THE VALUE OF WIVES.
A virginia Court Rules That They Havi
Worth According to Their Traits.

A virginia Court Rules That They Have
Worth According to Their Traits.
A recent opinion rendered by the
Virginia Court of Appeals shows that
the law recognizes a graded valuation
of wives. The complainant had sued
for damages for the loss of his wife,
who had been accidentally killed
through the negligence Of the defend
ant. On the trial, evidence tending to
show that the deceased had been a
superior wife was offered, and, presum-
ably influenced by this, the jury gave
the complainant verdict for $4,000.
The defendant objected to proof as to
the character of the wife, and carried
the issue to the highest court OF the
State. That tribunal holds that such
evidence was perfectly proper as a
means of estimating the damage suf-
fered by the husband IF the charac-
ter and conduct of the wife," says the
court, ''be such that her death will
cause but little sorrow. suffering and
mental anguish to the husband, then
the fair and just proportion Of the
damages to be awarded by the jury will
be measured accordingly" but II, on
the contrary" the court adds, the wife
be loving. tender and dutiful to her
husband; thrifty, industrious, econom-
ical and prudent-as the evidence in
this case proved Mrs. Mcconnell to be-
then her price is far above rubies,' and
the loss of such vide, of such help
meet, of such Influence, of such
blessed and potent ministry and com
panionship, is proper element of dam
ages to be considered by the jury in
fixing the solatium to be awarded to the
husband for tearing her from his heart

A ROMANTIC STORY.


Punch four-Nose.
Count Punonorostro, a prominent
Spanish nobleman, has just died in
Madrid. The story OF his title is told
in the Nouvelle Revue Internationale;
Charles v was great hunter Ono
day wh .ie Notwithstanding he was ac-
eompaniod by gamekeeper. who joined
/ in the sport. The servants of his
Majesty we're loaded with game, when
partridge rose under the feet of the
two sportsmen. Two shots went off
simultaneously. The partridge dropped.
"Who killed that bird?" said the King
to the gamekeeper.
Il did" was the reply.
"You lie, you scoundrelp said the
King. in a rage.
Thereupon the guard unceremonious-
ly slogged his Majesty. The first nave
ment of Charles was to try to kill him,
but fortunately his gun was unloaded.
Then his second and more successful eff
fort was to save the man from the fury
OF his attendants and to send him of to
prison. with the recommendation to pre-
pare for death, remarking also that his
offense was all the more atrocious be-
cause he could not say that he really
did not lie, inasmuch as it was doubtful
who shot the bird.
II have no doubt about it, SIRE" re-
piled the prisoner. Permit me to ex-
anime the bird "
The King ordered the partridge to be
brought to him, and, after having ex-
amined it, the guard affirmed that it
was he who shot 1t, because II was hit
by bullet. and he had used bullets all
day long, while the King used shot. A
further examination OF the dead par
fridge by the King and his attendants
proved that tho gameKeeper was cor
rect.
The King was sorry, but he neverthe-
less sent the prisoner to Madrid. where
he was placed in the cell of offenders
condemned to death. At the last mo-
ment the King promised him pardon, If
he would repent, but the guard refused.
Charles ordered the gamekeeper to be
brought into his presence and again
asked him If he repeEted.
Sire" replied the guard, ''if had

HANGING TO A BRANCH.
erightfuI Adventures of Alabama
Farmer in the Mountains.


According to the ST. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat, an Alabama farmer, named Brill,
recently had frightful adventure while
deer-hunting in the mountains. He had
been tramping for many hours, and was
very thirsty, when he noticed a small
spring gushing out az the foot of cliff.
! He began at once to make his way down
the steep descent, but was soon brought
TO standstill on the edge of perpen-
dicular wall.
A tree was growing near the base OF
the cliff, and one of its branches came
within reach of the hunters hand. lie
let down his gun by means of a string,
and then swung himself of the cliff by
the branch.
As the limb bent under his weight. It
rustled against the cliff, and an instant
before Brill was ready to let go he heard
the rattle of a rattlesnake. The crea-
ture was directly at his feet, coiled and
ready TO strike In the next breath, boz
fore the man had time tothink, a second
and larger snake crawled out from the
base OF the cliff, coiled itself, and sprung
its horrible rattle.
Brill chung to the branch with
drowning mans grip, but his hair was
standing on end, and his eyes felt as If
they were starting from their sockets.
A moment more and a third rattle
sounded, and then another and another,
as snake after snake crawled out Of
creyices in the rock and coiled them
selves in the sun.
Brill could not drop into this nest of
snakes, but alas! by this time his
strength was SO far exhausted that IL
was impossible for him TO draw himself
up to the topof the cliff. He could only
hang upon the limb till the last moment,
and then let go.
His arms grew numb; his head began
10 feel as il it were filed with lead
Another minute and be must release his
hold; but he made no outcry, and in
few moments he saw the snakes uncoil-
ing one by one, and slowly crawling
away. This gave him new strength.
and he held on till the last one was out

On the fourth day she came to the studio
