Al she owned or earned was vested in him, and he acquired the same rights over her person and property as if she were his natural daughter. The wife. on the other hand, acquired all the rights to a child and to her husband’s name and succession in the event of an intestate estate, and she could exer cise all the privileges to which her sex admitted. The power of the ancient Roman father over his offspring was originally perpetus nor could the child be emancipated from the fa- ther's control during the father's life except by that parent’s consent, nor did he become sui juris until the fa- ther (being himvelf sul juris) died when the son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law. In those brave days the father had legal per- mission to scourge his children or to send them, fettered like slaves, to work on his estate or even to kill them. choosing whatsoever means for their taking off he thought proper.

He inserted the blades on opposite sides between the bottle and the cork, each one turned in a different direction. Then when the blades were firmly pushed-in he slmply pressed the two together, gave them a wrench sideways, and the cork came out without any trouble. I have since tried it-on larger bottles with success. It is a trick worth knowing.” —Exchange. Woman's Wit. An emperor of Germany besieged a city which belonged to one of his rebel- lious noblemen, After the siege had lasted for a long time the emperor de- termined to take it by storm and to de- stroy all it contained by fire and sword. He did not, however, wish to injure the defenseless women; therefore, he sent a proclamation into the town, say- ing that al' the women might leave the place unhurt and carry with them .whatever they held most precious. The nobleman’s wife instantly. decided to take her husband, and the other wo- men followed her example. They soon issued from the city gate in a long pro- cession, each one with her husband on her shoulders. The emperor was S0 much struck with the noble conduct of the women that he spared all; even the city itself was left untouched. Creative. A certain man coming from abroad was taken up by the smart set: “We'll make a lon of him,” quoth they, “for the distinction he will there- upon reflect upon us.” But the man was too little. It takes “Theg we'll make a monkey of him;” A party of automobilists was t. . ing through Virginia. An accident to the car forced them to take a train home. As they walked down the road seeking some one from whom they could inquire their way they met an old darky, says the Success Magazine. “Will you kindly direct us to the rail- road station?” one of the party asked. “Cert'n'y, sir,” he responded. “Keep a-goin’ right down dis road tll yo' gets to where two mo’ roads branches out. Den yo' take de lef’ one an’ keep on a-goin’ till yo' gets to where de ole postoffice uster be.” said the smart set, determined to have wgl\e exercise for their creative genius.
