Something sensational appears TO be ex-
pected at Rennes Every day the opinion
grows that the secret of the conspiracy
and persecution will come to light and
blast the generals of the headquarters
staff and their tools. A few words from
the War Offices at Berlin and Rome would
easily clear up the mystery. 1t is no
longer much of a mystery in fact There
is ample moral evidence that the chiefs
of the general staff had been for several
years eking out their scanty incomes by
selling army secrets to whoever would
buy them, and that the villain, Esterhazy,
was their broker. foreign @ttache is
reported to have said that in one year
this miscreant received forty thousand
dollars as the price of his own and others

rated and published nothing but sudden

flow Their Savings May Be Taken by
 Their Husbands Creditors.

Economies effected by wives out oi their housekeeping money are not such common incidents of domestic life that VIC can see them discouraged by judicial decision without a pang We could have wished, therefore, that Commissioner Kerr had seen his way to protect the savings of Mrs. Gillett. the wife of defendant who appeared before him, from the sweep of that mysteriously potent instrument of the acquistive creditor which is known in the practice of the city of London court as a "garnishee order A firm of auetioneers having obtained judgment against Mir. Gillett, sought to attach certain moneys standing in his name in the books of the London, City, and Midland bank in satisfaction of their claim. The bank officials admitted that they had f50 in their hands belonging 10 the defendant, but the latter eontended that the sum in question was not his. but his wife's, who had managed, by the exercise of much frugality, to save it out of the housekeeping money, and, not having anything else to dc with it, had asked her husband to "mind it for her.o
 It was while he was thus "mindinp it" that the creditors above named ob- tained their judgment against him and applied for its assignment to them in liquidation of the debt The learned commissioner ruled that the money was the husbands, and there. fore the garnishee proceedings must succeed, which, of course. meant judgment for the plaintiffs, with costs. This decision, however cor rect in law, is fraught, we fear, with peril to the prosperity, if not tht peace, of the home. Either it vii deter wives from practicing tht virtue of frugality in the man agement of their households, ol it will determine them never in future to make their husbands their bankers and neither of these results is to b, welcomed. Or, what is, perhaps, [ still more probable consequence, i will inspire the economical houscwif, with heroic resolve not to bank hel savings at all. 1tis only too likely tt occur to her that if there is this dan ger of her economies being brough within the clutch of a garnishec or der, the garnishing had better begir nearer home. She will feel that tn, contents of newly stocked wardrob, will, at any rate, be safe from her hus bands creditors. and her savings, in stead of "fructifying" in the marita pocket, will'b sunk in unproductiv, expenditure upon hats and frocks.- London Telegraph.

Anonymous Poems of Queen Victoria That Were "Returned with Thanks"

Queen Victoria has always had g leaning toward authorship, and she has often related to distinguished members of the writer's craft how she, when young, sent anonymous con tributions, chiefly poems, to editors, only to receive them back with the usual expression of regret.
 The same experience befell both Princess Louise (the marchioness of Lorne) and tue late duke of Albany. The latter used to tell how an editor wrote to him, at the same time re- turning his manuscript, to the effect that, although the statements he made were interesting enough, they seemed to be quite without at- thority.s
 The princess was more fortunate on many occasions. One editor re- peatedly accepted articles on art from her before he discovered her identity.
 The princess says that one of the proudest moments of her life was that in which she found check made out to herself, in the name of "Myra Fon- tenoy,' for literary work.
 The wife of the German emperor, too, few years ago was keen on ae- quiring literary fame Her book, a story of old German days, wandered from publisher to publisher without a kind word being said for it-a fact which the empress now acknowledges caused her more disappointment than any other trouble had ever done.
 After the book had made its round the empress wished to publish it on her own account, but was strongly dis suaded from doing so by the emperor
 Somehow the story got abroad among the publishers, and the em, press was waited upon one day by deputation from leading publishing firm of Berlin. who asked 10 be al lowed the honor of publishing her work.
