A WIFE’S STRATEGY.
In Switzerland one of the grounds for divorce-Is when either husband or wife has been declared to be insane. Advantage was recently taken of this fact by a woman who wished to be free from her nuptial bonds.-She caused her husband to be seized and taken to an asylum, a local doctor signing a certificate to the effect that the man was insane. 'When the man arrived at the asylum he was examined by the cantonal expert and another doctor,’ who found him to be perfectly sane, and sent him home again. The husband is now suing the doctor who gave the certificate for libel, and, if successful in this action, he intends to bring a similar suit against liis wife.
