be subject to the same obligations as
the husbands.
The author says that the law of Col
orado is indicative Of the general spir-
1t Of legislation in the matter Of
wife's right to support. It declares a
husbands refusal to provide suitable
support for his wife and minor children
to be a misdemeanor, punishable by
confinement in the county jail for not
more than 60 days.
1t Is shown that only in New York,
Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska,
Pennsylvania and Rhode Island has
the mother equal rights with the faith
er in the guardianship Of children. In
New York the conditions Of guardian
ship were made equal in 1860, but the
law was repealed two years later and
was not re-enacted until 1893. In Geor-
gia the father is the only guardian
during his life and he Is empowered to
appoint a successor by will, thus ex-
cluding the mother entirely, If he 80
desires. In Massachusetts, the mother
is guardian only If appointed by the
court in case Of separation or divorce.
Desertion is a cause for divorce in
all the states except New York and
South Carolina. The latter does not
grant a divorce for any cause. The
shortest period constituting a deser-
ton is six months, in Arizona, and the
longest is five years, in Louisiana.
In New Hampshire there Is curious
disparity. The wilful absence Of the
husband and neglect to support his
wife for three years is ground for d.
vorce, while ten years desertion by the
wife is required to make cause.
Conviction, followed by imprison-
ment, is a ground for divorce in many
OF the states.
The property and business rights and
qualifications Of married women are
treated Of at considerable length and
separate chapter defines the rights OF
aliens. The laws relating to the en-
ployment and protection Of women are
outlined and much information of in
terest and value Is outlined.

WATCH HORSE RoLL.-An ex-
change, whose question box has been
asked why dogs always turn around
before lying down and why ducks walk
behind each other in string instead
of abreast, fires back the question as
to why a horse, when wallowing, al
ways fails to roll over on the second
attempt. 1t says that 1t Is an invaria-
BILE rule that a horse rolls over at the
first attempt or quits trying with the
third effort. Sometimes, it says, he
rolls over the first time and Is there
fore satisfied. But If he does not
he invariably makes the second at
tempt and invariably fails, and Is then
equally certain to make the third at
tempt. This time he sometimes sue
ceeds and sometimes does not. If he
goes over alright, but If he fails at the
third attempt he is certain to quit try
ing for that occasion. We turn this
interesting question over to our fine
corps of correspondents, all Of whom
may thus have a chance to philoso-
phize a little.-Monroe Enquirer.

GENIUS THAT WILL VIVA certain
hardware store in this city recently
employed as a clerk genuine 1S-karat
genius. They did not know it at the
time; but they are firmly convinced OF
it now.
A few days ago country customer
came in to buy some powder to use
on a hunting trip. The new man
waited on him, and not being thor
oughly ION to the ropes" gave him
blasting powder by mistake.
The next day the purchaser brought
back the lumpy blasting powder to
exchange for what he originally asked
for. Here is where the new clerks
genius displayed itself. Instead of
taking back the blasting powder on
the spot, he tried to argue the country
customer into buying a coffee grinder,
with which the blasting powder might
be ground to the requisite fineness.
Sad to relate, he failed; but he made
a great hit with his employers, new
ertheless.-Syracuse Herald.

CASE OF EXPIRATION, ANYWAY
Some years ago battery of artillery
was at big gun practice at Bermuda.
One Of the guns "a thirty y-eight-ton)
was found to have a serious flaw.
The officer in charge, not caring to
risk half dozen valuable lives, in
quired:
Sergeant. have you any time-expir-
ed men here?'
Yes, SIR" answered the sergeant.

officer, Paddy Jackson will fire the

WOMAN AND THE LAW.
Her Status In Domestic, properly
and Public Relations In This
COuntrY.

Her Status In Domestic, Property
and Public Relations In This
Country.
A book that is likely to win attention
from American club women has just
been published by the Century compa-
ny. 1t was written by George James
Bayles, Phi. D., Of Columbia university,
and, under the title woman and the
Law" gives a general view Of the le-
gal condition of women in the United
States at the present time.
The work is divided into three Sec
tions, treating respectively, of domes-
tic relations, property relations and
public or political relations. In the
first section the laws relating to mar
riage and divorce in the different
states are briefly outlined. 1t Is inter-
esting to know that the constitutions
of California, Georgia and New Mexi-
co, expressly declare the husband to be
the head Of the family, his wife being
required to render him obedience. The
states of California, Nevada and the
Dakotas compel the wife to support
her husband out Of her separate prop
erty when he has no property and is
unable to support himself.
In most states the husband may re-
cover damages for the alienation of
his wife's affections, even when the
wrong is done by her parents, but a
wife is held to have mo cause for ac-
ton" against her husbands parents
under similar circumstances. The rea-
son assigned for this is that parents
are under an obligation by the law of
nature to relieve their children when in
Distress" but only a lawyer can per-
ceive why a wife's parents should not
