WIFE SILENT FOR FIVE MONTHS.
At Arbon, on Lake Constance, an Italian named Vindossa appeared before the magistrate to ask his advice on a curious domestic affair. The applicant, explained that his wife refuses to speak to him, and for the five months past she has merely answered his questions by a shake of the head or has written a. reply on a piece of paper. Vindossa added that he wrongly accused his wife of unfaithfulness, and ah* said she would never speak to him again, and so far has kept her word. The naive Italian asked whether a beating would do his wife good, and if not could he obtain a divorce.
In reply th© magistrate said that neither process was practicable, and advised Vindossa to be kinder than ever to his wife, acknowledge his fault, and bee her pardon.
