California Courts BIay Decide as to a Mar
riagc For Six Months.
An interesting yet extremely ridicu-
lous question has found its way into the
California courts. The problems to be
solved in all seriousness by the courts are
these: as a contract of marriage stipu-
lated to expire at the end of six months
or a year a valid document II thedocu-
ment be valid, is the limitation good?
Does the limitation i~nvalidate the con-
tTacti Can the relations of the contract
ing parties be legally laid aside at the
end Of the prescribed time? Would a
child born after the limit has expired,
and were the contract not renewed, be o
Legitimate childT' II seems impossible
that in this day such a question should be
seriously raised, but rs a matter Of fact
there has developed among the Califor-
mia lawyers some difference of opinion on
the subject.
Six months ago Edward M. Elkus and
Lille Mabney Of San Francisco entered
into a contract Ito be married for "a
period of six months" A few days ago
they again repaired to a notary's Office

up for another six months. The young
couple maintain that they have the aG-
vice of good lawyers that the contract is
good. The situation is such a novel one
that several reputable lawyers have per
suaded the young couple to permit the
question to be submitted TO a court of
adjudication. just how to get this be-
fore the court Is the question. II can
hardly be accomplished by divorce pro
ceedings. neither could it be accomplish
ed by criminal process. Lawyers, how
ever, declare that they will find a way OF
bringing the matter to judicial notice
in order that the ridiculous proposition
may be settled at once.
Some Of the best lawyers in the state
have taken an interest in the matter.
Many prominent citizens declare that II
is against public policy for such a ques-
ton to be dignifed by a doubt for any
length Of time. On the other hand, there
are a few lawyers who consent to main
tain the strict legality Of the terms OF
the limited contract.-Omaha World

One may say, THE requisites of sue
cess on the stage are youth, health, good
el%ocutionary talents and practiced skill,
good looks and dramatic instinct. " Then
it could be replied that if a person pos.
Bessed this combination he or she need
give himself or herself no further con-
Germ as to success. 1t is absolutely Sc
cure-as secure as an income from
$500, 900 of government bonds, and that
to a person just starting out on a stage
career and anxious to make a good liv-
ing out of it such preliminary condi-
tions are as remote as the big bank bal
ance to the new beginner in commercial
business.
1t is really the case that most Of the
conditions that qualify for stage sue
cess have to be worked for. This sort
of instruction may not be impaired by
professional teachers at 80 much a les
son, but it proceeds from teachers all
the same, whether voluntary or invol-
untary, since all human beings are con-
tinually not only receiving but giving
lessons. -Rose Coghlan.

Tea was not known in England till

the size of teapots, from the diminutive
productions of the Elers, in the time

was sold in apothecaries' shops, to the
capacious vessel which supplied DR..

teapot that belonged to DR.. johnson,
which held two quarts, but this sinks
into insignificance compared with the
superior magnitude of that in the pos
session of Mrs. Marrayat Of Wimbledon,
who purchased it at the sale of Mrs.
Piozzi's effects at Streatham. This tea
pot, which was the one originally used
by DR.. johnson, holds more than three
quarts. George " had a large assem-
blage of teapots, piled in pyramids in

A MODEL SAVAGE.


King Khama II an Autocrnt Of the nest
Possible Type.
King Khama is n model savage, IL a
black man who has been thoroughly
civilized by European and missionary
influences Gun still be called one. He
IL an autOcrat Of the best possible type,
whose influence in his country is en-
tirely thrown into the scale Of virtue
for the suppression Of vice. Such a
thing as theft Is unknown in his realm.
He will not allow his subjects to make
or drink beer. He has put a stop also
to the existence of witch doctors and
their wiles throughout all the Bamang-
wato.
He conducts in person services every
Sunday in his large, round kotla, OF
place Of assembly, standing beneath the
tree of justice and the wide canopy Of
heaven in a truly patriarchal style. He
is keen in the suppression of all super
stitions and eats publicly the flesh Of
| the duyker, a sort Of roebuck, which
was formerly the totem Of the tribe and
held as sacred among them 20 years
ago. The late King Sikkome, Khama's
father, would not so much as step on
a duyker skin, and il is still looked up
on with moro veneration by his sub
jects than Khama would wish.
AS an instance of Khama's power and
judgment, it is sufficient for us to quote
the sudden change of his capital from
Shoshong to the present site, Palapwe.
Shoshong was in a strong position,
where the Bamangwato could effectual-
ly protect themselves from the Mata-
beles' raids under Lobengula, but it was
badly supplied with water, and in dry
seasons tho inhabitants suffered greatly
from drought. The change of capital
had been a subject discussed for years,
but Khama waited quietly until people
began to think that he was against it
and would never move. He waited, in
fact, until he was sure of British pro-
lection, until he knew that Lobengula
could not attack his people at Palapwe
without embroiling himself in a war
with England.
Then suddenly one day, without any
PREDATORY warning, King Khama gave
orders for the move, and the exodus
began on tie next day, and in two
months time 10, 900 individuals were
located in their new capital, 60 miles
away from Shoshong. Under Khama's
direction, everything was conducted in
the best possible order. To every man
was given his allotted ground, and he
was told to build his huts thereon. Not
a single dispute arose, and no one would
imagine today that only a few years
ago Palapwe was uninhabited.
Khama, in manner and appearance,
is thoroughly a gentleman, digniied
and courteous. He wears well made
European clothes, a billycock hat and
gloves; in his hand he brandishes a
dainty cane, and he ~pervades every
thing in his country, riding about
from point to point wherever his pres
ence is required, and if he is just a lit
tie too much Of a dandy it is al error
in his peculiar case in the right direc'
ton. -Contemporary Review.

sen the discomfort and annoyance Of
travel on many lines on which there is
excessive vibration by the construction
of a pneumatic car (which embraces
the application of an elastic fluid as an
absorbent for vibration and oscilla-
ton" An air cushion is arranged on
the cellular principle between the car
body and the truck frame, and as there
is an equal distribution of air under
varying pressures all oscillation is pre-
vented. This elastic medium is said to
completely absorb all vibration result
ing from rough tracks, jointing of rails,

the car is carried smoothly and steadily
