not know of the husbands at
tempted gift, the brief argues that
the wifes knowledge is not the act which
the statute declares essential to the valid
ity of the husbands gift. Not only must
she know, but she must consent; not only
must she consent, but her consent must be
evidenced by a writing.
The brief contends, finally, that the
plaintiffs are entitled to have the defend
ant restrained, pending the action, from
transferring the stock.
"Upon the argument already made we
are entitled toshave the stock transferred
to us. Should the defendant, in the mean
time, make over the stock to innocent third
parties, it would have very great ten
dency to render any Judgment that might
be obtained here Intellectual.
"In that event, of course, we could not
get our stock from the defendant. The
Judgment would not be binding upon his
assignors, they not being parties to the
action. Should we bring against them the
same action which we have brought
against the defendant here they too, I'M
less restrained in limine, would have it in
their power to transfer the stock to other
elude our grasp. The only way to insure
the efficacy of our judgment here is to
grant and now maintain the Injunction.
SECONDLY, we are entitled to an in Juno
ton against the defendants reception of
the dividends.
.If we are entitlen to the stock we are
entitled to its proceeds. The one goes
with the other. Equity will not administer
relief piecemeal 1t will compel the de-
PENDANT to account for the dividends
already received, and if, as is admitted by
the pleadings, he is not the owner of the
stock, but wrongfuliy in possession thereof,
there is no reason why, pending the litiga-
ton, he should be allowed to receive divi-
dends which belonged not to him, but
to u.s."
The value of the stock is 5000, 900. Ru-

AN EMERGENCY DRAWER.
Useful ThlsS That should Have a Place
in Every Household.


Every househould should have
fxed place devoted to simple remedies
for the trivial accidents which often
become such serious affairs through
neglect. Burns, scalds, cuts and bruises
ire of nearly daily occurrence. and
their frequency as we'll as painfulness
demands a little forethought toward
their alienation
The emergency drawer is designed to
fill this need. It should be stout and
steady, with no tendency to stick fast
when least expected, and we'll out of
reach of little prying fingers. 1t
should also be located somewhere in
the kitchen, as oftentimes wound is
neglected rather than run upstairs for
assistance.
The remedy always on hand should
be carron oil equal parts of lime water
and linseed oi1), common baking soda,
arnica, a salve, anti-septic gauze, to-
gether with absorbent cotton, old linen,
cheesecloth bandages and pair of
scissors. Carron oil is a sovereign rem
edy for burns and scalds, and should
always be on hand; baking soda is an
other very good remedy, and in burns
from hot lard will often give relief
much sooner than the oil It is used
either dry or made into strong solu-
ton with water.
Anti-septic gauze is useful in case of
cuts. After washing thoroughly to re-
move any foreign substance, draw the
edges firmly together and cover neatly
with the gauZe.s Salve is for slight
burns, ETC., and serves merely to ex-
clude the air from the tender surface.
Aborbent cotton can be used for
burns and scalds serious enough to
need bandaging, and should be kept in
place by cheesecloth bandages. These
can DE purchased by the roll, but are
easily made. A couple of yards Of
cheesecloth are torn into two-inch
lengthwise strips, and rolled up.
When needed, cut off the desired length
and slit one end up to within about six
inches of the other end. This is the
physicians method of bandaging, and
not only has the advantage of not slip
ping readily, but does away with the
unsightly cords most women tie over a
bandage.
Other simple remedies may also GO
in the drawer. Paregoric and pepper
mint for stomachache, neverending
complaint among the smaller fry.
Jamaica ginger for cramps, hartshorn
liniment for sprains, etc. 1t can be
duplicated with good effect in the
nursery, and may have added Group
medicine from a reliable DOCTOR fan
mel bands, a hot water bottle, small
syringe and CASTLE soap, good sweet
oil for physic, bottle of soda mint and
small collection of the teas which
old-fashioned nurses cling to. The
small expenditure of time and money
necessary to equip these emergency
drawers will be repaid hundred-fold
in many cases where time is valua Bile
factor in cures.-Detroit Free Press.

An Obedient Boy.

A friend of mine has little boy
called Robbie, and Robbie is not at all
an angel child. He is, in fact, the ter
ror of the neighborhood. Not long ago
his father bought him bicycle and
Robbie was more an object of dread to
the neighbors than ever. One day he
was detected in some particularly out
rageous act, and his father, to punish
him, forbade him to ride the bicycle
for whole week. Robbie promised,
but as his father neared the home
next day he saw his son whirling along
on the wheel.
Robbie said he, more in sorrow
than in anger. didn't l tell you you
were not to ride your wheel for a

She May be inexperienced, But She Can

The session of the Legislature in every
state brings to the capital retinue OF
applicants for every position. This
year there has been an unusually large
number of people out of work. In one
of the western drought-stricken states,
where the number of employees for the
sixty days session had been limited by
law to two hundred. there were no less
than two thousand five hundred needy
applicants.

The Storage is Something Tremendous

To watch the loading of grain, either

Of the worlds commerce. 1T Is carried
/ in long pipes, with a funnel-shaped
movable appendage at the end, which

part of the hold to anothen, according
| as the stream of grain fills up the
spaces reserved for it. The grain flows
Into the vessel with the. noise and
velocity of a torrent, and sends a
dense volume of dust and chaff up
ward, oEOscuring the depths beneath
and making the men attending the
stowage below look like ghosts in the
rising mist.
| The trimming of the grain in the
holds is an important part of its stow
age. After several thousand bushels
| have streamed into the hold, a dozen
or more men are delegated to- shovel
the downpouring column in between
the vessels beams, job for which they
are paid at the rate of one cent min
ute. In vessels of the Cunard stripe it
takes between II, 900 and 10, 00G. bushels
to fill hold, and these vessels average
| SO. 600 bushels in the total cargo. Ships
CARRYING grain alone can take as high
as 1s5, 900 bushels, and when it is con-
sidered that from 1000 to 1000 bushels
can be stored in an hour, every forty
bushels weighing ton, an idea can be
Ehad of the force of the torrent directed
sinto the vessel
Large vessels have foar or FIVE holds,
land a distinction is made in storing the
lcargo in them. Grain, from its com
