MANS POCKETS SACRED.

In spite of a renaissance of activity
in behalf of "woman's rights" it is re-
assuring to the. masculine mind to
observe certain vague but unmistak-
able tendencies toward a proper rec
Ognition of some of his own privileges
which have been more or less obscured
of late years. One signal fire of hope
on mans Frightening horizon is the
decision of Circuit Judge Grimm of
st. Louis which denies the wife the
time honor5d prerogative of searching
her husbands pockets in those in
tervals of toll commonly dedicated to
sleep.
This st. Louis decision sets aside
and supersedes various other legal
dicta in which the wife has been al
lowed the right to rob her trusting
spouse clandestinely and at a time
when the financial reserves Were in an
exposed position upon an adjacent
chair. Judge Grimm was called to adj
jud:cate a divorce case Wherein the
husband complained bitterly that his
wife was in the habit of waiting with
feline patience until he was helpless
in the enfolding arms of MorphsUs
and then turning his pockets inside
out in eager hunt for the elusive two
Bit piece. In the morning he would
thrust his own hands into his rified
pockets, only to be struck by the
blighting fact that his change was
gone. In reciting the tale of his wrongs
the plaintiff said that even when he
hid his money under the bath tub his
alert and watchful wife found it and
confiscated all of it.
This husband appears to have been
the ordinary deluded kind that has
an abiding faith in his ability to hide
anything from this better half The
fact that he sneaked into the bath
room and thrust his wealth under the
bath tub goes to show his innocent
and truthful nature. If he had had
that hard experience which teaches a
man to give up without struggle he
would not have been disappointed and
forced to make his humiliating con-
fession in a divorce court. Most hus.
bands who are fairly broken to mat
rimonial harness realize that it is i'm
possible to hide anything in a hous,

How IL Hammered.

A peculiar accident happened in the
composing rooms Of the Morning
Union last evening".
The energetic reporters for the
morning paper duly covered" the an
nual election of the Commercial club
last night, and the copy" was turned
in and sent out to the composing
rooms. After the story had been
sent out, it was found necessary to
make a slight correction and a re-
porter went out and made the correc-
ton in the write-up. Then it was
that the accident occurred. Instead Of
putting the Commercial club STORY"

And yet who can measure the gOod
that may come from one horrible ex-,
ample.
My small niece Rosalie was the un-
whiting cause of this train of thought.
She came home from school yester-
day and after vigorous session at
the wash basin demanded nail file.
Now, we have all discussed the SUBJ
ject Of the desirability of clean hands
at much length with Rosalia, without
apparent results. We have spread our
own lily white and ostentatiouslJ
manicured hands before her, and
lauded them to the skies without
arousing any desire for emulation.
This sudden spontaneous anxiety on
her part for cleanliness was therefore
surprising, even alarming. Rosalie's
mother suggested the hypothesis of a
first love affair, but / argued that
lack of appetite and other such
symptoms were entirely missing, so
we appealed to headquarters for en-
lightenment.
New girl sat next to me at school,
explained Rosalie briefly, land her
hands were so dirty that they made a
mark on her geography book. Was
afraid I'd look at her."
Fear that I'd look like the round
shouldered. turtle necked person who
sat opposite me in the street car this
morning has made me straighten my
shoulders dozen times today. Three
straight -shouldered good examples in
my own home haven't done so much
for me in a month as that round
shouldered bad example in day.
1t is a good thing to have your eyes
wide open for bad examples.

to abstract the lessons from peoples

We have come to dote on modern
convenience" to such an extent that
we attach more Importance to the
hot-water faucet or the electric bell
under the dining-room table, than to
ventilation, or companionship with our
kind
For there are no tables worth the
name in the modern homes, and what
is the big family without the big ta-
BILE? So this question of companion
ship is largely matter of tables.
Time was when small, Uttered
house was a disgrace, and when Dick
ems wished to depict intense squalor
he pictured a room so small that Mrs
Pardiggle knocked over the furniture
with every swish of her dress. Now
adays, alas, Mrs. Pardiggle would find
abundant chance for damaging things.
In the average parlor or reception
room, actual breathing space is limit
ed. Where are the spaces which, of
old, could accommodate a square pi-
apo. life-size statue or bust?
Gone, with the dining table so big
that child could make her way
among the dishes upon it, and serve
And the wide library table around
which the family would gather to read
or talk or tell stories? All, do not
the diminishing tables prove also
diminishing family sociability? A
modern desire for the "free-lance"
life? The room of my own" and the
false idea of liberty? Perhaps, with
the loss of the great, roomy house, has
gone, too, some of the idea of family
Sinter-dependence. which is the founda-
tion of home life.

Milk for Babv.

A recent review ON Hygiene and
Health by the eminent Scharlieb. M
d., gives the opinion that health
workers'-those who make it a prac-
tice to help and visit the sick, should
cooperate with doctors and nurses in
their fight to preserve to the newborn
infant the natural milk of the mother.
To the growing habit of substituting
the bottle for the natural nursing func-
ton, the writer has strong words of
condemnation. For, to this practice is
largely attributed the increase in in
FAINT mortality, and pad health of the
mother, who is in danger of many i'll
nesses arising out of the omission of
the natural function.
AS a rule, the child should be nursed
for the first nine months at least The
exception to this is, of course, when
the mother is suffering from the eff
fects of overwork, or alcoholism, or is
a victim of tuberculosis.
The writer mentions the supreme
value of hot milk for the nursing
mother and where this is not obtain
able, hot water should be taken in
large quantities.
In connection with this it may be
stated that there is in England plan
afoot to make it illegal to employ in
workshop or factory any woman for
at least two months before and two
after the birth of child.

an Case of Fire"

An interesting decision was recent
ly rendered under the English law
The family of a domestic servant
who had lost her life by fire
while under her employers roof
was awarded a small jnsur-
ance compensation, to be paid by the
said employer. His honor, the Judge
was of the opinion that sleeping in a
room, inaccessible and in the third
story, land sharing it with an elderly
and inactive fellow-servant which
would enhance the danger, was duty
which the deceased owed to her EN-.
ployer," and he held that "the accident
by which the deceased lost her life did
arise both out of and in the course OF
her employment" and this entitled her
heirs to compensation.
