The husband is not liable, according
to decision of the Kansas Supreme
Court, for slandereus words uttered,
in his absence, by his wife. Her
brain and hands and tongue are her
own, and she should alone be respon-
sible for slandeps uttered by herself"
This decision marks q decided step of
progress in ameliorating the condition
of the husband, inasmuch as by the
common law he would be liable. BY
this law husband and wife were one,
and he was that one. 1t contemplated
a state Of harmony as the chief end and
consolation of matrimonial existence,
and to secure it gave TO the member of
the family most able to dominate its af-
fairs not only the right of restraining
the wife "by domestic chastisement,
but also control of her property and
earnings. Since the barbarous day
when the common law came into force
the point of view of both the man and
woman in regard to the interests and
diversions of life had been radically
changed. Out-of-door relations and
pleasures have immensely multiplied,
creating alternative interests and rem
dering the maintenance of indoor dis
cipline less imperative. In word, the
social aspect of existence is to-day vast
ly larger, and the resources of litera-
ture, science and industry, for both man
and wife, are infinitely larger than they
were in that remote period when for
the progenitors of the English people
the incidents of the hearthstone consti-
tuted ninety-nine hundredths of every
body's means of happiness. The rule
of the stronger, which, even when it is
necessary, is too often unjust, has been
set aside by modern legislation.-Balti-

Nile Boats.

AS punctuality and exactitude are
unknown things in Egypt, before the
nuggar in which had secured q pas
sage started, two or three hours of
waiting had to be endured While we
linger let me say word or two descrip-
tive of our craft. A dahabieh is yes
sci which may be fifty feet or one hun
dred feet iu length, and twelve or
twenty feet in breadth. She may have
one or two masts, but the foremost,
with its long lateen sail, is its main de-
pendence for speed in sailing A we'll
appointed dahabieh is completely
decked over, and has state-rooms rich
in paint, gilt holdings, curtains, mos
quito nets, and marble baths, etc.
The nuggar, at it's best. scarcely ever
attains the dignity of savage-hrother
relationship to the dahabieh. 1t is an
open boat from thirty to forty feet
long and fifteen to twenty feet wide.
Everything about it is of native make
and fashion, from the rough hewn,
knotty, cross-grained mimosa or sont-
wood timbers aud plank to the date
palm fiber ropes. The beams are
gnarled saplings, for it seems impos-
sible for any other tree tn n the date
palm to grow straight in this country.
A few crooked planks fore and aft to
stand upon enable the Grew to work the
boat. When you wish to pass to stem
or stern across the intervening chasm,
You have to spring from beam
to beam like cat, or crawl
around by the gunwale. Often the
outside planking looks as short, crisis
cro.s, and patchy as chess-board, ex-
cepting the pieces fail TO fit together and
the joints are open and gaping enough
to thrust your shut hand into the mug
gar's sides. The water is kept out by
bits of skins and calking of mud and
cotton. AS you make the journey up
the Nile by nuggar the chink of the
calking-irons continually resounds in
your ears. and when the craft is strain
ing and quivering in the leaping water
amid the cataracts the "clink-thud,"
"clink-thud" becomes as gruesome as

lish Channel The nuggar has very lit

Far on the gray sea glooms and glowers-
Far off the salt winds vaguely stray
And through the long, monotOnous hours
My thoughts 90 wandering on their way
Go back to find that earlier time
When. lingering by "A bluer sea,
A poet wooed me with his rhyme.
And all the world was changed for me,
The winds to music strange were set
The sunsets glowed with sudden flame,
And all the shining sands were wet
With waves that whispered as they came,
And told a tender, low breathed tale
OF love that always should be young:
Dear love that should not change or fail
Such love as ove-lorn barbs have sung.
Pale roses bloomed by that far sea
And -hivered al the sea-wind's breath
A bird flew low, and sang to me
"'rhe end of love and life is death"
left the pale rose where it grew
would not heed the warning bird
Of all the world only knew
How sweet the music had heard;
How dear the love. how true the truth,
My poet uttered in his rhyme:
And how il gave ME back my youth
In that deep hearted summer time.
Then wiDter camG-thc pale rose died,
And 10 the south the wise bird flew;
And I-ah me, the world is wide
And poets love while love is new.
