NO HELP FOR THE ILL-MATED.
More Liberal Dlverce Laws Ars
Frowned Upon by Austrian Public.
Sipping honey in his own flower
garden has made the average Aus
trian so contented that he is not giv
ing his unhappy brother in bondage
the slightest encouragement 111 his
agitation for a reform in the marriage
laws of the Empire.
A regular organization of men and
women who live separate from their
mates has long been one of the unique
Institutions of Vienna. They meet
with regularity, adopt resolutions, ar
range processions and send petitions
to the Diet, but with no success. Aus
tria is the most uncompromising foe
to divorce of all the Catholic coun
tries of Europe and the outlook for the
establishing of the great American
institution is next to hopeless for
those who have married and are
sorry.
In fact, the heir to the throne is
even more opposed to loose marriages
than the Emperor himself. During
the last four years live men in the im
mediate service of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand (the heir to the throne)
have been dismissed by him solely
because they could not live in peace
with their wives and obtained sepa
rations. The Archduke has an especi
ally enthusiastic ally in his wife, the
Duchess of Hohenberg. She is mar
ried to him morganatically and nat
urally feels safer in her position as
the time approaches when the Arch
duke will ascend the throne.
It cannot be denied that the move
ment for more liberal marriage and
divorce laws has a considerable fol
lowing. The movers succeeded in
having many broken-heart stories
printed in the more liberal papers,
hoping thereby to arouse public sym
pathy. To-day a man whose wife is
living in San Francisco with another
husband writes this story of hard
luck:
"I am a skilled furniture maker.
When I married my wife had only her
house linen for dowry. We lived to
gether twelve years, quarreling and
making up, as I am told many people
do.
"One day my wife and tiie best
workman in my shop disappeared. My
four children looked for their mother
all over the city and I tried to find
the man. Up to this time I had been
hopeful that she would come back
and ask to be taken in. but when I
opened the family safe I found that
tliey had taken 1,000 crowns which
we had saved to buy wood and tools.
"I was not able to hire a house
keeper and no respectable woman
would share my roof with me because
I was a married man. In desperation
1 gave up my independent position, sold
my house and went to work for a big
firm. My children were put to board
v.ith families —the girl went out to
service and the boys became common
day laborers, because I h-ad 110 longer
the chance to earn money enough to
give them a trade education.
"Two years after my wife left me
1 learned that she was in San Fran
cisco, and was married to the man
with whom she eloped. A divorce had
been obtained in Bakersfield. Cal.,
without my knowledge.
"The two are prospering, aud are
as happy as can be. I am a wreck,
physically aud financially, separated
from the mother of my children, who
had a right to expect a different fate
from that which has been theirs.
"If I could have obtained a real
separation from my runaway wife I
could have married again, and might
have made up for the loss of the
money she took, but the laws of Aus
tria say that I am still married to the
woman, while in America she is a re
spected wife of some one else."
Freak Treasury Bills.
Despite the careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, a number of
"freak" notes find their way into cir
culation from time to time. Such a
one was a note that once came to the
Sub-Treasury at New York. It had
the imprint of a twenty-dollar note 011
one side and of a ten 011 the other.
But inasmuch as the face showed the
figure twenty, S2O was the legal value
of the bill.
In most cases the "freak" bills that
have escaped the vigilance/ of the
bureau's officials are national bank
notes, which, like the regular Treas
ury notes, are printed there. As inti
mated already, the face value is al
ways recognized when the "freaks"
come to be cashed at any branch of
the Treasury. The imprint on the
back has no lawful status whatsoever.
The notes are printed In sheets.
Usually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are printed
one side at a time, so it can readily
be seen that the printer, in turning
over the sheet, might get it upside
down, and thus put a ten-dollar back
on the twenty-dollar note or a twenty
on the back of one of the tens. —Harp-

SLEEPING OUTt»ORS.
Appeals to the Imagination, but Ha 9
Its Drawbacks.
Sleeping outdoors is a practice
about which there is no such tiling as
] a lukewarm opinion. Either a per
! son thinks there is nothing like it or
I he couldn't be hired to do it. The
: thor of "Lorna Doone" states that a
j horse sleeps best, in a closed barn,
I and a good many people are like that.
1 What with the croaking of frogs, and
| the chirping of wakeful birds and the
; rustling of the trees, and other sounds
that nothing but a belief in ghosts
; can explain, night out in the open is
| not, in tiie opinion of such people, all
it's cracked up to be.
All the same, there's something at
tractive in the notion of being oxidized
while one sleeps, and nowadays there
are so many stories going about of
people' who were cured of whatever
ailed them by sleeping out of doors
| that, it seems worth trying. One mid
i die-aged woman who has just made a
great hit with a novel—her first —at-
j tributes her success to inspiration
! gained by sleeping out of doors. She
I has a cot on an open porch at her
home, up the Hudson, and there she
sleeps in all weathers. The porch has
a roof, and screens to be drawn when
it rains, but save in hard storms she
never draws them.
"When I slept indoors," she says,
| "I used so often to get up in the
morning feeling heavy and logy—per
| fectly Idealess. It never entered my
i head to write a book in those days.
1 always had my bedroom windows
open, but anybody who has slept out
of doors will tell you (hat no matter
j how wide your windows are opened it
I isn't the same thing at all.
How They Got Out.
Uncle lCphraim i. <i two hogs, which
he kept in a pt nit the rear en.l of his
little lot. They were of the "rassor-
J back" variety, and Hlr.i:o,;sn they were
fed bountifuiij .vith kitchen waste, it
i seemed impos.--.blc to put any fat on
! their attenuated frame-.-. One morn
- ing when he went out to iced them
| they were not there. They had disap- ,
peared, leaving no clue to uie manner :
in which they had m;.iie their escape.
"What's the matter, Uncle Kph?" '
j inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep
; dejection with which the old man was
looking down into the empty pen.
"My hawgs is done gone, sail," he
answered.
I "Stolen?"
"No. sah, I don't see 110 signs dat
1 anybody tuck 'em."
"Did they climb out over (he top?" j
; "No. (ley couldn't 'a' done dat."
"How do you think the got away?"
"Well, sah," said "ncie Kphraim,
"my 'pinion is dat deiu hawgs kind o'
raised deirsolves up 011 aidge an' eropo
through a crack."
Smoke-Detector.
A Scotchman, Mr. John Lowden, 1
has invented a "smoke tintometer," J
which, it is thought, may be of use in !
prosecuting cases of "smoke nuis- j
ance." It consists o!' a tube with a
single eyepiece and two object open- 1
ings. One of (iiese is clear, but the j
other contains a revolving diaphragm
in which are set Jive circles, one of 1
clear glass and the other four of tint- j
ed glasses corresponding with the
standard tints of a scientific "smoke j
chart." In examining smoke-defiled j
air the diaphragm is turned until the \
tinted glass coincides in darkness
' with the air seen through the clear j
■ aperture. The various glasses are
| systematically numbered, so that a
| glance suffices u> show the degree of
I defilement of the air.
WOMAN IN A BULL FIGHT.
Career of Music Hall Singer, Who Dis
guised Herself as a Man.
The police have arrested at Naples
a woman whose life is an extraordi
nary romance, according to the Lon- j
don Mirror.
Her name is Maria Maglieseo, and 1
she is a music hall singer by profes- j
! sion. She was born at Algiers, her j
father being a wealthy shipowner and i
her mother an Arab woman. After a
vagebond existence she disguised her
self in masculine attire and became a !
banderilla in Spanish bull fights, j
throwing darts at the bulls. One day j
she was badly injured and had to seek j
other means of livelihood. She be
came a lion tamer, but was terribly
mauled.
1 While at Nice, where she was sing
ing at a music ball, she bought for a
few shillings a picture which turned
out to be a Ghetto. She sold it for 1
i £B,OOO and doubled that amount at J
roulette. Later she lost every penny
by gambling, and she has now been
arrested for attempting to pawn jewels
which did not belong to her,
BETWEEN TWO STRAWS.
A Hopeful Ambition of a Boy Forty
Years Ago, at Cape Cod.
"As a boy near Cape Cod I lived j
; near an old cider mill," says a writ

Rhode Island Oyster Farms.
Oyster cultivation in Khode Island
Is a big industry prosecuted in a big
way. and it is an industry that gives
excellent promise of becoming more
important to the state thau any other,
for in it hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been'invested: invested not
from a speculative motive but from
a wise appreciation of the tremendous
advantages of Khode Island as an oys
ter producing state.
To all intents and purposes Nar
ragansett Bay is one huge oyster
farm, over 15.000 acres of its waters
being under cultivation. It seems im
possible for the layman, traveling over
the bay's expansive waters on sum
mer excursion or business trip, to real
ize that from twenty to fifty feet un
der the surface of the waves which
hurl themselves against the steamer's
prow there are laid out in mechanical
farms as large as or larger than any
of those on shote.
A Rhode Island oyster farm ranges
In size from the one of two or three
acres to that of many hundreds.
What Is the Answer?
What are the "petty street crimes"

Talk about youth! A handsome

Transcendentalism.
Transcendentalism is the philoso
phy which finds all reality, not in the
observation of external and objective
fact, but In the mi»d and its processes.
The word was first applied to the
teachings of Kant, but more specifical
ly and accurately afterward to those
of Schelling* and his followers, and In
America to the school of Emerson.
Bits of Information.
When very thirsty and only a small
amount of water is at hand drink with
a spoon or through a small hole in the
cork of a canteen, it will do as much
good as when taken in large mouth
fuls. Boil putrid water in charcoal be
fore drinking. Indians purify all wa
ters by plunging hot irons and rock*
into them.
Knew of One.
"Suggestion? H'mph! Did you ever
hear of a real cure effected by 'sug
gestion?" "I personally know of one.
I once suggested to a young fellow
that if he didn't want to have a big
dog chasing him off the premises he'd
better quit coming to my house, and
<t cured him of the habit."
Get Weighed, First Thing.
"They keep the scales busy, I can
tell you," said the platform man on
: an elevated station that receives pas
j sengers from a ferry line. "They all
j want to know how much they've galn
i ed while they've been away in the
j country.
"The people that own the scales
know their business, take it from me.
| You observe that on this platform,
! for instance, they put the scale where
| it can't be overlooked and they stand
it, do you note, facing the incoming
j crowd, where the people can't fail to
see its face with its suggestive point-
I er.
"And now you let a train boat come
I in and the crowd carrying suitcases
[ and bags troops up the stairs and
akng the platform. They see that
I scale the first thing and down go the
bags, the people group around the
scale and in go the pennies into the
slot and around spins the pointer and
off steps the smiling man. He's gain
ed seven pounds or fifteen maybe, and
unless he's a fat man he's well
' pleased.
"Why sometimes they stand around
I that scale coming back from the coun-
I try waiting their turns to drop their
| pennies in the slot and step up; they
all want to get weighed the first thing
when they come back, excepting he
| fat ones. I'm thinking up a scale now
that will give the true weight of the
j lean folks and make the fat peole
seem lighter than they are. 1 think
I there might be money in that if I
could get it installed on platforms
j like this."
No Encouragement.
The family had stood the long
1 strain of Uncle Hobart's illness well,
I but the peculiarities of the physician,
1 chosen by lincle llobart himself, had
been, to say the least, trying. "Do
I you really think he will recover, Doc-
I tor Shaw?" asked the oldest sister of
the invalid, who had borne with his
vagaries patiently for years.
"I know how you feel, with Thanks
giving coming on and all," said the
doctor peering at her from under his
shaggy eyebrows, "but It's too soon to
[ tell. He may get well, and then again,
he may not; I can't encourage you yet
S —either 'way."
Prepared for the Offerings.
A Kansas City druggist tells that i
wealthy man came into his store Sun
day morning and, throwing a dime on
the showcase, said: "Give me two
nickels for that, please?" "Going to
try a slot machine?" asked the drug
gist, pleasantly. "No," replied the
wealthy man, "I'm going to church."
Plucked Fowls.

"The Liver Pills act
So Naturally and
Easily."
Such a statement, coining from
the cashier of a bank, shows what
confidence responsible people have
in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson
after trying them wrote:
"I have used Dr. Miles' Nerve
and Liver Pills and also your
Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with
good results. The Liver pills
act so naturally and so easily
that I scarcely know that I
have taken a pill. Frequently
being troubled with headache I
take an Anti-Pain Pill and get
immediate relief in every case."
A. L. Wilson, Sparta, 111.
Mr. Wilson was for u number
of years cashier of the First
National Bank of Sparta.
Dr. Miles'
Nerve and Liver Pills
are different from others. Many
kinds of liver pills are "impossible"
after one trial on account of their
harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and
Liver Pills do not act by sheer force
but in an easy, natural way, with
out griping or undue irritation.
They are not habit forming.
If the first bottle falls to benefit, yo'ir
druggist will return the price. Ask him.
