MARRIAGE. LYING, DIVORCE.

The West is a great place for divorces. Chicago and North and South Dakota are already conspicuous in the divorce line, and Nebraska has just made a bid for sim liar fame. In that State man has just se- cured an absolute divorce from his wife on the ground that she is liar. He says she cannot tell the truth. He has lived with her three years, and as near as he can remember she has told him 10, 900 lies, or some of the specimens of her lying which he had preserved and brought into court it must be admitted that she was liar from Liarville. For instance, she told him that his mother had just been found dead in bed, murdered by unknown persons; friend had attempted criminal assault upon her; that she had received letter from a lawyer in her old home telling her she had inherited 8 fortune, and to send him $50 at once (she spent the money for 8 new dress); that their little son had fallen in the we'll and broken his leg Che was asleep in the crib); that their minis ter had eloped with a servant girl, leaving his wife and five chil dren destitute, which story when repeated by him vas the means of costing him $700 and deal of trou uble to keep from being convicted of criminal libel. The husband said that perhaps he could have stood the lying if she had been sorry for it, but she never was, and so he asked for divorce and got it.
 It must be admitted that this was a
 rather aggravated case of lying, but if a man can get divorce from a woman for lying, or woman from a man for the same, what is to happena Cannot woman lie to her husband in order to save him from the annoyance of hearing unpleasant truths2 And cannot 8 man lie to his wife in order to keep her in the state of blissful ignorance in which he may fla ter himself
 she isi And how about the lying to each ' other before marrisgei It has long beer dangerous enough to be married, and hert is a new danger. Possibly the realization of 1t will lead to it's avoidance, and it may
 be that this sad and menacing affair 1T Nebraska may result in an increase il honestly rather than an increase in thu divorce list.

6, 1872, Ulysses s. Grant was renomi- mated by the Republican convention at Philadelphia on the first ballot. He was reelected the following November. June 10, 1899, Benjamin Harrison was renomi- mated by the Republican convention at Minneapolis. It is probable that the state ment can be completed next November.
 The first national convention of the Republican party thirty-six years ago met in the city of Philadelphia. The platform of that convention reads to-day more like an inspiration than the affirmation of political party. Every provision of that our party is on the statutes of our country to-day. Every one of them has been em- bodied into public law; and that cannot be said of the platform of any other political Whenever there is anything to be done in this country, end by this country, and for this country, the Republican party is called upon to do it.-Chairman Mckinley at Minneapolis.
 Indians can't stand sudden prosperity any better than white men. The Ceur d'Alene Ipdisns. who received S650, ,0OO from Uncle Sam some time ago, in return for part of their reservation, are having as much fun as they can. Each Indian of the tribe over sixteen years of aged received SLICE. The braves have bound their dusky brows in bands of bright red silk and robed themselves in blankets of gaudy dye. and the women have brought the most fsshy articles on the bargain counters and have hidden their fngers up to the second joints with gold and silver rings. The children made a run on the stores of fshhooks, jack knives and gingerbread. The farmers in the neigh boring country have made plenty of money by selling their old horses and ve- hicles for fancy prices.

Matchbox Making at Home.


 A couple of years or so back there was quite a nest of matchbox makers in the "Old Nichol street, district, close to Shore ditch church. This little patch of slums had the character of being as poor, as vicious, and as unsanitary as any in Lon don. Thousands of match boxes pass in, unmade, every week, to little streets in Bethnal Green and Shoreditch, and pass out again, completed. The women fetch out from the factory, or the middle woman's, strips of notched wood, packets of colored paper and sand paper, and printed wrappers; they carry back large, but light bundles of boxes, tied up in packets of two dozen. Inside their rooms the boxes, made and unmade and half made, cover the floor and fill up the lack of furniture. have seen @ room contain ing only an old bedstead in the last stage of dirt and dilapidation, table, and two deal boxes for seats. The floor and the window-sill were rosy with the magenta match boxes, while everything esle, includ- ing the boards of the floor, the woodwork of the room, and the coverings of the oedf, was of the dark gray of ingrsined dust and dirt But the woman who lived here was quite cheerful; it was sunny day, and her boxes could be dried without need of 6 fire. She worked while she talked, as such women always do, and, in' deed, must do. ', At first sight, 1t is a pretty enough spectacle to see @ matchbox made; one motion of the hand bends into shape the notched frame of the case, another sur. rounds 1t with the ready pasted strip of printed wrapper, which by long practice is fitted instantly without wrinkle, then the sand paper or the phosphorous paper, pasted ready beforehand, is applied and pressed on 80 that 1t sticks fast. A pretty high average of neatness and finish is de, msnded by most employers, and readers who will pass their match boxes in review | will seldom find wrinkle or aloose corner of paper. The finished case is throwr upon the floor; the long narrow strif
 which is to form the frame of the drawe, is laid upon the bright strip of ready pasted
 paper, then bent tosethss, end je'psd p

SINGLE COPIES THREE GENTS.
REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS
A GOOD START.

Al
 Those foolish Democrats who expected the Minneapolis convention would be fol- lowed by 8 row are not little disappoint- ed and puzzled by what has happened. All the sturdy fighters for Blaine are now for harmony and the success of the Republi- can party, and will do all they can for Har- rison and victory. Blaine himself shows the thorough quality of his Republicanism by words of encouragement and indictment to earnest work. The Democrats will not see the exhibitions of personal feeling and political trickery which they 90 were eager ly and confidently looking for.
 There is evident strong and deep feel ing among the rank and file of the party that the best thing has been done. They are we'll satisfied with the administra ation of President Harrison. They look upon him as man who has diligently and con- scientiously tried to do his duty, and they think he has we'll succeeded. They don't see any need of a change, and they do see great need that there should be none. They are not talking loudly or writing much. They are at work and glad to have peace and prosperity. But they are thinking. and when the time comes to vote they will take pains to vote.
 It is interesting to notice how the nomi. nation is looked at by the organs of the independent voters. They have none but words of praise for President Harrison, and if they are at all consistent they will find it hard work to do any better by the Democratic candidate, whoever he may be. So far as we can judge, the independent voters are very well satisfied with the president, and he will get great many of their votes.
 On the whole, then, the Republican cam paign starts with good promise. Few presidential campaigns in this country have started with less fiction, with less to explain or apologize for, and with more substantial foundation for earnest and efficient work.

an overlapping bit of paper; the edges of paper below are bent fiat, the ready cut bottom is dropped in and pressed down, and before the fingers are withdrawn, they fold down the upper edges of the paper in- side the top. Now the drawer, too, is finished and cast on the floor to dry. All this, besides the preliminary pasting of wrappers, colored paper and sand paper, had to be done IA times for 2id.-and even this is not all. for every drawer and case has to be fitted together and the packets tied up with hemp. Nor is the work done then, for paste has to be made before it can be used, and boxes, when they are ready, have to be carried to the factory. Let any reader, however delft, however nible-fugered, consider how many hundred times in a day he or she could manage to perform all these minute operations. But practice gives speed, especially when stimulated by the risk of starvation.
 The real rate of pay for any work must be determined not by the price per piece as it seems to the outsider, but by the number of pieces that can be turned out by a skilled hand in an hour or day; and this is a point difficult to arrive at, because most home workers work irregular hours and more or less intermitjsRtly. A mar ried woman with childreDwill tell you that she works from o'clock till mid night, but when you come to examine more closely, you find that out of that time some fs employed in clothing and feeding the children. On the other hand, it is more than likely that the children help in the work. It is not possible to measure the pay of such & woman. An other difficulty is that many women have no clear idea how many gross they make in day, or how much money they make in a week. It is evident that only in the case of single woman working at the trade AS trade, not as supplement, can the true figures be arrived at. had been told that some girls were for little time on show at the Peoples Palace, making match boxes in the presence of the public, and that they made at a rate of twelve gross day. Allowing 2d. per day for necessary deductions for fire, paste, and hemp, this gives 12s.

The failure o; the bill amending the license
laws Of the District to pass the House this ses-
sion would work untold evil to the city. This
bin has passed the Senate and should pass the
House by unanimous consent. A strong liquor
lobby has been working n, the Capitol this ses-
sion and lately has confined its endeavo-s to
prevent consideration Of this measure In the
House. 1t is claimed that the lobby has secured
enough members to prevent the bill being taken
up. Ar Heard and the other members of the
District committee should, however, not be de-
TERED by any such rumors from an energetic
effort to pass the measure. Let the stigma Of
inaugurating n reign Of free saloons in the
District rest where it belongs Without an
effort to obtain action on the question, the en-
tire House Of Representatives must labor under
the imputation Of favoring unlimited liquor

headed man, states in the interview it is as GER
tain as any event in the future can be- Irish

IN its way. Other contemplated reforms will

defined procedure which allows home rulc to
lead. and the registry. the one-rnan-one-vote or
other contemplated bills to be acted on In the
stages between the various readings. After the
passage in the Commons, the home rule bill
will be rejected by the lords, and as, &C.

duced the same session, parliament will be

thy thinks, will then pass it. II il should not,
new peers would be created who would swamp

able that this will not be necessary. England
is governed by public opinion, often without
direct expression Of it, on a given question.
