Grounds for Divorce in italy.

We subjoin few of the reasons given
for claiming legal separation on the
part of married couples in Italy. One
man called his wifes sister thief A
husband had beaten his wife's pet dog.
Another constantly chewed tobacco. A
third cut off his wifes curls without her
consent. A fourth refused to take his
better-half out for walk. A fifth COM
peeled his wife to situp talking with him
after midnight, when she would have
preferred going to sleep. One lady re-
fused to sew on her husbands trousers
buttons. Another lady stayed in bed
till noon every day. A third would not
let her husband go near the fire on a
cold winters day. A fourth lady"
dragged her husband out of bed by his
beard. A fifth went strolling round the
town instead of attending to her do,
nestle duties.-Italian Paper

CHAPTER XXI.

The face at the window was not pleas
ant one. FIngal had seen and recognized it
as that of the strange man, Don Benito.
Ono instant only it remained at the window,
then disappeared in the crowd.
Captain Starbright stood staring like one
bereft of sense.
"He is gone"
"Gone," answered Fingal "who was
ur'
"How should knows"
eff you do not, your actions belle your
words" declared FinGal, grimly. ITO me
he seemed like a mailman"
"He is madam escaped lunatic,"
breathed the Captain, gladly catching at
q loophole of escape. HE ought to be
secured at once.'
"You will offer a reward for his capt
ure-.''
Captain Starbright, however, now that he
was out from under the magnetism of
Louis Fingars presence, fastened to
separate himself from that individual, in
wardly vowing, however, to learn more of
the hunter in the future, and if need be to
crush him.
Before Fingal could finish his sentence
the Captain had passed swiftly from the
room, and was around the corner like O
fash.
"You can't escape me that way, you vii
lain," muttered the youth, who seemed
deeply interested in the movements Of
Captain Starbright
Quickly Fingal passed out to watch the
movements of the Captain. He glanced
keerly up and down the cross street down
which Starbright had turned, but that in
dividual was nowhere to be seen.
"Confound it'll" muttered the young
hunter, "he seems to have given me tho slip.

put your finger on him he isn't there. l

fluence of the drug, but it seems that the
cigar was not as heavily charged as
imagined. was foolish to permit him to
escape should, in justice to all con-
cerned, have placed him under arrest.
And yet such o move might block the
game entirely, and prevent the ends Of
justice.
"No, I must permit the Captain full swing
for q little longer. The face OF Don Benito
has startled the Captain, and that certainly
means something. I might be able to guess
the truth had the queer old fellow COM
pleted the story he was once telling. He
seemed sane enough then; he is at times,
and but for an interruption should have
known all However, danger menaces Don
Benito and must avert it IL possible"
In the meantime the Captain turned
down the nearest alley, crossed a block, and
| thence passed down a narrow street to the
stable where he had sheltered his horses.
He seemed to think that it would be time
lost in searching for Don Benito in the city,
since he ordered his animals at once and
was soon riding swiftly out of the city.
He was not long in crossing the ten mile
stretch to Lone Hollow. He passed into
the house, to his own room, without disturb
| ing the inmates, seeming regardless Of the
! fact that Mrs Penroy had once ordered him
to depart from Lone Hollow and never to
return. AS he paced the floor he muttered /:

Yale.s Curious Custom.

Although Harvard antedates Yale, the
latter university has customs which
SAVIOR much more of antiquity. In the
chapel, on either side of the middle
aisle, sit the dignified seniors, while in
other parts are the lower classes. Away
up in his high pulpit sits ''Prexy," which
is the cognomen that the honorable
president goes by. After the service is
over a most ancient and curious custom
takes place, which is both interesting
and amusing to the visitor. AS the
president leaves the chapel he passes
down the middle aisle, between the
lines of standing seniors, who all bow
very low at his passage, some bending
nearly to the ground. To the spectator
it looks rather funnY.-Golden DAYS.

faced. burly sort OF q man known az
linn Robertson, who lives with his
family not o great distance from the
stock wards. He Is heavy drinker
and the more beer he drank the more
reckless he played and the deeper he
got TO the hole. At the loss of ev.
ery pot he swore and cursed his
luck and the good luck of others.
The clock struck 10 when q thin
faced sboy of ten or twelve years
approach the table, and stepped up
to Robertson said:
"Pa, ma wants you"
"All right; I'll be there soon" was
the gruff answer, and with that the
boy left and the game went on, the
players hardly noticing the inter-
ruption.
Quick and often went the drinks
| and livelier than ever went the chips.
An hour later two of the players were
in the hole to the extent OF IS to So
each, while Jim was In deeper than
any of them. The winners were quite
merry over their luck and rushed the
jack pots with considerable vigor.
Then as tho hands of the clock were
edging towards the midnight hour
one of the players said:
Let's play ten fifty-cent jack-pots
and quit"
"That's me-" said Jim; II think
can win out If you do"
"It's CO." echoed the other.
Two red chips each, so cents, $3.50
in the pots, and only SO cents, to
draw. What q temptation to the
loser seeking to get even.
And the loser was in every pot
before the draw, after the draw, in
everything save in raking down the
chips-that pleasure was lett to the
winner only.
Five minutes to II o'clock, and now
comes the last pot.
"Let's make this ST. each"

It'sa 60 with hurrah.
And Jim opens the pot.
He is raised.
Perhaps it's only . blind to keep
the others out. II so, it doesn't work,
as the pot is too big, and the others
drop In with So each. Then Jim
scans his hand like true sport, looks
at his chips, and, seeing that he has
only two reds and few whites left
goes into his pocket ard brings out a

had brought in early in the evening,
