NAGG|NG OF WIFE NO

She May Even Exhibit Violent
Temper.
APPELLATE COURT RULING.

According to a decision of the APP
pellate court of Indiana, wife may
nag her husband to her hearts con-
tent. She may exhibit violent tenn
per and interfere with his schemes for
making money to the point of refus-
erty. She may do all these things
without being guilty of cruel and in
human treatment" This decision was
rendered in the case of Will G.. Hof-
man vs.. Hanna Hoffman of Orange
county, in which the former was
granted divorce. The appellate
court. however. reversed the action of
the lower court. Judge Rabb. who
rendered the opinion, said that if
standing by her rights to an interest
tai offense for which wife could be
divorced it would be better that the
law giving her such right be repeal
ed. Such is not the case, however"
said Judge Rabb. The marital rela-
ton is not to be cast aside on any
such trivial and insufficient grounds"

Veracity.

Some facetious sawmaker says,
"Once a fisherman, always liar!"
The attention of Grover Cleveland
and his verbose vocabulary not hav-
ing been called to this, we will say,
lust what is in us" to refute the
SANDER The small boy who was told
to write what he felt and Gust what
was in him" responded bravely with a
long list beginning with mince pie and
jam and ending with the stomach
ache. Ordinarily when man writes
lust what is in him" he does it from
the heart rather than the abdominal
regions, hence we say that the author
of the aforesaid calumny is either a
horse-thief or man who expectorates
in street cars He can take his choice.
Many a man has fished all day and
gone home sorrowful, hand in hand
with Truth Remember the story of
the boy who was caught Sunday morn
ing on the bank of the stream, by the
deacon, who cried out in horror:
Boy, boy, be'ant you 'shamed to
catch fish on Sunday"
And then Johnny replied, as truth
full as the seasons returning:
Whose ketching fish? l amt even
had 'er darned nibble!"
Once we caught CT fish before break
fast, had the fish photographed, with
ourselves in the background, took the
proof home with us, and the tarnal
doubters wanted to know what time
we had breakfast!
We had omitted having the break
fast and the morning photographed
and we had no affidavit from the fish
themselves.
The trouble is not with the fisher
man; the world is too suspicious. The
angler comes home laden with fins
and with no smell of "snake-bite"
about him-and the scouters gallop
up the road to meet him shouting:
How much did they cost you?"

Crime and Vice.
with the growing industrial disor-
der is associated startling recent In
crease in crime and vice. Suicides
have increased in the 10 years from
1885 to 1908 more than five times as
fast as the population. Murders and
homicides in the 20 years between
1885 and 1904 have increased more
than three times as fast as the popu-
lation. Even making allowance for the
greater fulness of recent records,
nearly 5000 suicides and 900 murders
occurring in 1904, and 10000 in l9Oo
is not q good record. Their growth
has been almost steady, showing 1t is
not the resultant of accidental causes,
but of some sinister evil in the nation,
which is steadily working increasing

"Of professional criminals, such as
burglars, footpads, gamblers and other
crooks, there are now known and es-
timated to be some 100000 in the
country, getting an average income
each of perhaps $1,000 a year, and
causing an additional national expense

questions whether any sensible per

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
Particular Way.

One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe, ac-
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of a drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample of his sound, con-
tented philosophy: III tell you what!
A man is mighty miserable If he amt
got nothin' to do, when he amt work
in at somethin'. know tive tried
both ways an l find that there amt
nothin' that makes a man more miser-
able than doin' nothin'. But, you
know, there's two kinds of work; one
of them is where a Teller goes to work
at six in the mornin' an works with
his hands till six at night. The other
is where a Teller sits around an thinks.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices today which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut Of sleeve or the
hang of skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag"

Lars r.e2 f.,a unions met With I'M

Churches Criticised.
After proving by statistics that re-
ligious conditions in the country are
not so good as formerly DR.. Bushnell
said:
"The reason of the present failure
of the churches is twofold-their
methods Sre antiquated and their
spirit is commercialized. The world
has become collective and longs Tor
true comradeship, while the churches
have remained individualistic and
have become timid and calculating
The world needs not prayers and
profits so much as justice and devoted
service. The tragic lack of security and
the community of life characteristic oil
| our times Is reflected not only IN the
infidelity of the churches but in the
growing infidelity in the homes OF the
land. Fifty years ago, taking the
country as a whole, there was not an
average of one divorce in 5O mar
riages. To-day there is an average Of
one divorce in about every ten mar
riages. During the ten years from
1895 to 1905 the number of absolute
divorces granted more than quad
rupled in Manhattan and the Bronx, II

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Faithist Community Latest Addition
to its Queer Sects.

The Falthist community which has
established a modest footing in Bal
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of man to
the glory and labors of the gods and
goddesses of the Etherian heavens is
the latest addition to the long list OF
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as the days OF
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick in more than
one joss-house. in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have mis-
sion in Islington, and in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects in
London there are at least 300, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples of Will
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manians, the followers of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists.

Move About . Little.

There is something impressive In

toll, says writer In the Youths Com
panion. But there is another point
Of view which deserves respect The
gad-about may be useless member
Of society, but the stay-at-home is
likely to be a narrow ONE. We find
ourselves on this little planet, with
its oceans and mountains and mighty
rivers and wide prairies. We know
not whence we came nor If we shall
ever pass this way again. Surely we
may do our task better in our own
appointed place if we look about the
world, feed our minds with the glo-
ries OF nature and discover how men
and women before us have lived their
lives and embodied their aspirations
in the great arts Of building and paint
ing and sculpture. The wheat field
and the ledger and the cooking stove
are facts of human life; but so are
the Cologne cathedral, the Sistine Ma
donna, the Canadian Rookeries and
