Wives Who Want Divorce DEGREES.

Three ill-treated wives applied to the Superior
Court for divorces yesterday. Ida May Klein
mann desires legal separation from her hus-
band because he is q drunkard and neglects to
support her. They were married in May, 1856,
and she complains that he has allowed her
means for support since the marriage. In addi-
ton to the decree she asks for 800 alimony to
defray the expenses of the suit. BERTHE May Huber
asks for decree setting aside her marriage to
John Huber, to whom she was united in March,
1887, because he has abandoned her. They were
married in Butler county, Ohio, and moved to
this city in September. She says that after
coming here her husband deserted her. and his
residence is how unknown to her. The third
applicant Is Mary e. Chandler, who desires
legal separation from Jacob Fl. Chandler. She
charges failure to provide only. They were
married in 1860. and, according to her COM
plant. lived happily until six years ago. when
her husband ceased furnishing her means for
support

The Rag CARPET.

III you can not afford Administer
carpets and Persian rugs, have rag
carpet. The only thing that kills a
rag carpet for popularity is its cheap
ness. III it cost IS yard, IL would be
on the floor of every sond holder in
the land. There is something about a
rag carpet that suggests home. 1t is
not SO cold and formal TO the eye as
the handsomely lowered Brussels that
you see in parlor AS soon as you
put your foot on rag carpet, you feel
on good terms with the household; and
you naturally expect TO hear a kettle
sing, and see some friendly cat arch
her back and rub socially against your
shins.
And the man that owns rag car
pet made of articles collected about
the house can sit right down with the
carpet and talk TO it, 1t is full Of the
pleasantest "reminiscences. He can see
in that carpet pieces of all the cloth
ing he has worn during the past ten or
twenty years. All his cast off wearing
apparel is in that carpet, except what
Is in the crazy-quilt. Overcoats,- sus
penders, felt hats, neckties, gloves, and
overshoes glow before him in a red,
white, and blue sea that would set a
statue peddler crazy with delight.
The past comes back to him through
the medium or his metamorphosed
clothing Every strip has some as
ISOLATION connected with IL. There is
the soft hat that his hair used to grow
through the top Of when he was boy.
There is the oyercoat that never had a
whole lining in the sleeve; there are
the tops of the slippers his best girl
worked him--gold daisies on red
ground; and there are his wedding
suspenders He can never forget
those suspenders; they saw much more
active service than General Grant.
How many times had he made a but
ton-hole in them with his knifel And
when one got too weak TO be worn
longer, he kept himself together with
a solitaire, and converted the other in
TO razor strop. And when they had
both served two or three terms as razor
strops, they were put into the rag car
pet, where they loom up like two
white doves against the background
of black velvet, and after all the other
pieces in the carpet have lost their
color and character, the suspenders
will be as tough as railroad sponge
cake.-Erchdnge.

The Fire String.

The latest fad in Chinatown Is littlo
thing called fire string A fro string
Is the smallest edition of the Christian
idea of hell extant. Ii isn't MS big as
good-szed toothpick. but 1t is most
damnable invention. and characteristic
in its ingenious deviltry OF the yellow
skinned race. TO which its originator
belonged.
A fire string in its natural state looks
like an undeveloped primrose ut the
end Of its natural stem. The unopen-
cd bloom being cardinal red and tho
stem yellow, striped with green.
When Chinaman wants to be
thoroughly all fait and recherche and
chic and everything else that is fashion,
able and French. he meanders down TO
the grocery store of Hu Yet Sing and
invests dime In packet Of about $50
fire strings. Then no goes home to SGT
them of and smile. A single iiro
string will afford two minutes uncon-
trolabIc celestial POPULARITY; so pack
ct OF them is. after all. an economical
purchase when the buyer wants to get
gayety at a low figure.
The way JOY can be extracted from
fire string Is simple. Light tho fat
end and let IL burn. Ii shoulders a
moment or two aud then begins to
splitter. IL keeps on spluttcring for
half q minute like vesuyian. and then
a tiny molten fiery ball formes at the
end This remains spluttering for
about I5 seconds. or two. and a Chris
tain would think the fun was over.
But it's not. It's only about to begin.
Suddenly the little ball of fire begins
shooting forth beautiful shower of
brilliant sparks like m electric brush.
which scatter out like some beautiful
miniature fountain Of fire.
This display lasts minute or more,
by which time the little ball has shriy-
olcd down into the Dimensions OF pin
point. and drops of while tho heather
is lighting another one.
The little thing Is n most devilishly
ingenious inventions; IL only arrived in
this country from China month ago
and is already tho craze OF Mott Street.
