A Fresno correspondent Of the 5. +.
Examiner writes as follows: "You
stated on March s, that an Ohio wo-
nan sought a divorce because her hus-
band objected to building the morning
fire. The Judge refused TO grant it."
Allow me to say that the woman is
correct and the Judge should study
his Bible. We read in jeremiah vii.
Is, the following words: The children
gather wood and the fathers kindle the
fire and the women knead the dough
to make cakes
As there is no need to prepare the
cakes until the oven is hot, it is plainly
seen that the wife can take another
nap after her husband starts for the
woodshed, and in the colder States,
where the thermometer points twenty
below zero, every woman glories in the
beautiful teaching of scripture, which
SO clearly defines the duty of hus-
bands" AS the wives of the West do
not obey their husbands In any partic-
ular, that does not apply to the wild
and woody.

Ever since Corbett and Sandow the
Strong had their alteration in Central
Park over their respective merits re-
newed efforts have been made to have
a test between the two in the ring.
Sandow is still credited with saying
that he could parry Corbett's blows so
as to wind him or disable his arms.
while Jim declares that he could knock
out the Hercules in one punch. One
Of the Eastern writers says: "There
would appear to be several questions
OF capacity and veracity between these
two. But hat Of whether abnormal
strength can cope with pugilistic sci
ence is the most interesting, and is
something that thousands OF people
would willingly pay a large admission
fee to See settled. Sandow says: Il

ness to make money The weekly
stipend he receives now may look like
big money to eyes more accustomedt TO
German pennies than United States
dollars, but il the moderr. Samson can

{ stand eff the champion a round OIL
so in Madison Square Garden he a
gather as many gold pieces in one night
as he ever owned in copper pennies.
Sandow will never have a like oppor-
tunity again."

His Month GroMing Tin.

A very singular case is that of a
young man Of this county named Chan
dler. For years his mouth has shown
a tendency to grow up. Four years
ago it became SO small it was feared
he would starve, and a fund vas raised
by neighbors, and he was sent to Chi
cago, where the mouth was cut to the
natural size and pieces OF flesh grated
into the corners, thus hoping to pre-
vent the closing. This has been over
come, and his mouth is rapidly grow
ing up again, the opening at present
not being larger than an ordinary
goose quill, through which he takes
all his nourishment. 1t is thought
that he must naturally starve to death,
as there seems no way OF preventing
the complete closing of the mouth.
Otherwise the young man seem heal
thy and is capable OF doing consider
able work.-Black River Falls (Wis.)

Abandoned Mining Towns.

The Virginia Enterprise says that
Columbus District, in Esmeralda
county, which a few years ago had a
population Of 1900 has now only %
inhabitants. At Candelaria are stores
and dwellings, the latter fairly fur
nished, but tenantless, the owners
having abandoned them rather than
pay taxes on the property. The de-
sertion Of these two formerly prosper
GUS mining districts is not due TO an
exhaustion Of their bullion producing
resources, but solely to the depression
in the price OF silver.

The Easter Concert.

The Faster concert on Sunday eve
ming last, at st. James Episcopal
Church, was OF a very interesting char
acter. The interior OF the church was
adorned with appropriate sacred ban
ners, and inside the chancel rail, in
front OF the altar, was a cross surroun-
ded by a beautiful assortment Of natu-
raj flowers. The church was crowded
to its utmost capacity, many who ar
rived before the commencement Of the
exercises being unable to gain admis-
sion. The occasion was devoted espe-
cially to the children and was very
successful. Prof. ]. Jones, Jr., acted
as superintendent in the absence Of the
regular superintendent, John Pardy,
and managed the affair admirably.
Those taking part in the exercises,
without a single exception, rendered
their pieces excellently, and the only
regret expressed was that the pro.
gramme was not longer. The little
church was packed as, we think, it
never was before, and not only was
there not standing room, but in fact
hardly breathing Dom The order
maintained by the large audience dur.
ing the rendition Of the programme
(outside Of the usual complement Of
incorrigible "small" boys) vas very
good. No admission was charged, but
q collection was taken up, which we
think was literally contributed to.
The exercises lasted about two hours
and q half, when the audience dis
persed highly pleased with the Easter
evenings entertainment.

Edison. L.,e., Cop,r,yapee.

Thomas A. Edison's latest wonder,
the kaleidoscope, is now being perfected
in his workshop at Menlo Park, N. j.,
and the chances are that this inven.
ton, while not the most important Of
his many devices, will be n of the
most interesting. The k~inetoscope is
a continuance for reproducing the mo-
tons Of objects by photography. In
the top of the kaleidoscope, which is a
polished box, similar TO the phono-
graph, is a hole about two inches long
and half an inch broad, covered with
glass. The interior OF the box is lighted
with electricity, and shows a picture
about two inches broad and one inch
high. The microscope which is in Mr..
Edison's workshop contains a picture
Of a barber-shop. Looking into it one
see the barber and three men waiting
TO be shaved. One of the men rises
and walks across the picture to the
chair, sits down and the barber goes
through all the customary operations
OF shaving a man.. Every motion Of
the barber, from the stropping Of the
razor to the brushing of the mans
hair, is reproduced, and the actiens of
the men who are waiting to be shaved
are also reproduced. Mr.. Edison has
been experimenting on this continuance
for a long time, and when he has it
perfected it will be possible by means
Of this machine not only to take a
mans picture. but his action and every
movement, no matter what he may be
doing at the time the picture is taken.
