Manly Courage.

''Jf at frs you do not succeed, try
try, try again" This motto was the
guiding principle of James life. When
james first essayed to smoke a cigarette
he turned deadly pale, and was very
sick; but he was not the boy to weakly
suecamb to so trivieia thing as a cigar
cite. He tried again and again. and
though he was repeatedly quite ill in
consequence of his bravery, he persisted
until he could smoke any number of
cigarettes with Impunity. In time he
conquered the legi innate cigar itself, and
now chews tobacco with all the grace
and efficiency of a man-of-war's man.
Frederick also tried to smoke a cigar
ette He lacked the persistency of
James. He was tickle IN the extreme.
He wished very much to smoke, but
hardly had he puff: d at a cigarette five
minutes when he lost all interest in the
diversion, and proceeded to dispossess
himself of his dinner. Frederick not
only failed wofully upon this initial at
tempt, but he surrendered uncondltion-
ally to his Internal remonstranccs and

A correspondent writing from Berlin
regarding railroad employees in that
country says: Their wages are a mere
pittance as compared to the wages paid
in America to employees of the same

only 1922 to $40 per year, conductors
Sl60 TO $50 per year, brakemen from
$40 to 1852 per year, roadkeepers and
switchmen Sl30 TO Sl60 and $3.50 per
year. In addition to these small sala-
ries they are paid small amounts as per-
qulsites, which help to increase, though
not to large amount, the sum annual
ly received. The engineer gets a per-
centage on the number of kilometers

the house OF Hanover as means OF forcing
| the King to abandon Austria and join the

planned as the means of elevating William
TO the rank of Emperor. King George
was faithful to his principles and never
made the smallest concession to the greed
of Prussia He had comfortable income
from his Austrian and English properties
winch Bismarck could not touch, and he
used to drive arouno the Ring IN Vienna
and through the Prater In noble barouche
drawn by SIX white horses. The poor
KING was blind, yet his face indicated the
cheerfulness aud benignity which never
deserted HIM, and the effect of his bows to
the right and left as he passed along the
streets was little odd, particularly when
he turned his head to greet dead wall or

A BILL has passed the French Chambers
legalizing divorces a vinculo matrimon1i.
Should the measure pass the Senate and
receive the approval of the Executive
which is very probIematical-it will vet
have TO encounter the prejudice engen-
dered by the reputation by Nine. Tai
lien by her first husband, the Due de
Caraman, and the abandonment of the
Empress Josephine by Napoleon.
Divorces were authorized by law in
France from 1903 to 1916, except in cases
where the parties had lived to-
gether as man and wife for twenty
years. AS the population of France
is largely Catholic, such law would prac-
tically remain dead letter even should
it pass, which, to say the least, is very
doubtful. The Catholic church recogniz-
es divorce under no circumstances. and
the adverse influence of the Catholic pop.
ulation and clergy of that country will no
doubt be sufficient to secure the defeat Of
the present bill. Louis Philippe no doubt
had in view the fearful moral effects of
the divorce record during 1884 and
from 1903 to 1916, when he, in answer to
M. Guizot's request to bring in bill le-
galizing divorce among Catholics. said:
