 A French philosopher has made an inter- esting contribution to the study of the divorce question. Taking fixed standard of LOGO marriages. he philosopher distributes all countries into three groups-Group A, where the divorces average from to in the 1000; group B, where thsy run from 6 to 10; group 0, where in a thousand marriages there are from Il to 2s divorcsa. Among the first class are the Italians, the Russians, and the Scotch. It seems the only point in common among nationalities otherwise so opposed. The Svedes, the Norwegians, the Dutch, and the Hungarians are in the second class, while the third includes most other European people. The philosopher insists that the laws of country have no influence on these results. Norway and Denmark have the same laws, and Norway is moral and Denmark is loose. Switzerland is one republic, but in the canton of Luesrns there is scarcely ever divorce, and in Ap- psnzsll there ar 6 great many. In Catholic countries, as rule, there are few, and in Protestant there are many. Much depends on profession. Artists and men of letters seem very unfortunate in their unions. Moreover, the statistics of suicide run paral- lel with those of divorce. Saxony is the country where both are foand in greatest numbers. For space of three years the Rumbor of suicides remained stationary in Sweden, and SO did the divorcss Both are checked by the birth of children Where the husband is from five to twenty-five years older than his wife the nunber of divorces runs up to 184 in the 1000; where he is more than twenty-five, they drop to one pc '

Benjamin Kicker can thank his stars for

He fell into trap, and had an experience
| which was not pleasant, to say the least.
Mr.. Kicker is wood-chopper, and Friday
last was cutting fire-wood for Street Com
missioner Cottle on his wood-lot, near
the Brook road. The chopper was in
the act Of telling q small tree. lie had
nearly severed it from the stump, and
was pushing in an attempt to force
ii to fail in certain direction. He was
unsuccessful, and the tree came toward
him. Just back Of the woodsman, and but
a few feet distant, was another small sap
ling. As the former tree fell 1t interlocked
with this one. In some manner Mr. Kicker
was caught by the neck between the trunks
Of the trees and imprisoned as in a vice.
His feet just touched the ground. He
struggled with his utmost strength to free
himself. He is a large. powerful man, but
his efforts were useless. The trap would
not release its grip.
He shouted at the top OF his voice. 1t
was but thirty rods to the road and seve-
raj pasSers-by heard his cutlery but thought
nothing OF it. For over an hour. from ~

the prisoner. His injuries were most Sc
