Ttii,s for wives.

In Germany a controversy has arisen
with regard to the style which should
be adopted in addressing married
ladies. There are four names by
which mans better half may be des-
cribod in the language OF the water
land, viz: Gemahlin (consorU. gattin
(spouse). frau OaGy), and webb twife).
To save the frequent disputes ard
heart-burnings arising from Ignorance
or impertinenc, in the use of any one
OF these forms 1t is proposed that they
shall be officially attached to the rec
osnized graduations OF the social scale.
Thus a generals wife would be ad-
dressed as his consort." the partner OF
an official of certain rank as "iis
spouse the mlddie-class wife would
be addressed as her husbands lady"
and the workman's helpmeet would be
simply his wife"

Spruce Gum Crop OF Maine.

Inc spruce gum crop OF Maine for
THIS year has been harvested and sent
TO market. 1t has proved to be the
largest crop In the history OF the state
---'n,rty tons, worth about 500 900. This
is all collected by the lumbermen, and
contains considerable bark and chips,
but is sorted over by the thrifty Yam
kee, who sells 1t to the trust. An In
teresting and peculiar thing in con-
nection with the gum crop OF this year
Is the fact that the harvesters have
combined to crush the trust. They will
sell none Of their product to any dealer
who does not give his promise that no
gum handled by him shall be manufac-
tured and put on the market by the
trusts.
