Wesley ON WedIcck.

In an interesting little tract on "Mar-
riage" by John Wesley, the founder of
Methodism, all the duties of wife are
summed up in two rules namely, that
she must recognize herself as the in
ferior of her husband and that she
must behave as such. These were
John Wesley's theories and that his
practice may have been somewhat sim
liar is shown by the following sentence
from letter to his wife: "Be content
to be a private, insignificant person,
known and loved by God and me-"
John Wesley's opinions on this subiecI
were perhaps the fruit Of his expert
ence, but it is also possible that they
were cause rather than an effect, and
that the thorniness of his marital rela-
tons may have been in measure
traceable thereto.

Early Combines and Corners.

"Engrossing" was an Offense punish
able in England by fine and imprison-
ment, and the laws against it struck at
those-called ''engrossers" plan
ned to gain control over necessities,
such as grain or food stuffs in cOnsid-
cradle quantities, either by purchase or
otherwise, with the intention of raising
prices.

of enactments designed to prevent any
thing in the nature of what we know
as corner" or combine" "Regrat-
ing' was criminal 0tfense, and so was
''forestalling." The former consisted
of buying and selling the same day in
the same market or near it, and the
latter implied the purchase of merchan-
disc on the way to market or before
the hour at which the market COM
menced. with the intention of selling
at profit. while it was also ''forestall-
ing'' to circulate rumors calculated to
raise the prices Of commodities.
Though these laws have fallen into
desuetude, they were in force in our
grandfathers' time. At Preston for in
stance, there were prosecutions almost
up to the accession of Queen Victoria.

Poisonous Baby Snakes.

A Sarcastic RetOrt.

Some curious anecdotes are related OF
Hermann Zumpe the Wagnerian CON
ductor at Munich. He was we'll known
to be a spiritualist and believed that
the ghosts of dead composers inspired
his conducting Of their works. One day
Zumpe told another conductor of note
how Beethoven's spirit was present
during the performance of one of the
symphonies, and so pleased was the
ghost that after the end of the first
movement he exclaimed, eat lastv'

Energy Emanating from Radium.

Professor j J Thompsons latest
suggestion on the subject of the
source of the energy emanating from
radium in that there are a few atoms
in each mass ''in condition in which
stability ceases. and which pass into

they do very large quantities of en-
ergy." The energy of the radiations
of this substance is so great that one
