months presided over the culinary de-

where his visits have been
as frequent as his household duties
would admit of. Not content with
remaining a silent spectator Of the
thrilling drama Of "The Lost Queen.

APrInter,s Case.

Among the many good things of its
kind, the following from the Chicago
Times, as expressing the fidelity and
fertility Of the reporter and the tech
nicalities, the brightness, the strength

one of the best. 1t is safe to say that

Divorce Among PrOtevtan,s.

New York Baptist Weekly.l
TheRomish church must be credited
with infexible adherence to the scrip
tural law of divorce, and in commend.
able regard for the saucity of the
marriage relation. While Protestants
do not exalt marriage to a sacrament,
they do recognize it as a religious as
well as a civil contract but they are
not SO rigid in guarding and enforcing
its obligations as Romanists. The
grounds for divorce which are coming
to be widely sanctioned among us are
clearly unscriptural, and if the pope's
children need an encyclical letter on
the sancity Of the relation, much
more is there need Of a strong Protes-
tant deliverance on this subject.
