English statute On Ladies.

Charlotte, Va, has recently discovered a queer old English statute still in existence in the law records of the old Dominion State, and now all of the Virginia papers are coming out with the comments. Tt was the same in 1e7Op' The statute was passed by the Eng fish Parliament in the year 1870, 236 years ago, and 1t indicates that some members of that august body of law makers had been disappointed in the selection of their better halves. At any rate they were guarding against being cheated in the future.
 The statute in question. the genuine ness of which Is vouched for by mem- bers of the Charlotte bar, follows:
 That all women, of whatever age, rank. degree, or profession, whether virgins, maids or widows, that shall from and after the passing of this act impose upon and betray into matrim5ny any of his Majesty,s male subjects, by scents, paints, comestics, washes, ar tifica1 teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays. hoops high-heeled shoes. or bolstered hips, shall incur the pen alty of the law now in force against witchcraft. sorcery and such like mis- demeanors and that the marriage, upon conviction. shall stand null and void.'
