An Undesirable Boarder.

Some time ago the keeper Of q board
ing house retired from business after
having acquired a comfortable COM
potency in the course of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
well known in the city and among the
women in her own business. She new
err realized how well known 1t was I'M
til she set out to find place to i've In
herself.
She applied first at the house kept by
woman nearly as well known as her
self only to learn that there was no
room for her. 1t was not until she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came to understand
that she was not wanted in the estab-
Iishments Of her former rivals. Her
reputation for keeping fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
of former boarding house keeper who
had made a reputation and a fortune in
the business.
She learned, after going to hotel
where her record could not be used
against her, that she was not the only
woman who had found 1t difficult to
get into a boarding house after having
kept one of her own. When they are
well known, 1t is practically impossible
for such women to find quarters, for
whatever her reasons may be the land
lady does not like to shelter her kind

ouARRELs OVER TRIPLES.
Frequently the Most Disturbing Ele-

Frequently the Most Disturbing Ele-
ment In Married Life.
1t is very commonly observed that the
most acute pangs which we meet with are
in the beginning of wedlock and proceed
from ignorance of each others humor and
want of prudence to make allowances for
change from the most careful respect
to the most unbounded familiarity. Hence
It arises that trif1es are commonly occa-
sions of the greatest anxiety, for contra
diction being a thing wholly unusual be-
tween a newly married couple, the small
est instance of it is taken for the highest
injury, and it very seldom happens that
the man Is slow enough In assuming the
character of a husband or the woman
quick enough in understanding to that of
a wife 1t Immediately follows that they
think they have all the time of their
courtship been talking in masks to each
other and therefore begin to act Ike dis
appointed people, Philander finds Della
Ill natured and impertinent, and Della
thinks Philander surly and inconsistent.

may seem strange to those who are not
married when l tell you how the least
trife can strike a woman dumb for a
week But if you ever enter into this
state you will find that the gentle sex as
often expresses anger by an obstinate
silence as by an ungovernable clamor.
Those, indeed, who begin this course Of
life without jars at their setting out ar
rive within a few months at pitch Of
benevolence and affection Of which the
most perfect friendship is but faint re-
semblance AS in an unfortunate mar
riage the most minute and Indifferent
things are objects of the sharpest resent
ment so in happy one they are occa-
sions of the most exquisite satisfaction.
What does not oblige in one we lovef
What does not offend in one we dislike?
For these reasons take it for rule that
In marriage the chief business is to ac-
quire a prepossession in favor of each
other. Each should consider the others
words and actions with secret indulgence.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A little vinegar put into frying pan
and heated on the stove removes the odoT
of onions OF fish from the utensils.
A hint for the laundry is that calicoes,
ginghams and chintzes are all much bet
ter ironed on the wrong rather than the
right side.
Soiled photographs may be cleaned by
sponging with clear, cold water. The
cardboard mounts may be cleaned by
rubbing with dry bread.
Flatirons that have been redhot do not
retain the heat so well afterward and will
always be rough. Do not put them on
the stove too long before they are needed
if there is very hot fire.
Baize bags are invaluable for large and
small pieces of silver. A case of knives
or forks can be made Of a straight piece
of baize, with pocket stitched on, which
has a compartment for each single knife
Tapes fasten this when rolled.
To clean piano keys take out the TOP
front of the piano as if you were going to
tune 1t. Then lift up each key till II

clean cloth slightly damped with cold

PENALTIES FOR CRIME.
Punishments That Were Inflicted In
the sixteenth Century.


In Navarro in early times murder and
suicide were considered treason and in
yolved confscation of property, while
homicide was punished by fine and demi-
homicide slight wounds) by lighter fines.
Killings from vengeance and for gain
were distinguished, and murder in
church was held to be an especially obi
Gus crime, especially If the church was
consecrated.
The Fueros Of Etella and st. Sebastian
permit the killing of burglar, but II the
owner of the house can seize such bur-
glar he must not kill him. And if he does
and a relation Of the dead man says,
"You have killed my relation under differ
ent circumstances from what you say; he
was not at your house." the slayer must
then swear and undergo the proof of hot
iron to prove that be killed the man when
in his house and not wantonly. If the
accused gets over the proof Of the hot
iron without hurt, then the accuser has to
pay. If the parties prefer to fight duel,
they can do so, but this it NOT the Gus
TOM"
Later on in Navarro torture became
general and penalties more severe. For
example, incendiaries and their accom-
plices were hanged and burned. The
custom of Soule sixteenth century, or
ders the ears of recidivist bandits to be
cut off and recidivist robbers to be hang
ed and strangled: also those guilty of
arson in houses and mills to be beheaded
and to have their goods coniscated for
reparation Of the damage done. In La
greze words: "Old Fueros, like the gen.
eral, are not as severe as when the penal
system was thoroughly organized. 1t is
impossible to have any idea Of the va
riety and absurdity of the punishments
prescribed"
As an Illustration, the theft of cat Is
punishable by a fine of the amount Of
-four which would cover its whole body If
piled up around the aforesaid cat When
the offender has no -four, the cat is tied
to his naked shoulders and then beaten to
make it scratch and bite the thief. In
Bigorre fines were less in amount than
elsewhere, especially In Bearn, and they
could often be paid in kind. Whether
this was attributable wholly to the hu-
mainly of the people of Bigorre or to
their poverty is not altogether free from
doubt, for at Pampeluna the fine for kill
ing man was 1000 soils or 40 measures
of wheat, of barley and Of wine, while
in the mountains hard by 1t was 24O soils
or IL oxen.-Gentleman' Magazine.

old Mllltla elections and new

From the American Revolution to the
year 1923 the officers Of the militia Of
the state of New York had been APP
pointed by the council Of appointment
upon the recommendation Of command
ing officers of divisions, brigades and
regiments, and the promotions were
generally made according to rank and
seniority. Under the new constitution
and the militia law of 1928, and In ac-
cordance with the democratic spirit OF
the period, the election of military Off
GERS became the established usage and
has continued until the present day.
The election of officers in 1928 and fol-
lowing year was attended with cOnsid-
cradle ceremony-oficers attending
them in full uniform, and noncommis-
stoned officers and privates in undress
uniform.-Clark's History.
