The nixorea onestinn.

Toledo Blade: As there has been con-
siderable discussion in the newspapers
over Mrs. Mona Cards question. us
Marriage q Failure?" it may be of inter
eat to the public to know that the govern.
ment, for the first time in its history, is
to publish statistics on divorces.
Col. Carroll D. Wright, labor commits
sioner, is busy preparing the report a
thorized by congress about two years ago,
and it will probably prove to be one of
the most interesting works ever published
by the government. Its magnitude may
be understood when it said that Col.
Wright's agents have obtained the figures
from every court in the United States
having divorce jurisdiction, of which
there are some (, Zoo, and that the period
of investigation extends back twenty
years-from 1866 to 1886.
Everything relating to the subject will
be given wherever it is possible to obtain
this information from the court records,
and in every case the agents not only eX-
amined the docket, but the original bills
filed. The report of each case will give
the age of the parties, the for
which divorce was granted, whether the
wife or husband obtained the decree, the
number of children, the place of mar
rage and the migrations of the couple
since then, 30 as to show whether the
change was bona fde or merely for the
purpose of obtaining a divorce, the
length of time the marriage lasted, and
any other fact that might tend TO throw
light on the subject.
Another portion of the work will give
the number Of marriages, as far as the
records show, by counties. in the United
States, for the same period, Sd hat tho
ratio of marriages to divorces can be seen
A synopsis of the divorce laws of every
state will also find a place and the work
will conclude with statistics of divorces
in the principal countries of Europe.
The subject of divorce has never beer
so thoroughly investigated before. The
Italian government took up the inquiry
some years ago, but it was limited in its
range. Colonel Wright's report will un
undoubtedly find a place in the library o.
every student of sociology. The cost OF
the investigation, it is estimated, ha.
probably been not less than $50, 900. W.
may expect, when this report is pub
lished. u wide discussion Of The divorce
question in all its aspects, and the result
we have no doubt. will be to give re
newed impetus TO the movement in favo
of making the divorce laws of all state

MT. Curtin.s Luck.

On the application of Richard Heating
and injunction has been grantedby Judge
Tuley restraining the Adams Express
company from paying to Edward Curtin
S15, 900 collected on a lucky Louisiana
State lottery ticket. Heating claims that
just before the last drawing he and Cur.
tin each bought a ticket with the under
standing that if either of them won any
thing it should be divided. Like nine
tenlhs of the patrons of such schemes,
Mr. Heating drew a big blank there
wasn't a dollar within shooting distance
of his ticket. Curtin on the o.her hand
was something like u man who falls into
the river aud gets out without a wetting
he was SO lucky that he couldn't believe
the report that he had won 49, 900 until
the express company notified him that the
money was ready for him. Heating, ii
is claimed. reminded him Of his promise
to "divey," but was rudely repulsed.
Mr.. Curtin was the winner and didn't
propose to throw away any of the prize
on a man who couldn't pick out a lucky
ticket. Hence tie injunction and the
danger that, if the matter rests much
longer unsettled, the lawyers will fatten
on the s15. 0C0, and what they leave will
be SO small that both Curtin and Heating
will be ashamed 70 quarrel about it

The Inventor Of the wheelbarrow.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: There are
probably very few people who know the
name of the inventor of the whcelbar-
row. Since that one wheeled vehicle has
suddenly grown into such popular favor
with Democrats who wheel Republicans
on free rides to square foolish bets on the
election as to be designated the Demo
cratic barouche." the man who had the
prescience TO see the utility of such an in
vcntion should certainly be held in CRATE
full memory. That sculptor, painter,
architect. enginecr-in fact, many sided
genius and universal scholar, Leonardo
da Vinci of Italy-thc man who painted
the original picture of the Last Supper
is the inventor OF the w~heelbarrow.
His fertile brain conceived the idea about
the time Columbus discovered America.
1t is hardly possible to think of a maj
who was touched with the highest order
of the divine art OF painting. bringing
himself down to the Numerically oppo.
site study of simple mechanical invention
but such is the case says history.

Intelligent answer to the last question,
convinced me that Ethel loved me.
Instantly my gloomy feelings were
driven away by the sun of JOY and I
blessed the weather, the cabmen who
had stayed at home and in fact every
thing that had helped me to thus Sc
cure definite answer to my proposal.
When I had formerly travelled be-
tween Clifton and Englewood I
thought that those four miles were the
longest ever heard of, but that night
it seemed as if we fairly flew along the
road, for We reached Englewood in
what seemed very short time. I left
Ethel at her fathers door, and as
kissed her good night said, Darling,
won't go to California for several
months and then it will be on my
wedding trip"
The next dayl II changed all my plans
and settled down in Englewood, and in
few months Ethel and 1 were mar
RED and took q wedding trip to Cali
tornia. We often talk about our past
live and tell her how near she came
to wrecking mine by her coauetry.
She always tells me how sorry she is,
but declares that she always loved me
ana only leased me so in the hope
that L would speak out and ask for her
hand' SO she could say "yes.'
Anyway 1 shall never forget the
night L rode with Ethel from Clifton to
Englewood. and whenever I see a cab
feel like taking off my hat to it.
