BREVITIES.

‘An original author has devised a novel in which the hero and heroine hate each other, marry for revenge, and then l fall head over ears in love with each other and live happily ever afterwar els. A iman who was charged at Yarmouth (England) 'with leaving, liis wife and six children chargeable to the parish told the Bench that he had tramped more than 2000 miles in a futile attempt to find work. The House of Lords is at present trying to' decide whether a deserted wife whom he had never supported or an alleged second wife to Whom he made-him-self a husband has the best might to be compensated for a. man’s death. The young wife of a German Princelet who- sold liis title for cash is in the unfortunate position of having no name. She has been fined for rising her late one, and her' husband hasn’t had time to find lier another! “No eggs were too bad to- be made into pastry,” said a witness'at Thames Police Court. As -a matter of fact, some pastry bakers seem to hope that the higher the- egg the more it will help the ©rust to rise. : Near Radford, U.S.A., lives George Jacobs, a farmer, who, as an experiment, put hens’ eggs under a hive of bees, having, them protected by a screen. The Jiees, he says, furnished the necessary Warmth, ancl out of the 20 eggs he got 18 chickens. He is so well pleased that he has now placed under each of his ten hives a setting of eggs, and says he expects good l results.
