sertion of a wife crime on the part of the
husband In New York man who deserts
his family is call a disorderly person aud may
be put under bonds. He belongs to a class
which, according to the returns of the United
Hebrew Charities, caused 5 per cent. of the
new applications for aid in 1892 In that same
year in Boston 81 per cent. of the appeals for
help came from deserted wives and children.

Ohio second and Pennsylvania third Missouri |
may have more acreage set to apples than any |
other state, but when it comes to filling barrels |
with the fruit, New York. Pennsylvania and |
Ohio can beat her three and four times over. |
