Divorce In France.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune, lSt.


The question of divorce, which has been
agitatiEg the people of France to such an
extent for some time past, is by no means
put at rest by the recent passage Of the di-
vorce bill. The law was earnestly opposed
by the Ultramontanists, who believe that
the Catholic Church, religion aud morality
are identical, ard that everything which
strikes blow at any Of the customs or doc
trnes of the church, is aimed at all religion
and morality. They opposed the divorce
bill on the ground that it was a revolt against
the church which has always opposed the
divorce laws Of Protestant countries. No
Catholic country grants divorces for any
other causes than those warranted by scrip
ture, and the opponents Of the new law in
France argued that the tendency Of its oper-
alton would be TO debase France among
Catholic nations. National prejudice was
appealed TO when IL was urged that the
present laws Of divorce in vogue in Protes-
tant nations originated among the Germans.
All the arguments of the opposition were,
however, uDayailing, and the bill became
law. France will hereafter have her divorce
courts as other nations have. and as the
causes for which divorces are usually granted
are understood 10 be unusually numerous In
that country, 1t Is probable that Paris will
soon rival Chicago as city Of broken bonds.
Hitherto "legal separations" have been al
most as common in France as divorces In
England and the United States, about six
thousand being granted every year. The
passage of the new law is decided blow at
the church in one of her Oldest provinces.

A Huge Electric Battery.
st. Nicholas for july.

In erecting the great Statue of Liberty,
two things had to be considered that seem
very trifing, and yet, If neglected, might
destroy the statue In one day, or cause 1t to
crumble slowly to pieces. One Is the sun,
the other is the sea breeze. Either of these
could destroy the great copper figure, and
something must be done to prevent such .
disaster. The heat of the sun would expand
the metal and put it out of shape, precisely
as it does pull the Brooklyn bridge out of
shape every day. The bridge is made in
four parts, and when they expand with the
heat of the sun they slide one past the other
and no harm Is done. The river span rises
and falls day and night, as heat and cold al
ternate. The great copper statue is like wise
in two parts, the frame work Of iron and the
copper covering; and while they are secure
ly fastened together, they can move one over
the other. Each bolt will slip trife as
the copper expands in the hot August sun
shine, and slide back again when the freez-
ing winds blow and the vast figure shrinks
together in the cold. Besides this, the cop
per surface is so thin and elastic that 1t will
bend slightly when heated, yet keep Its gen.
eral shape.
The salt air blowing in from the sea has
thin fingers and bitter, biting tongue. II
1t finds a crack where it can creep in be-
tween the copper surface and iron skeleton,
there will be trouble at once. These metals
do not agree together, and where there is salt
moisture in the air they seem 10 quarrel
more bitterly than ever. 1: seems that every
joining of points of copper aud iron makes a
tiny battery, and so faint shivers of electrici.
ty would run through all the statue. slowly
corroding and eating 1t into dust. This GU
rious, silent, and yet sure destruction must
be prevented, and so every joint throughout
the statue, wherever copper touches iron,
must be protected with little rags stuffed be-
tween the metals to keep them from quarrel
ing. 1t Is the same wherever two different
metals touch each other. Imagine what q
tremendous battery the Liberty would make,
with its tons of copper surface and mon
strous skeleton of iron, However, a little
care prevents all danger, as provision will
be made, of course, for keeping the metals
from touching each other. .....

What is an Editor?

Three qualifications are essential In sue.
cessful editor. First, q rhinoceros hide; he
must be callous TO praise and censure alike,
knowing, as he must, that be cannot by any
possibility please all. Second, he must have
sound Judgment, to know mol only what to
put In the paper, but. and especially, what
to keep out. His own Affairs, notions, preju-
dices and preferences are no more to his
readers than those Of any other person; and
the lins between matters Of public concern
and those purely private must be rigidly
drawn. Third, lie should have charitable
nature, not indulged TO the weakness Of NOR
bid philanthropy. but remembering lbers Is
good In all and none are all good. Then, II
he will keep bis paper clean, and try TO suit
al tastes 10 reasonable degree, aud never
forget his work day or night, he may make .
sort OF success oft, and then die poor man
after all.

Philndelnhin Times.

The disgusted park guard looked at the
approaching group Of femninity for a mo-
ment, sighed for place where girls are un-
known, and then said:
"They are hunting for four-leaved clover.
Oh, they are gone on it. They are up here
from morning to night. Now, If they were
small children, you know, wouldn't mind
it; but these are all grown women, and
dressed in handsome clothes, too. When
they first came here, a couple of them at q
time," continued the guard, casting a re-
proachful look at the girls in the distance,
81 thought 1t was kind of nice to see them
hunting in the grass and laughing for joy
when they found four-leaf specimen or
when they run afoul of a bug-for they call
everything 'bug'-and asked one of them
one day, that showed where to find good
growth, what she was going to do with it.
'Put it under my pillow she said. 'What
for? saysI. Then she kind of blushed and
said, before she run, why, to make me
dream of the one am going TO marry
"That's all l have got agin 'em," said the
guard, sighing in q manner Mark Tapley
may have done when he wished for the quiet
joys attendant upon funerals, "an' it's so ag-
gravating to see 'em hunting all the time for
such trifing thing" -as.. .s.5

Canned Goods.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.

@NNN'NNNN'
Boston is the headquarters of the canned
fish industry as it Is Of the fish trade gener-
ally. There are half-dozen or more con-
Germs engaged in canning mackerel in the
this city and some of them run large estab.
lishments here. Some of the Boston can
ners also run factories at various points on
the Maine coast and In the provinces. Along
tie Maine coast are great number of these
stated, by Boston capital, some by Portland
and some by native capital; but Boston Is the
main distributing point for the pack.
The packing season begins about May 1st
and ends October 18th. 1t is, of course, i'm
possible to tell whether the catch of fish will
be large or small. So far this season 1t has
been of very good proportions aud ifit con.
tinues in the same ratio 1t will undoubtedly
be very large one. The fish this year are
much larger and better than last year, but
the catch being larger and general feeling
of dullness prevailing, the packers are only
paying about one-half as much for them as
is about 10 per cent. lower than last year,
but labor is about the same. The prices this
season are only 90 to 95 cents per dozen cans
against 81 to Sl.10 per dozen last year.
Trade so far this season has been some
what limited, owing to the fact that large
quantities Of last years pack have remained
on the market, the amount on hand In
Chicago alone being estimated at fully $4,000
cases. Most Of this old stock Is in the hands
OF outside Jobbers and distributors, very lit
tie now being held In this market.
The pack last year was a fairly large one,
but the fish were small and of poor quality.
The demand was not very good and as soon
as the quality of the fish was understood 1t
became much lighter. Ea1rts are now be-
ing made by the holders of last years goods
to place them at almost any price. This, of
course, has injured the trade for this years
pack.
The Gamers believe, however, that as soon
as the jobbers see that this years pack Is Of
much better quality than last years and that
1t is being offered at lower prices they will
buy we'll and in fact that there will be no
particular difficulty In placing the stock. II
necessary the market will probably be re-
lieved by shipments to England. A number
of the small packers have failed this year,
owing to losses on last years pack. Their
competition being thus done away with, the
prospect for the larger concerns Is Just SO
much improved.
The business of mackerel canning has
grown very rapidly within the last four years
aud Is now very important industry, the
pack last year being estimated at above g.
00O, 600 cans. The generally dull condition
of trade which has prevailed this season as
we'll as last has naturally checked It's growth
somewhat, but the business gives promise Of
great future Development. The dsh are
packed In hermetically sealed cans, and will
remain good for three years.

Origin of the Corset.

As long ago as the days of Greeks and Ro-
mans a slight, elancee figure was admired
and stourness looked upon as a deformity.
Martial ridiculed fat women, and Ovid put
large waists in the first rank of his remedies
against love. Several means were tried then
as now, not only to restraining an expanding
figure but to enhance the beauties of very
slight one. But they were q different kind
from those with which we are familiar.
Bandages were worn with the generic name
of fasiee mamillares. These consisted of
the strophium, the cloth worn around the
bosom; the tenia, simple band below, and
the zona, or waist belt. When the bandages
failed, those who valued the beauty of thsir
figures had recourse to a remedy prescribed
by Serenus Sammonicus. They enveloped
their busts with garlands of ivy, which were
thrown on the fire as soon as withdrawn, and
afterward rubbed all the upper part of their
figures either with goose fat mixed with
warm milk, or with the egg of q partridge.
Men were as vain as the woman, If we are
to believe Aristophanes and other writers.
The great comic dramatist mocked his con-
temporary Cinesias for wearing busts Of lin
denwood; and Capitolinus, In his biography
of the Emperor Anthony, mentions that he
also had recourse to them to compress his
swelling figure. Testimony Is conflicting,
however. Some contend that the ancients
wore veritable corsets, arguing that when
Homer, in describing Juno's toilet when she
wishes to captivate Jupiter, speaks of the
two girdles worn around her waist-the one
bordsred with gold fringe, the other bor-
rowed from Venus--he was really describing
a Greek corset; and that the egide or cuirass
Of Minerva, which Virgil describes, is to be
interpreted in the same manner. But this
view is surely mistaken, for no monument
Of antiquity, no artistic work, no evidence
Cleaned from other sources, point to the use
Of stiff, rny!elding whslebona corsets.

Oil From Flowers.
Prairie Farmer.

The sunaower is grown to limited ex-
tent In the United States; nowhere, We be-
leve, for any purpose except for ornament
and for feeding the seed to stock. In Rus
sia and India this plant has long been culti-
vated for producing oil from the seeds and
latterly this has been taken up In Germany
and Italy. With the rapid increase Of popu.
lation and the necessity for greater diver
sity Of rural pursuits, may not the cultiva.
tion of the sunfower become Q profitable
pursuit In this country? Fed judiciously, It
imparts glossy coat to the stock and Is
highly recommended as food for poultry. 1t
grows readily In most soils, but prefers light,
rich, calcareous land devoid of shade. In
Great Britain the rule is to plant six inches
apart, covering the seed an inch deep, and
when the plants are foot high TO draw the
earth up around them. No subsequent at.
tention is required. The yield of seed is
much increased by topping the plants. Each
plant usually produces 1000 seeds, chiefly
on the main head.
Experiments made In France with the
sunfiower gave q return of ITS pounds OF
seed from an acre, yielding Is per cent. Of
oil (275 pounds) and 90 per cent. Of cake.
The product varies, of course, with the kind,
the climate anu soil. The common oil Is
used chiefly for woolen dressing, lighting
and soapmaking In Europe. The purified
article Ia largely employed for table use and
is considered equal to olive oil.

Duel In u Church.
baltimore Sun. June 1871.

A desperate shooting affray between two
members broke up the services at the Bap-
tist church of q settlement six miles from
Little Rock, Ark, Sunday last. Two young
men, named Lem Dishowsn and Peter Lewis
attended church with the avowed purpose Of
taking home the minister's young daughter,
and when Lewis moved from his own to the
minister's family pew while the sermon was
In progress, Dishowen drew bis revolver and
opened fire upon him. Lewis returned the
fire, and the congregation made rapid exit
by way OF doors and windows. Neither was
hurt, and both being disarmed, they agreed
to 20 into the woods aud fight II out with
fists. Before they started the girl whs was
the cause OF the fight desired TO speak pri-
vately with Lewis for q moment, which was
granted. While the congregation was await
ing the result Of the fist fight pistol shot
was heard from the direction OF the scene OF
conflict. The congregation hurried to the
spot and found Dishowen lying on the
ground dying from shot through The lungs.
He said that he was getting the better Of
Lewis, when the latter drew q derringer
quickly from his bootleg and shot him. The
girl had placed the weapon there during her
brief conference with Lewis just before the
fight. .AEt I. .L-.tE-. rEEE

Inhaling Cigarette Smoke.

OF ordinary cigarette smoking we say
nothing; we do not believe that smoking
dozen cigarettes day, In the ordinary way,
ever did grown-up person any tangible
harm. But inhaling the smoke is q very
different thing. Let even the most inveter-
ate smoker try this experiment, and he will
be convinced. Let him smoke an ordinary
Turkish cigarette while walking, and at some
distance from meal, inhaling the smoke
well into the bronchial tubes. Then II, be-
fore he has finished his cigarette, he does not
find his head grow dizzy. or bis heart begin
to thnmp, or his fingers tingle, we shall be
quite ready to congratulate him on the pos
session Of an excellent organism. Whether
the effect Is due TO an impression on the ter
limitations Of the vagus, or whether the &C.
tive principle of the tobacco is absorbed, and
carried straight to the heart in the blood
current, We shall not undertake to decide;
we only described the fact.

POETRY.
IN THE BRIDLE-PATH.

They ride, they ride with slackened rein,
Facing the sinking sun,
And he Is telling her over again
The tale that never Is done
The tale that's az old as the bending blue,
And as old as the singing sea-
And 10 never has happened that one Of two
Marveled what 1t could be.
II never has happened that one of two,
Blithe boy, glad girl, together
Who have felt that to love was enough to do
In the sweet and the sunny weather.
But have found right words for the song of
In the greenery overhead:
For TO build the nest in the spring Is best,
And tits best in the spring t. we'd.
oh, he rides at her bridle-rein,
And be bends him to her ear, .---aa
With the musical tones Of the old refrain
That ladies delight TO hear.
And his words were pleasant as rain that pat
ters
Low on the laughing leaves,
md kind as the CHEEKY sun that tiatters
The gold of harvest sheaves.
And his hand it is on her bridle.rein,
And his look il is on her cheek
He needs not TO tell her over again
or the guerdon that he would seek
But oh, the telling! It's like the smelling
OF the mignonette and the rose;
For no matter how long you sing love'ssong,
You can never come TO its close!
