A man recently died intestate whose wife had been receiving rations for the family since 1887. The man had endeavored to get a tixsorueXmrn but had been unsuccessful. The Charitable Ts,' Aid Board had in turn endeavored to compel him to give suitable maintenance, but he was ably defended in the action, whioh extended over two days, and the magistrate only gave an order for 2s 6d per week, m, a latter date the' Board made a fresh application, through its inspecting officer, an inorease in the maintenance under the order, but the succeeding magistrate stated he did not see his way to interfere. Tho widow, who will now be entitled to a third. as he died intestate, of the £1000, has applied to the Board to be furnished with an account for the rations bestowed, in order to defray the expense entailed upon the Board. The Detroit Free Press thus humorously deals with a " disease" engendered by the use of the telephone :—;There isatelephonio malady, which is .very serious, and whioh has beon discovered, not in France, but. in this country. , A mau who had the reputation of being sane has been known to go to a telephone and ring up the central office and place the diabolical tube to his ear After waiting awhile he has been .eon to shout, and carry on in the most fearful manner. Instances have been known of people who never before swore, but who, ( when confronted with the telephone, especi- / ally when the tube was at their ear, broke V -. out iv the most fearful maledictions People' otherwise calm have been known to roar and yell into the telephone, and finally to hantf up the tube with remarks that will not bear publication. . It .is thought from thiu that therens some danger to, those addicted to telephoning,** inanity. It this turns out to bo really the case, the sooner we hang up the telephone for keeps the better.
