QUEER BIT OF EMoEAsH LAW
MAKING.

Queen Alexandra's curious legal posi-
ton IN the country over which she aids
King Edward to rule has often caused
amused comment By prominent English
lawyers. SO far ae her private business
affairs are concerned she Ia In the eyes
Of the law not a married woman. That
is to say every other woman in England
has as a markied woman the privilege
of making debts for which her husband
is legally responsible. But King Edward
cannot be held responsible for his wife's
debts and there are many other technical
points where Queen Alexandra's legal
responsibility differs from that of any
other woman in England. For instance
the King cannot be sued for debt either
of his own or his wife's making but the
Queen can be sued for debt and sum
moned into court to answer such pro-
ceedings. The idea involved in this bit
Of law making is that the king Is so
busy with his royal duties that he can
not be expected to keep an eye on the
private business concerns of the queen.
This status OF Enelands queen was de-
eided years ago and has not been before

SERVANTS sREAKAGES.

The breakage by servants Is one of the most vexed of household questions. Accidents will happen to the most careful of mortals, but. however acci-
 dental a breakage may be, the replace
 ment costs money, as children say. Nothing need be said of the annoy ance of seeing cherished object ly- ing in fragments: accidents must be endured. That maid has doubled her
 wages for the last month bv her
 breakages," said mistress recently. and that is certainly a logical way of viewing the matter.
 The mistress does not think that she should incur the expenditure of re- placements, except in rare instances, and the maid holds the breakages are incidental to the work, and that she should not be expected to pay for them. She is less able to do so than the mistress. Sometimes the mistress tries to decide that matter by herself, paying for certain things and insist ing that the maid should have the cost of others deducted from her wages, but no satisfactory result is attained when the maid loses a portion of her monthly earnings. In this dilemma some mutually satisfying system should be devised.
 A general breakage fund would be a
 good idea. Bank employees. cabmen. and many other classes of the com
 munity pay towards general fund for defraying various expenses. If one member has an accident. or meets with some other trouble that means a pay ment of money for repairs or compen- sation of some kind. the expenditure does not fall entirely on him, but comes out Of the general fund. If do- nestle servants were to contribute to such a fund, both mistress and maid would be relieved Of a constant sub
 ject of dispute. To make matters
 more equitable mistresses should also contribute on the principle now in force in Germany in connection with accidents to workpeople. The pay
 ment should be made monthly and
 should be in accordance with the wages.
 The objection to the above idea is that servants and mistresses would both be open to the temptation of
