Young People Should Keep House.

"The great increase in the number Of di-
vorce cases in recent years" said an old
lawyer, who scores of times had asked ali
mony for ill used clients, lis due in great
part to the tendency Of the middle classes
of society to live in boarding houses and
family hotels. With no housework to su-
pervise, O even the care Of their own
apartments, young wives and middle aged
wives also find themselves with too much
leisure on hand. To vary the monotony
of such a life protracted shopping excur-
sions, street promenades and frequent the
atre matinces are resorted to.

Increasing in Great Britain

LONDON, Jan. 19.-The severity of the
weather recently experienced in Great Bri-
tain is increasing. There is much suffering
among the poorer classes, n from vari-
GUS sections of country come accounts of
many cattle and in several instances of
human beings frozen to death. Several
trades are at a stand still owing to the cold
weather. Heavy ice has blocked the
docks at Newport in M0nmouthshire and
it is impossible for vessels to either enter or
loaded and ready to proceed to sea are
consequently compelled to await the
breaking up of the ice before they can sail.

Ton, >. y Can any OF the owners OF vessels on
the Pacific coast tell why ii is that the reyenue
sseaners stationed in the northern waters OF
the racine coast DO not receive such orders as
this? 1t Is not because the weather il less
stormy on this coast, or that the revenue crt-
teTs are less servieenble, but it is because ship
owners and the people in general have never
asked the president TO have the revenue steam
ers cruise outside. Had the revenue steamers
Corwih ano Wolcott been so ordered the steam
ers Marie and Wetmore might have been brought
into port by them. The writer, who served
many years as an officer of the revenue
marine on both coasts, knows that if n
revenue steamer was seen cruising about
the inland waters along the coast of Maine in
the winter months. or lying idle at anchor,
every citizen would demonstrate and the com.
mandng officer would be raped over the
knuekles by the secretary OF the treasury. Bat
on this station, as long as the revenue cutter
moves around the placid waters of the sound
with few select friends OF the captain on
board, all is well, it matters not how many
storm beaten vessels may be in distress, or per-
haps sinking, just outside Cape Flattery.
Ii is not new vessels that are needed in the
revenue service, but such orders from head
quarters as will compel the masters of those
already i'll the service 10 put their vessels TO sea-
and render the same assistance as those on the
Atlantic coast are now required TO give mer-

tistance from this arm OF the public service.
