A DIVORCE EPIDEMIC.
A Lawyers Philosophical Remarks on
Various Kinds of Epidemics.

Lawyers Philosophical Remarks on
Various Kinds of Epidemics.
There is no doubt that there are epidemics
of crime as well as of disease" remarked
losophically-inclined Lawyer II. L. Harris.
"In superstitious times all evils We're attributed
to adverse stars. This may have been an ap-
proach to scientific truth or its advanced
shadow. That meteorological conditions
seriously affect the health and spirts-and
affect some more seriously than others-is
fact of such everyday experience that it is no
longer regarded as phenomenal. The causes
of meteorological changes must be the i'm
pulses lying back of the pervading disposition
at times witnessed to commit peculiar classes
of crimes. Thus not long ago we had an
epidemic of fires, then of homicides, then of
criminal assaults on young girls, then of
suicides, and so on. Now, just at this time
we have what may be styled an epidemic Of
divorces. The docket of the Equity Court is
crowded with such cases and they are still
piling up. But it must be remembered to our
credit that owing to the facility with which
divorces are granted under our laws persons
unhappily mated come to the District from
other sections and stay long enough to gain a
legal residence merely for the purpose of hay
ing status for applying for divorces. AS far
as the old resident population is concerned
divorces occur but rarely"

EXERCISE.
4 Few Points Concerning Its Usefulness
 for Elderly People.

A Few Points Concerning Its Usefulness
 for Elderly People.
 While the elderly man has less ca- pacity for some forms of exercise than the younger adult he has no less need than the other of the general and local effects of exercise. It is in the earliest period of mature age that the most characteristic manifestations of defects of nutrition-obesity. gout and diabetes. in which lack of exercise plays an important part-are produced; and the treatment of them demands imperiously a stirring up of the vital combustion. Placed between a con viction that exercise is necessary. and fear of the dangers of exercise. the mature man ought therefore to pro- ceed with the strictest method in the application of this powerful modifier of nutrition. It is impossible. how ever, to trace methodically a single rule for all men of the same age. for all do not offer the same degree of preservation. We might perhaps find a general formula for the age at which the muscles and bones have re- tained all their power of resistance. and at which the heart and vesicles begin to lose some of their capacity tc perform their functions. The mature man can safely brave all exercise tha' brings on muscular fatigue. but he mus approach with great care those which provoke shortness of breath. -Populal Science Monthly.

THE LONG WHITE SEAM.
As I came round the harbor buoy

As came round the harbor buoy The lights began to gleam; No wave the land locked water stirred, The crags were white as cream; And I marked my love by candle light Sewing her long white seam. It's aye sewing ashore, my dear,
 Watch and steer at sea; It's reef and furl and haul the line,
 Set sail and think of thee. I climbed to reach her cottage door, o sweetly my love sings! Like shaft of light her voice breaks forth,
 My soul to meet it springs As the shining water leaped of old, When stirred by angel wings. Aye longing to list anew,
 Awake and in my dream, But never a song she sang like this,
 Sewing her long white seam. Fair fall the lights, the harbor lights That brought me in to thee, And peace drops down on that low roof For the sight that did sec, And the voice, my dear, that rang so clear All for the love of me.
 For o, for o, with brows bent low,
 By the candles flickering gleam Her wedding gown it was she wrought, Sewing the long white seam.

THE career of Jay Gould would have been impossible in any other lana but thiA Had he lived in France, or Ger many, or England. and sought to ac : cumulate wealth in those countries by the methods he has pursued in this,
 he would have been landed in some penal institution long ago. But as he is an American. and as, at time when the New York courts were venal he had the means to command them, thus escaping scott free' when he com mitted his greatest crimes. it is not likely that with his vastly increased wealth he will ever meet in this world tho condign punishment he so justly dessrves He Is an example of the successful highwayman; of the robber who gets away with his stolen goods and converts them without discovery.

ingmen against want

How to keep the boys on the farm' is fertile topic of agricultural dis eussion just now, and well it may be. Generally. the difficulty is ascribed to the home and the work. We would charge . share of the trouble to the schoel What can that do to make rural pursuits more attractive to young peoplee is this season especially. a crucial question. It finds solution only when we have determined what branches of natural history can be taught in the district school.

IT may como to this. then, that so- ciety will say to those who shut of such treasures from the use of the public rather than submit to just laws: You may cease to work these mines yourselves. but if you do the state will condemn them to public use as it con demns land for various public uses. and on like terms" This may possl- bly, be the heroic remedy if men choose Co produce artificial scarcity and de prive laborers of employment rather thaa yield obedience to reasonable laws

THE Keeley remedy is probably not

TnB Keeley remedy is probably not what it seems a cure for drunkenness. There are too many instances known of relapses to warrant the conclusion of . euro. That 1t is of temporary re- lief, that 1t clothes in his right mind the victim of dipsomania and gives him the opportunity to exercise little de- termination, there Is no doubt But this the moral influence of the church does equally we'll.

A QUESTION may eventually force itself upon public attention. Shall natural resources be shut of from the enjoyment of the public by individu- als or corporations because they will not submit to the operation of just and reasonable lawso It is on grounds of public policy rather than of pri- vate ownership of such treasures of nature as coal. iron and the like is permitted and defended. There is a right of eminent domain in political society which may be asserted and ex- ercised so far as may be necessary to secure the public welfare.

FOR LYING.
A Fine Discrimination Exercised Be-
 tween Lying and Stealing.

Fine Discrimination Exercised Be-
 tween Lying and Stealing. Brother Cobson, member of old if not of good standing in backwoods church in Alabama was drawn up be- fore a church committee on the charge of stealing a hog. The old fellow showed signs of deep humiliation when he appeared before the commit tee, and the nervous manner in which he chewed his long green' tobacco was evidence that he was anxious as to the outcome of the trial. The chair man of the committee called the meet ing to order, and then. looking at Cob son. sadly said:
 ''It do grieve me nightly to be here"
 1t don't grieve you nigh as much as it do me- I" Cobson answered.
 T hope not, but l fear it does. Now, Brother Cobson. we want to hear a straight story. Did you steal a hog?"
 Well. brother, I reckon you ask the question because you air interest gu III the WelidFe ol my ooui'
 ''Yes, brother.
 And you want me to tell you whuther or not l stole the hog"
 Exactly"
 And if say yes you will turn me out of the church.
 We'll be compelled to do that"
 And if you turn me out it will be noised about that was put out tor stealth hog. and that would ruin my standin'."
 "Yes."
 And if say that din't steal tn, hog you will think that I am lyin'.
 Surely brother"
 And will be mighty apt to turl me out anyway.
 More than likely"
 And then it will be noised abou that was fired for lyin'."
 ''Yes, l should think so.
 Well. I'd rather be turned out fo lyin'. for as mighty nigh every man il this community is a liar I'll lave good many sympathizers.
 All right, brother" and the re port of the proceedings read as fol lows:

To SUCH an extent has the placing of foreign flags on the city hall in celebration of . foreign anniversary progressed that stranger h the great metropolis would have difficulty by any outward sign in the neighborhood of the city hall in determining to what particular country New York belongs. It is time to put a period to this business. There is but one flag to fly from public buildings Tn this country. and that is the flag that was born with the revolution of 1776, was baptized in 1912 and given assurance of life eternal in 1861-5.

 RAPID changes have recently been going on in the development of high grade explosive. Greater force has boon condensed into less space and methods of exploding are being inn proved upon. Besides this. the use of explosives is being increased by q more general application. Unfor- tunately, laws and ordinances are not provided to meet this rapidly chang ing condition of things. Explosives, especially oil products are handled with great carelessness. Sooner or later innocent persons will be made to suffer from this negligence unless precaution and safeguards are in- creased.

IRRIGATED lands have supported the worlds greatest populations. and the experience of ages has proved that an acre of land properly treated with wat or from ditch will produce far more than acre that is dependant upon ca pricious rainfall. Those who irrigate in parts of France and Italy where the rainfall is greatest know right well what they are doing and there are thousands of places in the United States where the people will do the same thing before the lapse of another century. It is in this way that the food problem of the future must be solved.

 Rut all the glory of Ephesus l nave described has gone now. At some sea cons of the wear awful malarias sweep over the place n put upon mattras' or in graves a large portion of the pop ulation.

 But here is a lesson which has never vet been drawn out. Do you not see in that Temple of Diana an expression of what the world needs? 1t wants God who can provide food. Diana was n huntress. In pictures on many W the stags she held a staff by the horn with one hand and bundle of arrows in the other. Oh, this IS hnngry world. Diana could not give one pound of meat or one mouth ful of food to the millions Of her vvarshlppers She was dead divinity. an imaginary God, and so in idolatrous lands the vast majority of people never have enough 10 eat It is only Tn the countries where the God of heaven and earth is worshipped that the vast ma ioritv have crou n to cot. Let Dlana have her arrows and her hounds; our
 
 God has the sunshine. and the showers and the harvests, and in proportion as he is worshipped does plenty relgn.
 So also in the Temple of Diana the world expressed its need of a refuge. To it from all parts of the land came debtors who could not pay their debt and the offenders of the law that they might escape incarceration. But she sheltered them only little while, and while sne kept them from arrest she could not change their hearts and the guilty remained guilty. But our God in Jesus Christ is a refuge into which we may fly from all our sins and all our pursuers, and not only be safe for time but safe for eternity. and the guilt Is pardoned and the nature Is transformed. What Diana could not GO for her worshipers, our Christ ac cOfnnlishes for us

Rock of ages cleft for me,
 Let me hide myself in thee.

Then, in that temple were deposited treasurers from all the earth for safe keeping. Chrysostom says it was the treasurer.house of nations; they brought gold and silver and precious stones ana coronets from across the sea, aud put them under that care of Diana of the Ephesians. But, again and again were those treasurers ran sacked, captured or destroyed. Nero robbed them, the Scythians scattered them, the Goths burned them. Diana failed those who trusted her with treasures. but our God, to him we may entrust all our treasures for this world and the next, and fail any one who puts confidence in hlm he never will. After the last jasper column has fallen and the last temple on earth has gone into ruins and the world itself has suf- fered demolition, the Lord will keep for us our best treasures.
 As our train pulled out from the station at Ephesus, the cars surrounded by the worst looking group of them seeming in a wrangle with each other and trying to get into a wrangle with us, and we moved along the columns of ancient aqueducts, each column crowned with storks, having built their nests there, and we rolled on down towards Smyrna, and that night in Sailors Bethel, we spoke of the Christ whom the world must know or perish, we felt that between cradle and grave there could not be anything much more enthralling for body, mind, and soul, than our visit to Ephesus.
