ODD GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
some Interesting Statistics Quilted
From "a British Blue book.

Some Interesting Statistics Quilted
From "a British blue Book.
The British government has issued a
blue book on the subject of marriage
and divorce, giving the laws of various
countries, collected by British consuls
and intended obviously as a basis for
an international agreement on these
momentous transactions, says the San
Francisco Argonaut. The countries IN
which divorce laws are In force are
France, Great Britain, Germany, Ba-
varia, Belgium. Denmark, Greece, Rus
STA, SaXony, Spain, Sweden, Switzer-
land and the Australian colonies. In
most of these countries, as In q OF
our states, the usual grounds for dr.
vorce are adultery, desertion, impriSon-
ment for felony, cruelty and incurable
incompatibility. But the latter ground
for divorce may not be pleaded in
Belgium where the parties have lived
together twenty-five years, or where
the wife Is over 45. In France a wom-
an may get a divorce from her hus-
band If he calls her a canaille before
her children, or IL he maltreats her
mother. or IL he refuses to supplement
the civil ceremony with a religious cere
mony when requested to oblige her to
that extent. In Germany a divorce
may be granted IL one Of the parties
goes mad. but not II he or she becomes
an idiot. In Greece a mar may d.
vorce his wife 'if she stays out all
night" or without his consent, sat
tends theaters, or sports, or dinners,
or places where men battle" 1t is
good ground for divorce in Greece that
one Of the parties to the marriage
turns out TO be q Jew. In Saxony a
divorce may be granted on the ground
Of change of religion, and In Spain a
wife may get q divorce on the ground
that her husband is trying to force her
to change her religion. In Sweden it
would appear that a divorce would be
granted on proof that one Of the par
ties had not been v~accinatei before
marriage. In New South Wales and
Victoria q husband may get a divorce
from his wife On the ground that she
has neglected her domestic duties for
three years.
The Blue Book gives these figures,
which shows that the United States,
which leads the world in most things.
leads also In divorce: In 1885 the
number Of divorces was. In the United
States, 13,472; In Switzerland, 920: in
