Diamonds as NeceKsariea.

There is a law In Iowa which makes
q wife equally liable for debts contract
ed for n~ecessaries with the husband. A
jeweler sold to a man named McNair
a diamond shirt stud, for which the
latter gave his note. The creditor sued
OH the note, making Mrs. McNair a
co-defendant under the statute. She
demurred or the ground that a dia-
mond stud was not an expense for
which she was liable. The court be-
low sustained the demurrer. The ease
vas carried to the supreme court and
Judge Ladd rendered a decision which
was concurred in by the whole court
except Judge Robinson. Judge Laid
held that: THE make of the shirt or
the taste Of the wearer may be such
as to require some kind of a button
or stud. If the inexpensive pearl were
used NJ one would suggest making it
a family charge. But it might be as
much out of place on the shirt front
of a person of fashion or fortune as a
diamond In that of one who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow" I'm
der this decision the question of orna-
ment, not utility, is raised. The mex
pensive pearl would answer the utili-
tartan purpose equally as well. Orna-
mept. then, becomes a necessity to the
rich. That is the gist of the courts
decision. Dubuque Times.

LUCKY TO GET OUT ALIVE.
Patients in a Chinese Hospital Have
Little Chance to Recover.

Little Chance to Recover.
From the London Mail: If ever the
surroundings were conducive to i'll
health or a prolongation of disease,
those of a Chinese hospital are GER
tanly meant to be productive of con-
tinued revenue to the owner. For, be
1t known. the Chinese hospital is a
private institution run by the under
taker. He is always on the safe side.
II the patient keeps alive he gets
money for caring for him. If his
friends tire of paying for his keep he
IS placed in the chamber of tranquil
hty. After he dies the undertaken,
mat pooh bah who has three offices
only, burfes him and makes money out
OF HIM to the last. Imagine a room
ABOUT ten feet wide and twelve feet
long, hlled with the odds and ends of
a JUNK shop. Let this room be so dark
tnat 1t takes two candles to make a
llgnt, and so filed with the malodor-
Gus smells thai are usually met with
IN CHINATOWN dens that a strong man
hesltates before he enters and gasps
for breath after he gets inside. Place
a l. dozen hunks round the walls
and a cauldron in which some witches
broth is boiling in the corner. Let the
walls be so full of ratholes that the
lhree cats which make themselves
al nome on the hunks with the sick
Ch1namen are insufficient to watch
them all. Imagine all this, and you
may have some slight conception of
what the interior of a Chinese hos
pital looks like. If our imagination
Is very vivid, and you have seen
Chinese opium dens, you may get pref
ty close to the real thing. Otherwise
1t Is beyond imagination. But the
front room above described Is elysium
in comparison with the one at the
back. There are grades of darkness,
the scientists tell us, and these grades
may be found in a Chinese hospital.
Some darkness can be seen, some can
be felt. That in the back room can
be felt palpably. In fact, it is present
TO all m senses at once. 1t can

stand just within the opening, which
by courtesy is called a door, and you
hear breathing, as IL someone were ex-
hausted after a long run. You are
not mistaken. 1t is a man breathing
heavily in his race with death. He is
still alive, and you wonder why.
Cropping your way, you reach some
stationary object and light a match.
1t just gives enough light to enable
o to see a candle on a bench and you
light that. Then you feel that an cleo
trio arc light would scarcely be suffl-
cient to enable you to pierce that
Stygian darkness. 1t is we'll, perhaps,
that you have an obscured vision. II

"MY WIFE'S LIFE"
How was the e q
of saving it.

When the lungs are attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. It is a happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but it did in
the case OF Mr.. X. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then sug-
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"Seven wears ago, my wife had a severe
attack Of lung trouble which the ply
siciaus pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting Of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, 1 in
duced her to try DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectora1
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured. so that now she is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my, wife's. life I have not the least doubt.

Food for Renection.

A lady of high education and attain
ments sent us the following in a pri-
vate letter, but it has so much food
for reflection" we share it with our
readers:
There Is nothing on earth / would
30 gladly see accomplished as the 'abo-
htion' and demolition of all alcoholics
n opiates as we'll as tobacco. l wish
the latter could not be grown and the
others not made. | wish that the ply
sicianr could be reached first, to real
lie the harm they do in their practice
by the use Of stimulants and opiates,
as we'll as many other deadly things
which ought not to be touched by any
man, still less prescribed by physi-
clans whose profession has won for
them the blind confidence and obe-
dience Of so many thousands OF de-
pendent mortals. | believe tobacco to
be quite as powerful to cause disease
M to promote crime as more univer-
sally recognized causes-aleohol and
opiates. 1t is perhaps all the more
dangerous because more subtle and
hidden in its effects, less immediate,
and yet more directly affecting the
mind n temper; by that l mean, for
bidding the true and natural action Of
the Spirit in man. 1t gives a false
strfL 9Th, a false poise. a false sense,
n life goes on with those false props
as basis of action. and with false no.
tives generated by it's use. 1t is quite
terrible to see the various effects I'M
der the various circumstances. and to
know that 1t is ~countenanced princi-
pally because OF the profit in the trade
to the government, and partly because
OF the love Of self-indulgence in phys
zeal ways which these deadly things
satisfy only to create others and
worse ones"
