WIVES IN CALIFORNIA.
LAW in That State Compe1s n Woman
to Support Her Husband.

Law in That State Compe1s n Woman
to Support Her Husband.
Under the law of California a wife
can be compelled to- support her hus-
band, says the Boston Woman's Jour
nal. This point was established re-
Gently by decision rendered by Justice
Temple, of the supreme court, con-
Cured in by Justice Henshaw and Van
Fleet and Chief Justice Beatty The
circumstances on which this decision
was made were peculiar.
In Los Angeles county there live an
aged couple named Livingston. The
wife, Mrs. Mary A. Livingston, has
reached the mature age of 70 years, and
her husband, Samuel W., is even older
than his wife. In fact, he is so aged
as 10 be infirm and unable to support
himself. Some time ago the wife de-
serted her husband, and he was left as
helpless as a baby. In their more pros
porous days the wife always carried the
handbook, and, furthermore, she had
money in her own right.
After the old woman deserted the old
man he sued her for maintenance, and
won the suit, the superior court of
Los Angeles county ordering Mrs. Liv-
ingston to pay her husband a monthly
allowance of $24. She at once trans
ferred all of her property to her daugh-
ter, so as to avoid the execution of the
order. She was cited to appear and
show cause why she should not be pun
ished for contempt. The contempt
proceedings resulted in her being COM
mitted to prison until such time as
she would comply with the order of the
court. From that judgment she APP
pealed to the supreme court, and the
| Judgment has been affirmed.

roots soon fill the pot and grow out into
the soil of the bench through the drain
age hole in the bottom of the pot. Be-
do not dry out as rapidly as they would
do were they exposed to the air. !
The moment pot is removed from
the bench another may be set in its
place without waiting to clear the
bench, or any portion of It, of the rest
of the lettuce. The method thus proves
economical, both of time and space.
Grocers and other retail dealers readi-
ly appreciate the advantage of having
lettuce grown in this way. 1t permits
them to keep the lettuce on hand for a
considerable length of time and still
present it to their customers crisp,
fresh and attractive, instead of wilted
and unattractive.
When the plant is ready for market
1t may be knocked out of the pot and
the ball of earth and roots undisturbed
may be wrapped sungly in old paper.
The earth will thus keep moist for a
long time and furnish moisture to the
plants through the roots which are inn
bedded in it. Local customers may be
supplied with lettuce in the pots, and
the pots returned after the plants are
taken from them.
While the subject of forcing is thus
under consideration, few hints on the
care of crop may not be amiss. a.
The temperature should be kept down
TO from so to 60 degrees during the day
and from As to so degrees during the
night. Plant lice become more trouble.
some in high temperature. (2.) AS
much ventilation should be given as
possible, but still keep the temperature
within the range mentioned. (3.) So
far as possible water only on bright,
sunny days, preferably early in the
day.

The result of Mrs. f. A. Steel's per.
,sonal observation is that marriages in
India are singularly happy. There
are fewer cases of unkindness and
violence than in Great Britain The
dowry system, she AYERS, is great
protection to the wife. Every bride
takes her husband dowry, which is u
kind of marriage settlement against
unkindness. If she is badly treated
and thus compelled to go back to her
fathers house, the husband has to re-
turn her dowry; probably he has spent
1t, and, as it is not often convenient for
him to refund the money, he takes care
to treat his wife well. 81 think that a
similar system here would be good
thing" says the lady, frankly.

Smaller and Much More becoming
Than Inst Years style.
The theater hat has reformed. 1t has
seen the error of its ways and promises
to forsake its spreading brim and tow
ering crown for n neat little toque shape
which will be suitable for any face.
The very latest theater hat directly
from Paris is made of three puffs of
sapphire blue velvet, one placed above
the other and fastened together so that
they resemble fluted crown. AT one
side there is steel buckle which
catches bunch of lace and a couple of
loops of sapphire ribbon. On the other
side is steel star. AT the extreme
back an aigrette towers up and little
forward.
This hat is meant to be worn far back
on the head with the hair moderately
low. 1t looks very well above n braid
and is particularly becoming to hair
that is turned straight back over POM

Place the linen stained over large

from the teakettle held at height to
insure force. Old tea and coffee stains
which have become "set' should be
soaked in cold water first, then boil

For peach stains a weak solution of

Grass stains may be removed by
cream tartar and water.
For scorch hang or spread the article

soak the article until mildew disap-
pears. Rinse very thoroughly to avoid
any chemical action upon the linen.
For wine stains sprinkle well with
salt, moisten with boiling water and
then pour boiling water through until
the stain disappears. For blood stains
use cold water first, then soap and
water. Hot water sets the stain.
For chocolate stains use cold waite,
first, then Boiling water from the tea

Fruit stains will usually yield to boil

be used, allowing three ounces of the

A Method of Forcing Tint Has Been
Practiced with Success.
The method of forcing lettuce in pots
may be of interest to those who grow
lettuce under glass either in the anna!
teur way or as commercial product.
The preparation of soil for lettuce
should not be too heavy. 1t should be
composed of three parts by measure
of loan, one of manure and one of sand,
The seed is sown in boxes about 1a
by 10 inches and three inches deep, or
on the bench. Benches are six inches
deep, the lower three inches being
filled with well-rotted manure, and the
upper three inches with potted soil pre-
pared as described above.
When the plants are about two inches
high they are transplanted to two-inch
pots. The benches are filled with soil
in which the pots containing the let.
tuce are plunged, so that the tops of the
pots are covered with about half an
inch of soil A little drainage material
is put in the bottom of each pot. The
plants are usually set on the benches
about ten inches apart each way. The

trnctive Than His Singing.
Whitney Mockridge, the noted tenor, was
once taking troupe of singers around the
country giving concerts at the principal
towns in the middle west and northwest.
The troupe also included a violinist and
solo pianist. They eventually arrived at
st. Louis, town on the Mississippi river
From there they expected to take n train for
Sedala, a flourishing town in the interior.
But to Mockridge's dismay, there was no
train which would take him to Sedalia in
time for his concert. The officers of the
Missouri Pacific railroad were sorry, but
it could not be helped. Mockridge tele-
graphed ahead to his agent to see If the
concert could not be postponed. "Impos-
sible," was the reply.
But the tenor was equal to the emergency.
He groped down in his broadcloth and ex-
tracted roll of large, potent bills, currency
| of the realm. These he waved in the coun-
| tenances of the railroad people and demand
ed locomotive, special car for his troupe
and a clear track as far as Sedalia. Money
talked and he got the train and the right of
way. He telegraphed to the anxious agent:
1--WE are coming, Father Abraham, 10000
strong. Meet us at the depot with band"
The news spread through the town and q
crowd gathered at the depot. The special
train ate up the 178 miles between ST. Louis
and Sedalia as hungry tramp eats piece
of huckleberry pie. The wheels only hit the
high places. The crowd at the depot waf
madly enthusiastic when the train leapet
into town, and there was a crowd at the
concert. TO hear the singing? Oh, no. Tc
