important Law Decision.

Communications between a husband
and wife who are living apart are not
privileged under the decision of the
supreme court of Maine in Holyoke
VS.. Holyoke's Estate. Chief Justice
Savage said: Confidential communi.
cations between husband wife are in
general strictly privileged. So rigid
is the rule that death of the communi-
eating party does not terminate the
privilege. The communications orig
mate in confidence. The privilege is
necessary to preserve the confidence
which is essential to the relation of
husband and wife. While there is some
contrariety of opinion as to what con
stitutes a confidential communication
there is none as to the privileges
when the confidence exists. But since
the rule is based upon the necessity of
preserving the confidence which must
exist in order to create and maintain
mutual happy relations and fulfill the
purposes of marriage we think it
should not apply when the parties are
living in separation, and especially, as
in this case, so living under articles
of separation, and the one making the
communication is actively hostile to
the other and is known to be SO. There
is no suggestion Of confidence in such
a relation. The parties are put on
their guard

Whu Cats on Messals

People often wonder why seafaring
men are SO fond Of taking cats with
them On a voyage. This is explained
by two circumstances. Marine insur-
ance does not cover damage done to
cargo by the depredations Of rats;
but if the owner of the damaged goods
can prove that ship was sent to sea
unfurnished with cat, he can recover
damages from the shipmaster. Again,
a ship found at sea with no living crea-
ture on board is considered a derelict,
and is forfeited to the admiralty, the
finders, or the king. 1t has often hap
pened that, after Z ship has been ab2n-
doned, some domestic ANIMAL dog,
or bird, or, most frequently, cat
has saved the vessel from being con-
sidered as a derelict

WOULD BE NO SECRETS
EXPERIMENTS MADE TO READ
DEAD MANS BRAIN.
If They Furnish Desired Results
World VIII Have to Be Placed on
Entirely Different Footing
Than Heretofore.

If eXperim entS now being made on
the brain of the late DR.. Maurice How
ard Richardson by his former scien
tifc associates should furnish the de-
sired results, this old world would
have to be placed on different foot
ing from any that it ever held before
whether for better or worse. The end
sought after is to read the thoughts
which they think leave a permanent
impression upon the brain in series
of definite lines. DR.. Richardson was
a firm believer in this theory, and 1t
was that it might be studied in his
own case that he made disposition OF
his brain in his will.
By analogy, at least, the idea pre-
sents features that rob it of absurd
ity The manner in which the steel
needle makes it's impression on the
wax cylinder of the photograph, and
the later reversal Of the operation for
the purpose of reproducing the mes

Of q possible process in the phenome,

translation,into speech or action. That
the similarity appealed to Mr.. Ed
ison himself seems more than proba
BILE, as he has in this, as in other
views, fully committed himself to a
wholly materalistic conception of life
If the theory, then, has even slight
kindred evidences in it's favor, the re-
searches now being carried on with
much secrecy may disclose uneXpect.
ed results. If the lines on the brain
should be found related to definite
thought impressions, their interpre-
tation is not beyond human powers
The same order of mind that wrested
the key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics
from the mutiIated Rosetta Stone may
possibly do as much from the brain of
a dead professor, bringing to light the
thoughts which he kept hidden even
from his own heart while in life.
Should this come about, however, it
is hardly necessary to speculate upon
the portentous changes that would be
wrought No man could hide himself
nor could any nation practice the arts
of diplomacy. No one could be led

speaks for ITSELF writes a Fla. man.
Il formerly drank so much coffee
that my nervous system was almost a
wreck" (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause it contains caffeine, the drug
found in coffee.) MY physician told
me to quit drinking it but l had to
have something, so l tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise 1 saw quite
a change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was a year ago and now
my nerves are steady and ! don't have
those bilious sick headaches which
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And 1 do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when l get up morn
ings. When Postum is boiled good
and strong, it is far better in taste
than coffee. Ny advice to coffee drink
ers is to try Postum and be con-
yinced."

Nose-Rlowino Drills,

A few years of school dental clinics
have made toothbrush drills a daily
familiar idea in many cities. 1t took
the Toronto public nurses, or rather
their supervisor, Lima L. Rogers, TO
originate another drill quite as unique
and Importance. Since last October the
school children of Toronto, in squads
Of 20, have practiced daily nose
blowing drills, and the effect on the
freshness of the atmosphere of the
school rooms has been so noticeable
that the teachers have become assid-
uous in seeing to it that no child comes
to school unprovided with a pocket
handkerchief. They often, indeed,
themselves, order the drills without
waiting for the coming of the nurse,
The effect Of the drill is perceptible
already on individual children, in
cases Of catarrh, and the doctors pre-
dict that it will have an appreciate
effect in time in lessening adenoids
and other throat and nose affections

Why Poison Ivy Poisons.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery
both to scientists and laymen; why
and with what manner it causes the Pc
culiar rash and irritating inflamma-
ton have puzzled both botanists and
physicians. At last the reason has
been discovered. Dr. Mirande OF Paris
read to the Academy of Sciences in
that city recently the results of his
study of the poisonous weed. Poison
ivy contains prussic acid. This is
found principally in the young leaves
and buds; in the older leaves there is
very little of it. In three and one
half ounces of young leaves there is
about quarter of a grain of the acid.
AS with other plants in which prussic
acid is found, the poisonous substance
does not exist in its perfect form, but
develops as soon as the leaves are
bruised, a chemical action being set
up through the union of an engine
with a glucosid.

Dame Partief. the Adve rtiser,

The following paragraph from an ar

protitably suggestive to those who
have wares to sell and are shy about
advertising them: when a goose lays
an egg," said Mr. Lang, she just wad-
dies off as if she was ashamed of it
because she is a goose. When a hen
lays an egg-ah she calls heaven and
earth to- witness it! The hen is a
naturaI-born advertiser. Hence the
demand for hens eggs exceed the
demand for goose eggs, and the hen
has all the business she can attend
to."-Youth's Companion
