Geniuses Not Very successful in
~::s Choosing HeIpmates. 8
I Many great men had curious expe.
riences with their. wives. The poe,
Helne on the day after his marriage
drew up a will, in which he be-
qneathed all he possessed to his wife
on condition that she married again.
He desired, he said, that at least one
man should regret his death. Field
ing, the novelist, married q serving
maid. Sir Thomas More's wife
scolded him on the eve of his execu-
ton. Milton had trouble with both
of his wives, nor was his the monopo-
~ of the martyrdom. Hazlitt's wife
cared nothing for his ability. Her
temper was intense, and the tragedy
OF the unsympathetic played itself
to. the bitter end. Coleridge left his
wife and children without an apology
or farewell and never would zee
them again. Moliere at the age of
40 married an actress, aged II. She
ran away from him. Shelley married
an inkeeper's daughter. He soon de.
serted her and she committed sui
eide. 3, Alexander the Great used his
sword against women rather than for
them, and one of his favorite pas.
times was beating his wives with

FINED FOR CRUELTY TO FISH.
English Naturalist Punished for Lack
of Care.

English Naturalist Punished for Lack
Of Care.
A few weeks ago an officer of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals in England noticed as he
was passing by a naturalist's house
that some dead goldfish were floating
in globe which stood in one of the
windows. Making inquiries, he dis
covered that the water in the globe
had not been changed for several
days.
Knowing that this was sufficient
to cause death among the fish, he
made a formal charge of cruelty
against the naturalist. When the case
was called in court he produced as
witness professor of museum
of natural history, who testified that
goldfish could not live under such
conditions and that before dying they
would suffer much agony. The judge
was evidently impressed by this tes-
timony, for he promptly fined the
naturalist SO.

Risk Of Four Thousand Cellars.
A Boston clothing house was de-
stroyed by fire recently and in con-
neation with the adjustment of the
losses the representative of one of the
insurance companies interested dis
covered that the insured had a policy
for $4,000 which had been over
looked. Upon. making representations
to the firm the proprietor denied that
he had any such policy, and it was
only on the production of the books
OF the Queen, showing when the pre-
MUM had been paid, that he was con-
vinced that he was entitled to the sum
involved. Even then he declared that
the insurance concern had made a
mistake, but if it insisted that ne was
entitled to it he would consent to take
the money. The occurrence was so
exceptional that special interest has
been taken in the case, with the re-
suit that the firms credit will prob
ably be materially strengthened among
insurance men.

1t Makes Them Sneeze,

Among the many curious products
south Africa includes the "sneeze-
wood" tree, which takes it's name
from the fact that one cannot cut it
with saw without sneezing, as the
fine dust has exactly the effect of
snuff. Even in planning the wood it
will sometimes cause sneezing. No
insect, worm or barnacle will touch
it; it is very bitter to taste, and when
placed in water it will sink. The COL
or is light brown and the grain very
close and hard. For dock work, piers
or jetties it is useful timber, lasting
a long while under water.

Laying Out japanese Garden.

William Gould Brokaw, a New
York society man, is spending $25, 900
to put small Japanese garden in
his estate near Great Neck. Under a
French gardener he is employing sew.
enty skilled men on the plot, which is
to be only 200 feet square. It will
contain all of the rare trees, shrubs
and flowers native to Japan, and the
landscape design will be after the
Japanese models. There will be little
but expensive summer houses, tea
pagodas and shelters. The walks and
lanes will be winding, but all in an
exact system. The plans have not
all been made pubic, but Mr. Brokaw
expects to have the Japanese flower
garden completed in the early fall.

Edward Eqqieston's Creed,

Edward Eggleston's creed was,
'Never postpone your happiness for
a day, but exact of life that it shall,
if possible, pay you spot cash without
running in debt to the future" The
little proposition in this creed rem
ders it somewhat difficult to follow,
and then, too, there is more happiness
in lotting on what is to come. As
that little boy said when asked why
he looked so sorrowful, why,
haven't a single thing to lot upon!"
It is the "lotting,' the anticipation,
wherein the chief part of the Eegles-
ton "happiness'' lies.
