France. In Italy there is no civil d.
vorce whatever at the present day, and
the Catholic church only grants what
are not properly divorces, but annullA-
tons Of marriage, In very rare cases,
and with the greatest reluctance.
Even in America every one can re-
member how divorce was spoken OF and
thought of until very recently. Within
q few years it was deemed to be some
thing very like a disgrace, and certain
ly q profoundly cynical and immoral
proceeding. To-day we can most OF us
count in our acquaintance half a dozen
persons who have been divorced and
been married again. Whatever we may
think of 1t in our hearts, or whatever
our religious convictions may be on the
subject, it has become so common that
when we hear OF a fragrant case Of
cruelty or unfaithfulness, by which a
man or woman suffers, the question at
once rises to our lips, why does she
not divorce her husband?" or, why
does he not divorce his wife?" We
have grown used to the idea, and II it
does not please US, 1t certainly does
not shock US. 1t shocked our fathers,
but we are perfectly Indifferent.
OF course there are many, perhaps a
majority. who though not Roman
Catholics, would In their own lives put
up with almost anything rather than
60 to the divorce court for peace. Some
actually suffer much, and ask for no
redress. But there are very many who
have not suffered anything at all, ex-
cepting the favorite 'incompatibility of
temper" and who have taken advan-
tage of the loose laws in certain states
to try a second matrimonial expert

seems still to be a prejudice against a

There are various forms Of honorable
political dreaming and Of dishonorable
political misunderstanding nowadays,
which we are accustomed to call collect

for hope of popular success upon their

Indications That Tell . Doctor what
You May he sufiering-From.
When q doctor looks at you in the
street he may know your ailments, says
the New York Journal. Facial express
sion can and does to a considerable ex-
tent indicate the character of disease
from a diagnostic and prognostic point
OF view.
Pain is invariably clearly written on
the face. Contraction OF the brow in
dicates pain in the forehead. Sharp
ness and contraction about the nostrils
indicate pain In the chest. A drawing
Of the upper lip indicates pain in the
abdomen. The upper third Of the face
is modified in expression in affections
OF the brain, the middle third in dis
eases OF the chest and lie lower third
in those Of the abdominal organs.
Heart disease is indicated by blue lips,
high-colored, notified cheeks, paleness
about the nose and mouth and pufi-
ness Of the face generally. Kidney dis
eases are shown by pufiiness of the
lower eyelids and pale face. There is
a drawing Of the muscles of the mouth

sardonic way In tetanus or lockjaw, an
intense expression Of mingled fear and
anxiety in hydrophobia and Of deep
anxiety in asphyxia. Then there are

cheek and pale face of consumption
and the dull, heavy, stupid expression
in the faces Of children suffering from
swollen tonsils or growth at the back
Of the nose.

Chicago Times-Her1ld. The sea gives

tides in that solidifying mass, whose
permeating waters are blacker than
the Styx.
But a bog can no more move from

was as nothing compared with this
new and awful danger. In a paroxysm
of terror he tried to stop Major-tried
with all his small strength to turn him
aside toward the open plain to check
his mad plunge into the open arms Of
the enemy. But for the first time. the
horse paid attention neither to the be-
loved voice nor to the tiny hands pull

full extent of a peril of which the
child was as yet only half aware it
would be hard to say. But little Dan
found himself going faster than he
had thought possible-faster-a fast
er-till the tawny, sunburned plain,
and the pitilesS smiling sky and the
nearer, greener foliage Of the willows,
and even the outlines of the dreaded
savages themselves became az so
many parts of great rushing, whirl-
ing whole, and all his strength was
absorbed in the effort to retain his
seat upon the bounding horse.
And so, like some vision from their
own weird legends, straight down upon
the astonished Indians swept the
great bronze beast with It's golden
haired burden! Down upon them and
through them, and away-till by the
time they had recovered from their
amazement there was a good fifty
yards between them and their flying
prey! And that distance, hard as they
might ride, was not easily to be over

After the first wild rush the Major
settled into steadier pace-a smooth,
even run, so easy to sit that the lad

puff of white smoke from the walls of
the fort, and a moment later the first

CHARGING THE HOSTILES.
A Brave Little Fellow Rides ThrOuah
Band of Indians


In the January st. Nicholas Gertrude
P. Greble has a story Of frontier life
called Danny and the Major" Dan
ny was the seven-year-old son Of an
army captain, and the Major was a
favorite horse. One day he was riding
him in company with his friend, a
Scotch corporal, when the horses of the
post were stampeded, and the corporal
was thrown and injured. Danny start
ed to ride for assistance, and this was
his experience:
Away to the north a cloud OF dust
marked the recent passage Of the herd.
On every other side swept the table,
land, empty and placid and smiling.
And beyond, to the south, stood the
fort and home. Danny took heart, set
tied himself in the saddle, and put the
Major into smart canter, holding the
reinS firmly, and trying to recall the
corporaPs instructions while he rode,
thinking with an eveE-recurring pang
of his friends condition, happy that
the distance to the necessary succor
was diminishing so rapidly, and total
ly forgetful Of the anxiety which had
agitated the veteran before the accI-
dent that had separated them
Suddenly, at the end of some fifteen
minutes of tranquil riding, as the
Major galloped along the edge Of the
timber which fringed the bluff. there
was loud cracking and crashing in
the bushes and a gayly decorated war
rony scrambled through them, his rider
grunting in surly surprise; while at
the same moment, from the thicket be-
yond, three other half-naked mounted
figures appeared and lined up in the
path which led to safety
The child's heart stopped beating.
His frontier training told him that all
that had gone before, even the trag-
edy which had darkened the afternoon.
