OF the 32s,617 divorces granted in the
United States for twenty years, 216, lie, or
65.s per cent. of the whole, were granted
to wives on their petitions for divorce
from their husbands, and 112, $40 were
granted husbands for the alleged fault of the
wives, being 84.2 per cent. of the whole
number; that is to say in the proportion of
nearly two to one it is the wife who seeks
divorce rather than the husband.

Many of the giant reptiles of long

lizard known as the tr'iceiatops had
a big horn over each eye and little
one ca its nose. The dinoceras and

tertiary epoch had three pairs of
prominences on their heads which
are believe! - have supported horns
However. the material of which
horn is composed quickly decays,
being largely formed of gelatine

Two well dressed women stood
among the throng ut the ribbon

strangely enough neither my friend

member what they are2"
Il do not, said the girl politely
impressed apparently by the inter
national character of her customers,
but the other young lady at this
counter may know" The other
young lady" said she thought the
colors were black and yellow,
II am sure that isn't right" re-
marked an old customer who was
sitting on the third stool down the
counter.
Possibly the fioorwalker would
know, suggested the clerk Cash |
Ask Mr. Fitzhugh to come here "
That functionary having arrived the
matter was duly referred to him.
There are three colors," he de-
clared, " black, red and yellow"
Are you sure2" asked the two
shoppers earnestly. I'VE cannot
make mistake"
Il am almost sure that is wrong, 1"
interposed a young woman near by,
who had overheard the controversy.
My husband is a German, and
never heard of yellow in the German
flag"
1T might be buff" conceded the
hoorwalker,
Il used to teach school in Indiana"
remarked tall woman with cat
skin muff, and | can settle this
question The colors in the German
flag are red, white and yellow"
This seemed authoritative, but
somehow the various contestants
didn't appear satisfied.
There's Schwartz the floorwalker
in the cotton department., suggested
the stately Fitzhugh; hes Ger
man himself he'll know. Cash, go
and ask Mr.. Schwartz to write the
colors of the German flag on this
card.
The Indiana school teacher did not
look pleased, but the matter having
gone to the court Of appeals she rest
ed her case, and the cash girl was
back in minute with the card. On
it were written the words black,
red and white"
That settles it. Thank you so
much, ~ said the two feminine shop
pers gratefully, looking apprehen-
sively at the listening throng,
How much is this narrow ribbon,
please2'
Twenty two cents piece of ten
yards, ma'am, answered the girl ex-
pectantly.
We'll, we need only little Give
me yard of each color. How much
will that be-"
Seven cents" murmured the
clerk, staggered for a moment by the
of the order after the
trouble in obtaining it.

Indiana school teacher Uttered audi

on the clerks face as she drawled,

Food for Starving Peasants.

A well known ichthyologist o. A.
Grimm, of Moscow, proposed some
time ago as an article of food for the
famished peasants the hanna, a nu-
tritious sort of anchovy which
abounds in the Black sea. At pres
ent the hanna is utilized only by one
firm of Tifiis, which transports it to
Constantinople at great profit. The
Society of the Red Cross has ap-
pointed a commission to inquire into
the methods of fishing and drying
the hanna. If the commission finds
that the preparation of the fish for
shipment and healthy food can be
had at low cost, measures will
forthwith be taken to follow the sug-
gestion of NJ Grimm. New York
