill OF divorce, put it his wife's hand and
send her out of the house, away from her
home and children. She had no redress,
no appeal; 60 she had to, and her hus.
band was free to marry again the next
minute. If this was not absolutely the
written laws of the Jews, it certainly
was the practice. There are numbers of
instances recorded in the Scriptures.
King David divorced his wife Michal al.
though she was a Kings daughter, and
had saved her husbands life when he was
hard pressed by his enemies. Michal's
only offence was that she ventured to tell
David that if he was not more careful
about exposing his person in the street
the maids would laugh at him. This so
offended David's ego, he instantly wrote
little bill of divorce, put it in Michal's
hand and sent her away. Is this the
sort Of scriptural living you reverend gen.
tlemen wish? The same paper which
gives your opinion Of divorce laws, gives
an account OF husband here in this So
called Christian city OF st. Louis who,
after repeated attempts at shooting his
wife, after beating and otherwise cruelty
using her for years, at length dashed
vitriol over her face and blinded her eyes.
There is no evidence that this husband or
wife ever committed adultery, for which
you would be willing to grant divorce.
Is it possible you think adultery worse
crime than such treatment? Is it pos.
sible you wish the law to hold woman
to husband who blinds her with vitriol?
In the Post Dispatch Of June 5th is the
story of an unfortunate wife whose hus'
band belongs to your order. I beg you
to get the post.Dispatch of June 9Th and
read the testimony Of Mrs. Haas as to the
husbands treatment and look into your
own hearts and seeif any Of your daugh'
ters should marry such reverend
scoundrel you would not wish the law to
free her from him. Adultery is bad,
none viii dispute the fact, but there are
things that men sometimes do hundred
| times worse than adultery. 1t is worse
to beat and kick and starve wife, it is
worse to beat and kick and cuff children,
it is a million times worse to blind and
dis6gure wives with vitriol; yet, for these
crimes, oh, shortsighted men OF God You
would refuse divorce to woman.
