the total sum collected from this source
sS,Ol4.1l goes to the county, and the re-
mainder. S2.67l.36, goes to the state.
The collections have been remarkably
good and will amount to over 80 per cent
Of the whole sum certified to the treas
urer. A comparison with the amount
collected last year cannot be fairly made
from the fact that tho assessment was
much lower this year than last, but il
can be said in round figures that, while
nearly 20 per cent Of the whole valua
ton remained delinquent last year, this
year less than 10 per cent remains &c

settled their taxes this year speaks wei

Matrimonial Separations In Egypt.


The llveliest divorce centres of the
West have TO take second place when

tionS in Egypt, according to the ac-
counts of the American Consul TO the
land of the Nile. He tells of an alter
cation that took place between one Of
his trusted servants and veiled lady

divorce In less than five minutes.
The scene opened with reproaches
emanatlng from the woman. Take

man again repeated: II put you from

the woman said: Here is your dowry,

words the woman went her way, and
the astonished American learned that
he had witnessed divorce proceedings;
for in Egypt the assertion, 81 put You

by her husband. constitutes a solemn
divorce without alimony, and once the
words are said the woman has no
right to any further support from the

Women Gamblers in England.

The evil habits of betting and gamb-
ling are increasing most of all among
women. Mothers of families bet away
Their husbands wages and pawn
clothes and furniture to obtain funds
for gambling purposes. Hundreds OF
young women engaged In factories bet
regularly. Some see the bookmakers
personally, others send their money
through m!ddlemen. Betting among
ladies Is ON the increase, and the
drawing room sweepstakes are be-
coming popular. This Is a tremendous
indictment, yet l do not propose to re-
fute 1t. 1t Is deplorable state OF
things. but even If the ''half has not
been told" II is within the pale Of
cred!bility. Gambling Is on the in
crease among women" Betting is
largely prachsed and with disastrous
effects on the family life by the
mothers Of England, who are con-
stantly and proudly enough proclaim

street incident which he had just
witnessed.
Jadet said that he was strolling
along the Rue Concorde when he saw
an officer of the army, young man
in full uniform, struggling with a
young girl. Anxious to see more and
always chivalrous to defend innocence
and beauty, he fastened forward to
see the girl disengage herself from
the officers grasp, and before break
ing away, deal him several blows
with little whip which brought the
blood, for the tiny lash cut like a razor.

1t was settled. Vivien was to be-

with we began.
Those were delightful rehearsals,
and the rest of the cast, with one or
two exceptions, took kindly to the
fragile girl with the dark skin and
deep, lustrous eyes, which Monsieur
Jadet insisted talked as fluently as
her tripping tongue.
