Who Owns Woman's Hair?

There is nowadays virtually nothing
that wife can do for which she can
not make her husband pecuniarily re-
sponsible. Whatever happens he has al
ways got to pay her costs. And though
he leaves her at his peril, she can al
ways leave him at her pleasure; and the
law she can put in force to compel his
return to her is Of no use whatever to
compel her to return to him.
"When," benedict had occasion to
plead lately-"when 1 married her 1 be-
came in sense part proprietor Of her
hair" Now she had brought him before
the cadi on charge Of stealing that
same hair. If it had been the hair Of
her head and he had exercised it in the
course of business the charge Of steal
ing might perhaps have been unsus-
tanned. But she had bought the hair
with her own money and had been at
charges for making it up The husband
had, as the cadi pointed out, no claim
to the hair under the circumstances;
there was no part ownership, as there
might once have been considered to be,
in the product, and no right to raise
money on it. In point Of fact, the rela-
ton between husband and wife had come
to be such that there was only a com
initial for trial-Pall Mall Gazette.

Folly of Growing Old.

We grow old because we do not know
enough to keep young, just as we become
sick and diseased because we do not
know enough to keep well. Sickness is
a result Of ignorance and wrong think
ing. The time will come when man will
no more harbor thoughts that will make
him sick or weak than he would think
of putting his hands into fire. No man
can be sick if he always has right
thoughts and takes ordinary care of his
body. If he will think only youthful
thoughts he can maintain his youth far
beyond the usual period.
If you would 'be young when old, !"
adopt the sundial's motto-'I record none
but hours of sunshine" Never mind the
dark or Swallowed hours. Forget the
unpleasant, unhappy days: Remember
only the days of rich experiences; let the
others drop into oblivion.
1t is said that ''long livers are great
hopers." If you keep your hope bright
in spite Of discourage ments, and meet all
difficulties with cheerful face, it will
be very difficult for age to trace it's fur
rows on your brow. There is longevity
in eerfulneSS.-Success

Epidemic at Mendoza.

In speaking of the epidemic at Men
dota last spring the report says:
The state hospital has a population OF
about 600 people, and all the sewage is de-
Dosited in front of the hospital in Lake
Mendoza thus polluting the water and max
ing it offensive and unwholesome. IhiS
has been a nuisance, not only to the people
living along the shore of the lake, but II
has been very detrimental to the health,
comfort and welfare of the inmates of the
hospital By reason of the. sewage being
deposited in the lake, a typhoid fever cpl
demic has started and is still IN existence
at said institution. About forty-tWO people
have so far, been stricken with this dis
ease, and five persons have died, either di-
recfIy or indirectly of the fever. At the
hospital, lake water is used for washing,
sprinkling bathing and boiler purposes,
an artesian we'll. 1t was found however,
that as long any lake water was used
for any purpose, it was almost Impossible to
prevent patients from drinking it. A bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination shows that the lake
water is contaminated by typhoid fever
germs and that these germs extend con-
siderable distance into the lake.
SO long as the sewage is emptied into the
lake there will remain the danger of con
tracing typhoid fever from the use of lake
water, even though the institution Itself
may be supplied by artesian well water.
The existence Of sewage in the lake not
only units the water for use, but it units
the lake for boating and bathing purposes.
1t must also be remembered that all the ice
which supplies the institution must be taken
from this lake. If the water is unfit for
drinking purposes, the ice will be unfit also.
The need of the removal of this danger and
of the removal OF the nuisance which the
sewage creates in front of the hospital GER
tainly warrants, not only that this board
ask for an appropriation to construct
the necessary sewage plant, but that the
Legislature should willingly and unhesitat-
ingly make the necessary appropriations A
plant of this kind can be Installed at the
hospital at cost of not to exceed $1,000;
and the existence Of the typhoid fever
caused by the present system of sewerage
is sufficient argument to induce the Legisia-
ture to grant at once the necessary appro-

FACING WATER FAMINE.
Kenosha Intake Pipe Blocked
With Ice.
NO FIRE PROTECTION.
One Factory Closed Down and Others
May Follow-Over 300 Families
Are Now Affected.

Kenosha, Wis, Jan. Special /
The city of Kenosha is in the throes of q
water famine today, and it is feared that
it will be necessary to ship water into
the city for several days. Two Of the
large factories in the city have already
closed down, and it is feared that others
will be forced to close before the day is
ever.
Ice Blockades Pipe.
The famine is the result of ice bockad-
ing the intake pipe, and it may be sew
eral days before anything can be done.
During the morning the pressure i'll the
mains fell from 60 pounds to 10, and the
city is practically without fire protection.
Tug boats were sent out to attempt TO
clear the intake this morning. but it IS
feared that it is SO blocked that it will
require a change in the wind to carry
away the ice. The present pressure is
insufficient to carry the water to the out
skirts of the city and fully 300 families
are already without water.
Factories Close Down
The Chicago Brass company this morn
ing laid off 800 men on account of lack
of water and it is expected that the
Chicago-kenosha Hosiery company, en-
ploying 400 people, will be forced to
close this afternoon.
