REASON WOMEN WEAR OUT
Through Mistaken Idea Of Duty She
Works on With Rare Periods
Of Relaxation.

Why do some women grow old
and others keep the secret of perpet-
ual youth? Here is one answer:
One reason why the average wom-
an wears out, grows plain before her
husband, is that, through a mistaken
idea Of duty, she lays out for herself
at the beginning of her married life
a scheme or plan Of duty and en-
ployment for her time, every hour
filed with work, with rare and short
periods of relaxation.
This she follows religiously for
years, feeling that she has done her
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes merely machine,
a thing without life of itself or vo-
litlon. She settles into rut and
goes round and round on the same
track everlastingly.
Can any woman keep brightness,
originality of thought or speech, or
even mere prettiness with such a
life? And without those things
how can she keep her husband and
growing children full Of loving ad-
ndration, which is the strong chain
by which she can bind them to her?
How bright and jolly the neighbours
wife seems when she calls. In nine
cases out of ten it is because the
surroundings and talk of your home
are variety to her, and rouse her to
originality and brightness of speech.
Cultivate broad attitude toward
the world and its people. Let your
interests be far-reaching, and there
will be renewed vigor when it comes
to solve the problem Of the home.

FOREIGN OWNERS Of LAND
Are Not Allowed In State Of Okiaho-
ma-Some States Limit an
Aliens Holdings.

Several states of the Union spc-
officially prohibit foreigners from
owning land within their borders.
In Oklahoma it is prohibited alto
gether. Other states allow natural
lied aliens to own land and those
who have declared their intention to
become so.
This is also the law in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Nevada makes
no restrictions as to foreigners cx-
cept Chinese, who are not permitted
to own land in thas state. Some of
the states, including Indiana and
Iowa, limit the amount of land an
alien may own to $50 acres.
In South Carolina the limit is 500
acres and in Pennsylvania 5000. In
New York and Texas the laws are
similar in their effect to the law re-
Gently passed by the Japanese diet.
This law restricts the ownership of
land in Japan to such foreigners as
come from a country which extends
similar privileges TO japanese resi-
dents, says Case and Comment. The
operation Of the japanese alien land
ownership law, it is said, will not
materially change the status of
Americans in Japan in the mstter
If land ownership. Under the terms
If the treaty of 1894 citizens of each
country may own or hire and occupy
houses, manufactures, warehouses,
shops and premises in the country
If the other and may lease land for
residential and commercial purposes,
put the treaty does not confer rights
TO own or hire agricultural lands.

j0HNS0N'S HOME FOR RENT
Opportunity for Admirer to Live In
House Where Famous Dictionary
Was Compiled.

DR.. Johnson's house in Cough
square is ITO let," and these is an
opportunity for an admirer to live
in the place where the dictionary or
most of it was actually compiled.
The doctor resided at Cough
square from 1748 to 1853, and we
know that the dictionary was begun
a year before the first date and pub
lished in 1855. At the top of the
house, which is large one, he had
room fitted up for his five or six
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye.
An interleaved copy Of Bailey's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
of his work, and he collected his au-
thorities by incessant reading, his
method being to score with black
lead pencil the words he selected.
The house has many melancholy
memories. Here Johnson's wife died
in 1852 and left him more than ever
prey to his natural gloom. And
here he was arrested for a paltry
debt of Is 1Ss. and taken to
sponging house in the neighborhood
Of Cursitor street.
But it was here also that his
struggles met with their reward, and
when in The last year of his tenancy

CONDEMNATION FEES CUT
One Commission Had Charged
S15 for Signing Names.
MRS. CECIL C. FITLER.

Justice Giegerich handed down three de-
cisions yesterday, curtailing the charges of
as many condemnation commissions. In
two Of the cases the Corporation Counsel.
who opposed the payment of the original
bills called the courts attention TO the
charges by the commissioners Of 50 each
for signing their names to the bills Of cost
One commission was composed of Michael
J. Egan. Anthony J. Oliver and Stanislaus
J. Banechek They asked for 1895 each, but
Justice Giegerich reduced these charges by
Sis each The court said regarding this
commission: 'I think the number Of ex-
ecutive sessions was clearly more than
necessary TO pass upon the testimony taken
relating to the small number of damage
parcels involved in the proceeding.
On another commission were James D.
McClelland, John A Wrede and William
Moores They asked for s415. $40 and S4lO,
respectively. They charged for three spe-
cfal meetings at the full rate of $40 each
which the Corporation Counsel said should
have been meetings at the half rate Of So
each. Justice Giegerich reduced their bills
$50 each.
Edward H. Nicoll Edward c. Hoyt and
John w Stocker, on the third commission,
nut in bills for 1895. $500 and Sl,145, respec-
lively. Justice Giegerich said he believed
forty executive sessions and thirty-hVe
views were sufficient for this commission
to have accomplished its work, and ordered
reductions accordingly. He also ordered
the deduction of the charge made by the
commissioners for signing the bills of costs.

CITY EMPLOYEES AFFECTED
Court Says Departments Have
Right to Cut Salaries.

Justice Oppenheimer, of the 9Th Dis
trict Municipal Court, has just handed
down a decision that, It IS said will ef-
feet saving Of about S250.0o0 TO the city
OF New York. The saving will be in suits
that were TO be brought against the city
by employees who had their salaries re-
duced owing to the insuffciency of the
appropriation in the departments to which
they We're assigned.
The case in which the decision was rem
dered, and which was test case, was the
suit Of Cornelius 3. Cosgrove, an employee
in the Department Of Charities at salary
OF $500 year, whose salary was reduced
to $50 year owing TO the insufrciency OF
the appropriation from December. 1905. TO
December, 1905. Cosgrove sued the city to
recover s162 so, with interest from jan
uary. 1906.
Justice Oppenheimer declared that the
power given the Commissioner OF Charities
to remove an officer by implication gives
him the power TO reduce his SALARY.
The want of sufficient appropriation
on the part OF the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment, which also recommends TO
the Board of Aldermen what the salary
shall be, seems to me to be an indirect or
implied authority conferred by the board
duce the salaries in order that they may
come within the amount appropriated, ~
said the justice.
The plaintiffs lawyer contended that
Cossrove should have been discharged and
not have had his salary reduced. and that
the reduction of the salary was Illegal
Regarding this contention, the justice SAYS
he believes that the Commissioner merely
contemplated temporary reduction Of the
plaintiffs salary.
