In New Jersey there is a divorce action pending, in which the judge :and jury must decide whether excessive economy on the part of the husband constitutes legal cruelty (says the New York correspondent of the London "Daily Telegraph").' According to the wife's story, this husband established a strong claim to the diamond belt for meanness. \ On the twelfth anniversary of the wedding ■the wife asked for an increase of h-r weekly allowance, consisting of Bs, 'to supply the table. This enraged the husband, and he forthwith deserted her. '1 he climax in thrift, she says, was reached when her husband compelled their son to take long steps to save his shoes. Shortstepping was extravagance, he said, because the boy could covr just as much ground and save leather by increasing his stride. The wife says her husband keDt a set of scalen under lock and key. He would weigh all the * groceries, and even counted the apples and eggs. She attempted to demur wlvn her parti er counted jn sticks in a package of macaroni, U'it "it\did mt do any good.
