FAMILY DISPUTES.
How They Wers Once settled BY Fair
Fight In Court


In some parts Of Germany in days
gone by when the relations OF husband
and wife became strained so to speak
In other words, when ench returning
dny gave birth to new squabbles and
the mans hand WAS ns ready as the
woman's tongue-the couple were
brought before the magistrate. who.
after listening to recrimlnations, or
dered them to prepare for the ordeal
by battle. The man was placed In
cask. WHICH was then nearly filed with
sand. $50 that he was covered up to the
waist. In some towns n pit was kept
handy for the purpose. just as the
ducklng stool WAS kept on Bankside.
opposite st. Pnul's. When he was
thus half buried. the man received n
short stick for his right hand. while
his left hand was tied up across his
chest. He was thus one armed and
could only deliver his blows II his op-
ponent came near enough.
The lady put on linen garment, the
right sleeve OF which was heightened.
In the end was tied up stone. The
sleeve projected about twelve inches
beyond her hand. She had thus a for
midable weapon. but In order to use 1t
she had to get close to her enemy.
Now, observe the situation and the
chances If she succeeded In bringing
the stone down upon her husbands
head. she might knock him senseless;
she might even brain him. but In order
to do so she would expose herself to
the full blow OF his stick. The battle
might. in fact. be settled by n single
assault. But mark the crnftlness of
man. 1t was better to make woman
ridiculous than to knock her silly. Tho
husband. therefore. If he was philos-
opher. did not try to hit his wife. He
warded her blows with his stick. He
tried to catch the sleeve upon his stick.
Then the stone flew round and round.
and the lady was caught. She could not
move. and the victorious husband
dragged her. unwilling. head first into
his cask.-I.ondon Queen.

ENORMOUS VALUE OF REALTY IN
NEW YORK.

In his report to the mayor. President
of the Tax Board Lawson Purdy makes
this interesting comment on the land
values of New York city.
"The value of land. today in New
York city is so enormous that it is
hard to realize its amount without
some comparisons. The assessed
value of land alone, exclusive of i'm
provements in the city of New York,
Is greater than the assessed value Of
all the real estate, improvements in
cluded in the state of Pennsylvania
and nearly twice as great as the value
of all the real estate, including i'm
provements, in the state of New York
outside the city.
''The assessed value of the land for
six square miles of Manhattan in the
neighborhood of Central Park is great
er than the assessed value of all the
real estate in the state Of Missouri :
