In ttms her mtation spread all over Boston, and i lawless element grew bo afraid of f that often the threat of sending Black Maria was enough to quell ('worst cases of insubordination. *ew people know of Black Maria I as the boarding house keeper of ponlal days, but she handed her be down as a menace to the vicious [future generations, in the modern p wagon.

NEW IDEA SEIZES ENGLAND " I' 9 (.??gut to Prevent Domestic Breesea Prom Developing Into Qelee le Latest Fad Taken Up. A National league for the Promo tion of Domestic Happiness U the lat est proposal for Kngland. It has for Its promoters a few clergymen who have been Impressed by the extraordi nary number of couples In their par ishes 'who have obtained separation orders fro rh the magistrates beca?i*? of domestic strife. The idea of the clerics is that magistrates are too accommodating to applloauts chafing under the matri monial harness aad If efforts were made to Subdue domestic breezes they would mostly be prevented from developing into gales. Ho this league Is to organise ministers of all denom inations and kind Christians of both sexes to act as peacemakers. They wl\l take their respective par ishes under survey and In cases of household strife where the husband Is at fault the member of the league most likely to Influence him will bo selected to intervene and subsequent ly keep un eye on the culprit. If the wife is the offender then some sym pathetic woman will plead with hoik Most, enthusiastic workers among the poor, especially in the north, call these separation orders the "working class equivalent to divorce, ' the lat ter being too expensive for them to obtain. The consequence Is they have no real freedom, and looseness of morals Is the result. In industrial centers, where both husband and wife are wage earners, this 1b especially the case. I ..an cash Ire alone has 25,000 people separated by law, but not free to remarry. SAYS OYSTERS SUFFER AGONY Dp. Wiley Asserts They Endure Ago nizing Pain When Doused With Tabasco Sauoe. "Oysters on the half shell suffer un told ngony when eaten," said Dr, Har vey Wiley, formerly Uncle Sam's pure food expert, the other night, according to a New York Herald Washington correspondent.' "Ninety per cent, of them when eaten are alive and kick ing. They suffer the most excruciat ing pains when you jab them with a fork and follow with a sprinkling of salt, pepper and tabasco sauce. "It is true that they are a very low order of life, but as they eat and drink they must be live animals and have feeling. Imagine some monster com ing to earth from Mars who thought that we poor human beings were very succulent morsels of food when eaten alive. It would Indeed be a nice sen sation to be poked full of holes and covered with about six pounds of salt. "However, this will not deter me from indulging in the delicious half sh^ll habit. I am going to eat my oysters in such a way as to save them pain1 ? one jab wit;h a fork, put the sauce on quickly and then gobble it. r "It's a good thing that they can't yell and jump, for if this were so oui dining rooms would be full of tragic moanlngs and shrieks. However, this would not be so bad, for we would then have the alternative of cooking them." Paid Scott $15,000 for a Poem. What 1b the highest price ever . paid by a publisher for a poem? It would be interesting to know whether any advance has ever been made on the $15,000 that Scott received for "Rokeby." Stephen Gwynn, in his Ufa of Mooro, tells ua that Murray offered $10,000 for the copyright of "Laila Rookh," "but Moore's friends thought he should have more and, going to Longman, they claimed that Mr. Moore should receive no Iobb than the highest price ever paid for a poem. 'That,' said Longman, 'wai $15,000 paid for "Rokeljy."' On this basis, they treated, and Longman was Inclined to stipulate for a preliminary perusal. Moore, however, refused, and thfe^ agreement was finally word ed: jtix at upon your giving into out hanthf a poem of the length of "Roke by" you shall rsoeive from us a sua of $15, 000,* " Light Like That of Day.
