HUSBANDS AS PROPERTY

Considerable satisfaction will be
felt by mankind generally at the
argument advanced by a married
woman in suit involving another
woman that a husband is property
to a wife and family, and to win
him away is nothing short of steal
ing"
So it is the husband and not the
wife that is the human chattel."
The admission controverts the theory
upheld through generations of fem
mist protest against the serfdom
imposed by man on his domestic
partner through unequal marriage
laws. The honest confession that
the contrary is the case has been Sc
cured at last, but at cost to femi-
nine consistency which may be ex-
pected to bring its proper rebuke
from every women's club in the
land. The fair plaintiff to secure
her own ends has proved false to
one Of the cherlShed principles OF
her sex.
But the truth is out. 1t is man
who is the chattel, possession of
whom is gained by the marriage
ceremony and the right, title and
interest to whom has been estab-
lished in suits for non-support or for
abandonment during marriage as
well as in alimony proceedings after
ward. His status as matrimonial
property has, to be sure, long been
a matter of Court record. But it
is gratifying to have the Courts up
held by the higher feminine opinion.
All the more interest for that -rea-
son will attach to the outcome of
the present action to have husbands
made subject to the laws which
safeguard other forms of property.

ODD TREES

From an exchange we CLEAN the
interesting information that in South
America there grows a rain tree.
This helpful tree exists in dry re-
gions, and the leaves condense the
moisture in the air and allow it to
exude from the trunk and branches
of the tree. One tree, it is said,
will irrigate half an acre of land.
The thunder tree, of Arizona, is
well known. Its leaves concentrate
the faintest sounds, and give them
out louder in a succession of thumps
and booms. These trees are great
ly favored by lovers of music, who
whistle through the branches and
thus produce later on full band of
music.
The wind tree. of North Dakota,
is one Of Natures wonders. The
foliage of the tree catches and con-
ceals every current of air which is
passing. Later the leaves give out
the current in amplified form. 1t
is said that branch may be torn
from the tree and hung over desk,
supplying a perfect natural fan,
which runs briskly for some hours.
The talking trees of Canada are
too well known to need mentioning.
These trees store I'D all the CONVEX
sation they hear, and when the
boughs are shaken they repeat it.
The lonely plains of Alberta are
rendered sociable by these trees,
which greet the traveller at intervals
of few miles.
The ink tree of India is well
known. This tree extracts certain
chemicals from the ground and
mingles them with others from the
air. In consequence, one wishing
to write a letter needs only to pull
a leaf-the leaves, by the way, are
ruled like paper-then break off
twig and sharpen it and use it as a
fountain pen.

The vacant chair in the class (of

absence, and silent warning of the
suddenness with which death may

After the service, the coffin was
opened and those who cared to take
a last look viewed the remains.
During the entire service many eyes
were bedimmed with tears and
hearts beat in sympathy for the

The services were continued at the
grave by reading a short portion of
the burial services for the dead.
This is the second death in two
years in the Sabbath school and both
