where wives Rule Husbands.

In the valley of the Barca, in Abys-
slnia, there is a community where the
women, without holding meetings or
agitations of any kind, have enamel
pated themselves. All the women work
hard, while the men are idle; but, by
way of compensation, the house and all
1t contains belong to the wife. At the
least unkind word she turns the hus
band out at night, in storm OF rain, and
he cannot come back until he makes
amends by the gift of COW. The wife
considers It duty to abuse the hus-
band, and II she were weak enough to
show any love for him in life or grief
at his death she would be scorned by
her tribe. The wife, without any rea-
son, may strike her tent end go, taking
with her one-third Of the joint posses
sions. The husband, unless he is trav-
cling, may not live out OF his tent, but
his wife may go TO her parents for a
year and annul, for the time, her own
marriage.

on his family, attempted to kill his
wife here this morning, and few
minutes later cut his own throat and
will probably die.
About 10 o'clock this morning he
seized Mrs. Deveraux by the throat
with one hand and attempted to cut
her throat with razor, which he
held in his other hand. The lady.
however, was able to hold him away
until her cries attracted the attention
of a gentleman who was passing on
the opposite side Of the street. AZ
the approach of the stranger Deveraux
released the hold on his wife's throat
and began slashing his own with the
razor. A fearful cash was made
across his throat and his windpipe
almost severed. He cannot talk and
parties-who are attending him say
he cannot recover. Deputy House

charge. Beyond few bruises about

build a viaduct across the creek. thus ter
minating the improvement at point where
there would be no connection with the
roads beyond. In order to carry the i'm
provement further north to the Blagden
tract at 4th street road it would require
an additional amount of $4,000 or an APP
preparation in the aggregate of S1Jo,oo0.
'On the other hand, about $4,000 would
be sufficient to improve the street as far
north as Spring road. where it would con-
meet with the existing 18th street road
south of Piney branch.
