IN THE COURTS.

Judge Sharpe has overruled the demur-
 rers to the complaint in the cause of Re-
 becca A. Denny vs. Robert Middle
 ton ct al.
 This suit was filed some time ago by Mrs.
 Denny, who seeks to recover a dowry in-
 terest in certain South Highlands property.
 The defendants are Robert Middleton {,
 administrator, etc., s. B. Garrett, Mary
 L. Crowder, Mortie J. Gillespie and Mary
 0. Stiles.
 The property involved is a portion of a
 forty-acre tract of land on the South High
 lands. Several years ago the Elyton Land
 company purchased from Joab Bagley
 forty acres of land. Bagley signed the
 deed, but his wife, it is alleged. did not.
 After his death Mrs. Bagiey married MT.
 Denny.
 Last year sometime Mrs. Denny brought
 suit against the Elyton Land company for
 dowry interest in said forty acres, except
 the lots belonging 60 the defendants named
 in the last suit filed, end won her suit ia
 the city court. An appeal was taken to
 the supreme court and 1t is now pending
 there.
 The last suit, filed a few weeks ago, seeks
 to recover the dowry interest in the loIs be- longing to the defendants named, which
 were excepted from the bill filed against the Elyton Land company.
 The defendants demurred to the con- plaint on the ground that they should have been made parties defendant to the first
 suit, and as they were not action cannot
 now lie against them. About two weeks ago the case was sub- mitted 10 Judge Sharpe for decree on de- murrer, and bis decision handed down yes- terday morning overrules the demurrer and allows the defendants twenty days in which to make their answer. The forty acres in question is the same to which the deed, so long lost, was found a n .p made in the AGE-HERALD at the time. First division-Mrs. Elizabeth Bogwell vs. J. 5.

its best from the rear.
 A woman who knows how to pose most admirably wore at one of the weeks receptions dark green velvet robe, whose lines were simple and stately enough for queen. Elm broidered lisse filled in the low bodice to the waist in front and behind, re- lieving what might otherwise have been the severity of the costume. A draped sash of the same material hung to the floor. The sleeves were like green clover leaves parted in threes. With her head slightly tilted to show clear-cut profile s.e let us look at her back oftener than her face, and she was right, though she was a pretty woman.
 A novel skating dress is gray vel vet redingote, with gray cloth skirt turned back in wide, plain revers. The bodice has wide cloth belt edged with gray fox fur and wide epaplettes, fur edged also.
 Is it because of "Mme. Sans-Gene" that the Napoleon gown is suddenly in such high favor9
 Neither cause is it, nor effect; but only one part Of worldwide move ment at which we may only wonder, not fathom. Nor are there historic gowns in any period more beautiful than the stately robes of Queen Caro- line and the princess of Lucca and Piombino, with their remarkable trains falling from the very shoulderblades, and their rich embroidery, and the white satin ball dress of the jolly wash erwoman-duchess herself. They are charming, I repeat, and the dress makers study them with their eyes and wish for chalk and tape for further in- quiry. Tea gowns and ball gowns and dinner gowns in empire modes we may have-but there stop. The street Is not for such.

but rather chilly for firtations by dun bram tree-boles and over dark, swollen brooks dividing sullen snowbanks. Among the many remarkable things for which 1894 will be remembered is the fact thatitreally brought to womankind the long-threatened double garment of the sex self-styled superior. I do not believe the mode will decrease in favor, rather will the knickers wane in size to proportions more human. I suspect their voluminous proportions have made them, in some instances, more burden some than moderate skirts.

The Winter Layers.

The early Matched pullets and the
hens that have moulted early should
now begin to lay. All pullets over
twenty weeks old are old enough to-
lay. We have known them to lay at
fifteen weeks, and we have report Of
Minorca pullets laying at twelve weeks
old. To induce laying, the hens should
have plenty of range and variety of
food, never forgetting an abundance Of
green bones and meat scraps. Feed
in the morning mixture of corn meal
bran and fiaXseed meal in equal parts
mixed with hot water. Do not feed
sufficient to satisfy the appetites of the
hens. but only sufficient to partially
fill their crops. Then let them range
about. Later in the day. feed q mix
ture of wheat and oats and corn, and
let them 60 to roost satisfied. Twice
or three times week feed cut bones
and meat scraps. and always have with
in their reach lime scraps, oyster shells
and gravel, with blenty of fresh water.
After the grass has been killed by the
frost, feed cabbages, turnips g. d Irish
potatoes every day. and mess of
scalded clover chaffed once or twice a
week. See that the hen-house is
thoroughly repaired, and all leaks and
drafts stopped. Lime wash thorough
ly, and scatter air-slacked lime over the
floor and roosts. Hens fed and treated
this way can be kept for from so to IS
cents per year each, and should lay
from $50 160 eggs eggs each per year,
and large proportion of these in the
winter and spring.

Iron in Food.

Prof. Bung, in the course of pa
per on iron as medicine, read before
the German Congress of Internal Medi-
cine, has been ventilating some ideas
which are as much matter of general
science land therefore extremely i'm
portant) as they are details connected
with the physicians domain. He is
strong on the point that iron should
reach our blood through the medium
of our food, rather than through the
druggists speciaIties. Iron, as every
body knows, is food element absolu-
tely essential for the proper constitu-
tion of the body, 1t Is as rigidly de-.
manded by the plant as by the animal;
and it is from plants that Prof. Bunge
shows We should chiefly receive our
iron supply. Spinach, he tell. us, is
richer in iron than the yolk of eggs !;
while the yolk contains more iron than
beef. Then succeeds apples, lentils,
strawberries, white beans, peas, pota-
toes, and wheat, these substances being
given in the order in which they stand
az regards the plentifulness of their
iron constituents. Cows milk Is poor
in iron, but, as balancing this def
cheney in the food Of the young mann
NAL, it is found that the blood of the
youthful quadruped contains much
more iron than the adult. Thus, In
young rabbit or guinea pig one hour
old, four times as much iron was found
than occurs in these animals two-and
a-half months old. These are interest
ing facts, showing that nature proba
bly, draws on the original store of iron
in the young animal for its nutrition
during its milk-fed period.

All the hymns, all the prayers, all
the Scripture readings are as nothing
unless you make their beauty come in
to your daily life, writes Ruth Ash
more in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Take some of the care off the shoulders
of the busy mother; make life seem
more pleasant by your gracious
thought of that father who tolls all day
long. Make it easier for sister to dis
like the wrong and do the right show
a brother the rosy side of the cross,
and so make it lighter for him to carry.
And do all this, not with loud protes-
tations but quietly and gently, letting
Gods name be whispered in your
heart and being only the sister and
daughter without forcing the knowl-
edge that you are the Christian. Then
very soon some one will realize that
your beautiful life is lived for Christ's
sake, and then you will represent Him
as all women should, not by speaking
from the pulpit not by giving con-
mands, but by living every day the life
that He would wish should be yours.

Equal MarriageS.

Millicent w. Shinn, in the Cen
tury: I have no doubt that the
remaining cause of the low marriage

tual women-whether because such
women are really diSagreeabe or he
cause mans taste is at fault, [ shall
not try 10 determine. And even
among those who like them a. friends,
many feel as the young man did who
made this confession
II never expected to marry the sort
of girl 1 did. You know 1 always
believed in intellectual equality and all
that, and had good friendships with
the college girls. But you zee you
girls hadn't any illusions about US.
After you had seen us hanging at the
board on problems you could work,
and had taken the same degrees your
selves, you couldn't imagine us Won
ders just because we had gone through
college and when I met q dear little
girl that thought knew everything
why it just keeled me right over it
was feeling had no idea Of"
And the college woman answered:
IL will betray something to you.
Lots of us are just az unrefnrmed as you;
we wantjust as much 10 look up to our
husbands as you want to be looked up
to. Only, of course, the more we
know, the harder 1t is to find somebody
to meet the want. Probably the equal
marriage is really the ideal one, and
everybody will come TO prefer it some
day. But personally, I like men to be
superior to me; only I'll tell you what
don't like in them-the wish to keep
ahead of us by holding uS back, like
spoiled children that want to be given
the game, and then admired for their
skill. If men would encourage us To
do our very best, and then do still
better themselves, it ought TO be good
for civilzation.n
