Gratis have never been able to obtain more

were three polling precincts on the island

extreme upper end. The two former pre-
cincts hsYe been abolished, and the
republican voters have to 60 a
distance Of over twenty miles. as
they have to walk the same distance
and return home. The result is that more
than one-half Of the republican voters Of
the island have to travel a distance of forty
miles in order to avail themselves of the
privilege Of voting. As nearly all of these
people are laborers, owning no horses or
mules, they will have to walk or lose their
votes. The same thing has been done on
Edisto Island, where the republicans usually
poll about 800 votes and the democrats six

two polls, conveniently eituated, 80 as to en-

Divorce in Other Lands.

An Arab may divorce his wife on the
slightest occasion. So easy and so COM
mon is the practice that Burckhardt as
sures us that he has seen Arabs not
more than forty-fve years of age who
were known to have had fifty wives, yet
they rarely have more than one at a
time.
BY the Mohammedan law man may
divorce his wife orally and without any
ceremony he pays her portion. gener-
ally one-third of her dowry. He may
divorce her twice and take her again
without her consent, but if he put her
away by triple divorce conveyed in the
same sentence, he cannot receive her
again until she has been married and
divorced by another husband.
By the Jewish law it appears that a
wife could not divorce her husband
but under the Mohammedan code, for
cruelty and some other causes she may
divorce him.
Among the Hindoos, and also among
the Chinese, husband may divorce his
wife upon the slightest ground, or even,
without assigning any reason. She is
under the absolute control OF her hus-
band.
The law of France, before the revolu
tion, following the Judgment of the
Catholic church, made marriage indis.
soluble, but during the early revolution
airy period divorce was permitted at the
/ pleasure of the parties when incompati
bility of temper was alleged. The Code
Napoleon restricted this.liberty. On the
restoration of the Bourbons a law wai
promulgated, May 8, 1916, declaring
divorce to be abolished that all suit
then pending for divorce by mutual con
sent should be void, and such is now th,
law of France.-Al6any EGaO Journal

SIciIlan BrIgands.

The Sicilian authorities have no easy
task in attempting to suppress brigand-
age, even after they have caught their
brigands. At Palermo recently twenty
three bandits were put upon trial, being
cooped up in an iron cage. So frightened

that only twenty jurors out of panel
of fifty appeared, and when eight OF the
convicted prisoners were being removed
in a van, the van by remarkable coin
cidence broke down at lonely place on

rufians escaped, two Of whom had been

Thanksgiving.

The beaded frost at early morn
CLEANS whitley DER the stubble,
And past the caves at night is borne
The north winds wall OF trouble;
But shines the earth with ruddy light,
The board is gay and CHEEKY,
And household mirth is flowing bright
Round hearts forlorn and weary.
How dark soccer the world path be,
How vexing earthly clsmor,
To-day the sunbeams goldenly
Pour down heavenly glamour,
The warning voices cease, or blend
In chords of solemn sweetness,
While harvest anthems seek the friend
Who gives the year completeness.
For tender spring, for summers wealth,
For autumn's royal splendor,
For homes Of peace, for Joy and health,
Thanksgivings full we render
Aud age with winters sifted snow
Meets childhood's sunny weather:
The seasons come, the seasons go,
Aud ell are glad together.

due to internal fraud. There has been,

which would make a burglary mouth
water, since in but one case was there
any punishment. Here are few figures:
