The Marital Grasshopper,

What is a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus.
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled to recuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as 'grasshoppers No
doubt the word is the husband of the
more familiar grass widow."-Lon.

Lazy Men Power Generators,

Learned Justice Belts of Kingston,
N Y, says: Lazy men have a right
to live" Our lazy men are our most
potent. History shows that as a rule,
with rules exceptions, our greatest
men had either indolent or shiftless
fathers, as fathers of Shakespeare,
Lincoln, Napoleon, Bismarck and other
worthless indicate. On the other hand,
great mems children are few and
far between. Power in lazy man is
accommodating, as in a coiled spring,
but the great man has little or nothing
left for offspring.-New York Times.
