Mrs. Katherine Clemens Gould got
her divorce from her husband sure
enough. but the poor woman was dis
appointed in the amount Of alimony
she received at the direction Of the
court. In her testimony che showed
that 1t cost her $4,000 per year to
dress, and the court allowed her but
$4,000 per year, $4,000 less than
Katherine. uses for her wardrobe.
question which arises in the mind Of
Mrs. Gould is how can she save any
thing out of that amount to buy some
thing to eat when it takes so much
to buy clothes. The court looked
with much leniency on the actions of
Mrs. Gould as they we're brought out
by the testimony Of her servants, and
rather thought the woman was Leing
placed in a false light, and that the
drinking proposition was rather over
drawn in her case. The American
home industry received a pretty hard
Jolt after the testimony in the Gould
case had been presented.

A Pair Of Poets.

Hearing a noise in the street before
bis house one morning, Robert Brown
Ing, the poet, went to his window and
saw great crowd gazing at some
Cinnamon in gorgeous costumes who
were just leaving their carriages to
mount his steps. Presently they were
announced as the Chinese minister at
the court Of st. James and his suit.
A solemn presentation having taken
place, Browning said to the Interpreter,
MAY ask to what am indebted for
the honor of his excellency's visit?"
The interpreter replied, "His excellen-
cy is a poet in his own country"
Thereupon the two poets shook hands
heartily. Browning then said, MAY
ask to what branch Of poetry his ex-
cellency devotes h1mself?' To which
the interpreter answered, "His excel
lency devotes himself to poetical enig-
mas" At this Browning, recognizing
fully the comic element in the situa-
hon, extended his hand most cordially,

When the Sun Grows Cold.

Or. Fridjof Nansen predicts the fate
Of the earth In the far distant future,
when the sun grows cold. The sim.
pie, low organisms, he says, will prob
ably live longest, until even they dis
appear. Finally, he says, all water on
the earth's surface will freeze and the
oceans will be transformed into ice to
the bottom. Some time later the car
bonic acid Of the atmosphere will be-.
gin to fall on the surface Of the earth
in the form Of snow. Some time after
that the temperature on the surface
will have reached about $50 degrees
below zero r. New oceans will then
be formed by the atmosphere being
turned into liquid, and the atmosphere
Of that future earth will be only by.
drogen and helium. The sun will go
through the same process. 1t will con-
t1nue in its way as dark star through

A Famous London Tavern.


The Mermaid was the name of. a "a
nous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign Of Queen Elizabeth. AL the
wit and talent Of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thors have made it the scene Of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare, Ben Johnson, Beaumont,
Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Donne and
others Of reverential memory. It was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin Of which Is
ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located in Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares, SO that It has
been often referred to In various ways.
The Mermaid in Bread street, the Mer-
maid In Friday street and the Mermaid
IN Cheap street were, however, all one
and the same. It was the nearest to
