We who are men will rejoice that
the courts are finally extending to us
the protection which we SO much need.
The tyranny and injustice Of the fe-
male sex has wrought us to high
sense Of indignation. We have appeal
ed for justice until now in vain. At last
we have found it in judge who has
thrown the aegis Of the law over the
shoulders Of one Of our brothers In af-
lection. The occasion Of this triumph
was a suit for divorce. Here are some
of the things the defendant admitted
on the witness stand. She was widow
and proposed to the plaintiff, taking
that unfair advantage Of our sex SO
well understood by the elder Weller
when he said, Beware Of the vidders,
Samival." She was rich and allowed
our brother $3.50 year, but compelled
him, moreover, to cook, wash and do
chores around the house. Once when
our brother hesitated to wash the
dishes she shot at him with a revolver
and unfortunately missed him. Other
things she gave him, to wit, saddle
horse, overcoat and umbrella. When
our frater pawned these sundries she
swore at him. 1t is not Of evidence
that she swore like the army In Elan
ders, but nevertheless she swore. Be
sides the swear words, she denounced
him as "indolent, lying, deceitful and
soft" The judge granted the divorce,
and stipulated that this tyrannical ter
magant should pay our wronged broth
er alimony Of $43, beginning next
Thanksgiving Day, the annual pay
ment to be increased each year by the
sum of 81. Also she must pay the law
yer who stood for our deeply wronged
fellow citizen the fee of 500 cash in
hand. And now do we no longer say,
20, Tmora." The times are not out Of
joint We have an advocate in thee,
oh, righteous Judge

Women Drug Clnnls

1t is fact not generally known that
there are nearly 400 women pharma-
clsts IN the United States. One of the
largest apothecary establishments in
New England employs women almost
exclusively, giving them precedence
over men, and assigning as the reason
therefor that women can be depended
on. or, to use the language of the head
OF the concern: No big heads, no mis-
takes, hence no suits for damages, as
the result of careless reading Of nre-
scr1ptlons. Many manufacturing
chemists employ women In different ca
pacities.

One hears much in these days about
the "home beautiful and one Of the
duties imposed upon the care-laden in
diyidual Of to-day Is that making his
home thing of individual loneliness.
To do this he must not depend upon the
builder, the decorator, or the furniture
maker, but must let his home be the
expression Of his own personality. 1t
used to be that man whose place

could give passers-by glimpses of a

he had but the haZiest notion of the

are but the commonplaces of wealth or

a porte-cochere, few are without the
armless lady. Mere possessions no
longer dazzle, but it is the harmony be-
tween these and their possessor that is
said to give charm to the ideal home.
IL a man have a large library on his
shelves and but a small one In his
brain, or If he have fine art collection
on his walls and but meager appreci

PONTEGRANDE'S PASSION PLAY
A Performance for Which CaIabrian
Village Is Famous in Italy.

Village Is Famous in Italy.
Everyone knows about the Passion
Play at Oberammergau, and the Pas
sion Play at Selzach attracts many Wis
itors, but very few tourists have seen
one of the Passion Plays of the Gala
brian villages in Italy.
Pontegrande is famous in Calabria
for it's elaborate performance of the
Passion Play. In the public square a
large platform Is built, and, on the day
comics, roofs and streets surrounding
the square are crowded with spectators.
On the platform sit the Judges, PLATE,
Caiaphas and Judas
Christ advances through narrow
street, in charge of the guards who are
bringing him from the Mount of Olives,
where he has been betrayed; and, as he
stands before his judges, the governor
rises and reads the sentence of DEATH
The Jews cry, Cruelty him, cruelty
himw and the centurions lead him
away.
The crown of thorns Is placed upon
his head, heavy cross which he can
hardly carry is laid upon his back and
he is led across the square to Calvary.
On the way woman, representing
Saint Veronica, leaves the crowd and
wipes his face with her veil. This role
is much coveted by the women Of the
village and the wells used are always
kept as heirlooms
st. Peters rage and >remorse are yio-
lently depicted, and. like all the actors
st. Peter does not confine himself to the
gospel or written part, but impro-
vises as the play progresses, and the
excellence Of the improvisation is Der
haps the most interesting feature Of
the play.
When Christ Is raised upon the cross
between the two thieves the spectators
sink upon their knees; and when II is
announced that Christ Is dead a storm
Of tears sweeps over the emotional
imaginative crowd, and the air is filed
with sobbing prayers.
In the evening the sepulcher covered
with flowers and surrounded by anoals
is borne through the streets TO tho
music OF dirge, and all the people of
the village walk behind 1t, CARRYING

Science Versus the Rat Pest.

Institute in Paris has discovered mi
crobe that breeds a pestilence among
rats. Specimens of it have been tested
on farms and in warehouses with sue

colony of rats was destroyed; in other
cases, the number was greatly reduced.
Thus science will take the place Of ma
