An Australians View of Divorce


Mr.. John Lothian Robson, writing in
the Sydney Quarterly for March, aston.
ishes his readers by declaring that the
only way out Of the difficulties Of dl-
vorce is by reverting to the Mosaic code
Of stOning the adulterer TO death. Mr..
Robson says: "Divorce we shall dis
miss with "A word. After long and
mature deliberatiOn we are forced TO
the conclusion that the law Of Moses In
this particular is the true solution Of
the difficulty; that death should be the
portion Of the unfaithful, whether male
or female. The crime Is high treason
against the state In its most pernlcious
form; II therefore merits the heaviest
penalty. Divorce, with remarriage, is
confusion endlessly yconfounded; divorce
without remarriage is a burden heavier
than ordinary mankind can endure
the death Of the guilty clears the
ground and leaves all fresh and square.
And even to the guilty parties them
selves their doom ought not 10 appear
utterly deplorable; we live not for our
selves, but for humanity, and death, at
a most uncertain future, Is certain 10 us
all. If we can do nothing for the good
Of our race, but delet ourselves and our
vices from the face Of creation, we ought
not TO be unwilling 10 die.n

Cyrus W. Fields Great Work

The great work in which the late
Cyrus w. Field distinguished himself
in his active manhood-the laying of
the Atlantic cable-occupied his
thoughts during his latest earthly "
hours. This was evinced by his efforts
in his delirium to direct the work, and
the great anxiety that he displayed
lest a mistake involving failure should
be made. Being at one time very low
and, in the opinion Of his physician,
likely TO die at any moment, he rallied
suddenly in strength and cried out,
"Stop the boat, the work is all wrong"
1t is gratifying TO reflect that the most
absorbing and earnest work Of his life
was successful in the end, though long
shadowed by discouragement, even
though the closing months Of his
earthly career were darkened by finan-
cial difficulties and domestic sorrows.

Enpected Iniunotinn

AT Monday evenings session Of the
New Whatcom city council G. w.
Dorr, acting as attorney for the B. b.
!. Co., made protest against the build
ing Of sewer from Holly to Laurel
streets, diogonally through several lots
of the company. The protest was
referred 10 the sewer committee,
who took no measures 10 stop the
work and an injunction is looked for
today. AT late hour last evening no
positive steps had been taken toward
placing an Injunction on the work, but
IL Is freely predicted that such proceed
ings would he the result Of the failure
Of the sewer committee 10 order the
work stopped. The sewer In question
will drain large part Of the Sebome
district, and passes over land Of the
company near the foundry and along
the bluff to Holly street, in front of the
city hall, where it connects with the
trunk sewer to lead out to the discharge

The Modern Fo0tpad.

"In former days the tool of the high
wayman consisted of an ordinary sand
bag or billy" said Chief of Detectives
Desmond. earned with this weapon,
the footpsd would lay in wait in some
dark alley, pick out belated traveller,
and, as he came by, step noiselessly up
behind him. A sharp blow on the head
settled matters, aud the robber would
search the victim at his leisure. The
sandbag was too uuhandy to carry, and
it often led to the capture of dangerous
criminals.
Nowadays footpads travel by threes.
They will walk up the street together,
and victim is selected as he com
along. The garroters will walk in front
of him until dark corner is reached,
aud then purposely make room for him
to pass. The pedestrian will, in nine
cases out of ten, take the bait and at
tempt to hurry by. As he does the tall
est of the three will throw his arm
around the victims throat and force him
backward. A second man will deliver
quick blow in the stomach, which settles
the traveller, and the third man does the
searching. 80 quickly is the work dcOe
that the victim seldom gets time to get a
description of his assailants. st. Louis

VALUE OF CARROTS.

Carrots may be made profitable crop
in many places by combining growing
them for market and for home feeding.
In any large town there Is always a con-
siderable fall and winter demand for
them at prices that pay well, and all
surplus stock is WORTH much more than
the cost of production for feeding.
Horses and COWS, colts aud sheep all
thrive upon them, and for such use their
value may be put at about fifteen cents a
bushel. As 600 bushels an acre can be
easily grown upon good, rich land, it
will be seen that the crop is profitable if
grown for feeding alone. They should
be sown about the middle of June. The
half-long varieties are to be preferred on
account OF the greater ease with which
they may be harvested. Sow upon
ridges. same as those made for sweet
potatoes. Then by blowing down one
side of the ridge the roots are easily
taken out by nd.--ChicAgo Times.

Nsedls.and-Thread Tree.

That there are more wonders on the
earth, in the sea, "beneath the earth,
and in the sky above it than ever Horatio
imagined is a well-known fact which
that worthy's most ardent admirers will
not attempt to deny.
Take, for Instance, the famous needle
and-thread tree. Imagine such luxury
aud the delights of going out to your
tree and plucking needle threaded all
ready for usel Odd as it may seem to
us, there is, on the Mexican plains, just
such forest growth.
The ''tree" may not exactly be tree
in the true sense of the word, partaklng
as it does more of the nature and charac-
teristics of gigantic species of aspara-
gus. II has large, thick, teshy leaves,
such as would remind one of the cactus,
especially of the one popularity known as
the "prickly pear.
The needles" of the nee1le-aud-
thread tree are set along the edges OF
these thick, fleshy leaves. 10 order to
obtain one fully equipped for sewing, it
is only necessary to push the needle
gently backward into the aeshy sheath
this to loosen it from the tough outside
covering of the leaf, and then pull it
gently fro the socket. If this opera
ton be properly carried out, one hundred
or more fine fibers adhere to the thorn
like so many spider webs, ysthe Pnila-
delphia Press.
By twisting the "needle" during the
drawing operation, the thread can be
made of any length desired. The action
of the air on the flores toughens them
amazingly, thread from it not larger
than common No. 40 being capable of
sustaining a weight of five pounds, about
three times the tensil strength OF COM

Saving the Ewes by the Electric Limit.

The public are beginning to realize
that the use of the electric light does
more for the preservation of the eyesight
than any other artificial luminant. One
of the most reassuring evidences OF this
is the adoption of electric light in large
number Of hospitals devoted to the treat
ment OF eye diseases. The Royal South
London Ophthalmic Hospital, which is
undergoing extensive structural enlarge
ment aud improvements, is being fitted
up throughout with electric light. 1t is
also stated that quite an impetus has been
qiyen to the introduction of electric
lighting into Londonderry, Kilkenny,
Galway and other towns in Ireland by
the declaration OF one OF the surgical
staff OF the Royol Ophthalmic Hospital
in Dublin that the electric light is the
best light for eyes that are weak or af-
fected with disease, and occasions them
less discomfort and injury than that pro-
duced from gas, oil or candles. New

ROYALTIES Who Wore a Fatal Opal.

Foreign papers tell story OF an opal
ring belonging to the late King
Alphonso XII, of Spain, which will be
treasured by those who believe in the
superstition regarding the evil effects OF
that stone. On his wedding day the
King presented beautiful ling 20 his
Queen Mercedes, daughter Of the Duke
of Montpensisr. The Queen wore the
ornament till her death, which occurred
soon afterward. Before the burial, his
Majesty took the ring from his wiie'S
finger and placed it upon that of his
sister, the infantine, MIRA del Pillar.
The young Princess only livet few
days after receiving the ring. A third
time the King took possession OF the
ring and presented it to his sster-in-law,
Princess Christina, tAs youngest daugh'
ter of the Duke of Montpensier. Three
months later the Princess died. The
King, surprised at the history OF the
RING, decided to wear it himself. But
he did not wear it long, as death soon
claimed him also. The Queen Regeat,
after the burial of her husband, attached
the ring to a golden chain aud placed it
upon the neck of the virgin of Almudena,
the matron saint of Madrid. Super
stitious Spauiards foolishly attribute the
various deaths to the ring, as matter OF
course.-Chicago Herald.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FERrILIzIxe ORCHARDS.

No man can grow a good orchard
without fertilizing the trees in some way.
Unless the soil is very exhausted, nothing
is better than unleached ashes for the
purpose. They contain the potash
which the trees take from the soil for the
development and growth of fruit. Ashes
tend also to compact aud solidify the
ground, and therefore greatly improve
light soil.
The most important time to begin fer
tIlizing is when the trees are young, aud
it should be repeated every year. If
the soil is poor the second year an at
tempt should be made to bring up the
entire acre of orchard. One way to do
this is to grow peas and turn them
under. This method has succeeded in
q number of cases.-American Farmer.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Dandelions make good honey, and the
bees find it even in the despised tansy.
Old roses, if they are well cared for,
ought produce more blossoms than new
ones.
Feed the bees all the odds and ends of
honey, and put the rest in good shape
for the market.
Feeding cold milk is the most frequent
cause of SCOUTS in calves. As long as
they are subsisting on such diet have it
warmed up to boiling heat.
If the hive is foul from bees dying
with dysentery, scrub it out thoroughly
with brush and soapsuds, aud then
rinse it with boiling water.
A gentle horse, absolutely quiet and
safe for family use, rarely waits long for
buyer. The training of the colt has
much to do with producing such a
horse.
If YOUR fowls are droopy, close ex-
animation will probably reveal some lice.
This indicates the need of some insect
powder aud thorough cleaning of the
quarters.
Turkeys make a good potato bug ex-
terminator, but if turned into the potato
patch Paris green must be kept out,
otherwise the turkeys will soon be
poisoned.
From ten to twenty per cent. can be
saved by buying the chemicals and raw
materials aud mixing the fertilizers upon
the farm. More than this. if neighbors

Cows fare much better on mixed feed
than on any single ration. Cheap feed
ing seldom pays, but much cheap food
can be advantageOusly used by conbin
ing it carefully with more expensive

The refuse leaves and soft heads Of

The utilization of the sewage OF cities
for the purpose of mauuring agricultural
lands is one of the economical reforms to
which we shall come in due time. Such
n course of plant food should not be
ruthlessly wasted.

TO PREVENT COWS FROM KICKING.

TO PREVENT COWS FROM klChtNI.
Edwin ]. Doty, Meager County,
Montana, writes us that of all the
methods that he has tried to pre- vent
COWS from kicking, the most certain is
to take small rope about twenty feet
long, with loop in one end, throw 1t
over the back and across the loins, and
get hold of the loop with a stick If the
COW is unruly. Bring it just in front OF
the udder, pass the rope through the loop
and draw tight, then stand of the length
of the rope and let her have her "buck
out" and then 60 up and tie firmly. 1t
is impossible for COW to kick with this
continuance on. After a few days the
rope may be put on more loosely, until
dispensed with entirely. have tried 1t
on all kinds of cows, and it has always
proyed a success. 1t will also break a

yard while being MIXED, and it Is pain
full for her to take step while the rope
is on.-American Agriculturist.

Newspapers in the Orient.

The development Of the newspaper In
dustry in the Orient has been very re.
markable, says a writer in Frank Leslie's.
We have been so accustomed to look to
the East only for light on the great pro-
bems of history that it seems too much
to expect from that quarter OF the globe
news and knowledge of our day and gen.
Grafton. Yet, nevertheless, some of the
most remarkable and intellectual news
papers are published in Greece and Syria,
and in India. In fact, Beyrout has be-
come quite a literary centre, and in the
shape of newspapers has no less than
eighteen regular publications. The old
est paper there is the Journal de Syrie
ct Liban, now in its thirty-third year,
and is published in Arabic and French
every Thursday.
OF the papers published in India the
Bengal Hurkuru, which made its first APP
pearance 1895, is the oldest. The Hin
docs seem to be very forbearing toward
their newspapers and journals generally.
The press of India is conducted for the
most part on every free and easy princl-
pies. The publications Of that country
comprise many languages, among which
may be mentioned Hindoo, Urdu, Guja-
rati, Bengali, Brahmoism, Canarese,
Telugu, and Tamil. 1t is said that the
papers printed in the native tongues are
more thoroughly read aud circulated in
proportion 10 the number OF copies is
sued than those of any other country. A
single paper oft-times finds its way
through whole village, being passed
from house to house and read by each
inhabitant thereof, until, with the ten
derest handling, it is completely worn
out.
1t is something to have a newspaper
of any sort in Persia, for the Persians do
not seem to have made very much head
way in journalism, there being but seven
papers in the entire country. Three are
official organs of the Government, and
one is an illustrated weekly containing
usually the portraits of Government Of
fcers. The caligraph is used in print
ing these papers, as it is difficult with
tpye-metal to obtain letters as graceful
as the written letters-and the Perslsns
eve is 50 sensitive on the subject that he
shrinks from reading printed sheets
taken from cast types. So the papers
are prepared in this way. After the edi-
tor has made up an entire copy of the
subject matter it is given to scribe,
who makes clean copy exactly as it is
TO appear. This copy is given to an ex.
pert, who makes beautiful caligraphic
copy with graceful head lettering. Tho
copy in turn is photographed on litho-
graphic stones, which are bitten with
acid, and thus, when the printed copies
are struck off they arc identical with the
written copy Of the court scribe.
