Jules Simon published lately In

more accurately descriptive.
The book treats. NJ Simon said re-

The wife has become working wo-
man. the book says, passes her whole
day and often a part of the night in

of the marriage contract When
asked many years ago why he did not
like to marry, the French working
man answered:
Il would marry if could get di-
vorce when thought it necessary.
Now that divorce has been intro
duced however the number OF mar
riages has failed to increase and the
number of separations grows from
year to year. In 1890 the number Of
marriages in France was 3, COZ less
than in 1889. In 1881 there were
1857 divorces to 10 900 marriages; in
1890 there were 5, 457 divorces to 10. :

The day is near at hand. M. Simon
thinks when there will be as many
divorces as marriages in France.

German Women.

That the women of Germany are I'M
doubleday inferior to the men is one of
the most striking proofs of the back
ward state of civilization in Germany.
1t seems strange, too, since the German
girl usually receives an admirable edu-
cation, together with thorough train
ing in cookery and needlework. Yet
after her marriage she accepts her po-
sition as the ''Hausfrau" and Klaus
mutter," with few ideas or aspirations
beyond her kitchen and nursery, and
no topics of conversation except the in
EQUITY of her servants and the extrava-
gance of her neighbors. Her husband,
on the other hand, is, as rule, original
and intelligent, and would be an agree
able conversationalist it he were not
too argumentative and self-opinionate6.
At Dresden they are baking an
American corn bread that is finding
much favor and is much cheaper than
their ordinary bread. A pound costs u
rifle over three cents.

An Old Detroit Negroes Pathetic

Ihad seen the old man on the street

he was such aqueer looking old darkey
and his wool was so snowy white and
his face so full OF wrinkles that l ask

"That's Uncle Bill, as we call him, I"
replied the colonel. "Queer old man.
Years and years ago, directly after the
war, his son Henry left here and has
never been heard OF since. He's prob

the depot several times a day, rain

He has faith that his boy will return
some day and he wants to be on hand
to greet him."

Masculine Ignorance In Purchasing

Now that Christmas stories are the

dow, and, thinking to gladden. the
heart OF his friend, he entered the
place and told polite clerk to wrap
up the ian. Instantly the clerk was
dissolved in smiles, and two ladies,
who stood near, looked approvingly
at The Man, as if to say: "What a
nice young man! So thoughtful of his
friends and so liberall" But a climax
was rapidly approaching. Inhism mas
culine ignorance OF such matters The
Man had thought the price of the san
might possibly be S10-certainly it
would be no more. And so, as the
smiling clerk handed him the parcel,
he inserted his hand deep into his
trousers pocket and, with all the
assurance in life, said:
"How much?"
"Sixty dollars!"
"Er-I beg pardon''-gasped the
Man, while the cold dew OF horror
came out on his forehead.
"Sixty dollars?"
The Man made a desperate GRASP
for his presence OF mind and got it.

Why is it that physicians are opposed to
proprietary remedies2 Is it because such
meritorious remedies as Ponds Extract or
Garfield Tea become household necessities
and enable the people, by their use, to
cure themselves and SO get on without

constipation and sick headache, restores
the complexion and saves doctors bills.

And talk of self-denial.
