In March, 1896, the London Times
announced the sale Of a wife in Shelf
field for s~ixpence, and a little while
afterward the same paper sOlemnly in
formed the public that the price Of
wives had risen in Smithaeld market
from half a guinea to three guineas
and a half. In 1903 it is recorded a
mar led his wife by a halter into the
cattle market at Sheffield and sold her
for a guinea. The market value Of a
wife seems to have dropped as the
century grew older, for In 1920 a
worthy husband In Canterbury placed
his wife in a cattle pen and disposed
Of her for i've shillings. In 1855 the
people OF Derby had the opportunity
Of buying a wife OF one Of their fellow
townsmen. The woman was led to the
market place with a halter round her
waist and was knocked down for
eighteen pence and a quart Of beer.
In the SOS a collier sold his wife at
AlfretOn, in Derbyshire, for four pence

men agreed to the buying and selling
Of a wife in a public house. cat the

ran: Il. Abraham Boothroyd, agreed

the relief In these cases Of c~onsoling
ones self with the reflection that the
sale Of the wife is a thing Of impulse.
often enough 1t is a deliberate COM
mercial transaction in cold blood,
as in the case that came to light a
few years ago in which the wife, with
her parents and two friends, met to
arrange the terms Of the sale. The
price was fixed at thirty shillings and
the bill OF sale ran: Mr.. - to
have my wife, Elizabeth - free
from me forever, to do as she has a
mind, this day, Dec. II, 1893" The
notion that a man may sell his wife
and marry again is common among
certain classes OF the English popula-
ton. A prisoner at Leeds on his trial
for bigamy pleaded that the charge
could not stand, as he had sold his
wife for three shillings six pence, and
was therefore entitled to marry again.

There win be general satisfaction
over the announcement that John W.
Mackay and other officers Of the Com

mined to % the Pacific ocean with
a cable, and that portion between Call

within a year. From that point the
submarine line will be extended to the
Philippine islands as rapidly as posi-
bic. go there is a possibility that by
the beginning of 1904 Il will be possi-
BILE to send dispatches direct from
Washington to Manila over an Ameri-
can cable. A commendahle feature Of
the enterprise Is the fact that the com
pany disclaims any intention Of ask

kind. II this attitude Is maintained,
and III The Commercial Pacific Com
pany goes ahead and completesits prof.
ect without seeking any favors from
the government, It win deserve the
popular approval and interest which
viii attend the undertaking. There IS
no reason why the Pacific cable should
not be profitable as a strictly business
enterprise. It win open up direct com
munication with Japan and China, as
well as with the Philippines. and will
shorten the distances by about one
half. The owners OF the new cable
can afford to reduce the rates from
80 to so per cent. which will increase
the volume Of BUSINESS and attract
much Of that which now comes by way
Of Europe. The Hawaiian link is need
ed urgently by b~usinass interests in the
islands, and n the rates are not ex-
orbitant, this part of the line should
be specially remunerative. The gov
eminent dispatches both from Hawaii
and from the Philippines will be nu-

The recent return Of the Feary re-
lief steamer Erik reveals the results
Of that indefatigable explorers labors
DURING the last two years. While he
has not yet succeeded in reaching the
pole, his achievements are consider
able and satisfactory. His greatest
success consists in having discovered
and charted the northernmost island
OF the Greenland archipelago, which
is also the most northerly known land
in the world. He has called the island
Melville Land. and expresses the belief
that there is no land anywhere lying
nearer the pole. With pardonable
pride the lieutenant congratulates the
Peary Arctic club on the fact that,
through its fundamentally, the most
northerly cape Of Greenland has been
lifted out Of the Arctic mists and OBJ
