sideboard," said the judge. 1T can be
said to the credit of the army that this
entire case has not developed one sim
gle case of drunkenness"
Speaking of the main cause of the
differences between the Taggarts, the
court stated: 1T appears that there
never was any dispute about financial
matters and that all the difficulty was
due to their relations With others"
The judge concluded: II will leave
the gross neglect and two charges of
adultery stand as the ground Of the
divorce, giving Captain Taggart the
divorce
The Taggart trial lasted seven
weeks. The case went to the court a
month ago. The suit was first start
ed in July, 1904, by Captain Taggart,
who filed petition for divorce, charg-
ing his wife with conduct unbecoming
a wife and alleging the excessive use
of intoXicants. Mrs. Taggart heard of
the proceedings in San Francisco sew
eral weeks later and Immediately
started for Wooster, the home of the
Taggarts, where she filed a counter
petition for divorce against Captain
Taggart on the grounds of cruelty and
neglect.
The case has been of exceptional in
terest because of statements during
the trial by Captain Taggart that the
use of intoxicants in the army was so
common as to be almost the custom.
A number of prominent army officers
were named in Captain Taggart's petit
ton as having been more or less the
cause of the domestic troubles between
Captain and Mrs. Taggart.

AN APT CONJUROR.
Little Ruse Saved Him from

How Il Little Ruse Saved Him from
Probable Death at Iorocco.
The troubles of France over the
Moroccan question recall the difficulty
into which a French conjurer got at
Fee in the time of the late sultan. He
was wandering about the country,
meeting with great success among the
Moors, when the sultan heard of his
skill and Immediately sent for him to
Fee. He was commanded to perform
before the court and the trick which
met with most success was that of the
two pigeons.
The conjurer produced a couple Of
pigeons. one white and the other black,
and, cutting off their heads, placed the
head of the white pigeon in the neck
Of the black one and liberated the two
birds, who few about the sultan, who
was much taken with this trick and at
once sent for two magnificent slaves,
one white and the other black, and or
dered the unhappy man to perform the
trick on them.
The conjurer knew that to refuse
would mean his own death, but ne was
equal to the occasion. He declared
that he could do the trick easily. but
that the magic weapons he had with
him were not strong enough for two
such big men. He therefore asked
leave to go and fetch the necessary
tools, promising to return and perform
the trick in few days time.
AS soon as he got to the coast he set
sail for France and took particular
care never to go near Morocco again.

Decline of Chiya1ry.


In the old days men dared not talk
roughly to women, or make remarks
about them in public places. A dozen
kinsmen or friends would be ready to
avenge the light remark or stop the
lying mouth, but to-day men say in
casual conversation things that would
have been fatal hundred years ago.
A man who will insult woman in any
way, either by rudeness or familiar
ity, will not feel any chastisement he
may receive quite like he would good
thrashing-and just to think, good
thrashings have gone out of style
with so many other good things.
Time was when to be woman was
as sure protection against rudeness or
harsh dealing as to have the big fist
referred to. But that time is past
Woman has fretted for equal rights
and almost gotten them. She must
now prepare to take what comes; to
have men talk to her as they do to
men. She has been crying for flair
treatment" and she will get it. If she
wants to meet man on equal footing,
let her put her traditions of ladyhood
in her pocket.-Juliet V. Strauss.

Among the Moors-

No visitor to Morocco has ever asked
himself what he was to do for euter-
tainment. There is sport of every
kind, from wild boar hunting down to
quail shooting; and further south one
may even shoot panthers and hyenas.
The lion does not begin until the Atlas
mountains are reached. Horses may
be hired in Tangier for about dol
lar and a half a day, including an
American saddle; and for the ladies
there are always comfortable mules
provided with any number of Arab
and slave servants.
The slave market, by the way, is
no longer one of the sights" of Tan
gier, since Christian influence long ago
abolished it. This does not mean, how
ever, that the slave trade is not car
ried on.
Indeed, the traveller lin the know"
may frequently see an old Arab mer-
chant leading round a negro boy and
girl by the ears from door to door,
and he will learn that these are all
that remain of an enormous slave cara
van. obtained by Arab raiders as far
south as the Niger and mysterious
Timbuctoo, in Central Africa.-Four-

"But you'll be able to find out where

Rules for Sewing.

The rule for frilling is one and a
quarter the length of the edge to be
trimmed.
In facing a sleeve turn it, and place
the facing inside the sleeve before
sewing it on.
Gathers should always be set on the
right side, but never with a needle;
use a large pin.
When sewing on button place the
knot on the right side of the cloth di-
rectly under the button.
In sewing a seam put the stitches
closely together, but lightly, into the
cloth, being careful not to pull the
thread tight as this causes the seam
to draw.
Always use when sewing, a double
thread for gathering and as fine a
thread and needle as the garment will
allow. When threading your needle
make the knot on the end broken from
