The Iniquity of Loose Divorce
Laws.

Once divorce laws are enacted, mar
ried couples take advantage of them
who would never have thought or
dreamed of separating and would have
patched up their qnarrelS and differences
if there had not been such an easy way
out of the matrimonial bond. No man
would have ever thought. unless the law
favored loose way out of wedloek, to
write: "Mary, if you love me. or ever
did love me, you will apply for a di-
vorce, as there is another woman whom
l coul love" As the scope of the law
is little by little enlarged, an ncreas-
ing number seek and obtain divorces,
and after while it becomes Il perfectly
respectable thing to contract what
might be called experimental marriages.
In the West, especially, society receives
back Divorces. The palaces of the
well-to-dO are open to them. Churches
do not cast them out. and ministers well
come them at their communion tables.
They may occupy positions of trust and
honor, two or three divorces to their
credit side Notwithstanding. Aud we
are told that such sights have no inilu-
ence ON the growing generations of
boys and girls. This is not true. Teach
the rising generation by object-lessons
at an age when Impressions are deep
and lasting, that men and women may,
without losing caste, divorce at pleasure,
and the notion of the Sanctity of the
family life is urdermined.-[ North 1Ht-

Punishment In Persia,

Among the Persians the usual mode of
punishment is the bastinado, from which
men of the highest rank are not exempt.
1t is inflicted with very great severity,
frequently SO as to render the sufferer
almost cripple for life. The victim is
thrown upon his face, each foot is passed
through loop of strong cord attached
to pole, which is raised horizontally by
men, who. twisting it round, tighten the
ropes and render the feet immovable.
Two executioners then strike the sole al
ternately with switches of the pomegran-
lite tree we'll stepped in water to render
them supple. A store of these switches
is generally ready for use in the pond
which adjoins the courtyards Of the
houses of the great. The punishment
frequently lasts for an hour or until the
unfortunate victim faints from pain

There are four Kennedy boys and one
Durgin boy at the Forks, forty miles
above SkOwhegan on the Kennebec
river. One of the kennedys and Scott
Durgin who were river men two years
ago, discovered, either on the Enchanted

They probably found it while driving logs
in the spring of two years ago, for it is

The land is a great region belonging to a
company who would not sell the land if
they were asked to. They go up to the
woods every spring and work all sum-
mer washing gold. 1t is not a place
where they can pick up chunks of gold,
but by steady washing they can make
four dollars a day all summer. The
stream is so situated that it cannot be
worked. They say that they are making
money, and it looks as if they were for

A Dangerous Barber Shop.

The funniest street sign that ever
hung over New York door is that of a
barber on Hudson street near where the
city's thoroughfares get tangled up in
such confusion at Abingdon square
The owner of the shop is darby and is
very fond of big words. So when he
had his sign painted he had it made to
read, "Tonsorial Parlor," instead of just
plain Barber Shop" This sign hung
for nearly a year. Then some wag
probably told him that there was a
more elegant wording which might
draw custom to his shop. Within a
week new sign, respondent in red,
white and blue, hung out proclaiming
that "Tonsorial Abattoir" might be
found within. 1t is not known whether
the shop is more literally patronized
under its new designation as a hair
dressing butcher shop or not. but GER
tainly the darby is very happy over the
length and impressive appearance of the
new word on his sign.-New York
