There Is false idea afloat in the
stream Of life. which is that when peo-
pie love us we can be rude to them. that
because they know we love them they
will forgive every lack of courtesy.
Now. this is absolutely untrue: the
closer two people are united by the bond
OF love the more necessary is it for them
to observe every law of politeness. Love
isn't so very difficult to gain. but it is
very difficult to keep. You can afford
better to be rude to everybody else in
the world than to the people who love
you. Being good girl, you think that
You are not rude to anybody, but Just
remember how you treat Tom. You
take his love as matter of course. you
think he doesn't want you to consider
him first and best.
Love, my dear girl. is flower that
needs constant attention, and the very
minute it is neglected, left too long in
the glazing sun of Indifference, or in the
cold wind of selfishness, it dies. And
love is never resurrected. don't want
you to give Tom too much. Save some
thing for the husband--the kisses it will
be his right to claim, the encircling arms
that it viii be his pleasure to have.
But give Tom your words of affection.

unseliishness that goes TO make love,

A Pretty Canadian Girls skiIifni Work
In Making Illegal Money.
For nearly nine months the public has
been systematically defrauded by the
skillful connivance OF an adept at alter
ing bank notes. The man or woman
who conceived the idea and operated
the system must have had confederates
as the work was carried on somewhat
extensively.
The complaint first came from the
Dominion bank officials. One of their
experts found among the bills one day
two dollar note which was about three
eighths of an inch shorter than the
usual length. He examined the bill
more infinitely. and discovered that a
small piece was missing from a place
almost in the center Of the note. Think
ing that this might have been torn ont
accidentally, nothing was thought Of
the occurrence until a few days later
another bill of the same denomination
turned up, short in length to the same
extent as the first.
The piece missing from this bill, how
ever, 1t was noticed, was from another
portion Of the note. Suspicion was
aroused and a careful scrutiny of the
bill made, whereupon it was discovered
that the missing piece had been cut out.
But the work had been done so cleverly
and accurately that no person but an ex-
pert banker would notice the deficiency
The detective department was com.
municated with, and the short bills
which continued to como in were hand
ed over to them. 1t was several months
before they were able to understand
how the perpetrators Of the fraud could
be benefited At last they had nine OF
these short bills, and an analysis of the
different places where the cutting oper.
alton had been performed solved fol
them the problem.
There had been enough paper taken
from these nine bills to make, If properly
put together, Il tenth note almost as long
as the others, which would pass any,
where undetected. The detectives knew
that the work was going on. and an
officer was put on the case especially
some months ago. Several weeks ago he
suspected that the operator was WON
an, and close watch was kept over her.
Yesterday a warrant was sworn oui
accusing a pretty young woman named
Catharine Rhodes with altering and ut,

other Canadian banks. The cutting out
work was evidently done with a razor

and then came such race as had never
yet been seen. For hundred yards and
more the two ran locked together, side
by side, the runner almost flying over
the crisp turf, the horse stretched out in
a fierce gallop, with the rider standing
in the stirrups. And now the goal was
only fifty yards away, but the gazers
drew a deep breath as they saw that
now the horse was gaining-was draw
ing out in front.
For an instant it seemed that all was
over. the next, to their amazement, they
were conscious that the horse was fail
ing. Then they saw a gallant sight;
they saw the runner nerve himself to the
last effort and, close upon the goal, dash
past the horse and pass the judges and
fall headlong on the turf.
At that scene, in spite of discipline, a
frantic cheer broke forth along the line.
Even Feversham himself smiled grimly
as one who, though he had just lost a
bet, had gained its full equivalent in
pleasurable excitement.
The winner, who had fallen painting
and exhausted, was raised into sitting
posture by two troopers, one of whom
poured draft of brandy down his
throat. The spirits almost instantly re-
vived him, and in a few seconds he was
able, though still weak and dizzy, to
stand upon his feet and look about him
A few PAGES off his beaten rival stood
beside his horse. Dare looked at him
and their eyes met. Quixarvyn's face
bore an almost imperceptible smile: but
it was not this, but something in his
look which the other could not have

or two, bewildered by the light which
| broke upon his mind. Then he stepped
up to his rivals side, and the guards,
who saw no cause to interfere. falling
back little, he put his mouth close to
Quixarvyn's ear:
"You pulled that horsel" he said.

without bitter cost.

AS he spoke he turned away and strobe
swiftly to his old position at the head of
the line of prisoners, before which the
firing party was again drawn up.
Dare turned his back upon the scene

ertheless he could still hear with hor-
rible distinctness the sergeant's loud,
clear voice, with an interval between
the words:
"Readyr"

Almost as the word was given came
the crash of the report. Moved by an
impulse which he could not conquer, he
turned around with a shudder. The
soldiers were lowering their smoking
muskets, and d thick white cloud hung
above the line of prisoners stretched
upon the ground. At the extremity of
the line Quixarvyn lay upon his face,

the defendant had failed to guard prop
srly. Upon the trial she recovered a |
verdictsof $500, which was affirmed by |
the general term Of the supreme court in |
this city. The case was taken to the
court of appeals and was there argued
before the second division Of that tri-
bunal. The only error upon which the
appellant asked for a reversal of the
judgment was the instruction of the trial
judge to the jury that in estimating the
damages sustained by Mrs. Blaechinska
they might take into consideration the
loss of wages which she had sustained
by reason of her inability to work in
consequence of the accident.
At the time she was injured she was
living with her husband, who was a
custom tailor, and was working for him
as seamstress at salary of five and
six dollars week. The general term
held that this money which the plaintiff
received from her husband for services
outside of her household duties was her
own property, and that ''the loss Of the
salary could be given In evidence as an
1
element of damage, the same as if she
had been working for stranger" TIE
appellant insisted that this view OF the
law as II now EXISTS IN the state OF New
YORK was erroneous
Inc opinion OF tie court OF appeals is
written by Judge Irving G. Vann, of
Syracuse, and is concurred in by all the
members of the second division. He re-
views the legislation in this state re-
moving the disabilities OF married wom-
en-, which began with the enabling act
OF 1850, giving a wife separate estate
IN whatever she may acquire by her
trade, business, labor, or services car
ried on or performed on her sole and
separate account, and extending down
to the act OF 1887, which authorizes a
married woman to convey lands directly
to her husband and accept conveyances
of land directly from him.

held, notwithstanding the various
changes effected by the successive stat
utes relating to married women, that a
husband still has the right to the serv-
ices of his wife so far as household work

cannot recover any wages for such labor,
although she holds her husbands writ

works for third person. the rule is diff

earnings in that event would be her own.
Finding the law to be well settled by
adjudication to the effect we have stat
ed, Judge Vann inquiries, inasmuch as

pay his wife for extraordinary services
rendered in his household or for work
ing on his farm, how can he make a
valid contract to pay her for helping

MADE YOUNG AoAIN-RELEAsED FROM
 THE CLUTCHES OF MALARIA.
 While visiting the south last winter l called on an uncle in New Orleans. He mentioned the fact that Pe-ru-na had been of great benefit to him in case of chronic malaria, and subsequently, I have heard a great many speak of it's merits. One of the most striking instances is the case of an aunt who lives in Mississippi. Five years ago l visited her, and @ more completely wretched woman I never saw. Her face was thin and sallow, of that peculiar yell low which chronic malaria alone can bring, eyes sunken and lacklustre, form wtthered and bent, as with extreme age, and the vivacious wit for " which, as a girl, she had been famous in the little village where she resided, had been replaced by almost unceasing scoiding. And how mis- erable she looked. She was so nervous and irritable that it was relief to be out of her hearing, yet one could not help feeling unutterably sorry for her. She tried to help with the house work, as she did not consider herself ill enough to keep her bed, but she rarely did anything but binder. My stay was cut short, as did not wish to Impose my presence upon the wearied household. But last winter 1 saw her again, and what marvellous change had taken place! Her pink and white dimpled face, her rounded figure, elastic tread and sparkling repartee-hoW different she was from the prematurely old woman as I had seen her five years ago. Truly Pe-ru-na stands at the head of all malaria remedies. There are many-an almost incredible number-in the south who testify to the virtue of Fortuna, not only by words, but the expression of exuberant happiness in their faces and the energy and grace of every movement.
