A woman has b:en legally advanced

A woman has h:en legally advanced
to be the head Of family. Not long
ago Mrs. Marion II. Richardson Of
Plow Point, Va, who kept store and
ran the village post office and was the
bread winner OF the family, filed a
petition in bankruptcy. At the same
time she claimed the $4,000 homestead
exemption that the state constitution
allows to beads of families in such
cases. When the case came before
Justice Waddill of the United State,
district court be was not able to
divest himself Of the idea that a
woman could not be the head
Of the family. Accordingly he decided
against Mrs. Richardson S claim But
when the case came before Justice
Purnell of the United States circuit
court of appeals, he took different
view. He held that a woman may be
the head of family legally as we'll as
actually. "When an intelligent, &C
tive, ind 1strious, frugal woman" he
said, ''marries man who, instead of
coming up to the standard Of hus-
bind is mere dependent, who &C
knowledges that he is only help
mate to his wife, obeys her instruc.
tions, pours his little earnings into
her lap. acknowledges her to be and
always to have been the head Of the
family and leaves to her its support,
it would be contradictory Of the fact
and an absurd construction Of law
to say that he and not she is the head
Of the family and deny to her the bene.
fits intended for the family and Of the
separate estate she accumulated, be-
cause the title is in her, she lives with
him." Righteous Judge. Where the
wife is the owner of property, where
she conducts business as a femmesole
and is the debtor, where the husband
cannot per force claim the homestead,
the wife, though living with the hus-
band, is undoubtedly the head Of the
family. This may be contrary to St.
Paul's dictum, but it is plain justice.

Concerning Appendicitis.

DR.. H. R. Lemen of Alton, Ills, says
II often meet people who have such a
wholesome fear of appendicitis that they
do not eat grapes, tomatoes, figs cr
fruits containing little seeds because of
fear that these seeds will lodge in the
appendix AMI cause appendicitis
"Whenev.r l hear a person say he
denies himself fruits because of this
fear take occasion to assure him that
it is useless to take any such precau-
tions. If YOU like fruit, eat it, for APP
pendicitis seven in ten instances, is
due to other things than seeds. Little
particles of GOOD Of any kind can lodge
in the apper dix and produce appendi
citis. even a bread crumb being capable
OF it, In addition, a great many cases
are caused by something entirely out
side the appendix, something causing
the inflammation.
"To all l would say, Go ahead and
eat anything you like for all precau
tions you ;nay take are not going to
save you from appendicitis if You are
going to hive it. The inexplicable
things to which the majority of cases
are attributable cannot be guarded
against, and it is useless to fight the
minority. -

Praise For the Bishop.

The bishop of-never mind where
being a newcomer and somewhat trou-
bled with neglected diocese, thought
to inspire his clergy to take occasional
services during the week by periodically
visiting out of the way parishes and
taking one himself.
On one of these occasions, having
formed quite a good congregation and
having been moved to much eloquence
in his sermon, he felt little not un-
natural desire to know if he had made
any impression on the usually unim-
questionable yokels, and put some lead
ing questions to the old clerk, who was
helping him to unrobe in the vestry.
"Well, hope they te been pleased with

Underground Paris.


The Paris of the pavement, gay,
bright and exhilarating, is fairly IA
miliar to us ALL but underground Paris,
dark, solitary and damp, extending for
miles, is comparatively unknown. A
part of this area is devoted to the cata-
combs-a valley of dry bones, garden

vast, provides for the wants, or rather
the luxuries, of the living-it is devot.
ed to mushroom culture. These subter-
ranean gardens extend for some 20
miles under the gay capital and are
from 20 feet to 100 feet beneath the
surface.
1t is very difficult to obtain permits
sion to visit them, and even when per-
mission is obtained it requires some
courage to avail oneself Of it, for the
only entrance is circular opening like
the mouth Of we'll, out of which a
long pole stands. Through this pole,
fastened at the top only, at fairly long
intervals, sticks are thrust. This prim-
tive ladder, the base of which swings
like pendulum in the impenetrable
darkness below, is the only means of
reaching the caves. Here" again

A ShOemakeF's Accounts.

There was q shoemaker / met not
long ago, says writer in Chambers
Journal, who had a most elaborate
method Of keeping his "books. Against
the wall of his workshop he had large
board erected, which he painted black.
Into this board he used to drive hob
nails, tacks. brass and steel rivets and
other nails used in his trade to repre-
sent work done. For instance, the SOL
ling Of pair Of boots woud be repre-
sented by small piece of leather tack
ed on to the board by means of brass
Yivet, but if the boots were hobnailed,
then hobnail was used instead of the
brass rivet. A steel rivet indicated a
patch on the sole, and a patch on the
upper was shown by the addition of a
piece Of thin leather New boots were
shown drawn in chalk, as We're also the
hieroglyphics representing the custom
ers' names.
Some popularity Of manner, dress or
surroundings was chosen to indicate
whose account it was. The parson ac-
count was placed under the rough draw
ing Of church; the c11rate who wore
glasses, was represented by sketch of
them; couple Of circles, one blank
and one with a dot in the center, stood
for the postman, who had lost one eye.
A beer barrel was the innkeeper's sign;
the village pump did duty for the milk
man, while the schoolmaster was per-
sonated by the drawing of a cane. The
old man was great wag, but he never
had his accounts challenged in spite of
their quaintness.
