DIVORCES IN ENGLAND.

1t is pleasant to be told that WOO
ing in England is, as a rule, the pre-
liminary to long and happy union
The latest statistics show that the
average annual number of applica-
tons for divorce does not exceed SIS,
that the number of Englishmen and
EEglishwomen who marry each year
is reputed at 100000. If we take the
ten years from 1856 to 1896, we find
that the annual number of divorces
has been about 500 and the annual
number Of marriages about 100000.
An English scholar has actually
thought it worth his while to collect
statistic in regard to the manner in
which men and women of his country
make love to each other. He has spent
considerable time over this delicate
work, and now at last he informs the
world how the men, as a rule, propose
to the women, and how the women, as
rule, accept the proposals of the
men. At one time it was the fashion

THE FIRST POLAR EXPLORER.

The hardy mariners who were the
pioneers in polar discovery achieved
wonders, considering that they had
everything to learn about methods OF
arctic work, and their vessels and
equipment were very inadequate. One
of the greatest of all arctic yoyagers
was the man who commanded tho
first true polar expedition, William
Barentz. He sailed from Holland in
1894 on the little tishing-smack Mer-
GURUS, and the object of his voyage
shows how ignorant the merchants
ANA seamen of those days were as to
the navigability OF arctic seas. Barentz
pushed into the unknown for the pur-
pose OF sailing around the north end
OF Nova Zembla and finding north
east passage to China and so for
month he skirted the wall of ice that
barred his way. seeking in every direc-
ton for a lane by which he might
travel through the pack, putting his
vessel about eighty-one times, and
travelling back and forth along the
ice edge for 100 miles. The highest
north he attained during this careful
examination of the ice edge was GA
statute miles south of the highest
point reached by Nansen, or STA miles
from the pole.-Harper's Weekly.

A FEW HINTS IN NURSING.

1t is very necessary to have plenty
of tact in order to manage the patient
we'll; and also to be loyal and honest
in carrying out the doctors orders.
When nursing, these orders depend
in great measure on what you OBJ
serve and report to the doctor. There
fore the better trained you are in
observation, the more accurate de-
tails you can give of your patient.
Notice as to sleep, whether 1t is rest
less, and the duration of it. If there
is any cough and Of what character,
if it be short and hard, spasmodic, or
loose, also whether there is sickness
or any expectoration; if such be the
case it is well to save what is brought
up for the doctors inspection. Re-
port as to the state of the skin,
whether there is any sweating or not,
or if the skin is very dry ana burning.
1t is we'll to see if there be anything
abnormal in the excretions, and when
necessary show to the doctor. Always
make a note of these observations and
If possible keep a sick-room chart
with everything of consequence writ
ten clearly upon it.
