DIVORCES IN ENGLAND,

It is pretty we'll understood in this

but just how small the number of sncl,
suits is perhaps is not known hero The
house of commons has recently had a
report made showing the doings of the
English divorce court aud the number
and character Of the cases tried there
In six years 2, 200 suits for divorce
were tried. About I, 300 Of these SHIFTS
were instituted by tho husbands. and
only about 900 by tho wives. A wife
has to prove cruelty as we'll as other
offenses in order to get divorce,
The women were ahead in the num,
Der of suits instituted for judicial sepa-
ration. They began in SIX years 1s1 such
suits, while only 4s were begun by thu
men. In 121 cases collision was sus.
pected, and tho queens proctor inter.
vened, and 118 Of these cases vera
thrown out Of court. Few Of the other
cases failed.
Our own statistics regarding mar.
rlagos and divorce are Just tabulated.
With all the facilities for getting rid of
husband or wife in divorce made easv
courts, there have been found in the
whole country only one-fifth Of 1 mar
cent of the persons who have been mar.
rled who have also been divorced. Ona
person in 500 means one couple in l. Ooo
that get divorced
There are II, Ss5 divorced women IN
the United States. There are not so
many divorced men by great many;
but, then, divorced men and widowers
are very apt to marry, and the figures
prove that they probably do, for there
are not so many widowers in the coun.
