MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

+ Seven-tenths of the marriages in every
country take place between the ages Of
90 and 80.
During the last 30 years in England
there were 4.S72, 900 marriages and
6,5S7 divorces.
In almost every country the greater
number of divorces is granted at the pc
tition of the wife.
A Virginia wife was set free because
''the defendant does not come home un-
til 10 p. IN and then keeps this plaintiff
awake talking"
A Tennessee court liberated a wife
because ''the defendant does not wash
himself, thereby causing the plaintiff
great mental anguish. "
In Kentucky a divorce was once
granted because "the defendant came
into the bedroom the morning after the
marriage and beat this plaintiff ON the
head with her shoe heel"
The Emperor Tiberius made an edict
against the marriage of men over so
and women over so, but so strenuous
were the objections of widows and wild
overs that the law was soon repealed.
If wife in India is abandoned by her
husband, she waits eight years if he has
gone on pilgrimage, six if he went to
study and three if he travelled for pleas
ure, and then is legally divorced and
may remarry at her pleasure
Some states forbid marriage between
whites and full blooded negroes or In
dians Others legalize marriage between
whites and octoroons. In one or two no
degree is mentioned, but marriage is
forbidden between a white man or wom-
an and person of color to be percep-
tible to the eye. ST Louis Globe

not rely so much on the night bell. "
The partner was little doubtful and
called attention to the extra expense for
gas and clerk but he finally gave in,
the main argument being that the late
sales would certainly pay the extra ex-
pense, and that the number of regular
patrons secured would result in profit.
Both staid up the first night, one en-
thusiastic and the other skeptical One
explained that of course they couldn t
expect customer to drop in the first
thing, and the other remarked that he
would be surprised if they sold enough

''It's good thing, good thing, "
said the man approvingly. Zone can

Not a word was said as they closed
and locked the doors. The druggist did
not feel like saying anything, and the
partner thought it dangerous. And the
next night they closed between 0 and 10,
as they had formerly done. Chicago

PULPIT PARTYIsM.-One of the
preachers in the NJ. E. Conference
who parts his name in the middle
read q report at the late conference in
which he urged Methodists to take an
active part in party politics, meaning
as his own acts show, support of a pc.
litical creed quite as narrow as his
conceptions OF Christian duty. While
we cheerfully concede to all the right
to think and vote as they please on
matters of public Importance, it does
seem altogether out of place to preach
politics in the pulpit, when the line
of demarcation between the old
parties is one on which good men in
all sincerity widely differ.

That immigration Pamphlet.

The Secretary OF State has Just is.
sued a pamphlet, Tor the purpose Of
furnishing all necessary information
in regard to this State. If he handled
the other counties like he did kittitas,
they had better chip in, buy the whole
lot, make a bonfire of them and then
get some country editor to compile
and print a report that would be OF
some value. In the space devoted to
kittitas county he utterly failed to
mention our coal mines at Roslyn, the
largest in the State, and our dairy in
tcrests are not even alluded TO, al
though We lead the Northwest in this
line. His health statistics are calcu-
lated to make people shun us, when
he could truthfully have printed re.
port that would have attracted people
to us. Taken all in all it is about the
most dismal failure that the State has
ever been called upon to pay for.
Why, it is a fact that the picture OF
George Washington (who never told a
lie) printed on the cover, has asked
for a ten days leave OF absence and
has promised to put in the full time
kicking itself for ever being caught in
such miserable company.-Yakima
Capital.
The above is true only in part. The
same objection applies to every county
reviewed in it. 1t is, without excep-
ton, the most incomplete, misleading,
and inaccurate report of the States re-
sources ever published. 'Twere better
far to let the clerks in the Secretary of
States office smoke their pipes in
peace than to compel them to cudgel
their brains over a work for which
they are so poorly qualified. 1t is
hoped sincerely that the book will not
be sent out, for it will do positive
injury to the State. Those who con-
template a removal to the west will
shun a State that can make no better
showing when backed by official sta
tistics.
