The March of Civilization.

Perhaps no more significant evidence
of the onward march of civilizati ton
could be afforded than the lighting by
electricity of the palace of the guikwar
of Barola, in India, and that, too, on a
scale of unstinting splendor. The inte-
rior is lit with 215 sixteen-candle-powe
incandescent lights. The large hall is
illuminated with two large twelve-light
electroliers, made in bronze and lac
ouered work, while the light is softened
and diffused by dioptric shades. Single
lights are also pendent from the ends of
the columns of the gallery. In the nu-
merous roOnls are three and four light
electroliers, made in variety of designs
to suit the surroundings. In the bed
rooms the mirrors have been specially
fitted with brackets, which will admit
of their being shifted from one room to
another, and an electric hand-lamp is
also provided, which can be moved about
at pleasure. An important feature of
the installation is the complete arrange
ment of switches and safety fuses, thus
the overheating of wires and consequent
danger from fire are rendered impossi-

STATISTICS OF DIVORCE,
The Average Length of Married Life Be.
fore Separation.

fore Separation.
Out of the total of 1913, 716 divorces
granted in the United States in the
twenty years from 1867 to 1886, in
elusive, 2S9, $40 were granted to couples
who had been married in this country,
and only 7,730 were from marriages cele-
brated in foreign countries. The place
of the marriage of 81, 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 1895 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
19. 9 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
1872 per cent, and in $780, 22 l 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 L would not venture an opinion on
the point. 1t certainly is 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
invaluable 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 as to

AN INDIAN TRADITION.

How the Proportions of the First Woman
Were Reduced by a Red Adam.
The early Indian tribes who inhabited
the hills of Mount Desert, Maine, be-
lieved that the Garden of Eden was sit
present day portion of the island is
called Eden. The Adam of these simple
red men, the primeval father of all the
red men in America, according to the
beliefs of these Mount Desert aborig-
ines, was a man with golden hair and
eyes like the hazel berries; he was tall
AID of great beauty. The Mother Eve,
who came to him just when his loneli-
ness was becoming insupportable, first
appeared coming through the clouds.
Her first exclamation at seeing him was
the Indian for 80 dear!" She at once
cut off his golden locks and began to
weave them into a strong ord,
which grew larger as she proceeded.
After she had finished the cord,
which was more of rope than a cord,
she was confronted by Monicho, the god
of evil designs, who tried to catch her
and to hold her, but could not. In her
headlong fight from the man of evil,
she dropped the cord of hair, which
Monicho picked up and carried back to
the one from whose hair it had been
woven. In delivering up the cord he
commanded the man to take it and bind
the woman, lest she keep growing and
exceed in size all other Creatures. This
red Adam, quite human-like, coaxed the
woman to his side and bound her with
his own hair as commanded by Monicho.
Still she grew and exceeded both Adam
and Monicho in height and weight. At
last. however, her fast-growing proper
lions were reduced by niggardly work
and starvation. While being put through
a strict course to reduce her size to that
becoming woman, she was made to
search for a bread grain, and in the
course of her explorations discovered
maize, the common corn of to-day.
Since that time all Indian women
have been made to toll, lest they grow
up to be giant Amazonians and wrest
the power from their self-Styled lords
and masters.-St. Louis Republic.

To allay hemorrhage, a toad, we'll
dried in the sun and put into bag, was
hung roung the neck by string suffi-
GENTLY low to touch the region
of the heart; and preparation
of garlic and honey smeared on the per-
son was said to act as charm against
the bites of dogs and reptiles, or the
sting of numerous insects, likewise eff
fecting their cure. Toothache could be
charmed away by a few leaves of the
shepherds purse, placed in the sole of
the shoe on the reverse side of the body
to that in which the tooth was aching
An excellent recipe for weak or sore
eyes was the expressed juice of the
calyx of the red honey-suckle; provided
always that the flowers were gathered
kneeling, repeating nine paternosters in
honor of the trinity, nine more Ito
greet Our Ladye," and creed. Rest
and sleep were required after applica-
ton.
Another prescription for the eyes
much in favor with the Anglo-Saxons
was paste of the strawberry plant and
pepper. diluted with sweet wine. Chill
dren were passed through the split stem
of tree for the cure of the ricketts,, but
the fracture must be afterwards bound
up sufficiently tight to insure cohesion.
For ague a very well salted herring
split open, was applied, as hot as posi-
BILE, to the soles of the feet. 1t might
also be mitigated by the habitual wear
ing round the neck of an emerald
gem equally potent in epilepsy. Precious
stones were accredited with marvellous
powers over the moral qualities and af'

How to Make Children, Aged Three or
Four. Contented and Happy.
AT the age of three and four children
want guiding in their play more than at
any other time during childhood, be-
cause they are then changing their lit
tie notwithstanding babyhood behind
and taking up childish ways, which will
remain with them many years. To
make such little ones happy and keep
them amused is not so difficult matter,
but much patience is required and not
little ingenuity. 1t is we'll always to
aim at teaching them from their infancy
to amuse themselves. By that means
the mother is laying good foundation
in the child's character on which its
greatest happiness will be built
Give the busy fingers something to do
you may call it play or work. The
latter pleases them most and by encour-
aging them in the belief that they are
really helping mother you will make
them happy. Give them some strips Of
soft woolly stuff and tell them you want
them all picked to threads to fill
cushion or muff. CutSome paper into
strips and coax their chubby little
fingers to make spills for lighting cam
dies. etc. Give them piece of calico
and needle into which you have tied a
pretty colored cotton thread and sug-
gest that they make dolls frock Al
though quite unable to make two even
stitches. the idea will fill little girls
heart with pleasure. Let slate and
pencil be used every day-there
is endless amusement in them.
Draw something-no matter how crude
or funny-and get the little one
to try and do the same Many a
merry peal of laughter will gladden.
mothers heart at the queer figures
which will appear on the slate. Save
all pieces of paper with pictures on them
advertising sheets and such things-and
let them have an old blunt pair of scis-
sors and try their hands at cutting out
pictures. 1t is not an easy but very
interesting thing to do, and if encour-
aged to persevere they will, later on,
become quite expert, and might then be
allowed to paste them into book or
upon screen-that would make them
very proud. Don't mind if they make
litter of their amusements: it is impos-
sible to avoid that, but always teach
them to clear up their bits when they
have finished. They will do it will
ingly-with little coaxing-and some
day will. in consequence, be more care
full. Then teach them some simple
songs, with marching step and hand
clapping introduced, for exercises on
wet days. Get book of tiny tales for
children and read one, at least every day
aloud to them. You will be repaid by
the enjoyment they will get from it.
Give them odd buttons, beads, or even
dried beans will do, and teach them to
count and play at having sweet-shops
with them. Do not buy many toys; but
what they have allow them to play with
at any reasonable time. And if they
have no other companions, mother must
sometimes play too, just to show them
how to use their dolls and balls-or
whatever toys they may have-for it is
not natural for all children to play
nicely without help or guidance. They
often require to be started right -Har.

CHANGE FOR CAPITALISTS.

Let Them Contract to Defect the Gulf
Stream Toward Our Coast.
1t is said that the Gulf Stream is flow.
ing nearer the coast of our Atlantic
seaboard, and this is the reason that has
been assigned for the milder winters of
recent years.
If this is so, the question naturally
arises. what is the good of having Gulf
Stream, any way, if you can't have it
where you want it? If we are to have a
Gulf Stream. let us put it where it will
do the most good.
Competent engineers have announced
that if capital enough is assured-a big.
ger sum than is required for a worlds
fair-they will contract to defect the
Gulf Stream toward the coast, and so
change the climate of all the Northern
Atlantic States.
1t seems that here is new way to set
tie the problem of the deserted farms
in New Hampshire and Vermont. How
long will they remain deserted when
bananas and pine-apples, oranges, sweet
potatoes and cotton grow spontaneously
upon their granite hillsides?
Another problem will also be settled
the negro question. This troublesome
factor will be eliminated from Southern
politics. when the negroes inaugurate a
new exodus to the cotton plantations of
Maine and the real-not the wooden
nutmeg groves of Connecticut.
Where is the accommodating syndi-
cate of milliOnaires who will furnish
the money for this much-needed i'm
provement? We hope they will not al
low that syndicate of English capital
lists, which we hear so much about of
late, to take mold of this project. Keep
it away from them; for who knows but
the minute they get possession of the
Gulf Stream they will take it and tote
it over to England, and leave US with
nothing but the ice crop on which to de-
pend for support. The American mil
lionaire should keep his eye peeled. If
he wants the Gulf Stream, he must take
it before it is everlastingly too late.-
