When Wives Were Sold. When the war between Britain and France ended in 1815 many of the English soldiers found that their wives had married again In the belief that they were widows. The formal selling of the wife was regarded among the Ignorant as a legal solution to the problem thus presented, and It Is said that the authorities of the day deemed it best to shut their eyes at the proceeding. A certain amount of formality had to be observed, however, before the sale was considered legal even by the most ignorant. A Yorkshire writer mentions two conditions which must be carried out to make a satisfactory sale—the price of the wife must not be less than 1 shilling (24 cents), and she must be delivered to her purchaser with a new halter around her neck. The same writer records the case of the woman who zealously preserved the receipts for herself as a proof of respectability. Humor and Morality. We have extirpated gross humor from our modern literature, but we must not suppose that we are therefore more moral than the Elizabethans, whose literature was full of gross humor. It may be tfiat we are only more afraid of ourselves and each other. This kind of (ear is destructive not only of gross humor, but of humor of all kinds. In its essence humor is brave as it is honest, but with cowardice and dishonesty there come base substitutes for it, substitutes that make fun of ' noble things with a humorous air. and . so bring humor itself into discredit.— . London Times. ———————————— A Great Mystery Solved. How many hairpins does a woman use when doing her hair? The hairpin editor has investigated and makes this report: “She uses just as many as she has. If she has only two hairpins she makes her hair stay up with . two. but if she finds twenty in the top bureau drawer she uses all of them.”— Atchison Globe.
