Meanwhile, he was negotiating with
his wife's lawyers to allow him his
freedom In return for a large sum for
alimony. The wife spurned the agree
ment. She filed a counterclaim, alleg-
ing infidelity. Both sides fought hard.
Mrs. Mallary won and took $4,000 all
mony. The old man was free at last;
free to work out his pleasure for him
self. He began at once, wilder than
ever. Nothing was too good for the
rejuvenated miser. He bought dia-
monds for himself He bought them
for any woman he liked. He bought
fast horses and smart traps. He bought
a big block of land and started out to
build a hotel far too big for modest
Palmyra. He bought farm OF fifteen
acres which he stocked with fine herd
Of Jersey cows to provide milk for the
hotel. He bought livery stable and
stocked 1t with the finest horses and

there and met q young woman who
was studying to be trained nurse,
and who, 1t seems. possessed the never
zrIdom falling, greed, characteristic OF
those who seek such positions. This
girl, Bessie Brockman, Is now a claim
ant for the relics of his estate.
The old man took Miss Brockman to
Palmyra to care for him In his illness.
She went; her treatment was success
full; he threw away his clutches. he
took her to the hotel. She fatty re-
fused to live at the hotel while the old

the queen was dethroned. She took
$500 from the old man not to make any

England High Amcug the Nations, has

There is now exported from Great
Britain more soap than was used In
Great Britain at the beginning Of the
present century, and, besides, accord
ing to authentic figures, 400, 00O, 600
pounds of soap is used in Great Brit.
ain every year, exclusive Of 55,Oe0.-
900 pounds exported to other coun-
tries, chiefly English colonies. The
French manufacture Of soap amounts
approximately to 800. 100000 pounds q
year, the larger part Of which Is
made in the city Of Paris. The sale
in other countries of French soap and
particularly French perfumed soap, is
a considerable item Of commerce. The
exports of soap from Great Britain In
recent years have been as follows:
1875, 1880 tons; 1880, 1880; 1885,
%, 100; 1890, $4,000; 1895. 1880.
What were known in England as the
soap taxes originated during the
reign of Queen Anne and were orig
inally fixed at $3.50 a ton yielding In
the year 1880 a public revenue In sx-
cess Of 100000. An official estimate
recently made shows the average con-
sumption per inhabitant Of Great
Britain to be nine pounds a year; a
similar average prevails in France,
Belgium and Holland, though a popu-
lar belief ascribes to the last country
a much larger use Of soap, particular
ly for housekeeping. There are no
Official figures on the subject, but
there is a general belief that very lit
tie soap is used in Spain Certainly
no soap is imported into that country
(the Spanish blockade on soap has
been of long duration) and none is
exported from 1t. The United States
stand at the head Of all other eoun-
tries in the use, II not in the manu-
facture, of soap. The average expor-
tations Of American soap in a year
amount to 100000 pounds. The i'm
portation into the United States of
soap amounts to 5000, 900 pounds, or
one-tenth as much. There are nearly
500 soap factories In the United States,
with a cash capital of SIS. 000, 900, US
ing materials to the value Of $50, 900, :

started an investigation as to why their
children have been ailing, and why
they have not made satisfactory prog

building It was found that heat was
furnished by stoves. and there was no
provision for Yentilating except By
movable window sashes which caused
draughts and colds. Even in the newer
buildings heated by furnaces the con-
ditions were hardly better. The rooms.
too. were imperfectly lighted, badly
drained and seriously oyercroTded. and
there were passageways around them
