MODERN SOLOMCN ON BENCH. Ruling of a South American Justice in & Wife Desertion Case. A judicial decision which rivals some of Sancho Panza’s rulings in his island is reported from Valparaiso, in the correspondence of a German news paper. The case was that of the wife of a fisherman and coastwise sailor who was deserted by her husband shortly before the birth of their first child. The woman complained to the au thorities and the police were ordered to keep a lookout for the truant. They got him after a few months, and he was haled before the alcalde and con fronted with his wife, who carried the baby in her arms. The facts in t¥e case were undenia ble® the defendant did not attempt to deny them. It seemed as if nothing remained for the magistrate but to as sess the amount of alimony. He paused, however, and reflected solemnly for a while. Then he asked the young woman: “What was your occupation before you married this man?"” “lI was a servant girl, Excellency,” she replied. “And what used you to earn in those days?” “Ten pesos a month, sir.” “How have you supported yourselfl since your husband disappeared?” “Since the birth of my boy, Excel lency, I have taken a situation as a wet nurse.” “And what may be your wages in that position?” “Thirty pesos a month, your Honor.” “Ah so! Well, it seems to me the merits of this case are very plain. In becoming the husband of this young woman the prisoner has tripled her capacity for earning a livelihood. He has plainly conferred a great benefit upon her, for which it is~ only fitting that he should be compensated. I therefore rule that she shall pay him every month ten pesos byway of hon orarium; this still leaves her twice as well off as she was before marriage. Next case!” British Employes Protected. There is a feature of the British Workmen'’s Compensation act that shows the thoroughness of the legisla tion secured through the efforts of the labor members of parliament. Not only does the act provide for the pay ment of indemnity to mechanics and laborers in cases of damage by accl dent, but domestic servants are also included in the protected classes. According to the last census there are 1,641,154 female domestic servaats ifn Great Britain. The new legal re sponsibilities of mistresses aad other employers of these servants may be summarized as follows: In the event of death resulting from an accident the liability of the ém ployer is the payment of three years’ wages and an allowance for board, the total sum not to exceed $450. For temporary disablement, one-half the. wages and an allowance for board must be paid during,the period of in capacity. In the event of permanent disablement the provjsion is the same as in the case of temporary disable ment, even though the person disabied may be incapacitated from work for a lifetime of many years. The accident insurance companies are adjusting their premium rates on domestic servants to meet the condi tions. Another adjustment due to the passage of the act will be the collec tion of the insurance premiums from employers instead of from servants. The premium per employe per an aum in the domestic class will prob ably be $1.20, although doubtless re ductions will be given by some com panies apportioned in accordance with the surroundings of employment. Moods of the “Four Hundred.” ‘When yog begin to see the restau rants crowded to overflowing with smiling, chattering, well-dressed, rath er conspicuous looking parties and when from every other hansom a hand waves or a head bows, when you can not walk a block without meeting some friend or acquaintance, you might—if you do not know better—be sxcused for saying to yourself, “Ah, ah, town is filling up!” But not at all. These good people come from their country places for the day, or perhups the week if they are sufficiently inter ested. They may half-open their town houses, but they will tell you that they are ‘“picnicking.” They wear their prettiest clothes, manners and expres sions; they lunch and dine together; they are the observed of all observers at the Garden (where you quite as of ten hear a milliner exclaim, “That’s our hat in the box!” as a groom, “That’s our horse in the ring!”) and then, presto! they all vanish.

HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE. Left Thousands of Veterans with Kid ney Troubles. | The experience of David W. Martin, ® retired merchant ot Bol{y_ar. llp.. is just like thous ands of others. Mr. Martin says: “I think I have had kidney dis ease ever since the war. During an engagement :my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring the kidneys. I have been told I had a floating kidney. I had intense pain in the back, headaches and dizzy spells and the action of the bladder was very irregular. About three years ago I tried Doan’s Kidney Pills, and found such great relief that I continued, and inside a comparatively short time was entirely rid of kidney trouble.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Hardly What He Wanted. Albert Douglas, who will succeed Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the anext house, is not weighted down with worldly goods, and was rather startled by an experience he had while looking around Washington for quarters. At one of the good hotels he was shown a suite consisting of bedroom, parlor and bathroom. On inquiring the monthly rent he was informed “only SI,OOO for yourself and wife.” Recov ering his breath, which he managed to do without showing a tithe of his as tonishment, he said with great calm ness, “I'll write my wife all about the rooms and let her know beforehand what comforts we shall have when we come here to live. So until I hear from her you need not mark me for this suite. She may think from the price that your hotel is not the kind we ought to live in.” VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. Suffered Three Years—Physicians Did No Good—Perfectly Weli After Using Cuticura Remedies. “I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am prefectly well, the disease having left me entirely. 1 cannot resommend the Cuticura Remedies too highly to any one suffering with the disease that I have had.

One of the youngest assistants ever appointed by Vassar college is Miss Corliss Babson, who also has the dis tinction of being the champion woman high jumper. Miss Babson was re cently appointed assistant to Presi dent Taylor. A graduate of the class of 1905, Miss Babson made her wona erful jumping record in the class games of 1904, when she cleared the bar at four feet two and one-half inches, a full inch above the best pre vious record by a woman. Excellence in athletics, however, is not Miss Bab son’s only forte, for she secured the prize for the best class poem two years in succession. Stimulate the Blood. Brandreth’s Pills are the great blood purifier. They are a laxative and blood tonic, they act equally on the bow els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing the system by the natural outlet of the body. They stimulate the blood 80 to enable nature to throw off all morbid humors and cure all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. One or two taken every night will prove an invaluable remedy. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable 'products, make it a blood purifier unexcelled. Brandreth’s Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-ccated. The Motor Volice. The tennis elbow, the bicycle foot, the clergyman’s sore throat and all manner of disabilities that come from modern conveniences are familiar to us.
