STATISTICS OF DIVORCE.
The Average Length of Married Life BE-
fore Separation.

The Average Length of Married Life Be
fore Separation.
Out of the total of 32S. 716 divorces
granted in the United States in the
twenty years from 1867 to 1886, in
elusive, 2s9, 546 were granted to couples
who had been married in this country,
and only 7.73O were from marriages cele-
brated in foreign countries. The place
of the marriage of 31.3S9 is unknown.
One-fourth of these latter are reported
from Connecticut. as that State does not
require disclosure of the place of mar
riage in its libels for divorce. Now the
report shows that out of the 2S9.546 di-
vorceS whose place of marriage was in
this country and was ascertained, 231.-
S61. or SOL per cent. took place in the
same State where the persons divorced
had been married. and 57,679 couples, or
1919 per cent. obtained divorce in some
other State. The migration from State
to State to obtain divorce must there
fore be included within this 1919 per
cent. But it can not be even any thing
the whole of it. For in 1870 there were
23.2 per cent. and in 1850, 22.1 per cent.
of the native-born population of
this country living in States
where they were not born. OF course
this last class comprises persons of all
ages. while that under special consider
alton is made up of those who migrated
between the date of marriage and that
of divorce. The length of married life
before divorce in the United States
averages 9.17 years, which. think. is
from one-third to one-half the average
continuation of marriage in those in
stances where divorce does not occur.
Careful study may lead to a reasonably
correct approximation to the proper re-
duction from the 1919 per cent. and thus
give the probable percentage of cases of
migration to obtain divorce. but at pres
ent would not venture An opinion on
the point 1t certainly is q very small
part of all the divorces of the country.
though varying in different States. But
the necessity of such investigation is the
point 1t illustrates. The discovery of
these facts alone justifies the cost of the
report of the Department Of
Labor. 1t can hardly fail to compel the
study Of the problem of uniformity from
almost entirely new points of view a. to
its real nature and place in the general
question.-Rev. Samuel w. Dixie, il

DEVOUT AND HEROIC.
One of the Tsar's Generals Describes tn,
Russian Soldier.

One Of the Tsar's Generals Describes the
Russian Soldier.
Sincere and unaffected love for his
monarch, profound religious piety in.
timately united with the idea of the
Tsar and Of the father-land, unlimited
confidence in his chiefs. very strong
esprit de corps, and faculty of enduring
gayly and naturally the greatest priva-
tiOns-such are the most marked
characteristics of the Russian soldier.
TO these traits must be added remark
able bravery and rare contempt OF
death, combined with naive kind heart
edness and gentle and indulgent dis
position. The Russian soldier is dis
tinguished by good-humor that never
abandOns him even in the most difficult
moments. by his brotherly understand
ing with his comrades, and by his gay
and contented way of facing all the de-
crees of fate. Obedience is so deeply
rooted in the mind of the Russian SOL
dier that during my thirty years exper-
ience of the army do not remember to
have witnessed one single case of in
subordination. either in times of peace
or in times of war.
The Russian soldier died at his post.
/ haveA seen him in winter on sentry
duty on the heights of Shipka die stand

formed literally into statue of ice: I
have seen him die on the march. strid-
ing over the sandy desert, and yielding
up his last breath with his last step; |
have seen him die of his wounds on the
battlefield or in the hospital. at dis
tance of three thousand miles from his
native village-and in these supreme
moments l have always found the Rus
sian soldier sublime.
Although a child of the plain, where
his eye rarely describes the most modest
hill. we see him boldly scale the topmost
SUBMITS of the Caucasus. and climb the
rocks and glaciers of the Thian-Shan,
fighting all the time. He feels at home
the father-land, in the tundras Of SiH-
ria. or the mountains and deserts of CEN
trail Asia. He has an exceptional fac
ulty Of putting himself at his ease wher-
ever ne may be, even in places whore

A STRANGE DREAM.
Why Mark Twain Has Lost Faith

Towards eleven o'clock, it was sug-

tremendous thunder-bursts shook the
earth, and followed with fascinated

lit up the somber heavens with an in

''Wha. is your little bonfire Of vesu-
vius to this?'
My ejaculation reused my companion
from his reverie, and we fell into a con-
versation appropriate to the occasion
and the surroundings. We came at last
to speak of the ancient custom of cast
ing the bodies of dead chieftains into
this fearful cauldron. and my comrade,
who was of the blood royal, mentioned
that the founder of his race. old King

said:
