".
In the Circuit Court for Carroll county.
Annie McCann, plaintiff, VS.. Thomas F. Nc
Cam, defendant.
The object of this suit is to obtain decree
Of divorce a rinciLlO mdtTimORii from the de-
PENDANT
The bill of complaint states that on or about
the year 1873 the plaintiff was married to de-
feudant in Carroll county, Maryland; that she
has always been a true and faithful wife to
defendant, but that defendant, in the month
of September, A. D. 1880, beat her with a
stick and drove her from his home, and has
since refused to live with her or to support
her; that defendant has abandoned the plain
tiff. and that said abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly for at least three years, and
ia deliberate and final; and that the separa-
tion is beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation, and that said defendant is not
now resident of the State of Maryland,
1t thereupon adjudged and ordered, this
sth day of May, A. d. 1884, that the plaintiff,
by causing a copy of this order to be inserted
in some newspaper published in Carroll
county, Maryland, once in each Of four sue
cessive weeks before the 18th day of June
next, give notice to Thomas F. Mccain, the
said absent defendant, of the substance and
object of this bill, and warn him to appear in
this Court. in person or by solicitor, on or be-
fore the LIST Monday Of September next, to
answer the premises and show cause, if any
he has why a decree ought not TO pass as
prayed.

sumed, nature had intended him to be.
He was supposed TO be revolutionary in
politics and heretical in faith, if not posi-
lively an atheist. Persons not yet middle
aged will remember how fiereely the con-
troversy ragged. 1t sounds ludicrous now
to younger generation, which, thanks to
the struggles of their elders, enjoys per-
feet freedom in such matters but it was
not laughing matter at the time. Bish-
ops and judges, as has been said before, not
only denounced but prosecuted the beard.
Masters forbade it to their employees. A
well-known West-End bank, with a certain
humor that does something to atone for the
tyranny of the act, issued an edict that
gentlemen were not to wear boards or
moustaches during Office hours" Congre-
cations deserted ministers who had the
presumption to appear as, according to all
tradition-and, indeed, all probability-the
founder of their religion appeared. Slowly
the opposition became less vehement. A
bearded clergyman was appointed to a
bishopric (not in England, it is true-that
has not yet, we think, happened), and de-
clined to follow the suggestion of his
Metropolitan and shave. Now every man
may do as he pleases; but certainly, while
he has to own to a record of such unrea-
sonable intolerance on the part of his own
sex, he cannot say much about feminine
subservience to fashion.

st. James Gazette.
DR.. R. Main Talbot, Medical Officer of
Health for Bow and Bromley-a wide area
containing an immense population Of irreg-
glarly employed and uuskilled laborers-
has issued statement on some unregarded
aspects Of the problem. As to the sanitary
condition of dwelling houses he says that
the dirt of which so much is being written
is more often than not the filth engendered
by the habits of the occupants themselves.
Patchwork is never cleaned and cupboards
are never scrubbed out, Granted that It
is the landlords duty to keep the house IN
good sanitary condition, pr, Talbot urges
that it should not be too much to expect of
the tenant or the ledger that he should
help, that If the wall paper becomes loose
he Should refasten it, that if the ceiling be-
comes smoky he should cleanse it. But
when everything is done for the ledger it
is futile. He brings into his room his be-
longings, the chief of which are an four
post bedstead, occupying two-thuds of the
room, and bed in such a condition that
repose on it is impossible without acclima-
tization. Over the floor he spreads filthy
pieces of carpet-matting, and then he and
his family whose bodies are never washed,
occupy it. To make All mpfe snag, the
tenant proceeds to block up every crevice
by which fresh air can enter the room.
Talk to one of these on the subject of per-
sonal cleanliness aud you occasion surprise.
Their children fall i'll of, say, measles, scaF-
let fever or Inflammation of the lpnsggs-the
suggestion of spopgiipg is treated with de-
rision The absolute recklessness with
which they breed aud spread disease is al
most Incredible. A mother will lose child
after child from bronchitis or Inflammation
of the lungs; the cause is always ascribed to
cold or teething, never to want of pure air
If asked whether they ever open the win.
dows by day, the chances are the reply is,
"No." Without charging on the acoEes,
if not hundreds, who are sHfoeated to death
every YeaE DIR, Talbot points to the COM
mon practice Of sending children in the
house to school while one or two Others are
down with some infectious disease. With
regard to the water supply, DIR. Talbot
avows himself frequently astounded at what
occurs. Then, in the removal of dust and
refuse, how is it that the patience and pains
taking of the local authorities in London is
baffled? Every conceivable plan has been
tried which possessed the slightest practi-
cal worth, and every plan has failed in Sc
curing the speedy and regular removal of
refuse The reason is, the obstructiveness
of householders to the periodical removal
of dust. In fine, DR., Talbot avows him
self convinced that until some pains are
taken by the poor themselves to keep them
selves and their surroundings in a good
sanitary condition, external efforts will be
to very great extent unavailing.

her deft fingers, confusion was suddenly
banished, and when Mr.. Granger came
round to spend the evening he decided that
nobody had prettier wife or tidier home
than his friend Tom Carter.
Wise little Nellie, having gained posses,
sion of the matrimonial field, took good
care to keep to it until Tom was quite cured
of his careless habits.
Sometimes he seemed threatened. with a
relapse; but Nellie, instead of scolding, only
had quietly to bring something of her own
and lay it beside whatever he had tossed
down, and it was sure to be put away i'm
mediately, for Tom seldom failed to take
the hint
And if some other little woman, as tidy
and clean as Nellie, takes a hint also, this
story will have served its purpose.

A BEE's FEEF,-Naturalists say that
the feet of the common working bee ex-
hihit the combination of basket, brush
and pair of pineers. The brush, the
hairs of which are arranged in symmetrical
rows, are only to be seen with the micro
scope. With this brush of fairy delicacy
the bee brushes its velvet robe, to remove
the pollen dust with which it becomes
loaded while riAing the flowers and sucking
up their nectar. Another article, followed
up like spoon, receives all the gleanings
which the insect carries Ia the hive, Its
a paaieF for provisions, Finally, BY open
ing them, one upon another, by means of
Kings, these two pieces become pair of
pincers, which render important service in
the construction of the combs.
