Mans Wife Sues Him For Wages.

(From the Youths Companion.)
An extremely interesting case has lately
been decided by the Indiana supreme court
establishing a new principle regarding the
rights of a wife. man in that state who
kept a shoe store employed his wife at a
saleswoman and paid her weekly wages,
which she saved and invested.
When his business declined he borrowed
her money and also failed to pay her
wages. Then he became bankrupt His
wife presented her claim as one of the
creditors, for the borrowed money and a
years unpaid wages, In the old times the

any case, civil or criminal There could
be no valid contract between the two for
the payment of money.
The situation has been greatly improved
by statute and by common sense decis-
ions of modern jurists. One of the last
of the ancient disabilities of the wife is
removed by the Indiana decision. The
court holds that an agreement to pay
wages for services of a domestic charac-
ter would not stand. 1t would be against
public policy that a man should, by prom

SCARCITY OF STEEL
Makes the Future of the Trade Mat
ter of Interest

Cleveland, March 30.-In connection
with the scarcity of steel, the Iron Trade
Review says:
THE future of the billet and sheet
bar trade of the central west has been
a matter of interest since the formation
of the National Steel company. The
close relation between this company
and the American Tin Plate company
appeared on an inspection of the direc
torate of each; yet the American Tin
Plate cOmpany'S consumption of sheet
bars, even though 1T should buy all from
the National Steel company would be
only about One-fourth the latter's out
put of steel. Contracts for a term of
years by which a part of the tin plate
company's 425, 900 to 100000 tons will
come from other sources are a matter
of common understanding in the trade.
1T is plain, therefore, that the Ma
tional Steel company is to manufacture
the same way that the business was
conducted by the constituent companies.
1t is understood that the policy of the
company, as it will be developed under
the well known steel manufa cturerS
who are active in its management, will
involve no change in the operations of
the constituent companies, nor will it
change their relations with the CUSTOM
ers who have depended upon them here
tofore for material.
1T is the evident purpose of the new
company to preserve the old regime in
it's relation to the buying trade"
The Review says it is understood that
some obstacle in connection with the
financing of the rolling mill combine has
been encountered but definite action is
looked for shortly.

FASHION ANDAUTOMOBILEs

(From the Electrical World)
Example and precedent are everything
in setting fashion. and it is pertinent to
inquire how far electrical people have
gone to foster the automobile art by act
ual patronage. We know of but one
president of a local lighting company who
has automobile, yet it would seem OBJ
vious that many such dignitaries might.

stimulate greatly the consumption Of
Juice" We know of but one electrical
supply or manufacturing company that
handles its materials with AUTOMOBILE
delivery wagon. There may be others;
but they are doubtless extremely few and
far between. Yet here surely is the
chance by example and positive demon
stration to help along the speedy coming
of the industry from which electricity
is to derive enormous development.
Electrical journals may push these things
on public attention; but the stimulus
needed is the example of the whole cleo
trical fraternity itself going in for auto
mobiles. In the meanwhile, the manufac-
turers of these vehicles do not bemoan
any lack of orders.

DAFFODIL LAND.
From the New York SUM

lFrom the New YORK sun -.
A letter written by a New York artist
who is painting there gives an enthusiastic
description of the Scilly islands. which
have, SO far. been comparatively unknown
to American tourists. Even the English
have been slow in realizing the charm Of
the islands so near their own shores, but
it seems that this spring. many. artists
have gone to "dafodil land and the win

have always. grown in great profusion in
the Scilly Islands. February and March
are the height Of their blossoming time,
and to quote the artists letter:

gray rocks and falling back in foambursts

in Holland don't give such gorgeous eff

SOLD FALSE BUTTER.
Employees of the Armour Company
Are Fined.

Kansas City, March 30.-W. STAINS,
an agent of the Armour Packing COM
pany, and John Young, a driver, were
arrested about ten days ago on a state
warrant, the former for selling and the
latter for delivering butterine. The ar
rests were made on the complaint of D.
A. Blanton, state butterlne inspector.
The law provides that butterine shall
not be sold in stores or otherwise nor
served in restaurants without there be-
ing a sign posted, showing distinctly
that butterine is used for butter.
The case came to trial yesterday be-
fore Justice Spitz. STAINS was fined $50
and Young 800, it being Young's sec
ond offense. Both cases were appealed.
The cases against A. p. Nelson and
Henry Sexhauer, restaurant keepers,
who were arrested at the same time as
the others, charged with serving but
terine as butter, were continued until

ARTIFICIAL EYES COMMON.
IFrom the London lancet

IRON the LONDON Lancet
According to German authority peo-
pie wearing false eyes must be pretty
nearly as common as the remainder of
| the victims collectively whom fate has
deprived of a portion of their bodies,
be it organ or limb. Every year, it is
said, no fewer than 900 of glass
eyes are manufactured in the German
empire, and it is. Of course. far from
probable that the whole of the worlds
supply should be made in Germany. On
the contrary, it is stated in La Medicine
Moderne that a single French firm
turns out at least 10000 glass eyes an
nually, and that there are several 9TH
er factories in France the output of
which is about the same. How it will
naturally be asked, can this enormous
stock be utilized? Glass eyes, although
essentially brittle are little liable to
injury, do not wear out quickly, and are
quite independent of the vagaries of
fashion. Once suited, the owner of
glass eye may make it serve him con-
siderable time.

MARVELLOUS FOREIGN SALE.
q Topeka Mans Book Has Eleven
Editions in One Week

The most striking feature in the book
selling world in England at the present
moment. according to Literature -
published by Harper & Brothers, is not
the discovery Of a new poet, not the
appearance of a novel for which the
world has been waiting for twenty years
of the sensational record of travel

sale of a book written by the pastor of
a church at Topeka, Kan. There are

supplies rather an alarming precedent.
Instead of completing it and then pub
fishing IL in the ordinary way, Mr.. Shell
don. the writer, tried 1t on his congre-
cation first, and read it out to them on
successive Sunday evenings
bly, in the place of a sermon. Another
fact which will, we fancy, says the edi-
tor of Literature" have some bearing
on the vexed question of international
copyright is that the book, having been
published and circulated somewhat in
America, has been caught up in Eng
land and sold out to the public in an
Immense number of editions-seventeen
we believe, of which eleven appeared in
one week-religious and secular pub
fishers competing keenly with each
other in the enterprise.

MARTINDALE DENIES.
Defense of the Emporia Man Will Be
That He Was Wronged by Cross

Emporia, March 30.-The Gazette says
in regard to the suit filed by Receiver
Albaugh against VIM. Martindale:
Other disclosures may be expected
soon of a more sensational nature than
those divulged. There is a rumor on the
grand jury indicted Martindale and Da-
Wis. This rumor has no foundation.
1t is said that Martindale's defense
will be that he was wronged by Cross.
The signers of one of the pieces of ac-
cOmmodation paper mentioned in the
Albaugh petition stated to a friend
that he signed it at Cross request and
with a jocular threat that if the signer
ever told Martinda1e of that paper that
Cross would eat him up. There is no
doubt that Cross was to blame for con-
siderable of actual work on the books
but the question at issue is whether or
not Martindale shared the profits of
these transactions.
