Braintree, of the State Board OF Agricul-

morning to decide what measures should
be taken to prevent diseased cattle being

to the regulations governing the quaran-
tine about to be established, and that
matter will be brought before a meeting

Wednesday. The board is now at the SER
vice OF the farmers Of the state and will
proceed to test the different herds as rap

domestic infelicity" has been troub |
ling two families lately to such an extent |
that the wives entered complaints OF in |
tolerable severity against their respective |
husbands, who had such exalted ideas 1
of their might, majesty, power and do |
minion that one OF them attempted to en-
force his authority with the toe OF his |
boot and the other simply pitched his |
better half out OF doors. Women, like
adders, can sting with their tongues, and
il the "soft answer" had been more sedu-
lousy employed, possibly the family jars
might not have developed into small-sized
earthquakes. Man is, OF course, the SUI
perior animal-that is TO say he can kick
harder and pitch farther-still in a wordy
battle he is at a sad disadvantage and nat
urally feels like asserting his superiority
by the exercise OF little strength; so he
throws his companion out OF doors like
bundle OF rags or plays football with her
around the Kitchen. The two women, at.
Ter airing their grievances, were persuad-
ID TO return to their husbands and try
once more to prove to themselves that
marriage is not failure.
