OSTR4oIZED DIVORCEEs.
Duke of Marlborough's Mother One of the
Three Noelally Recngnized.


Although divorce is Just as much
recognized legal institution as marriage
in all countries of Europe, save Italy,
yet divorced women, even when the
decree has been granted in their favor,
arc pittilcssly excluded from every
royal and imperial court of tho Old
World. | know of only three exceptions
to this rule, namely, that Of the
Marchioness Of Blandford in England,
the Countess Tassio Festetics in Aus
tria, and the lovely Duchess Rignano
at Rome.
And of these three only the Mar
chioness of Blandford is, strictly speak
ing, divorcee; her marriage to the
late Duke of Marlborough having been
dissolved in consequence of his fragrant
immoraiities and we'll nigh incredible
cruelties. OF the other two the Countess
Festetics. sister of the Duke of Hamil-
ton, had nor first union with the now
reigning Prince of Monaco annuled by
the Vatican on the ground that she
had been welded under compulsion;
while the Duchess Rignano, sister Of
Prince Doria and favorite lady in wait
ing Of Queen Marguerite, is merely
judicially separated from her ignoble
husband, who has been cast Off by his
own relatives.

rev American CANNES Actually Pay for
Their Keen.

Their Keep.
An exchange says: In the United
States many hundreds of thousands of
dogs are maintained from birth TO old
age Wlthout ever rendering any ma
terial equivalent for their maintenance.
Outside OF comparatively small num-
Der OF sheep and cattle dogg, and the
somewhat larger number of watch
uogs who actually frighten away
thieves, no American dogs can be said
to pay for their keep except in
sentimental ways.
rms Is not the case in all countries.
In Belgium, in the north Of France,
In parts OF Austria and Saxony, and in
certain other places, dogs are used as
beasts of burden. They draw milk
carts, vegetable wagons, and other con-
Veyances belonging TO the poor, and
cheerfully contribute their part toward
the welfare and happiness of human
beings
Prof Helm of Zurich, has recently
made serious study of the question
whether the services of dogs could not
be made of much greater economic
value to human beings than is now
the case. To the objection that dogs
were not made to draw loads" he
answers that no animal was made for
man, but for itself and man has sim
ply adapted some animals to his own
uses, Transforming them in many
cases by the process of breeding and
selection into the shape best suited for
draught purposes. d
Why not, he asks, adapt the dog to
the purposes of draught2 On many
accounts the dog il better suited to
the purpose than any other animal.
He may be fed on what is left from his
masters table, his ordinary food being
the same as that of human being,
whereas a special bill of fare is neces-
sary for the horse and the OK.
Moreover, his neatness and intelli-
gence make it possible to lodge him in
the house. The vast majority of dogs,
even those of the rich, sleep ia the
house with their masters. And even
il tho draught-dog were not wanted in
the house, his hardness makes a rude
kennel or shed suitable for his lodging.
In either case the necessity of a stable
is obviated.
If one dog is not as strong as a
horse, team of two or three can be
employed; and breeds of dogs could no
hpubt ne ueNelOpeu from Ine lnaSIiI or
tho st. Bernard, which might be almost
as strong as horses.
The Eskimos have shown the world
how to use dogs successfully in teams /;
and there is no reason to suppose that
they might not be driven as well in
wagons as in sledges However, il
dogs should be used for draught pur-
poses, it would probably be for what
might be called light teaming'' or
freighting rather than for t.aveling
long distances.
But teaming is not the only use to
which dogs might be put. They were
formerly much used in England for
turning spits and though spits are no
longer used in roasting meats, there
are various machines on farms and in
connection with small manufacturing
establishments, the motive power OF
which might be supplied from a dog
treadmill.
Tho housewives sewing machine
might go by dog power instead of being
propelled by her own foot and so might

HER MAJEsrY,s CAPRICE.
Queen victoria's latest Fad is Amateur
Photography.

There is brand now project in the
household of the Queen at Windsor, a
royal department of photography
having just been established.
For several years past Her Majesty
has been in the habit of having events
that have taken place about the castle
and in the grounds photographed, that
she might have on hand sort of con-
tinuous historical record.
This habit has grown very strongly
upon her within the past few months,
and so many pictures have been taken
that the Lord Chamberlain has finally
ordered the purchase of camera and
a full set of Photographic apparatus.
Several of the servants about the castle
have had private Lessons from pro-
fessional photographer on the art of
taking pictures and developing them,
and a wonderfully complete dark room
has been fitted up. Privacy is assured
and there is no risk whatever of the
publication of the pictures taken. 1t is
planned, as soon as all the details can
be arranged, to have all the reports
that come to Her Majesty from the
various royal palaces Of the kingdom
accompanied with well-mounted photo
graphs.

caroeroi College women After Graduation.

"
Miss Frances M.Abbott, IN November Forum.
The first question verybody is impa-
tient to ask is, do college women
marry? Before | bring forth the fatal
facts, let me tell the story of the young
man TO whom an eccentric uncle be.
qucathed fortune on condition that
he lived and died bachelor As it
could not be determined until after
the young man was dead whether or
not he would fill the conditions of the
will, the court decreed that the legacy
could not be paid. In like manner, as
most of the Vassar women ure not yet
dead, it is impossible to present other
than tentative matrimonial statistics.
Tho record to dats is this OF l,0S2
nlumnae, 400 have married trihe
less than 80 per cent of the whole. As
tho Miscellany" reports marriages
every. month, this percentage will be in
accurate before even another class is
graduated. A truer proportion may be
found by taking the records of some of
the earlier classes, The first class.
('67) numbered four members of these,
three have married-75 per cent. The
class of '6S had % members; 10 of
these-or 60 per cent-have annexed
another name to that on their college
diploma. OF the "a members of 80.
there are 81 married, or not quite G2
per cent. The class of 10 presents
nearly the same record of the 81 mem
bers y are married. The last of these
four classes has just celebrated its
quarter centennial. According to Mr..
Charles Francis Adams, by the timc d
man has been % years out of college he
has either failed or won in the battle
of life. Assuming that a woman's occu-
patton and prospects would be settled
by that time, it may be stated that, in
the first four classes of Vassar, 81 of
the 81 members--or about 63 per cent
have married; little less than two
thirds of the whole number. A college
woman's chances of marriage, then, arc
about two to one; but even this will
not do for an absolute statement; for,
as matrimony can be entered upon at "a
greater age than almost any other pro-
fession, it is quite possible that the
semi-centennial of these classes may
show an increased percentage in that
direction. The average ago of students
upon graduating from Vassar is -
years and some months. The late Maria
Mitchell used to say, "Vassar girls
marry late, but they marry we'll. +" Let
us hope that time may not disproye her
observations.
