Divorces in England.

1t is customary to throw stones at
the United States for the numerous
divorces which take place among its
people, but statistics show that the
percentage of divorces in England is
growing with alarming rapidity. Since
the Divorce act was adopted by Parliac
ment, thirty years ago, there have
been no fewer than 13, 022 suits brought
under it; and in 7,295--more than hall
the court has put asunder those
whom the church has joined together.
The showing is worse still when the
three decades of divorce are compared
with each other. In the first, 1858 to
1867, there were 2,1S8 applications for
divorce. In the second, 1868 to 1877,
there were 1922, an increase of 80 per
cent. In the third, 1873 to 1887, there
were 4,761, an increase of about IS per
cent. In the next decade the increase
will be, say the lawyers, fully 100 per
cent.-Toronto Mail.

A Model PhiIanthrOpist.

It was one of Joseph w. Drexers
greatest pleasures to secretly help
the poor. His philanthropy was not
warped by narrow preiudices, and
he would not refuse to open his purse
even at the appeal of an ex-criminal.
Indeed. he even went so far as to en-
ploy man who was once Clergyman
in this city to visit the police courts
and take the addresses of those who
had been sent to prison for stealing.
Then he would have the case investi-
gated, and If he found that poverty
had been the means of driving the man
or woman-tO crime he would be
especially generous and considerate-
Many unfortunate families were debt
ors to his charity, and he has helped
many, who would otherwise have been
wholly destitute, to honest employ
ment and comfortable homes. His pet
philanthropy was his 200-acre farm at
PIainfeld, N. j., where he kept, lea
and clothed number OF friendless and
penniless tramps. If they turned out
well he transferred them-''promoted
them, - as he would joeosely remark
to his fine Maryland estate, where ne
would put them in a way to acquire
farms for themselves. He spent prob
ably $40, 900. l am told, in his scheme
to establish fYe-eent lunch-counters,- :

'Did he write good novelist"
YES" the clerk said sedately, and
laid one of Eliot's works before the
women. They glanced at its pages in
dazed way.
''Well," said the first woman, help

such was the title of novel.

''How many pages are there in itP'
"About seven hundred"
''What do you say, sister,"
81 don't care,'' said the woman ap.
pealed to, ''if it's not too long"
''Do you think that is as good as any
you have?" asked the first speaker.
"Yes," said the weary bookseller.
"Well, I'll take it, I guess, )" she said
and closed the contract.
1t was evident that these two womer
had never before entered the realms o
fiction, that a strong desire for an &C
quaintance with its mysteries had sud
denly come over them, and they ha'
recklessly decided to make an explor
alton at all hazards and find out TO
themselves what a novel is. They hat
deliberately planned to indulge in thi
untried dissipation. and their onl,
