the Aufenthie Divorce Case.

+ In the case Of Rose NJ Aufenthie against J.
r. Aufsnthie for divorce on the ground of
bad treatment Messrs. E. C. and Campbell Car
rington have fled answer for the defendant.
He denies that he keeps low place ana denies
tho plaintiffs statements as 10 alleged cruel
and brutal treatment by the defendant, which,
he says, are without the slightest foundation
and truth.
He says the allegation that he starved the
plaintiff or attempted to starve her aud by
cruel treatment forced her into the attic
are utterly false, and that all the
similar allegations made by his wife
are not only false but are ridiculous. and
prove what the defendant and his friends
and neighbors, who have had an opportunity TO
Know from personal observation, are aware
of-that the plaintiff is insane, utterly
irresponsible for her words and actions, and an
insane asylum.
He accuses.the wife of improper conduct,
that can be accounted for only on the theory Of
insanity. and he says ne has been utterly ruined
behavior.
He says that he will file n cross bill for a
divorce vincuio matrimoni unless some ar
ran8ement can be made to send his wife to an
insane asylum or some other institution for un-
fortunates until her physical and mental health
can be restored.
He affirms that his wife is in all respects an
improper person to have the care of their two
infant children, and he therefore prays that he
may have the absolute control of these children,
free from any interference by the plaintiff or
any person or persons acting by or under her
authority.

The latest charity craze in London, says
writer on the Chicago Post, Is the educational
food fund, Of which the school children are the
benefciaries. The contributing societies are
the Bread and Food Reform League, the
Ladies' Vegetarian Society and the London
Schools Dinner Association. As can be inn
agined, these societies, agreeing upon the
central idea Of charity. disagree as to dietetics.
The society first named is for "bread or moth
ing" the second would eschew the product of
the bakery, while the members of the dinner
association hold to the theory of a mixed diet
and noon dinner. The first report Of the
educational food fund is just out showing that
the experimental dinner for school children

nished at a half penny each. In one section of
the room vegetable soup was served and in the
other sweet milk and wheat bread with butter
or jam dressing. The supply was abundant,

teachers favor the plan q means to better
