SWEETHEART'S BLACK EYES.

When John Dechardt BACKED both eyes of his fancee, Antonio
LADDERS, she had him arrested, but it is doubtful whether the engagement
will be broken and that their married life will not be more happy because
John asserted his supremacy in advance. Of course, he should not have
blackened his sweethearts eyes, but he explained this by recitng the
provocation he had, in that she had gone to 4 picnic without telling him
anything about it, and that he did not really hit her, but only impaired
ga quiet little poke in one eye and a quiet little poke in the other"
This is not intended to be an argument for men beating either their
wives or their sweehearts, but it is suggested that the thousands of
divorce cases of which the testimony is on file contain a very small per-
centage where the woman has sought a separation OF a divorce upon the
ground of real genuine physical cruelty.
There are many more women whose married lives have been spoiled
by their husbands allowing them to do as they pleased until, as in a
recent divorce suit, the woman plaintiffs ground wa, that her husband
had no spirit and always humored her. No woman, or man either, for
that matter, is happy if she always has her own way. Life pals through
petty safety. Nagging follows to test whether there is a point beyond
which masculine patience and submission will endure. That proper
respect which is essential to welLorganized married life departs.
Mental brutality does women as a class no good. Physical fore:
temporarily used at times should have an excellent effect in straightenins
out certain household difficulties.
1t will be valuable to watch the divorce records of the next few
years to see whether Dechardt vs.. Dechardt appears on the calendar.

The Cost of Killing.

CAPITAL punishment came near TO
being abolished the other day In
~ Franco on account of the expense,
and the cost of the institution does
seem rather high. The chief execution
err draws a salary of $1,000 n year. lie
has two first-class assistants. each
drawing $500 a year. and three second
class assistants. each drawing 5000 a
year. In addition to this the execu-
toner draws $3.50 and each assistant
draws Sl.60 a day for expenses when
operating IN the provinces, while the
stabllng Of the g%uilotine costs $500 4
year, and an Algerian executioner is
paid at the same figure as his Partisan
colleague.

EAT LESS.

Eat less. The main cause of many summer diseases is the super
abundance of food which the majority of people eat and the failure 10
adjust their diet to suit the conditions of the weather and of their oru-
patton. The body does not thrive on the amount of food which goes
down the throat, but on the quantity ofsnourshment which is asSinlhated
by the digestive organs. IN
More men starve to death through eating too much than from eating
too little. A heavy meat diet taxes the energy of the digestive machinery
to get rid of what has been unloaded upon it and leaves too little effort
remaining for the assimilation of necessary nourShment. During the
winter the fuel consumed in keeping the body warm helps to burn up
the unnecessary food, but in the summer, when the temperature OF the
air approaches that of the blood, the surplus food is a dead load, whose
burden falls on digestive organs enervaed by the heat and not aided by
physical exercise.
A welbalanced diet, more than abundant food, provides the neces-
sary nourShment. The amount of meat, fat and starch which is needed
in the summer time is really very small Fruit, green vegetables and
plenty of pure water meet the essential needs of existence better than
steak, potatoes and bread and butter. Beans, peas and cheese supply
assimiauve proteins better than meat. Salad oil with lettuce, tomatoes
and like vegetables answers the bodys requirements much better than
butter and lard.
The saving from a suitable summer diet is both in a lower cost of
food and in the freedom from doctors bills and in the increase in effective
bodily and mental energy.

The Strategy of Ants.

1 = derful intelligence of ants. One
day he observed a caterpillar crawling
along pursued by q crowd OF ants.
Every now and then one OF them would
manage to get on his back and give him
a bite; time after time the caterpillar
would stop and Selling hold OF the ant
would kill 1t. At last the caterpillar,
evidently sufo,ring from e~MhaustioS,
climbed up a stalk of grass tail first.
Here he was able to tackle his relent-
less pursuers one by one, for as each
ono approached him he seized 1t in his
Jaws and threw 1t off the stalk. The
ants soon saw that they We're getting
the worst of 1t, but not to be baffled in
their murderous intentions a recourse
to strategy. Gathering round the foot
of the stalk, they steadily set to work
to saw through It, which they succeeded
in doing In a very few minutes.
