MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

Desertion is the most common cause
Of divorce in Sweden.
Many states forbid marriage between
white and Chinese persons.
Paris has nearly one-half of the di
yorces granted in all France
In Siam the first wife may be divorced
but cannot be sold. The other wives may
be both divorced and sold.
Ireland has the greatest number Of un-
married women between 10 and 45 of
any country in Christendom.
Switzerland has the greatest number
of divorces as proportional to marriages
Of any country in Europe-4B8 to 10000.
Roman law allowed divorce for three
causes--the Scriptural reason, designs OH
husbands life and the possession of
false keys
One Greek state had a law that If
man divorced his wife he could not
marry woman younger than the dis
carded partner.
A Michigan wife was released because
the husband did not provide the necessa-
ries OF life, saying 'he would not work
his toe nails off for any woman"
For clergyman or registrar in Eng
land 10 celebrate marriage in private
house, except by special license from the
archbishop of Canterbury, is a felony and
punishable by severe penalties.
A New York man, in petitioning for
divorce, pleaded that "the plaintiff would
not sew ON this plaintiffs buttons, nei-
ther would she allow him to go TO fires
at nigh" IA species Of oppression decided
by the court to be cruel and inhuman
and therefore emitting the.plaintiff TO
decree.--St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A ROMAN TALE.

whIsh Might, However, Have Happened
In the Present Day.
"Ho, Marcop cried old Whiskerus,
chow stack'st thou up todayT
The twain had met one summer morn
back in an alleyway. Stern Marco drew
his toga close and cast aside his Tyre.
"Tm out of whack today" he said;
with rage j am afrel Oh, may the
children of the street play football with
my head if don't lick old Screechius be-
fore go TO bedF'
"What wrong is charged to Screech-
iusl" old Whiskerus said then. Me
Thought he was a Roman bold-a man
among the men,"
"And so did till yesternight," quoth
Marco, with sigh, "but have changed
my mind somewhat--I swear he'll have
to die. Oh, Whiskerus, he bade ms
come unto his house last eve to have a
quiet chat and smoke--the tale l did be-
lieVe. l went, o friend, and doubted
naught-I did not think that he would
seek to make driveling young idiot Of
mel went; he piled me with cigars;
swear they were but hay. He locked the
door and took his harp, and then began
to play, and then to sing-the agony
felt I'll ne'er forget.
"MethinksI hear that brutal song ring
in my poor. ears yet. twas that old
song which has been used to torture men
to death, and Screechius gave it to me,
nor stopped to get his breath. Down in
corner of the room sank near dead with
fright; but, Whiskerus, he kept right on
and sang with all his might My tongue
was paralyzed with fear, for help could
not call. and there lay while Screechius
sang After the BallP He Knocked my
agony, did he. His fat sides shook with
mirth. But, no, he comes! Now he or
shall be wiped from the earthl"
They came together, these two men,
and Marco made a swipe as IL he meant
the dusty street with Screechius to wipe,
He strolled in glee upon his neck; he
tore his hair and hide. until his foe in
misery for mercy loudly cried. But
Marco tied mp Screechius into double
knot, and now the Roman children meet
and view the fatal spot. They say of
Screechius; Here he died-a like fate
