She Got Quits.
An interesting instance of oonjugal felicity lately occurred in Russia. A wealthy landowner of one of the suburbß of Odessa married a woman of thirty years while he was fifty. They lived peacefully together for a short time, but soon they began quarrelling, and often exchanged blows. 4 f ew weeks ago they indulged in a fight by which the good lady got worsted. She had an arm dislocated and was sent to the hospital for repairs, where she remained about three weeks. When Bhe got well again Bhe went home. Her husband, meeting her at the entranoe, asked, with a smile, "Are you quite well again, my dear?" "Oh, dear, yes," answered the woman. " I am so far recovered that I feel strong enough to send you to the place from whioh I have come " And before the husband had time to appreciate the full meaning of this answer, he was lying bleeding on the floor with his jaw broken. He is now in the hospital occupying the bed which was vacated by his wife. He flatly lefußes, however, to bring action against her in the Court, or even to seek a separation from her. " Such little troubles between husband and wife," he said, speaking with one side of his month, " must not be taken so seriously in praotical life."
