The proposed reforms are of a most drastic character, and may be said to begin and end in the divorce court, Women are to be placed on an equal footing with men, and divorce, which is to be made easy for both sexes, will be granted under two separate headings. In the first place, a clause in the digit provides for a divorce for some specific reason. Drunkenness, insanity and sentence to penal servitude for eriminal offence are to be added to the legal reasons for which a divorce can be granted. On the other hand, the existing law which provides that a wife may ob- tain a divorce for ill-treatment would be abolished under the proposed re- forms, so that hs husband, pre- sumably, could beat his wife persis. tently without the wife being able to get a divorce. The most striking suggestion, how- ever, is that a divorce should be granted without any apparent reason, provided that both parties make a formal legal request' for divorce and persist in this request for a period of two years. In all such cases, how- ever, two vears must elapse before the déeree is made absolute. The reformers go so far as to pro- pose, that after his probationary period of two years a divorce may be granted without any specific reason on the application of either one of the parties, even should , the other party be opposed to the decree. Needléss to say, these proposals are the subject of much criticism, because under such a law no marriage would be absolutely binding for a longer period than two years. BULL WITH MEMORY. Strange Case of Animal's Vindic- tiveness. _ A stfange case is reported from an Austrian village of a bull's vindictive ness. A peasant named Eger had sold the animal a few days previously to the parish, and it was grazing in a field, when it suddenly became furious, rushed through the streets and entered the house of its former owner. Here it attacked one of the boys, and on the father coming to his assistance the bull chased him out into the road, and round and round a small chapel. Catching him at last, it im- palo him on its horns, and dashed im against the wall, killing him on the spot. Directly after having done 80, it trotted back to its stall, and allowed itself to be tethered quite quietly. It js supposed that the man must have maltreated the beast for- merly, but such an instance of bovine rancor is unique, veminding one of the stories of vindictive elephants. Wanted--A Farmer's Wife.

White House of To-Day Century Ago Present It. fr 's Companion. x he White P House of today, with its recent scenes of luxury, offers a curious contrast to the executive mansion of a hundred years ago. Al- ter reading the accounts of the wed- ding decorations in honor of the pre- sident's daughter, one is interested to see what Mrs. Adams, the president's wife, says of the dwelling in 1800 : "The White House is built 'on a grand and superb scale. It takes thir- ty servants to attend to the work. One serious lack is that there are no bells in this great castle. Another is that there is no large yard in which to. hang clothes, and they have to be dried in the large au- dience - room. There are not enough the house, and there are no looking glasses but dwarfs. Tea-parties have become very expensive, Not only 'tea, but coffee, negus cake and sweetmeats are presented." : Life in those days was on a simpler and homelier plan than now. Imagine a diplomatic caller of the present find: ing family wash flapping about in the audience room ! The bie automo- bile that carried the newly married couple of. the other day away from the White House, would not have found such easy going in those good old times.

Mannasseh Cutler, dining with the president, reports a menu consisting of fried eggs and fried beef, turkeys, ducks and rounds of beef, and a 'new foreign dish of macaroni."

A disagreeable habit that horses have is lolling out their tongues. J, 8S. Carter gives his plan for stopping this practice, as follows : Take a strip of good stiff metal, such as tin or sheet iron, six or seven inches long and three and a half inches wide. At one end of this cut out a strip in the middle about three inches long and a half-inch wide, or just wide enough to slip down over the hit. I have used this and it work- ed like a charm. One or two small holes are punched in the solid end of the strip to hold it to the cheek piece of the bridle. This end may be covgred. Disagree- some How To Cure Insomnia. TRere are several common sense ways of obtaining sleep. .One of these is the application of cold wet cloths to the back of the head and necky This treat- ment will not be followed by a reac- tion if it is continued for a number of minutes, and it often works surpris- ingly well. Another way of solving the problem is to soak the feet in a hot bath until the veins become dil- ated with blood; or the whale up to the hips may be given a 'hot soak. With some people a two or three minute hip bath is the most of- feotive remedy.
