LEGAL INFORMATION.


The Supreme Court Of Iowa in Pierce
V. O'Neil, 100 Northwestern Reporter,
1852, holds that a sale in strict accor-
dance with the terms of a trust deed
in which the wife of the grantor had
not Joined was in effect judicial sale,
and that the dover rights OF the
grantor's wife were, therefore, barred.
The court says that the sale is juri-
cial one under the statutory provision
that trust deeds may be foreclosed In
accordance with their terms.
Whether a man is justified in break
ing marriage promise by the fact that
the woman is suffering from tubercu-
losis is raised in the case of Grover ".
Zook, 81 Pacific Reporter, 638, and the
Supreme Court of Washington comes to
the conclusion that in view of laws en-
acted for preventing the spread of con-
sumption, and on the ground Of public
policy, the breaking Of promise under
such conditions is justifable, even
though he knew that the woman was
infected with consumption at the time
the engagement was made.
The necessity of showing a trespass
in a prosecution for larceny is raised
in Topolewski V. State, 100 Northwest
ern Reporter, 1887. The accused
through a confederate had arranged to
obtain by criminal means the products
of a packing company, but the plan was
abandoned upon the confederate dis
closing it to the company. Subsequent
", however, a meeting was arranged
at the request of the company between
the confederate and the accused, and
the latter proposed that the former
should procure packages of meat to be
placed on the packing company's load
ing platform, and that the accused
would drive to the platform and re-
move the packages. This plan was car
ried out. The Supreme Court Of Wis
consin holds that under the facts the
accused was not guilty of larceny, rs
the element of trespass was wanting.

What a MANS BEARD Tells.

you can tell some of a mans habits
and read some of his traits Of charac-
ter from his beard,' said the old bar
Der. eff man spends his days at
desk beside a window his hair and
beard will grow faster on the side to-
ward the window. Plants and boards
both flourish under the influence Of
sunlight. Why, one Of my customers
found the effects of the side light so
pronounced that he changed his Office
desk to face the window. Another In
teresting fact is that, when a man Is
up late or working long hours, he needs
q shave oftener than If he took the
usual amount Of sleep. That's because
in being awake he keeps the vital proc
esses of his body In greater activity
than when asleep. The growth Of the
hair depends largely on the circulation
Of the blood, and the heart slows down
when we sleep."-Kansas City Star.

BREAKING UP A WASP NEST.
Insects Will All Go to Their Death
In q jug of Hot Water.

Insects VIII All Go to Their Death
In q jug of Hot Water.
Most people think of hornets and
yellow Jackets as strictly country prod
ucts, but as a fact the big vegetable
gardens in the southwestern part of the
city are very well supplied with both"
says st. Louis truck farmer.
"Of course at this season of the year
they give very little trouble, but in the
autumn, when fall blowing is in prog
ress, it is very common thing to turn
up nest of ground wasps, and then
there is a generally q runaway in two
directions, for the wasps are i'll tenn
pered when disturbed and attack both
the farmer and his horse; the latter
takes one direction and the farmer
makes tracks in another.
1T is a very easy matter to EXTERN
mate the wasps before beginning to
pillow, so when q gardener notices there
Is nest of them anywhere on his land
he prepares for them before he plows.
He takes common earthenware jug,
about half full of very hot water, sets
1t down close to the mouth of the
wasps' nest, puts on a pair Of gloves,
covers his head and neck with hand
kerchief under his hat, gives the nest
a poke with long pole and runs. The
angry wasps come out by hundreds,
and, seeing nothing unusual but the
Jug, they attack it with might and
main, diving down through the narrow
neck, apparently under the impression
that their enemy is hidden inside
"The hot water kills them, but those
that are not Immediately drowned keep
up tremendous buzzing, which seems
to eXasperate still further all the wasps
within hearing, and it looks as though
they can't get into the jug fast
enough. 1 have several times taken
more than a thousand drowned wasps
out of the jug after a raid, for so long
as a wasp is eft he makes for the
mouth Of the jug, and the whole nest
can be eXterminated in this way. 1t is
a queer Illustration OF stupidity on the
part Of an otherwise intelligent insect,
but the trick never fails."-St. Louis

Row and Arrow Fishing.

In the south seas and in various
groups of islands in the Indian ocean
the aborigines shoot fish with the bow
and arrow. The art is extremely diff
cult. as in taking aim at an object I'M
der water the archer has to allow for
refraction. If he were to aim directly
at the fish as he sees it, he would, OF
course. miss. Long practice has, how
ever. made the natives expert to a
wonderful degree in this sport-Lon-

OUR MAY-DAY.
Some English Customs that Have Not
Crossed the Sea.

Some English Customs that Have Not
Crossed the Sea.
The English May-day, sung by Eng
lish poets from Chaucer to Tennyson,
is associated with a score of graceful
customs Of which but two, the crown
ing Of the May-queen and the braiding
Of the May-pole, migrated to our shores,
and even these we abandon to children.
The morris-dancers, Jack In the green,
the placing of blooming boughs above
the house door, the maiden's quest for
identifying May-dew ere sunrise
of these crossed the water. Indeed, the
May-queen herself has never become
fully acclimatized. In New England
she surrenders frankly to circumstances
and holds court within doors, or does
so in the open air at her peril.
Even in New York, in Central Park
where the many child-queens and their
troops of little courtiers dotting the
wide lawns have annually, for many
years, afforded a charming spectacle,
shawls have often to be bundled over
muslin dresses, and the nose that needs
a handkerchief is to-morrow's sequel to
the brow that wore a crown.
Shall 1t be Whispered, also, that in
our large cities there are children for
whom the first of May breaths no watt
of poetry, but is known only as "mov-
ing day"
Only In the softer airs Of more south
ern states or in an especially favorable
season northward are many customs
Of the English May-day, which about
corresponds to the New England first
Of June, transferable with entire sue
cesA But there Is at least one such
traditional observance easily possible
anywhere and not uncommon-the pre-
sentation OF May baskets, either direct
ly, from friend to friend, or delight
full for the little folk to be hung
anonymously on dOor-knobs, with the
subsequent adventurous excitement Of
ringing the bell and running away.
A handful Of our exquisite Mayfow-
ers, a few fronds of wildwood fern
and hepaticas, or an elaborate basket
full OF rarer blossoms-each Is equally
significant, a seasonable recognition and
reminder, gracefully inviting a friend
to share in the joyOusness Of spring

Additional Particulars.

The raccoon had just remarked to
Davy Crockett, in coon dialect, that he
needn't shoot-he'd come down.
"All right" said Mr.. Crockett; ''but
let us keep this incident to ourselves.

actly what the President of the United
States will say about it, and don't want
to go down to history as the first Of the

Sunday night it was decidedly cold

killing fruit and damaging crops gen
