A CALIFORNIA DECISION

recent Supreme Court decision in
California shows the absurdity of one
State trying to nullfy or disregard the
marriage ana divorce laws of another
State. California has law prohibiting
divorced persons marrying again within
twelve months from the date of divorce.
That is all right. so far as re-marriage
of divorced persons in that State is con-
cerned, but when a man who had obtained
a divorce in California went into an ad-
Joining State where marriage Immediately
after divorce was valid. and there mar
ried and returned with his wife to Cali
fornia an effort was made to punish him
for violating the law on the latter State.
This brought the case before the SUI
preme Court which declares it to be be-
yond the power of the Legislature to in
validate any marriage entered into by a
Californian outside the State, which would
be legal where performed by the laws
governing that place"
This seems to be sound reasoning. 1t
Is not a question as to whether divorced
persons should marry within year, or
whether it is right for such persons to
ever marry again. The moral right or
wrong OF the re-marriage of divorced per
kons was not in question. but the right
of California to set aside a marriage
which was legal under the laws of the
State in which it was contracted. This
case. by the way, in connection with the
law and the decision afford another ar
gument in favor of uniform marriage and
divorce laws throughout the Union.

JOHNSTON AND HIS PAPER

pays for every type set in 1t and every

The Com m ON Chord.

James Buckham, one of our minor
poets, put into beautiful verse an Incl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. He calls it THE Common Chord"
The incident was this: Two great ar
mics, one wearing the blue and one
the gray, were drawn up in prepara-
ton for battle. AS the evening fell the
bands began to play. Dixie" by the
southerners was followed by yankee
Doodle" by the northerners, and MA
ryland. My Maryland" drew out Hail
Columbia" Beautiful Girl Of the
South was answered by Just Before
the Battle, Mother" Each side mock
ed and jeered the others music and
cheered their own until the stars came
ont and silence fell.
Then, sweet and low, band far up
the line began to play Home. Sweet
Home" Another and another Joined
until all the bands on both sides were
playing in unison, and, stronger and
more beautiful STILL the men on both
sides were singing the words. The
common chord had been struck. and
the thousands of combatants were al
one with the sentiment, There's nc

ITALIAN VIOliNS.
The First "strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.

italian violins have not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. 1t was
not indeed till the beginning Of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their ma
tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner
u621-S3) was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclu-
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvette,
who had been q merchant before enter
ing the musical profession, came to
London, in 1888, he brought with him
some Instruments by Stradivari. The
result Of this endeavor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. 1t is almost beyond
belief. AS he could not get as much as
Is ($25) for violoncello he was Obliged
to send the instrument back to ltaly
for bad speculation. Five pounds FOR
a "Strad," and not IA single purchaser
to be found.
This incident in itself furnishes sutfl-
cient testimony to the Slavish following
Of the great German maker ana the

that period in favor of the high model

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.

The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by tile gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at side
table. In Elizabethan times at private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table, above the
salt, SO the chief guests could see the
Joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something Of this kind in the hab-
it which prevails at restaurants OF first
showing the game, poultry. ETC., to the
diners before carving. Thelplace which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right,
and they passed. from the. mental posi-
ton of carver to the occupiers of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.

How 1t Vas Observed by n Party Of

On their way between Ielriz and
'Ceheran the members of an expedition
sent to Pers1 by the German govern
nent to observet the transit Of Venus met
a solitary European lady riding in the
opposite direction, member OF the
English colony, who was as clever as
she was beautiful. Having been long
a resident in Persia, she was fearless
ly riding alone long way ahead OF her
caravan. The Germans marveled at
such an apparition in such a dreary
waste-wondered she wasn't afraid.
Wouldn't she let some of them stand
by until her servants and baggage
came up? No, she was quite ut ease,
and usually in her travels was far
ahead of her attendants, whose mules,
more heavily laden, could not keep her
pace.
"And now, gentlemen" she said,
"who are you, and where are you
bound for?"
They introduced each other. One was
the astronomer, another the photogra-
pher, another the archRclogist, the nat
| uralist, and so on, and they were going
to Ispahan to observe the transit OF
