HIS WIFE LEAVES HIM.

Buffalo, Dec. 10-Mrs. Ebert Hub
bard, wife of Fra Elbertus Hubbard,
the noted Roycrofter, has left her hus-
band and temporarily is making her
home i'll this city with Hubbard S
wealthy sister, Mrs. John d. Larkin,
of North street, wife of the million
aire soap manufacturer Mrs. Hubbard
has been in Buffalo for several days.
She went back to East Aurora for a
short stay, but relatives say he will
leave there next week, never to re-
turn. The Hubbard's have not lived
together for more than year He has
had apartments in his Roycroft work
shop. Mrs. Hubbard and their three
boys have been living in the beautiful
family home on Grove street, East
Aurora.
Before her marriage Mrs. Hubbard
was Bertha @. Crawford of Bloom
ington, Ill. She is still young WON
an, beautiful and accomplished. Hub
bard met her while lecturing in the
Illinois town. Her husband says she
is not Philistine and cannot enter
into sympathy with the life of the
Roycroft shops, which is one of plain
ness, simplicity and work. She OBJ
Jects, too, to the emi-communal life,
protesting against such features as
giving work to ex-convicts and unfort-
innate women; that their differences
are purely those of temperament and
his wife mot be blamed for her
likes and dislites; but that she is "a
thoroughly honest and conscientious
woman.
Fra Elbertus, who calls himself a
graduate OF the University of Hard
Knocks, says he has made several
hundred thousand dollars in the past
seven years. Mrs. Hubbard has made
no statements for publication.

then, the poor old Central Vermont
railroad has merely shuttle train,
from Montpelier Junction, upon which
it is not "a luxury to ride; while the
Montpelier and Wells River is by no
means highway glistening with pala
tial rolling-stock.
But it is not to be expected that
Montpelier will "give up" without a
struggle. If the pressure continues
from term to term, as it no doubt
will, the conflict will form an inter
esting study of human nature and arts.

bill incorporating railway shall pass
unamended. Senator Spencer said the
bill provides for paying 80 Italian la
borers on original road. There were
claims amounting to $74, 600 which
new road should pay. The laborers
would not get their pay in any other
way. Senator Emery said this bill if
it becomes a law would be unconstitu-
tional. The claims are valid but the
Legislature has no right to unload old
debts of defunct railway company
on to the new road. Senator Sutton
said a Boston banker had bought the
Italian claims and they were settled
Senator Spencer denied this. Banker
was acting as agent. Senator Emery
said claims for $54, 600 are now before
United States court and will be col
lected in regular way before that
court. Bill killed.

Corporation tax. 438, chang
ing present methods of collecting the
tax. Mr.. Gale of Guilford moved to
amend by making tax ON railroads
one and one-half per cent. instead of
seven-tenths of one per cent. -
Mr.. Dart of Springfield, explained
the deliberate action of the commit
tee in preparing this bill. The idea
was to equalize the taxes as nearly as
possible. The bill changes the tax in
only two or three cases. One object
is to facilitate the work of the tax
commissioner, and to discover if there
was any necessity for an increase in
the corporation taxes. While the
exemptions throughout the State
amount to 60 per cent of the whole
property, the railroads have no ex-
emption whatever. He referred to
existing prejudice against the rail-
roads, and said he had himself been
prejudiced until he had looked the
matter up carefully and found that
the inequality claimed did not exist
If this bill goes through we shall not
need State tax. He didn t want to
go home with State tax. He gave
figures to show the small net earnings
of the roads, and did not favor in
creasing their taxes. The bill makes
the Savings bank exemption $4,000 in
stead of $500; in respect of this ex-
emption Mr.. Fletcher of Cavendish
said that money was elusive, and that
increasing the limit to $4,000 as pro-
posed would mean the addition of
large sums to the tax revenues which
would otherwise escape taxation al
together Mr.. Gale amendment was
lost, yeas 81, nays, 1876.
Mr. Carpenter of Middletown
Springs objected to the proposed tele-
phone tax, as discriminatory against
the small companies, requiring them
to pay higher taxes proportionately
He moved to amend all companies
same rates. Mr.. Dart said the tax COM
missioner recommends the proposed
tax. A minimum of $15 is also pro-
posed. The amendment was agreed
to, yeas, rs, nays, 33.
Mr.. Gale moved to amend by keep
ing the Savings bank deposit limit at
$500 instead of $4,000. Lost.

THE FINDING OF HONEY.
4 question That Has Engaged the
Attention of Learned Jurists
for Long Time.

Writing on laws relating 10 the and
ing Of honey. r. d. Fisher in Clean
ings says: There was a sort Of code
among bee-hunters in the earlier DAYS
Of this country, and is said 10 have
been generally observed. Il was TO
the effect that when bee tree was
located and marked with the initials
of the finder, his rights were prima
facie, and zealously observed But
this code did not hold good in law.
especially against those holding n in
terest in the land.
IF person finds bee-tree contain
ing honey. or hive OF bees on an
others land. and marks il at once with
his initials, he does not reclaim the
bees and vest the exclusive property or
the bees or honey in himself. a.
against one OF the heirs having an in
terest in the land; nor does he acquire
the right 10 bring in the courts the
usual action Of irespass against the
heir for cutting down the tree and car
rying away the bees and honey" saws
the New York supreme court in the
case Of Gillet vs. Mason.
An early and noted case is reported
in l (RooD Conn. Goodwin sued Mer-
rill for cutting down tree in The
forest that had a swarm of bees in il.
and taking the honey which he Good
VIM had previously discovered. Mer-
rill plead hat said bees were a swarm
from Ms hive; that he had frequent
~ "liued" them to near said tree. and
that said bees we're his property. The
plaintiff replied that he found them
wild in the woods. and had good right
to take them. The trial court gave the
plaintiff judgment Of 30 shlIiugs dam
age.
The supreme court reversed this
judgment, and said: a mans ind
ing bees in q tree standing upon an
other mans land gives him no right
either TO the tree or bee: and a
swarm Of bees going from hive. if
they can be followed and known. are
not lost to the owner. but may be re-
claimed"
A. early a 1904 the New Hampshire
supfeme court held that one who finds
a swarm of bees in a tree on another's
land, marks the tree with his initials.

ANCIENT JEWISH CUSTOM.
A Pillow of Earth and a Broken Plate
Figure in the Mortuary Rites
of the Orthodox.

One branch of the orthodox Jews
still keeps Up the custom which
seems more than 80 centuries old
Il IS the laying of dead mans head
upon a pillow filled with earth. and
placing upon his face Of an earthen
plate or saucer broken into three
pieces. one for the nose and one for
each eve says the New York Even
ing Post. Where family IS very
wealthy the earth IS brought from
the Holy Land. and the mortuary
plate from a potter's kiln not far
from Jerusalem. II is made Of a
reddish clay. and Is similar TO those
now Dug up By the Palestine explora-
ton fund laborers. To make the pill

the well-to-do who follow out the
old customs are few in number and
the majority OF the faithful are not
blessed with an excess of worldly
goods.
For them he has clean earth taken
from a field OF growing grain and
plates made in some pottery not far
from the city. There is no ser rule
respecting the earth. IT may be laid

the dead man. and so form the nil

through many generations. 1t for
