Recent Transaction in England Gives
Rise to Bome Caustic Remarks
By Eastern Editor,
We are all in agreement upon the
general principle that however much
A mam may want a wife he ought not
to buy one. But at the same time we
do hear sometimes of the frank and
unaghamed purchase of a wife. Take,
for instance, a certain divorce case
that has been heard re cently in Eng-
land and that was deseribed by the
judge as an instance of wife- -buying,
whieh it ce srtdinly was. Mr. Mordnd
asked for a divorce from his wife on
the ground that the lady had given
the most unmistakable proofs of her
preference for a multimillionaire
named Captain Morrison. In a way it
was a friendly suit, since Captain
Morrison was willing to pay $27,500
damages and Morand was willing to
receive that sum. They were both in
agreement as to the value of the lady,
and the judge concurring, the divorce
was granted and the transaction com-
pleted.
Of course, the story is a rather die
gusting one, but we are disgusted not
because Captain Morrison bought a
woman, but because he bought a
woman who was already a wife. There

chase of a woman, since it is done
every day. Sometimes it {8 the man

ciations of young women who have

that $5,000 a year is the lowest price
at which they will sell themselves. —

CROPS IN JAPAN ARE SMALL
American Farmers Could Not Live On
Such 8canty Returns for His
Seed and Work.
Japan is such a mountainous coun
try that the area of arable land is
quite disproportionate to the size of
the whole empire. It is alleged that
barely 12 per cent of the entire sur
face can be cultivated, and that even
the cultivable part is not naturally
very fertile. Still there are large
tracts of wild moorland which might
easily be brought under cultivation, or
at least be converted into grazing
lands,
Where the farmer lives and labors
there are abundant evidences of his
diligence and self-sacrifice. Doubtless
the major part of the farming land is
lean soll. Still the judicious use of
fertilizers-——mostly night soil applied
in small quantities difect to the grow
ing plant; the elaborate and skilful
system of irrigation that gets full
value from every drop of water: the
laborious subsoil working—by hand In
the soft coze of the rice fields—and
the incisive weeding out to produce
better results in quantity than they
do. When the harvest is measured oy
bushels of rice, or wheat, or barley or
whatever else the hyakusho (farmer)
may raise, the thorough husbandman
of Europe or America would laugh at
the scanty crop. Land that ought to
yield at least twenty-five to thirty
bushels of rice to ‘the acre actually
gives less than ten on the average —

Never at a Loss.
The Earl of Morley, on his return
from Jamaica, remained a while in
New York, and at a dinner there he
told, apropos of self-confidence, a
story about a young English states
man,
“This youth,” lord Morley sald,
“ought to get on. He works hard and
nothing ever feazes him.
“He wanted recenfly to push a bill
that had little support from his own
party. A friend, however, said to him
in a warning voice:
“‘But suppose, my boy, this bill
should cause your party to throw you
overboard?
“'Well, in that case, old chap,’ he
replied, ‘I'm quite sure I'd have
strength enough to swim across to the
other side.”

Worthy Scottish Emblem.
The Order of the Thistle, of which
Lord Haldane, lord high chancellor
of Great Britain, is to be made a
knight, dates only from the last of
1703. Centuries earlier, however, the
thistle was the national badge of
Beotland, and the origin of its em.
blematic use is ascribed by tradition
to the Danish invasion of Scotland.
The invaders planned a night attack,
and, marching barefoot, had contrived
to creep close up to the Scottish
forces unobserved, when one of them
stepped on a thistle and uttered a ory
of pain. The alarm was given, and
the attack falled. Out of gratitude
the thistle was adopted as the insig
nia of Bootland,

SLAVE-HOLDING AMONG ANTS
Custom Has Long Been Known, and
Method of Procuring Such Ber
vants Shows I[rftelligence.
Many of the large ants are slave
holders, and curiously enough, the
slaves are almost black! When a
colony of ants requires slaves a reg-
ular army is formed, skirmishers are
thrown out and scouts are sent ahead
to discover a nest of black ants and
look over the ground. The invading
army Is composed entirely of warrior
ants, with powerful jaws, quite dif
ferent from the common workers.
When the nest of the intended vie-
tims 18 reached a flerce battle at once
takes place and many are killed and
wounded on both sides. The more |
powerful Invaders are always victori-
ous, however, and entering the nest |
of the vanquished blacks, they rob it
of eggs and pupae, which they carry
off to slavery in their own home. The

Good Idea.
Serial stories can be taken out and
bound. Any one who understands
bookbinding can get really beautiful
books in this way: but the woman
who does not understand this art can
cover pleces of pasteboard a little
larger than the magazine page with
cloth, carefully folded over and pasted
down on the wrong side about the
edges, the Inside of the cover made
neat by a square of cloth or paper
pasted over the edges of the covering
of the other side. Two of these cov-
ers, with half a dozen holes punched
half an inch from the back edges can
be fastened together over the story
by means of silk cords run through
neat corresponding holes in the pages
of the story.

“The law says a man can assign his
business to his wife and live in idle

debtor at Whitechapel (London) coun-

debt, saying his wife owned the busi
ness.
