SEVERE ON HUSBANDS.

According to the Massachusetts, Su-
preme Judicial Court husbands can no
longer rule their wives. The Court
says, in rendering a recent decision !:
''By virtue of this legislation mar
ried woman becomes, in the view of
the law, distinct and independent
person from her husband, not only in
respect to her right to own property,
but also in respect to her right to use
her time for the purpose of earning
money on her sole and separate ac-
count. She may perform labor, and
is entitled to her wages and earnings.
If she complies with the statutory re-
quirement as to recording certificate
she may carry on any trade or busi-
ness on her sole and separate account,
and take the profits. if profits there
are, as her separate property"
Her husband can appropriate neither
her earnings nor her time, but he is
obliged to support her as in the old
regime. He has few rights left,
though, for. "to certain limited ex-
tent. as for example, in fixing the
domicile and in being responsible un-
der ordinary circumstances for its or
derly management, the husband is
still the head of the family. New

Last year curious thing happened
These snails are not common garden
snails, but carefully selected follows,
well fed and cared for, which in the
fall nre packed in barrels, a layer
being placed at the bottom 80 that
they quickly seize on the wood, then
another layer, who seize on the shell
beneath them, and so on until the
barrel is filed. Then they are placed
in cold storage of modified type,
and kept alternating until January.
When shipped they are marked as
snails, and grent care is taken to have
them slowed in a cool part OF the hold,
so that they arrive in normal state.
Last year consignment for con-
spicuous downtown restaurant was
reported of Sandy Hook. The regu-
lar guests we're notified that at Ger.

and oil preparations were made. When
tho casks arrived it was found that
they had been slowed too near the
boiler room, and that all tho snails
were awake and out of their shells, and
could not be coaxed back into them.
Those put near ice did not go back
into their shells, but just died. So

eaten in other ways. New York Sun.
