MADE ILL
BY LEAKY
ROOF

A rather unusual case was submitted
to the appellate division OF the supreme
court today on demurrer TO the plaintns
declaration. Mary Collins is the plaintiff
and Aionzo Harrison OF Cumberland the
defendant.
The plaintiff was on Jan. in the en-
ploy OF the defendant as housekeeper to
care for the house In which defendant
resided. Under the terms OF the employ
ment the defendant agreed, the plaintin
claims to provide her with board ana
lodging and IL became the duty OF the
defendant, the plaintiff further declares,
to furnish her with proper shelter, blank
cts and bedding TO protect her WINE ls she
was sleeping and resting, from the coio'
damp and unclement weather.
During the continuation OF the employ
ment the roof over the room In which the
plaintiff slept fell out OF repair and as
result rain water leaked through the roof
and water from the melting snow per-
colated through the ceiling and walls.
The plaintiff gave notice TO the defend
ant OF the conditions and he, she claims.
promised to repair the roof. She relied
on this promise, but before the repairs
were made the plaintiff had contracted
rheumatism and other Ills.
The demurrer is founded on the grounds
that the declaration does not set forth
any duty the defendant owed the plain
tim that by remaining in the house and
sleeping the damp bed the plaintin as
sumed the risk and also because OF du-
plicity I'm stating two causes or action

the purpose OF entertaining the president
OF their international, Mr.. John Mulholland
whose headquarters are In Cleveland
Ohio
When It was learned that the president

most delightful that has been heard for
some time among the labor men. Presi-
dent Mulholland is one Of the ablest men
identified with labor In this country and
the welcome accorded him last night was
very fitting.

Iron Production.

The American Iron and Steel Associ-
alton has just issued its circular of
annual statistics regarding production
in the iron trade. 1t gives the output
of pig iron for 1902 as 1881 300 gross
tons, which agrees substantially with
the estimate recently published by the
Iron Age, and can safely be regarded
as an accurate figure. AS compared
with 1901, last years make of iron in
creased 1,942,900 tons,or 12h per cent,
while the second half of 1902 showed
an increase of 204, 200 tons over the
first half. Yet it will be remembered
that owing to the scarcity of fuel oc-
casioned by the coal strike a large
number of blast furnaces were COM
PEELED to shut down, and that it was
not really until July and the succeed
ing months that this began to affect
the outrun of iron. The conclusion
naturally follows that had it not been
for certain powerful obstacles-one of
which was the strike of the anthracite
miners and another the congestion of
freight traffic growing out of an insult
ficient equipment on the railroads.
the expansion of our iron product, in
stead of pursuing normal rate of
growth during the last 12 months,
would have been enormous and might
have been excessive. AS it is now,
production not only in pig iron but in
all other branches Of the iron and steel
industry is still held safely within the
limits of consumption.

one of the most persistent that If he
would ask her fifty years later she
would marry him. He waited loyalty
and faithfully for the fiftieth .anniver-
sary and she, too, kept her word.
A celebrated French artist who fell
in love in his student days, was told
by the maiden that she would never
marry so long as her mother lived.
They waited half century before
they were united.
Only two years ago g wealthy
maiden lady in Midland county pro-
vided a delightful sensation by marry
ing the curate of her parish church,
a young man exactly sixty years her
Junior. An astonishing feature of this
marriage was that as girl the aged
bride had been engaged to the curate's
grandfather, and perhaps it was the
memory of this ancient romance which
inspired q sentimental regard for the
youthful clergyman, who under other
conditions might have been her own
grandson.
Not long ago a maiden lady of over
seventy created considerable sensation
in the West country by marrying her
coachman. She promptly dissipated
any idea that it might be a match of
sentiment by settling an annuity on
her husband on condition that he never
came within twenty miles Of her house,
and by letting it be known that she
had only married in order to spite
her nephews and nieces with whose
conduct she was displeased and who
through her marriage would lose the
reversion of her estates. - New York

The average woman has a looking

woman who is looking in it sees her.

improvements are unnecessary.
In nine cases out of ten she does not
even trouble to take n side or back
view Of her head, but imagines that the
whole of her person IS looking as smart
and well-set as her looking-glass told
her she was.
A long mirror and hand-glass ought
to be a necessity of every well-dressed
woman, and it should invariably be
placed in the strongest possible light.
This may make her vince as the years
go by, but it will tend to make her
careful, and more apt to keep from
other people what the glass tells her.
Every woman has one side of her
face less pleasing than the other-as
a rule it is the right side-and woman
should make it her business to devote
time and trouble in coaXing and con-
tinual care, in order to make it as at
tractive as possible.

Novel Test for Office.

Persons aspiring to become bailiffs
at Alnwick, in Northumberland, Eng
land, have to go through a curious and
somewhat unpleasant ordeal. Before
the election the various candidates
ride up in body to horse pond. and
there, dismounting from their steeds,
plunge into the water and struggle as
best they may to the other side. The
music of brass band cheers them
during their struggles in the dirty
water. This ancient custom dates from
the reign of King John, who once paid
a visit to the town in 1910 and found
no fitting welcome prepared for him.
The blame of this state of unprepared-
ness was fastened on the luckless bail
iffs, who were promptly thrown into
the horse pond by royal command.

OLD MAIDS WHO MARRIED.

Long ago the silly odium that at
tached to old maidship disappeared
but even in the days when popular
notion made 4 spinster of forty hope

Miss Jane Hodgson. OF Stepney, Eng
land, was welded to Henry Hutton, of
the same place. An account of the
affair continues:
1.-THE bride, who had once been noted
for her beauty, and had, SO it is said
refused lovers by the score, had reach
ed her ninety second summer, and the
bridegroom, who had vainly offered
her his hand and heart seventy years
earlier, was two years older"
More remarkable was the wedding
of John Jackson and Annie Bates on
March %, 1876, the 101st birthday of
the bridegroom, who was three years
older than the bride. 1t was his fourth
marriage within two years, and 10000

LIGHTING OF A CHILD's ROOM.

The lighting of the child's room is a
very important matter from a sanitary
standpoint and also from one of con-
venience, writes Gardner c. Teall, in
Good Housekeeping. If gas is the illu-
minant it should never be left lighted
longer than is absolutely necessary. If
a night light is required, then little
night lamp should be procured, but
even then it is a pity that more moth
ers do not train their children to be ac-
customed to sleeping in a room with
out light. 1t is SO much l.iore
healthful. Where lamps are in use we
far too often see children squirting be-
cause the strong lamplight is directly
on line with their faces. Their elders
seldom stop to think Of this from their
superior heights. A light should never
be placed so that its rays flare into a
child's eyes. 1 think one of the most
prevalent causes for poor eyesight in
young children is this very negligence
on the part of their elders to provide
shaded lights in rooms where children
are sitting OF playing.
