Is He Resnonsible :?

Following the dispute Of Mrs. Cooper
Hewitt and her milliner comes the story
Of a frantic discussion in Paris as to
whether a man is responsible for the
bills his wife may run up at her dress
makers. 1t has always been supposed
that in such a case as this the unfortu-
nate husband would have to open his
pocketbook wide and pay the amount,
even though his heart strings tugged.
But the Paris courts have said 10 to
this, and there is a wild stir III cOnse-
quence throughout the entire world of
bodice, skirt and coat designers.
The story is a simple one. a certain
Partisan manufacturer had spouse
who, while exemplary in every other
respect, had for two years been running
up dressmaker's bill and paying moth
ing on account. The bill finally assumed
the amazing proportions of 5000. The
husband meanwhile was IN complete ig
norance of her extravaganza, and his
first intimation of it was upon presenta-
ton of the bill. Assuming the mastery
of his household. and bidding defiance to
the world at large, he contested the
claim, with the result that the court OF
appeal cut down the bill to $1,000, and
decided that that was all that he should
pay. The arguments of the French judi
ciary were that the husband was not
bound if his v-ife's expenditure was out
of proportion to the circle in which they
both lived The crucial point in the case
was that during these two years the
dressmaker had made neither inquiry Of
nor referred to him.-New York Ex-

For One Man Showed Tact and as Re-
ward Became a Prince.
One of the grandest houses of the Aus,
trian nobility is indebted for its princely
dignity to a piece of courtier-like loyalty
performed by one of it's members during
the reign of Empress Maria Theresa. The
august lady during the midst of some
function had had the misfortune to hic,
cough in a peculiarly loud and aggressive
manner, not altogether in keeping with
the laws of polite society, but which in
Japan or Oriental countries. would, of
course, have been regarded as a piece Of
lofty breeding. Perceiving that her mai
esty showed traces of embarrassment-fo
even expresses are human-a young Aus,
trian nobleman stepped forward, and, with
a most clever assumption of intense morti>
fication and humility, craved her males,
tvs pardon for his gross breach of man
ners The Empress received his apollo
gies. not only graciously, but also crate,
fully and from that time forth the young
mans fortune was made, and before the
Empress died he had been promoted, not
only to the rank of count, but also to that
of prince, beside being generously endowed
by his imperial benefactress with means
to SupDOrt his titles.

For SunstrOke.

Dr. J. F. Whitmyer gives the following
easonabe advice in the New York World:
There is always danger of sunstroke dur
ing hot and "muggy" days; predisposing
causes of sunstroke are loss of sleep, ex-
element abuse of stimulants and poorly
ventilated sleeping rooms. People who are
exposed to the sun are always liable to an
attack. although persons who work in
such places as laundrieS and other eStab-
lishments where artificial heat is used are
sometimes overcome. When exposed to
the sun a light hat eight both in weight
and COLOR should be worm black absorbs
the heat. A wet cloth, sponge or green
safeguard. Great care should be taken
between the hours of II M. and 3 D. NJ,
as the danger of sunstroke is always
greatest during those hours. Upon the
approach of feeling of exhaustion, faint
ness, fatigue and headache, lie down at
once in cool, shady place and apply
cloths wrung out Of cold water to the
head and neck. A person who is over
come by the heat should be removed at
once to a shady place and the shirt
straps and Wristbands be loosened Cool
drinks of water should be given and a
doctor sent for at once. If the person
is very faint, he or she should be laid
upon the back and given Il teaspoonful
of aromatic spirits of ammonia in little
cold water. Do not apply cold water to
the body. but rub the hands and feet until
the circulation has been restored. When
the skin is dry and hot the person should
be placed against a wall or other sup

SiInDliCity,

A story at the expense of the Appalachi-
an Mountain club of Boston is related in
Happy Thought. An excursion party from
the club, it appears, had gone to rural
part of the state, and in default of suffi-
Gent hotel accommodations some of the
members were obliged to seek quarters in
a farmhouse.
Simplicity was the order Of the day.
Everything was scrupuously clean, but
there was a natural absence of some of
the Injuries of high-priced city hotels.
Some of the ladies of the party discovered
that there were no keys in the locks of
their rooms and waited upon the farmers

That good woman was surprised.

lock our doors here and there's no one
here but you But then l suppose you
know your own party best"
The visitors did not insist upon the keys.
