AMERICAN VS.. ENGLISH HUS-
BANDS

BANDO.
"The burning question of the hour
in London" said Mrs. Jane B. Ad-
ans, an American lecturer, who has
lust returned from abroad, and who
who is at the Hotel Prince George,

THE London newspapers have been
printing many columns of editorials
and letters from men and women on
the subject 1t may be some salts
faction to our American wives and
brides-elect to know that the Eng
lish women who have been writing to
the editors have, as a rule, run the
English husband down and held the
American husband up as model
companion, protector and father.
English women of means who
have married Americans say they find
their husbands are lot trying to get
them to sign over their property. The
Englishman, it appears, who marries
a woman with money is never salts
fed until he has absolute possession
of the fortune.
at comes out also that the Eng
lishman is very stingy with his wife
and seldom allows her any margin
of shopping money, while the English
wife who has asked about the matter
Of American wives says she has found
out the case is quite reversed on this
side of the water, where the wife
usually allows the husband only a
small margin for treatir purposes.
1.-THE American woman, If she IS
wise, say the English wives, saves
something from the mans earnings,
while the Englishman never saves
much himself and never gives his wife
a chance to do so. From these &C.
counts it would appear our American
wives have much to be thankful for
in their husbands, and If all the
things which the English women be-
lieve to be true of American husbands
are true our wives have little to COM
plain of. "-New York Telegram.

Remorse Kills A Cow.

In a spasm Of remorse, following
a protracted debauch, Brown Bess,
hitherto best behaved cow in the
herd of ]. A. Peter, of Macedonia,
committed suicide by drowning.
Brown Bess had gorged herself in
an orchard, the ground of which was
covered with partially decayed ap-
pies. Around and around the pas
ture she ran, mooing hilariously, and
scandalizing all the other animals.
Occasionally she fell in heap, but
staggered up again. Toward even
ing, presumably experiencing the
first pangs of headache, she walked
to the steep banks Of the Pequabuck
River and hurled herself over the
brink.-New York World.

Wedding Dinner For 80 Cost $500.

Wedding Dinner For 80 Cost $500.
During the forenoon of the second
day of the recent regatta, a we'll
dressed man entered a Commercial
Street cafe, and informed the pro-
prietor that he was to be married
early in the afternoon, and desired
to give a wedding dinner to 80 per-
sons at o'clock. At first he was
told that the regatta rush Of visitors
would interfere with such an under
taking, but he insisted that he be
given the accommodations, and the
proprietor agreed to accommodate
him. A table, beautifully decorated
with flowers, was arranged, and spec
ial walters assigned to it. The groom
had said that all would order when
they arrived at the table, and at the
appointed time, when the party had
seated themselves, the host ordered
coffee and cake for them all, which
they took one hour to consume. The
happy husband then gave the much
chagrined proprietor $500 and left

thus: Dear Papa-We children are

we all got wet. Many children here
are sick with mumps. Mr.. Higgins
fell off the wagon and broke his rib,

THE BRITISH BARNARD.

From New York comes a splendid

British bagman" 1t is further

the younger Grossmith a notice as

the document to the proper quarter,
with the following note written
across it: 81 am glad OF learn my
