HUSBAND IN NAME ONLY.
Curious Contract Between Couple Re
Gently Made in Berlin.

Here is a curious advertisement
which recently appeared in a Berlin
paper: "A distinguished lady desires
to marry genuine count; will pay
well for the title"
A few days after 1t appeared a
genuine count called on the "distin.
guished lady" who was a divorced
actress, and told her that, if they
could agree as to terms, he would be
most happy to marry her. He admit.
ted that his income was only 5000 a
year, and that, therefore, he was con.
stantly in need of money.
In a few minutes the two came to
an agreement, and a contract was
signed. The count will receive $500
on the day of the wedding, and as
soon as he receives it he will leave
his wife and never again approach
her. Moreover, he pledges himself to
give his wife, within two months after
their marriage ample cause for pro
curing a divorce from him, and she in
turn promises to pay him $4,000 on
the day when the divorce is granted.
This singular contract was drawn
by a lawyer, whose Office is in the
Friedricnstrasse, and is said to be per
| fectly valid.

Shah as Shopkeeper.

When a certain late shah of Per
sia became temporarily embarrassed
for money he had quite a unique meth
cd of filling his purse. He would &c
to the market, where, after examin
ing the shops, he would select one
and turning to the proprietor would
say will you take me in as a part
ner in your business for the day?'
The offer was, of course, eagerly ac
cepted. The shah would take his seal
near the shop entrance, and say to
his courtiers, whom he always tool
with him on these occasions: Nov
I'm the salesman. Who'll buy?" Tho
latter, not daring to refuse the offerI
of the royal merchant, set about clear
ing the shop of it's contents, paying
sometimes $3.50 for goods that were
not worth $50. No one was allowed
to beat down prices or to leave the
place without making purchases
When everything was sold the shall
had a list Of the cost price of eact
article made out, and Loyalty shared
with the shopkeeper the amount o.
the profit realized.-Pearson's Weekly

MYsoPHo5IA THE LATEST.

What This Learned Term Means to
the Great Majority.
The medical profession has con
ferred no small boom on many suffer
ers by inventing a Greek, or pseudo
Greek, term for their otherwise demo-
cratic complaints, says the London
Graphic. The last of these inventions
is recorded this week. The disease is
fussiness, and the medical name is
mysophobia. The mysophobe is he
who, when seated by his table, lifts
his glass to see if it is fingered, and
If he detects a smudge uses his nap
Kin to dispose of II. In short, myso-
phobia is the exaggeration of that re-
spect for cleanliness which convinced
Syengali of the madness of English
men when he surprised the Laird in
his matutinal tub. The lady in the
play who seized on everyone's watch
chcin and began rubbing it with cha
mois tcather was a mysophobe, and
the irritating man who begs your
pardon and picks some microscopic
piece - fun from your sleeve is an
orner The servant who insists on
dusting papers is another, and the dis
ease is widely prevalent among all
housekeepers in the spring Ii is nice
to know at last what 70 call it, but the
medical press is more inclined to sug-
gest scientific names than remedies.

George hartman was travelling west
for the rest and recreation he needed
after some years of absorption in
successful business in an eastern city
He had stopped over for a few days
in a Colorado town and was standing
on the platform of the railway sta
ton awaiting the arrival of the train
which was to carry him on his jour
ney farther west. The train was twen-
ty minutes late, and he was Willing

about him.
There was some commotion in front
of saloon near the station. A man
and a woman seemed to be strug.

loungers laughed and jeered.
Moved by curiosity the traveller
walked towards the saloon, and as
he drew near he heard the woman
pleading:
you've drunk enough, Jim. Please
come home"
At the sound of her voice hartman
stopped suddenly, and then on i'm
pulse hurried forward Making his
way through the crowd he saw
brutish-looking man-red-eyed and
bloated-and slatternly woman
holding to his arm and trying to
draw him away from the saloon. The
woman, it could be seen, had once
been beautiful, but she was now
pitiful wreck.

how much he abuses her."

Treats her like a Cog, and she
hangs to him like dog in spite Of
his cussedness, as If her salvation de-
pended on him."
Shofter shook himself free from the
woman and made his way unsteadily
into the saloon. The woman followed
him and others of the crowd went in.
Bartman also entered the saloon.

again and said,
Jim, you shant drink any more.
Come away"
Shofter turned fiercely and mutter-
ing an oath, struck her in the face.
To the astonishment of all Bart

with q welldirected blow felled the
drunkard to the floor. Then with his
hand at his hip, facing the people
who had crowded into the saloon, he

his action.
