two years, for extravagant purchases by his wife, he was so deeply mortified that he requested the reporter to print a fictitious name in place. Of his own in tn volume containing the report of the case.
 This rule of necessaries applies also to suits against fathers for purchases made by their minor children. Thus, in England. finger-ring and gold watch and chain were considered nec- essary for the son of q nobleman in col lege, but a "wine supper was not thought to be necessary for any youth whatever.
 It will be seen that if there be inrls- tice to women in this particular matter of necessaries it is not so much the law itself as the interpretation of it in a given case by the jury. 1t is the jury the twelve men who theoretically represent the average sentiment of the community have the power to say what is necessary for wife to have and to wear. The community is supposed to voice itself through a jury chosen from among the community. But how can twelve men represent the sentiment of community composed of mon and women, especially in a matter where q woman's proper clothing and maintenance are in question? Would not the presence of six women on the jury insure a more intelligent verdict in such 2 case2

DANGERS OF TRAVEL
What One Can Learn by Taking Fast
 Ride a Locomotive.

We can not tell from the time tables how fast we travel. The schedule times do not indicate the delays that must be made up by spurts between stations. The traveller who is curious to know just how fast he is going. and
 likes the stimulus of thinking that he is in little danger, may find amuse- ment in taking the time between mile- posts: and when these are not to be seen, he can often get the speed very accurately by counting the rails passed in given time. This may be done by listening at open window or door. The regular clicks of the wheels over the rail joints can usually soon be singled out from the other noises. and count ed. The number of rail lengths passed in twenty seconds is almost exactly the number of miles run in an hour If one wants to get lively sense of what it means 10 rush through space at fifty or sixty miles an hour. he must get on a locomotive. Then only does he begin to realize what trihcs stand between him and destruction. \ few weeks ago lady sat an hour in the cab of locomotive hauling q fast express train over q mountain road. She saw the narrow bright line of the rails and the slender points of the switches She heard the thunder of the bridges. and saw the track shut in by rocky bluffs and new perils sud, denly revealed as the engine swep around sharp curves. The experience W as to her magnificent, but the sense of danger was most appalling. To have made her experience complete. she should have taken one engine ride in q dark and rainy night. In a daylight ride on a locomotive we come to real iZe how slender is the rail and how fragile it's fastenings compared with the pouderous machines they carry. We see what trifling m oyement of q switch makes the difference between life and death We learn how short the look ahead must often be and how close danger sits on either hand. But it is only in night ride that we learp how dependent the engineer must be, after all, upon the faithful vigilance of others. The headlight reveals d few yards of glistening rail and the ghostly telegraph poles and switch targets. Were switch open, rail taken up. or q pile of ties on the track, we could not possibly see the danger in time to stop.-H C. Trout. in Scrib ! ner.s Magazine.

THE TURKISH CAPITAL
One of the Most Beautiful and IndescrIb.
 able Cite. h the World.

able Cities In the World.
 Constantinople has about 1000. 900 people. It is one of the most beauti- ful cities in the world, and also one of the most indescribable. Lying as it does at the mouth of the Bosphorus and at the head of the Sea of Mar mora, it is between Europe and Asia. and it forms the connecting link be- tween one and the other The Sea If Marmora is as blue as the Mediter- ranean In entering it you sail for miles through the Straits of Darda- nelles, across which Byron swan, and on each side of which the hills rise in low mountains, with picturesque vil- lages at their feet. The Bosphorus itself is lined with great hills, and Constantinople stands upon hill and valley. The city is composed of three quarters, and the one you see first in coming to it by sea Is Stamboul. Imagine great city arising as it were from the edge of the sea. Let it have hundreds of tall white towers extending for many feet above it's nests of houses. Let it's hills be crowned with mighty mosques. some of which cover acres, and from the minarets of which you hear the shrill tenor voices calling out the hours of prayer. Let 8 low, ruined wall run around the edge of this vast city, and let wilderness of pal aces slope down from hill at Seraglio point to the edge of the water Put green trees among the houses and let there be patch of green grass here and there amid the wilderness of build ings, and this gives you confused idea of Stamboul Al the right almost stones throw from Europe is Asia. and the white, glaring town at the base of its hills is Skutari, where the der- wishes live, and where the most fanatic of the Turks hold their celebrations On in front of you as far as you can see flows what appears to be mighty river it's steep banks lined with Oriental palaces and modern vil- las. and as you round the point you face another piece of water which washes the European side of Stamboul. and which is the famous Golden Horn. On one side of this, surrounding q massive GeOnese tower and climbing up hill as steep as those of San Francisco, are the cities of Pera and Galata, and at their base on the Wa ter's edge is long, white. three-story palace Of the Sultan. and further up on the hill among the trees is another palace, in which his Royal Highness lives with his harem. The Golden Horn itself is deep inlet, half mile wide where it joins the Bosphorus, and narrowing as il curves in and around Stamboul and goes on into the country to the sweet waters of Europe. There is a bridge of boats crossing it which connects European Constantinople witA Oriental stamboul, and this bridge is the great artery through which the blood of the two civilizations mixes IS 1t flows.-F.

SUFFRAGE GEEANlNGS.

MRs. ALLEN HAMILTON. a sister ot Congressman Holman. of Indiana. who died recently at Fort Wayne. be- queathod $1, 1,000 to the cause of woman suffrage, the money to be held in trust by Mrs. Lucy Stone and Susan B. Anthony.
 TIE Woman's Medical College of Chicago, celebrated tho opening of it's twentieth year of instruction, recently. Over one hundred students have been enrolled for the present year, and large, new college building is nearly completed, which will be used for oper- ations and lectures,
 SUSAN B. ANTHONY has written to Mayor Grace, of New York, suggesting that one Of the permanent buildings of the World Fair be set aside to women. for an exhibit Of their work. While the men of the country" she says. shall rear temples in honor of Colum- bus it will surely be most fitting for the women to celebrate the virtues of Queen Isabella.
 WOMEN as Inspectors of Custom in New York, havo proved success. Their employment in the ex- animation of tho baggage and persons of women passengers is very appropriate, and they have displayed much detective skill The names of tiftytwo candidates for positions as In- speetors have been published by the Custom House authorities. They have all passed the Civil Service examina- tion.
 NOMAN's SUFFRAGE does not lose in the new State constitutions. In North and South Dakota, Washington and Idaho school suffrage is accorded to women; and In Montana, upon all ques- tions submitted to the vote of tax-pay- CTS women taxpayers can vote. In South Dakota and Washington tis pro- yided that the question of giving women full suffrage shall be referred to a spe- cial vote of the people, and women now yo.ers can vote on the question. 1 There is a real advance along the whole line.-N. Y. Independent
 SWEDEN would seem to be a country after the heart t the most pronounced advocate of woman's rights. Women are there employed in all the vacations which ordinarily are conceded to be the peculiar property of mankind. Ey- ory Swedish girl not born to wealth is taught trade of some kind, and it is now triumphantly announced that Swedish women will shortly receive equal political rights with their hus- bands and other male relatives
 TIE Nation, in an article on "The I Politics of English Women" calls at- tention to the fact that while English women of the highest social standing 1 take great deal more interest in poli- ] tics than American women do, many of them are opposed to woman suffrage. l The reason is easily arrived at. Should 1 the suffrage be extended so as to in- clude women as a class, these high bred ladies would lose their influence l in politics and count less than many women of the best character with whom 1 they have not the least sympathy ] Central Christian Advocate.

THE PREHISTORIC HORSE
Something About It's Evolution to the
 Noble Animal of 1o Day.

Noble Animal of To-Day.
 The modern horse is descended from ahorse-like animal whose remains have in recent years been brought to light by several of our advanced scientists. These remains are found in the lake and swamp formations spread over considerable portions of New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah. They show that the earliest horse, or horse-like ani- nal, had five toes or fingers; that is, il had four well-developed toes of the fore feet and the rudiment of fifth toe or finger This period is called the Eocene, and the animal the Eohip- pus and Orohippus. l. was not larger than fox or an ordinary terrier dog. Geologist5 believe they have traced 1t through another stage to an animal whose charac teristics more and more resemble those of the horse. and whose size was that of sheep; that is the form to which the names of Anchiterim and Miohippus have been given; these names mean creature approaching the horse; they apparently had three toes, and they belonged to the Miocene period. In the Piiocene times came the Hipparion and Pliohippus, animals as large as the modern donkey, and al- most horse; these still had three toes or fingers, but the central toes alone rested on the ground the others being drawn upward, and were useless for walking purposes. In the true horse, as We now know the animal. these ex. ternal toes or fingers have become rudimentary; there is no external trace of them, but when the skin is removed from the horses shank two skewer- like bones are seen, one on each side of the cannon bone. 1t was only in the Pleistocene period (immediately pre- ceding man) that the animal appeared that approached i'll size the existing horse. Many important structural notifications have taken place since the beginning of the era, such as the lengthcning of the neck, the altering of the skull. the changing of the coarse and heavy mane. and the difference as to limbs, as well as the teeth in a marked degree. The breeding oi horses by man has brought about many artificial changes, which. added to the changes already re- ferfed to. have given Us the useful and beautiful modern animal When deprived of the influence of man the horse soon displays a tendency te retrograde to the earlier types, the limbs and body gradually diminishing. while the head remains the original size. He speed attained by the modern horse Is the result of this care in breeding, something not required in the earlier types of the animal. Prof ". IL Flowers remarks in re- gard to the single toe: 1t can be demonstrated by the structure of the foot itself. and also by an examination of the immediate forms, Chat this toe corresponds 10 the middle or third of the complete typical pentadactyie foot, the ring finger of man; and there is very strong evidence to show that by gradual concentration of all the power of the limb upon this toe. and the concurrent dwindling away and final disappearance of all the others, the present condition of the horses foot has been produced.

A JAPANESE STORY.
An Excellent Illustration of a Grasping 2
 Close Fisted Temper.

An Excellent illustration of Graspng, Close Fisted Temper.
 In every country town there are at least one or two men Of bad repute for greed mess. They always insist upon all that belongs to them, and, if pos sible. little more. No one ever gets the better of them in trade, or if by chance, such thing does happen, it is bit of good fortune upon which the entire community congratulates itself. They get all they can. aud they keep all they get; and with all the rest they get and keep bad name. The people of apan know them. and have story to illustrate their grasping, close-fsted temper.
 There was once a grand wedding, and among the guests was one old gen. tleman who did not partake of the good cheer with the rest.
 Cant 1 get something for yOu9' asked the host. "Perhaps you would eat some candy"
 So saying, he brought beautifully decorated jar nearly full of sugar. plums. The old man took the jar on his knees, and put in his hand for some candy. Though the mouth of the jar seemed little sm all. he forced his hand without much difficulty. When, however. he tried to pull 1t out again it stuck fast He pulled and twisted, but all in vain, the hand would not come out.
 The person who sat next the old man. seeing that something was out Of the way, inquired: What is the matter?a
 "Oh, nothing, nothing of any eonse- quence; only my hand has somehow got caught in this jar. and won't como out
 That is too bad said the other, just let me take hold of the jar, and then if you pull hard, you will get freen
 So, while the old man tried to pull out his hand. the other tugged away in the opposite direction. The rest of the company were conyulsed with laughter, as they saw the exertions Of the two men. whom they jokingly compared to two struggling warriors.
 To the old man it was no laughing matter. ''lt hurts awfully. and doesn't start at all, he said, with the tears rolling down his checks.
 The company now stopped making fun, for the affair was getting serious. Finally one of the guests said: Don't make so great an ado over the matter. l remember the famous stoH of Shiba Onka who, when a child, M one day playing with several of his compan- ions near big jar filled with water.
 ..0ne of the boys who climbed up on this slipped and fell in. The other children, with the exception of Shiba Onko. ran off in fright; but he picked up q large stone and threw it against the jar, which broke. and let out both the water and the boy. l will take the part of Shiba Onio, and though 1t is great pity to destroy it. the beau- tiful jar is not so valuable as our friend's hand.
 The old man stretched out his arm, and the other struck the jar The candy went scattering like snow over the mats, and the old man was set free. And now, when they came to look at his hand. the reason why he could not get it out was evident The greedy fellow had grasped big handful of candy, to which he had held fast all the time Missionary Herald

MONKEY AND BULLDOGS

How a Venerable >imian Punished an
 Aggressive Canine GrowIer.
 Some species of the monkey family are held sacred by the Hindoo5, with the result that the naturally mischiev- ous animals become extremely famil- far; so familiar, indeed. as to be real : ly d nuisance, at least in the eyes of European residents. The author of "Thirty-eight Years in India, ,' gives an amusing account of an experience of his dog with one of these sacred misehief-makers.
 The monkey took up his position day after day on the lower branch of a large mango-tree, and there he re- mained indifferent to all threats and intimidation; and this led to deli cious result.
 have already mentioned Toby. II my unparalleled bulldog. When tho nuisance of these sacred monkeys be- gan to be annoying, Toby interested himself in making occasional raids upon the intruders, but with little ef- feet, and he seemed quite distressed by his failures.
 One day l was standing with the dog by my side when We observed our de- liant old friend take his seat as usual on the branch. As he allowed his tail to hang down, it struck me, and 1 ver- fly believe it struck Toby also. that. ashough his body was out of reach. his tail might be grabbed.
 spoke in a low tone to Toby; he seemed to understand, eroHched, and very gradually approached the tree. The monkey remained immoyable, and apparently unconcerned, and the tail continued to hnng temptingly down
 Suddenly Toby made a rush for tho tail. Every thing bespoke a triumph long delayed
 Alas, alas! The venerable monkey never moved, but as Toby's open mouth turned upward to seize at least the tail, he quietly, but at the proper moment, lifted it up with his left hand as gentleman would raise his coat- tail to enjoy the fire. and, stopping slightly forward, gave Toby q pleas ant box on the ear with his right hand. looking at him, as he passed, with calm and satirical indifference.
 More amusing still was the fact that after this rehearsal the experiment was repeated more than once. can still vividly recall the calm, philo- sophical indifference of the monkey. the calculating advance of the impas- stoned and yet bai1led Toby the re- peated rush, the quiet elevation of the tsil. and the insultins pat on the gasp ing cheek.
