Divorce has become steadily in
creasing feature in Continental coun-
tries of late years. Statistics recently
presented to the Societe d'Economie
Politique de France showed that in. the
four years between 1910 and 1874,
inclusive, the number of divorces in
Holland had been one for every SO, 800
inhabitants; iu Belgian, one for every
l96,502; and in France, one for every
1882. Comparing these proportions
after an interval of thirty three years,
we find that the figures are: In Hol-
land, one for every observation-disclosures;
in Belgium, one for every 1901; and
in France, one for every 1860. The
formula Of proceeding in France is
classed under the head of "separa-
ton" but is practically divorce.-TN.

GEETLEMEH-You have now entered
upon the most serious undertaking OF
your lives. 1t is solemn thing to
put the brazen serpent to your lips. II
is no idle act to blast brass viper OF
set pair of cymbals to butting. True,
there is no harm in craving upon a
trombone, even after one has bis cor
net, but we repeat that it is a solemn
thing to staltle the world with sudden
"brass music" Therefore, brethren,
we would enjoin care and painstaking
BE ye not pulled up, as the wind in
strument of winding brass. Tempta-
tions bestrew your path. There is
always Snare set for the drummer,
and no drummer knows when he may
become base. To the cymbal player
we would say "Strike, but hear" Yours
is higher calling than that of the
punster. lie plays upon words. You
play upon symbols. To him who plays
upon the brass boa-eonstrictor with
grassLopper attachment, you are pecu-
liarly subject to temptation. The
temptation is to keep the piston rod
ever in motion. 1t strengthens with
years. 1t becomes grim habit with
practice, so that men operate it by
muscular action merely after they are
dead. An admonitory word to the
young man who has chosen the yellow
elarionet. Yellow clarionets tend to
melancholy - sometimes to suicide.
Either he who plays the yellow clari-
onet, or his nearest neighbor, must
commit suicide, otherwise the clarionet
is not yellow one, or it is out Of
order. Yellow clarionets are not com
patible with long life. A man with an
iron constitution may possibly live to
fifty years on the flute, but yellow
clarionet is as dangerous as the deadly !
ACCORDION. To him that |
handles the stupendous and sententious
tuba-we mean the brass monster that |
gapeth and grinneth like hippopota-
mus in the river brakes think what a

then called on Mrs. Roper, and was
soon satisfied that she had heard o.
her husbands death by some means
before the disclosure of the fact. He
also discovered another remarkable
fact--that one Of the Roper children
was named Wellesley. To shorten the
story, the woman was found to be the
daughter of Mr.. Wellesley, and by
degrees the dreadful fact was devel-
oped that Roper had himself murdered
William Wellesley to secure the vast
accumulations Of the property for his
wife, and had subsequently arranged
for the killing of the old gentleman,
so that his daughter, as the second
surviving child, should inherit as
speedily as possible.
Roper and his accomplice went to
Upton to carry out the plot for the
removal of Wellesley. The accom-
plice waste hide behind the wall,

ment was that Roper was to pass out
into the road in advance ofMr. Wildes-
ley, and that as soon as Mr. Wildes-
ley appeared he was to be shot. It
will be remembered how it WAS plan
ned by Roper that Samuel should
come last, and that by the accident of
Roper and Mr.. Wellesley returning to
take a glass Of wine, Samuel went in
first. The assassin supposing that
Samuel coming out first was Roper,
waited for the second man to appear,
and shot him, thus Staying the insti-
