Where Divorces Are Difficult.

The divorce laws of Iceland form a
guarantee for the best protection of
women against the caprices of change
full man, says Ladies' Home Compan-
ion. If for any reason husband and wife
cannot live tremendously together and
decide to separate, they go before a
clergyman, who uses every power of
logic and persuasion to induce them to
reconsider their determination. Failing
in this, they are granted a letter of sep
aration, and each goes his or her own
way. If there is only one child, this
goes to the mother; if more than one,
they are equally divided, unless one of
the parents is regarded as unfit to train
them, in which case they are all given
to the other. After they have lived
apart for three years and are still i'll
clined to remain separated the injured
party may apply for a divorce, and if
the application is based on Scriptural
grounds it will be granted, leaving each
free to marry again. The fact that there
is no "social evil" ca the island shows
the high moral stairs of the women.

QUEER TRADE.
A Chicago Man Makes Money a Profess
sional Lemon Peeler.

A Chicago Man Makes Money as a Profess
sional Lemon Peeler.
A man has earned the title of Lemon
John because he knows how to remove
the peel from lemons and prepare them
for immediate use better, perhaps, than
any other man. He developed what he
regards as an art in a West Side saloon.
He practices it now in as many saloons
in the down town districts as he can
visit between midnight and dawn. He
is short, thickset, unassuming person
age and as methodical as he is deft with
his sharp little knife. He enters saloon
with mere nod of recognition toward
the officiating dispenser, steps hastily
up to corner of bar, reaches out me-
chemically for his supplies and gets down
to business at once. A lemon in his
hands seems to be in the power of a
magician and loses its hard, thick COW
ering with swiftness and sickness
that never fail to astonish an unsophis-
ticated spectator. 1t emerges from the
ordeal with only the filmy white cover
ing that comprises the inner layer Of the
peel, and this covering, when John is
at his best never shows a scratch or a
tear. The finished lemon looks as if it
had been subjected to some machine ap-
plication. This process is repeated until
the stock of lemons in the saloon esti-
mated as the probable supply for the
day has been exhausted Then John
proceeds to the next patron.
Saloon keepers use a large number of
lemons, and ordinarily their preparation
for use is made by the barkeeper at the
time he may be mixing drink. Then
he has not the time nor the skill to re-
move the bitter peel, and it often spoils
the taste of an otherwise pleasant bever-
age. When John appeared on the scene
and offered to do this work at nominal
cost, first one and then another gave
him trial, until his business is flour
ishing and apparently MONOPOLY

Her Idea of Humor.

How delightful they are, those people
who don't understand joke, to whom
the point in an anecdote is delusion
and snare!
Miss P. is a clever woman and an ex-
cellent teacher. But the solid sciences
are more in her particular line than
anything which savors of the article
called fancy.
Some years ago one of the children S
magazines printed an amusing little
jingle about young lady at an archery
party who became so alarmed at the
promiscuous flight of the arrows that,
in order to be perfectly safe from harm,
she seated herself directly in front of
the target.
Some days ago Miss P. was reading
aloud from bound volume of the mag
azine to some of her younger pupils.
She read this jingle and coughed over it
till tears came.
"Well, well. WE'LL" said dear Miss
P. "How true to life that isl 1 know
hundreds of young people who are just
foolish enough to bring their stools and
sit down in that very spot. "-Philadel-

Likes and DisIikes,

A woman was heard to make the as
sertion the other day that Gin nine
cases out Of ten we like people because
they like us, or dislike them because
they have failed to appreciate u.s." 1t
is something of an admission to make.
and yet to ce1s lain extent it is true.
We cannot help being influenced in our
opinions of others by their evident opin-
ions of us, for the person who is inter-
ested i'll what we say, who defers to us
and enjoys our society, naturally ap-
pears to us in favorable light. On the
other hand, the man or woman who
never notices us, who takes no pains to
conceal his or her Indifference or dis
like, need not expect to receive our
hearty good will and esteem. 1t shows
e touch of self conceit ON our part, and
yet it is human nature.
Sometimes, however, we misjudge
others by this feeling. We take unreal
sonable prejudices against people, and
perhaps by our very actions cause them
to dislike us, and then blame them for
t.-Philadelphia Times.

MUD BATHS.
How the Mushlil<e Mixture Is Prepared
For the Patients.


"The hot springs of New Mexico"
says gentleman from Las Vegas, "are
on the Santa Fe railroad, six miles from
Las Vegas, and they are situated i'll
basin about 80 acres in extent, sur
sounded on all sides b. Gills rising to a
height of from 800 to 400 feet, shielding
the place from wind and sand storms.
The mud baths which are famous for
their curative effects are only to be had
in two places in the world-here and at
Carlsbad, 1ermany-and it has been
shown that the mud found at the hot
springs of New Mexico and which is
used in giving the baths is of the same
chemical composition as that of Carls-
bad. 1t is very interesting 10 note the
formation of this mud or peat. 1t Is
formed by the vegetation which has
been washed down from the hills prob
ably century ago, and which, settling
among the rocks, has become decomposed
and formed into substance which is
practically carbon impregnated with
salts, magnesia, soda, lithia and various
other ingredients.
"This peat is gathered from the rocks,
dried and put through fine sieve in Or
der to remove the silicates, and after
this treatment it is as soft as flour. 1t
is then taken to the mixing room, where
it is put in large tubs and the water
from the hot springs mixed with it un-
til it is of about the consistency of mush.
The mud is now ready for use, and it is
taken into the bathing room, where the
patient is placed in a tub and covered,
with the exception of the head, and al
lowed to remain in the mud for from 10
to 35 minutes. The application of the
mud has an effect similar to mild
poultice and draws the impurities from
the body through the pores of the skin.
The patient is then removed from the
bath, placed upon slab and submitted
to vigorous rubbing, the chemical
composition of the mud being such that
it can be rubbed from the body with a
dry towel, leaving the flesh in clean
condition. A great many people come
to this place to take the mud bath treat
ment, and some marvellous cures are
effected. In one instance | remember to
have seen a man who was all drawn up
with rheumatism, and after two weeks
of this treatment he had been relieved.
The treatment is especially beneficial to
persons afflicted with neuralgia, rheu-
matism and skin diseases. denver

Buttons.

Nearly all the elegant buttons are
now shown in three distinct sizes de-
signed for one costume Many of the
smaller buttons are veritable jewels in
their artistic beauty of color and design,
and they are set exactly like actual
gems ON low mountings of whitened sill
yer or pure gold or pearl. Jet, plomb
colored enamel, and bronze buttons set
in riveted points are all familiar styles.
Some of the handsome jet and iridescent
cord passementeries have buttons to
match which are not intended to have
any strain upon them, but are merely
used as decorations all over the cloth or
other costume

''They say" said a citizen, THAT the
expert poultryman knows at sight just
where dressed chicken is from. OF
course he knows Philadelphia chicken
when he sees it, but they tell me that of
western poultry, for instance, he can
tell at glance whether chicken comes
from Ohio or from Illinois, and so on.

do this, and still | should be satisfied to

Deb's great socialistic movement is

Deb's great socialistic movement is
looked upon with curiosity by all inter-
ested in labor problems, but all alike are
unwilling to have the scheme started
anywhere in his own state. While the
tendencies of the race are moving almost
imperceptibly toward socialistic condi-
ton, as evidenced by the growing de-
mand of governmental ownership of the
public necessities, that ultimate condl-
ton will be as slowly realized as was the
republican form evolved from the NOR
archlal, and until the period of transition
has made its impress upon mankind and
prepared it for the change, the plan will
not be possible. Socialism as it is now
promulgated is symbolic OF revolution
and hence gathers to its folds the OUT
casts of society, who expect to gain by
great social upheavals. When Mr.. Deb's
bubble bursts, as it is sure to do, the sud-
d. n rush of the hordes of social outcasts
will endanger the equilibrium of all law
and order in the vicinity. Of course un-
til tried, the exact effects will not be
known, but it seems too great a risk to
gather together the irresponsible of many
communities, subject them to the dan.
gers OF greater privations than ever, and
IN the event of failure, endang ger the well
fare OF large part, perhaps, of the
country. Mr.. Bellamy's book presented
some very fascin~ ting phases, but at a
glance it could be seen that it was not
practicable, nor would it be until man
kind changed its nature.
