MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
BY LADY COOK. NEE cLAFLIN

Whatever may be said of modern
laws, they have been, on the whole,
prompted by a sincere desire to do
right and justice between man and
man, and, in many cases, between man
and woman. They may be often crude,
illogical or unwise, owing to the ignor-
ance, the prejudice, or the short sight
edness of their makers, but they are
almost always the outcome of good in
tentions. The very important reports
which have just been presented to the
British parliament on marriage and di-
vorce in foreign countries and our
colonies, at the instance of Mr.. Henni-
ker Heaton, exhibit singular diversities
of opinion among legislatures on some
points, and at the same time singular
unanimity on others. The subject is 80
intimately connected with the welfare
and happiness of mankind, that short
analysis of them may prove acceptable.
The minimum age at which marriage
is lawful varies very much. In Eng
land it ia IA for the male and IL for the
female, when with the consent of par
ents or guardians, but after 81 both
sexes are free of control. Newfound-
land, Mexico, Natal, South Australia.
Cape of Good Hope, and the Argentine
Republic, appear to be the only ones
whose laws agree with those of England
on this point. In New Zealand, Tas-
mania and New South Wales there is
statutory age for marriage of minors.
In Switzerland and the Netherlands it

thing passed off smoothly Lonsdale
would have exhibited a seraphio de-
meanor for months to come.
There are certain rules which must
be followed by all those who aspire to
entertain the prince, and glance at
them will show what Lonsdale had to
contend with. The earl is no novice at
work of this kind, for only few months
ago he entertained the most cranky
and difficult member of royalty the
world over, namely, the Emperor Will
liam. Lonsdale spent 940000 or $780,
O0U, to give Germany's kaiser weeks
hunting. Perhaps the earl did not
spend quite as much on the prince,
which, in the present condition of un-
friendliness between the two nations,
would itself be sufficient to cause an
noyance.
The prince visited Lowther castle for
the purpose of enjoying the fine shoot
ing to be had there. There are $4,000
acres, all we'll stocked with many kinds
Of game, and the place is admirably
managed. 1t ranks as the finest shoot
ing estate in England, and the prince
expected to make some record-break-
ing bags. In his lighter days Wales
fancied fox hunting, but for the past
two or three years, he has seldom fol-
lowed the hounds and has confined
himself to the less boisterous sport of
shooting.
Lcnsdale knew that the prince ex-

visit by Albert Edward, Prince of
Wales. When the prince was younger
and more of boisterous good fellow
than he is today. it was not such a
difficult task to please him. He hon.
ored many houses by the royal pres
ence end he did not hold out for all
the intricate niceties which he now in
eists upon. But Of late years he has
visited comparatively few country
houses, 80 it has become the rarest
kind of an honor to entertain his
royal highness.
How Lonsdale succeeded is matter
OF conjecture. After the departure of
the prince, the big red headed, row.
boned earl attended fox hunt. From
the first of the meet he was in an
ugly humor. He got into two or three
arguments with titled members of the
meet and finally when one over-ambi-
tious rider smashed into bunch of
the earl's favorite hounds, woundiug
several, Lonsdale cursed that rider
with the heartiness and venom of Il
hackdriver. The gentleman so gem
erously cursed happened to be titled
man of Importance, and now he has
brought suit for SANDER against the
earl.
The latter is ordinarily good-natured
enough. but he had just passed through
trial which would have tested the
nerves and patiencs of saint. Since
the hunting episode TIE cable informs
us that Londoners have argued that
something must have gone wrong dur
irg the prince stay, for had every

those which did, and no matter how
rare they were they were expected to
be served.
But if Lonsdale were fortunate
enough to please the prince in the
hunting field and in the dining room, a
still more delicate task was to please
him in the matter of guests. OF course
the prince dominates the list of invita-
tions. The Countess of Lonsdale, fol.
lowing the usual custom, would pre-
pare a list of her titled neighbors
whom she expected to invite to dinner,
aud the prince would edit it. Certain
names would be cut and others added.
After this it would seem that the re-
sponsibility of the host and hostess
was at an end in the matter, but quite
the reverse is the case. They are re-
sponsible for the guests all the time
they are in the royal presence, and at a
country house, where everything is of
family nature, the behavior of the
guests is most delicate task to gov
ern, so that otfense will be given to
neither side.
The general rule is that the guests
are to be as much at home, talk laugh,
and make themselves amuSing, just as
ii royalty were not there, and to treat
the prince with just sufficient intimacy
to crafty his desire for complete ease
and freedom from restraint, without
once infringing upon the respect due
to the heir of the throne, golden
mean which only the most consum.
mate tact and good breeding can en-
able any one to preserve.

pected to do great execution among
the birds. For that reason extraordi-
nary arrangements we're made weeks
in advance. The grounds were not shot
over and the birds we're allowed to be-
come quiet. The earl purchased over
a Thousand extra birds from London
dealers and set them free on the estate
to increase the number of targets.
Skilled gamekeepers were drilled
every day in the work of driving the
birds toward a spot which had been
carefully selected for the prince, and
three men we're detailed to reload his
guns and do everything but sight the
weapon and pull the trigger. With
these elaborate preparations it was
hoped that the prince would make some
famous bags, but as nothing has been
said about them in the London papers,
it is quite safe to assume that he met
with moderate success. II such were
the case, it is quite easy to understand
why Lonsdale was in 'an ugly humor.
as for less cause than this the royal
displeasure has more than once been
visited uIon some unfortunate.
But there we're many other avenues
opened for a possible cause Of annoy
ance. Whenever the prince makes a
visit it is understood that the cuisine
is absolutely under his direction, and
if the chef bs 80 unfortunate as to be
unable to meet any demand made upon
him, the results are disastrous. This
necessitates the laying in of an endless
variety of edibles. The prince expects
TO have everything served to him ex-
actly as directed, no matter what rare
delicacy he may fancy, and the prince
is no mean epicure. If there be the
faintest fault in the cookery he recog-
nizss it in an instant.
Every day the chef prepared an elsb-
crate menu, and after passing through
many hands it reached the prince.
Sometimes he changed it completely,
and at others elaborated or cut it
down. If the vintage of certain wines
did not strike his fancy he named

TOUGH TRIALS
The Host Suffers for the Slightest Infrnction Of

One of the most delicate and difficult

it, and if everything passes off smooth
ly they do not mind the money, al

tact and the rarest diplomacy are the
only safeguards for success, and as
these qualities do not often exist in a
superlative degree, defeat end appre-
hension are usually the result Of a
fortnight's visit by some of the royal
family.
The Earl of Lonsdale has recently
passed through the experience. At

Castle, in the north of England, he

Let Us Be Consistent

The Chronicle is not averso to saying
that in its opinion law compelling the
closing of the saloons on Sunday has no
justification in logic and very little in ex-
petliency. There can be no halfway
course between complete sabbatarianism
and entire liberty. If it he misdemeanor
to sell beer on Sunday it is unrighteous to
sell 'pop." The case in all essentials par
allels that of the BARRIERS. If a man may
not be shaved on Sunday why should he be
permitted to get his boots blacked? If he
must not "brace up" with a cocktail before
church, why let him clear his head with
bromo seltzer?-Chicago Chronicle.

Soft is the wind OF The west,

And kiss the wild blooms

attitude which 1t had assumed toward the

graduating the latter upon having sup
pressed DIR. Jameson's raid responded to the
feelings of all Germans, adding:,"We are all
proud OF IL and repel unjustfable criti-
csms."
The minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marshall Won Biberstein, then reviewed the
recent events in the Transvaal, and, In so
doing. stated that the government knew abb
solutely nothing about any request from
President Kruger for the Intervention Of
Germany in the affairs Of the South African
republic. Marcshall Won Biberstein added
that the British government had with the
utmost energy adopted the necessary meas
nres after the unlawful incursion OF DR..
Jameson, and that no responsibility rested
upon Great Britain for the boodshed
Continuing, the minister for foreign af-
fairs stated that the relations between Ger
many and Great Britain had not ceased to
be normal and friendly, and he repudiated
against the independence Of the Transvaal,
adding: such policy would be swept
away before the Indignation Of the people,"
Herr Richter. the peoples party leader,
said that the emperors message reflected
the feelings of the Germans; but he added,
1t was desirable that such monarchical
manifestoes should not become a permanent

Herr Bebe, the socialist leader considered
that the message was an dndirect provoca-
tion to Great Britain ann expressed the
opinion that similar course would not be
ventured upon in regard to France or Russia.
This statement caused a great stir in the
