A Husbands Interest.

"A married woman buys house and lot with her own money; she and her husband live in the house, during which time the husband is relieved from pay ing rent which he would have been obliged to pay had not his wife bought the house and lot; at the end of three years she wishes to sell the property and the question is does the husband have any claim upon it and can she give good title without the signature of the husband to the deed. Is the husbands interest, if he has any, to be taken into account at all in the transaction ?"
 According to the laws of the State of New York a married woman may sell her own real estate and make 8 good title without her husbands joining in the deed, but most lawyers out of pru' dential considerations, advise theil clients to get the signature of the hus. band to deeds made by married wo- man. A short time ago this was neces- sary to make the title good, but recent legislation has changed that and while { married man cannot deed real estate un less his wife joins in the deed, married woman may do so with her own prop erty.- Tribune.

An Unfortunate People.

A Honolulu letter to tho St. Louis Globe Democrat says the charge 80 fre- quently made that the missionaries are responsible for the rapid extinction of the native race at the Sandwich Islands is without any foundation. The seeds of deadly disease were sown before their arrival. The Hawaiian race is doomed, and nothing but miracle could save them from certain extinction. That disease has made awful ravages among them is due to their contact with for. eigners. Of late years leprosy has been introduced by the Chinese, and it has spread with alarming rapidity. It ii estimated by good observers that fully one-hfth of all the native population if infected with it, or with similar com plaints in such an aggravated form af scarcely to be distinguished from th' genuine Asiatic leprosy.

The Habitnal Drunkard.

The term "habitual drunkard" is thus defined by a Maryland iudge:-"An habitual drunkard was such person as had acquired the habit of getting drunk frequently; that it was not necessary that such person was always drunk, or that he had to be drunk every day or every week; but that if he had acquired the habit of drinking to drunkenness, although there might be periods or in- tervals when he was sober, he was to be regarded as an habitual drunkard within the meaning of the law. The law is a police regulation, and intended to pre- vent the sale to such persons as had such habit, because in such case one drink was supposed to be calculated to stimulate the desire for more, probably beyond his control, and render likely such indulgence as might result in dis orderly conduct, and possibly breach of the peace and other evil consequences. |"

ST. PETERSBURG'S OFFENCES.
The Trouble m English Fleet Would Have
 in Taking st. Petersburg.

"But you are aware that the Russian fleet could not stand against the English aeet?' suggested reporter to Rus sian officer now in this country.
 "True enough" quickly admitted the officer. England has seventy-two armor clad men-of-war against thirty on the Russian side. But you must not forget that Russia cannot be forced to marine war. She has to defend her coast line, and this she is fully able to do, even against the English navy. For that purpose we have 120 torpedo boats and nine sloops-of-war. But in case of defence the coast fortresses are chiefly to be relied upon, and that is our strong point"
 "It is reported that England intends to transfer the war to the Baltic and to the Black sea" said the reporter.
 "Well, they are welcome there. On entering the Baltic the English men-of- war could not do anything more than force our government to keep at the capital an army of certain strength. But as to taking St. Petersburg there can be no question whatever, and the English know it as we'll as we do. Let all Europe go there by the sea and St. Petersburg could not be taken. I have served myself in the Cronstadt fortress and know perfectly well the whole ar- .o,,o.o-oo,k of Forno;JahIa Foroaa Aho-a I will give you just faint idea of the situation. Cronstsdt is situated on the Kotlin Island, forty-six versts, or about thirty-on miles, from St. Petersburg. There are two channels leading to the capital, one north and the other south from Cronstadt. Both channels are, as it were, virtually closed by the three strategic lines of powerful forts on arti- ficial islands. Now, in order to reach St. Petersburg the English men-of-war would have to pass between these forts. By a device of our own we may concen- trate the fire of at least hundred can- mons at any time and on any point of those channels. As have said already, we might easily sink there the combined fleet of all Europe. The cannon we have there are of the heaviest and best make in existence. Some of them could welcome the English with half ton can. non balls. Our men-of-war might also stand between those forts and act as forts. Besides all that, each channel there is closed by torpedoes. I hope you see now that it is quite impossible for the English to pass Cronstadt and to reach our capital. Besides Cron- stadt we have those excellent coast fortresses, such as Sveaborg and Vyborg. The whole coast of the Finn Bay is guarded by torpedoes. No, no, the English would have to keep at re- spectacle distance from Cronstadt."
