Supreme Court Justice Whitney this
week rung new change in on the
domestic relations law which is caus-
ing some husbands much uneasiness
Count Louis de Brauwere, German
nobleman who deserted his wife and
three children in 1904, asked the court
to dismiss a suit brought against him
by his wife to recover $3.50 for
money she has spent since that time
for her support and that of the chill
dren. The count objected to REIN.
bursting his wife on the ground that
the money she expected was her own.
Under these circumstances he did not
think he should be held liable for the
disposition she made Of it. In de-
Gliding against him the court laid down
the law that the count could not es-
cape the responsibility imposed upon
him by the statues Of supporting his
wife and family, because the money
used for this purpose was supplied by
his spouse out of her own funds, If
her husband failed to provide for her
she was entitled, the court said, to
recover from him any sums she laid
out for her maintenance just as much
as if she had borrowed the money
from some friend or secured credit.
The wife being entitled to the same
protection under the law as an out
slider, the justice held that the count
must yay her the amount claimed.

that now prey on humanity. One Of

providing the claim of scientific men
that unsanitary bedding Is the cource
of much of the worlds disease, and
that to efrectually eradicate it, science

There are no linen mattresses on

Commissioner of Health, has OF late
dispensed with the use Of mattresses
of all kinds in the city hospitals, en-
ploying blankets in their place for
want of something more sanitary.

There is a feeling among the heirs
of the late George Croker, son of the
late California multi-millionaire of the
same name, that they will succeed
in having set aside his gift of his
handsome New York house at Gath

Central Park, to Columbia University
The property is worth $1,0O0,OOO, and
il was Mr.. Crocker's desire that the
proceeds of it's sale should. be used
by Columbia for the study of tuber
culosis, from which he died The fee
of the property originally belonged
to the wife of the young Californian
who left him life interest in it. Some
time prior to his death, Croker in:

Custom house stories are always
interesting. The hero of this one,
a Swiss missionary, was returning
to Basle from South America, TAX
ing with him some skulls dis
covered in ancient Patagonian bury
ing places. At the frontier the au-
thorities insisted on inspecting his
trunk. They classified the skulls as
s'bones of animals" and demanded
duty at the rate of a penny a pound.
The missionary protested, and it
was presently agreed that as the
skulls were for scientific purposes
they must be allowed to enter with
out payment.
The only question was how to
classify them for the purposes of
the Swiss statistical bureau. This
problem was debated at great
length, but ultimately the skulls
went through as personal effects

THIS IS. A BIG COUNTRY.
One Man Travelled Away Out West as
Far as Boston.
TOR furnaces are the best.

The ideas of foreigners regarding
the size and characteristics of this
country do not seem to grow less
amusing with age, and the state
ment that in London there are peo-
pie who think New York is a city
Of Indians is not so farfetched as
some consider it.
The writer met at Long Branch
last summer and Englishwoman,
and a cultured Englishwoman at
that, who had gone there directly
after landing from steamer In
New York. Having casually men
toned that I was born in Brooklyn,
she remarked that she had met
some people named Henderson who
lived on Long Island and wondered
if I knew them. I asked in what
part of Long Island they lived, and
she naively answered, "Oh, down
near the business section!"
A young Englishman whose cous-
in is in the grain business in this
city came over to see his relative
and also to see something of the
country. One of the first places
suggested to him was Niagara falls,
and at train time the Englishman
presented himself minus oyercoat
and hand bag.
"Where's your grip?" asked his
cousin.
"Why, can't we run over and see
the falls and get back tonight? 2"
he asked.
On being assured that he could
not he began asking questions re-
garding distances and ended with,
'sHow big is this state?0 p
When he was told that it was
bigger than the whole of England
there were no fitting words to ex-
press his wonderment.
Another young Englishman came
to New York during a very warm
Indian summer. He spent week
there and then went on to Canada,
returning to New York in March
TO embark for England.

The Structure Of Ferns.

When Towering plants usually
make seed, that is generally the last
effort for plant life. The seed is
the beginning of the life of the new
plant. Ferns, however, only pro-
duce spores for reproductive pur-
poses. These spores germinate and
go through the same process subse-
quently that flowers 60 through in
the production of seeds. The
spores expand when the germinat-
ing time comes and form fiat,
green membrane. What are then
really the flowers appear on this
membrane. As a general rule after
these fern flowers have matured the
membrane dries up and disappears.
In one family Of ferns, however, ma
tives of New Holland, named platy-
cerium, this green blade is perma-
nent and continues to enlarge, be-
coming really a portion of the
plant. Every year a new blade is
formed, which spreads over the old
ones. The large plant is Of to-
tally different character, having the
fronds Of ordinary ferns.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES.
Discarded Ones Make Business For the
Old NEGATIVE Man.

There are people in every large
city who make a business Of buying
up old used Photographic plates,
cleaning and reselling them. They
get their supply mostly from the
photographers who make a special
ty Of commercial or newspaper H.
lustration. No one knows how many
thousands Of these squares of glass
are sold every week, but the num-
Der must be enormous In the aggre-
gate.
While it is the custom for pho
tographers to preserve carefully all
plates that they think may be Of fu-
ture value, they discard great
many more than they keep. A firm
Of newspaper photographers, for in
stance, will send out several men to
get pictures Of snow scenes or Of
spring in the suburbs or of summer
at the seaside. Each will bring back
half dozen views. Only three or
four will be selected as being worth
preserving. The other twenty or
thirty plates will be dumped into
big box with the other discards to
await the coming Of the glass man.
The average selling price for the
plate of ordinary size is So thou
sand. These plates cost the pho
tographer originally about so cents
a dozen. By means Of an acid bath
the dark covering is quickly remov-
ed, and the glass becomes as clear
as though it had never been used.
Some of these plates are sold to
manufacturers to be recoated with
the sensitive film and to be used
once more in photography. A far
greater number, however, are dis
posed Of to~dealers, who sell them
to people who are fond. of making
passe-partout pictures. Still more
find their way to greenhouse men
and those gardeners who have acres
of "cold frames," where vegetables
are propagated under glass. A few
are used as decorative or protective
features around flower beds in sub
urban estates. -Harper's Weekly.

Jules verne's Romance.

The story of Jules Verne's court
ship and marriage is a most roman
tic one. Verne was a shy young fell
low who had a great dislike to the
society Of women, and it was only
his affection for his brother which
led him to 60 to the latter's we'd
ding. Verne, however, arrived too
late and found that the whole bridal
party had left for the church with
the exception of the brides sister,
charming young widow, who ex-
planned the matter. The friendship
thus accidentally begun rapidly de-
veloped into a warmer feeling and
ended In marriage which may be
described as ideal.

A South Arabian Food Plant.

Jowari, tell, slender plant re-
sembling corn and headed with a
grain something like millet, is the
Abdali's chief crop. He feeds the
stalks to his camels and eats the
grain himself. Three crops year
are produced. Jowari requires lit
tie cultivation except wedding,
which the Abdali does by hand, and
when ripe he cuts it off close to the
ground with his hunting knife.
New shoots spring. up from the
roots to become the next crop. For
a camel load of about 125 pounds
he receives at Alden an average OF
2 rupees, or $64.88. A fair yearly
yield is twenty camel loads an acre.

Antiquity of Gold Leaf.

The origin Of the gold leaf, like
the first use Of gold itself, is lost in
the mists of antiquity. 1t is found,
for example, in connection with the
most ancient known mummies, hav-
ing been used for covering teeth,
tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes it is
also found on the coffins. Gold leaf
was also used on the tombs and
monuments Of ancient Egypt. The
process of making gold leaf has
thus been known since the eighth
century B. c. In the eleventh
century it seems to have attained
as high degree of perfection as
today. The gold leaf on some an
cient Grecian pottery indeed is as
thin as that now used.-Magazine
