ST. Petersburg, Dec 16.-The Sea of Azof is
disappearing. At Taganrog the waters have re-
ceded in the last five days that the bed of the

covering the town. Vessels are lying high and
dry. and great confusion prevails in the harbor.
Work in the factories has had to be reduced to
minimum, owing to lack OF water.

HOW sEABRookE SAVED MONEY
Good Advice That Friend Wired
Singing Comedian.

A good joke was played on Mr.. Sea.
brooke, who is singing in "A Chinese
Honeymoon" A friend in New York
telegraphed Seabrooke as follows: BE
sure and play Solitaire Tuesday"
The comedian isn't a horseman, but
he does not object to wagering his
weeks salary if he has a reasonable
assurance that he can double it. So
he left word with the call boy to get
him out early that he might play
Solitaire" at the best odds. In the
course Of the early morning Mr.. Sea-
brooke was called and he went blithe-
ly forth to find a bookmaker who
wished to be put out of the business.
From place to place he trudged, from
tlpster to tipster he went, inquiring
the possibility of placing a bet on Sol
itaire. But none knew the horse. and
all denied that such an animal was
scheduled to take part in the days
races. So after considerable trudging
Mr.. Seabrooke returned to his hotel,
mystified. Finally he decided to tele-
graph his friend:
There amt nc Solitaire" he wired,
humorously.
The reply read: "You don't know
the answer. l told you to play soil.

A WOMAN IN KENTUCKY.
She Now Has More Legal Rights Than
Her Husband.

Through an opinion handed down II
a divorce suit by Judge Toney OF
Louisville, Kentuckians, including the
legislators who adopted the measure
Yealize the revolutionary force OF the
statute recently adopted. The com
mon law is abolished.
It is true that under the enactment
the nan and wife are still one, but 1t
is obvious that it is the wife who is
the ruling authority. AS the judge eX-
presses 1t the gray mare is the better
horse"
If she have an estate and he none
he is a mere pensioner on her bounty
and may be kicked off the premises.
On the other hand, if he have property
1t is mainly hers.
The Judge mentions a wife of wealth
who is sailing on the Mediterranean
In her yacht and whose Louisville
mansion is in the Ear OF servants,
while the husband is in the county
a~lmshouse.
Although the wife in every case Is
entirely Independent of the husband
in the control Of her property, he is
responsible not only for her debts,
but also for any fines which may be
imposed upon her and for damages
in any SANDER or other legal action
against her.
While the husband "is not entitled
to her personal property, nor to her
rents, nor her earnings, nor anything
which Is hers, he is not ever allowed
to give her a mild Blackstonian chas-
tisement to keep her in a good humor,"
dolefully declares the Judge, who is
obviously appalled, and mortified by
the situation.
For many years 1t has been only in
Kentucky and some other southern
states that the views of the Old Tes-
lament partriarchs and of the early
church have continued to be veneer
ated. With the sweeping away Of the
common law in that section the hus-
band ceases to be anything more than
a source Of revenue, in a legal sense

The Declaration
OF Independence
You have all read the Declaration of

You have all read the Declaration OF
Independence, | suppose. 1t is print
ed on fine type in the back of the
Child's History, and at the top of the
names signed at the end to show how
they wrote them is John Hancock's
dig and bold, the way a person would
write if he were doing it with a burnt
match. Papa used to gather us to-
gether in the parlor after breakfast
every Fourth Of July and read us parts
OF 1t and explain the long words, so
that we would understand what the
Fourth Of July was really for-that it
wasn't just to burn holes in your
Clothes, and brighten horses, and leave
stubs of fire crackers on the sidewalk
that don't get swept off for days. When
We children came to have our own
revolution against the g%overness that
time mamma and papa went away to
be gone two days, we knew just how to
go about 1t; and we wrote a Declare.
tion OF independence, copying it af.
ter b real true one, and then we all
signed u names at the bottom with
OA6 y iSACo, NAC way JOIlA I1dIlcOCk
and the others did.
We thought with all our preparation
success was sure, just as the patriots
OF '76 were successful as the reward
Of their daring, but alas!
Our governess' name was Georgiana
-Georgiana Saunders-which made it
an the o. appropriate, because the
name of the King about whom the orr
ginal Declaration was written was
George, as you probably know.
When we got the Declaration done,
Il was something like this-some Of the
language we took from the book and
some we made up ourselves:
When in the course of human events
It becomes necessary for something to
be done about it, and we can't stand it
any longer. The history of our present
governess is a history Of repeated in
~5uries and usurpations. To prove this
let facts be submitted to a candid
world.

twice a day, which is unnecessary as
well as wasteful.
