DIVORCES IN ENGLAND.

According to Statistics Man Is Gen.
orally the AgSrieyed Party.
Publication of the divorce court sta
tistics of England reveals an anomaly
of interest to those familiar with di-
vorce proceedings in this country. The
most surprising feature. about them-so
surprising, indeed, that were not the
figures absolutely beyond reproach, the
advanced woman would probably loud
~ protest against their fidelity-is that
the aggrieTed party in these matri-
monial suits proves on about three oc-
casions out of five to have been the hus-
band. Only 220 wives found occasion to
petition the court for release from the
bonds of matrimony, the same applica-
ton having been madeby 353 husbands
The occupations of those who passed
through the divorce court seem also
worthy of note. Clerks, curiously
enough, head the list of suitors in these
causes, though builders and carpenters
bracketed as equal run a very good sec
ond. There were So of the clerks on
the cause list during the year in ques-
ton and 30 each Of the two latter call
ings. Painters an d merchant seamen
and officers follow next with 21; SOL
diers and naval seamen with 10; farm
ers with 16; coachmen, cabmen and
carriers with IS, and commercial tray-
elers with H. The professions, it is
rather surprising to find, come far be-
hind the trades. There are only ten
physicians and surgeons, five solicitors
and-mirabile dictu-two journalists.
The rear of the list is brought up by a
solitary barrister.

LANDSLIDE EXPOSES COINS,

Millions OF Pieces of Chinese Money
Washed Ont by Rain.
A large find of old coins, which have
lain hidden underground for over 1850
years-since the time of the three king
doms-was accidentally brought to
light last May in the Chushan district,
in northwest Hupeh, during heavy
downpour of rain, says Shanghai con-
temporary. May 4 a considerable tract
of land washed off from a hill, and the
landslip exposed the hidden treasure.
The villagers in the neighborhood
fiocked to the spot to help themselves
to it, and the news of the strange dis
covery was at once telegraphed his ex-
cellency Chang Chintung, who ordered
the local officers to gather the coins
with all dispatch.
1t is said that the quantity gathered
represents as many as 1000, 900 strings

LIFE IN SMALL CITIES.
More Comfort, Happiness and Sue
cess Than in the Big Centers.

THE higher salaries of the larger
cities is, perhaps, what attracts young
men more potently than any other fac
tor" writes Edward w. Box in theh
Ladies Home Journal" pointing out
Where Success Awaits Young Men
in .ha smaller cities. But, unfortu-
lately," he says, las thousands of
young men have found for themselves,
these salaries are not SO high as they
were led to believe, nor will the city
income buy as much in the metropolis
as they bargained for A salary of
$1,000 a year in the big city will not
bring a young man the comfortable
living which 81, 900 a year means to
him IN the smaller community With
a far more moderate salary the rising
young clerk manager or business man
in the small city lives like a king in
comparison to the man of equal posi-
ton in the large center If he earns
$1,000 or $1,000 a year he has his own
little home, by lease or purchase. For
$50 per month he can have his own
pretty cottage, with Gods pure sun
shine on four sides of it. His children
have their own grass plot for their
playground. His porch is his evening
pleasure and his Sunday delight. Trees
shade his street, cool his rooms and
make living a comfort. His friends
live all round him. He knows the man
who lives next door. His neighbors'
children are his children's playmates.
His social life has a meaning to it: it
is a joy and an exhilaration to him.
When he goes out in the evening it is
into a home gathering where every
face is familiar, and where he is known
and welcomed. He has time to read.

peated all over Russia But to under
stand the truth you must be acquainted
with Tolstoi's most private and intimate
affairs. He is not alone; he is a mar
ried man; he married when he thought
very differently on social questions to
what he does now, and his wife does not
at all share his social views He pre-
fers simplicity, but he feels that it would
be unjust for him to force his family
to live in the way that he thinks best.
He handed the bulk of his property over
to his wife many year sage, but even
if he had not done so she could, if she
wished easily have obtained from the
authorities an order to this effect. His
wife maintains her house in the ordi-
nary style of Russians of her class, but
to Tolstoi all this personal luxury is
abhorrent and painful. He takes no
personal share in it, and lives as a guest
IN the house Of his wife; although he
may sit at the dinnertable on which
there are many viands, he confines him
self to his own simple vegetarian diet;
ne does everything for himself; he
cleans his own room, and employs no
servant to wait upon him.
Pardon the interruption, NJ. Tchert-
koff, but does he really keep his room
clean and tidy?''
We'll, perhaps if you saw the room
you would say that it did not look as
tidy as one might like-Tolstoi has not
the spirit of tidiness, and does not
trouble to have all his things nicely ar
ranged, as many of us prefer; but that,
Of course, is a matter of temperament -
Does he still engage in manual
work?"
Yes. Having no farm of his own, he
cannot till his own soil, SO he goes and
helps his poorer neighbors to pillow the
land and sow their seed. He also en-
ploys himself in boOtmalSing, and can
put together pair of shoes. Then he
engages in chopping wood for the
stoves, and woodchopping for a Russian
fire is very different from what you do
here, for wood is used in Russia in con-
siderable quantities as fuel It various
other ways he works with his hands.
He also gives several hours each day to
writing"
Are his family entirely out of sym
pathy with him?''
by no means. They all feel for him
a very deep affection, as it is hardly
possible for any one to know him with
out doing. His two eldest daughters,
especially, share his views and help him
largely in copying out his work and in
answering correspondence OF course,
he does not employ any paid Secretary
or copyist, as that would be quite con-
trary to his negative attitude toward
money and hired labor. '-London Daily

1t is not only an earnest patriotism
but long experience which teaches US
to see in our Federal Constitution an in
strument of remarkable wisdom and sa
gacity. Of recent years there has been
much scholarly study of the sources of
the Constitution, which has enhanced
the respect and veneration felt for the
charter of our liberties. We have been
taught to look to colonial experience
and the brief but instructive history Of
the Articles of Confederation, for the
precepts which prompted the trainers
OF the Constitution to select so much that
was excellent and to reject so much that
was ineXpedient in establishing the
new Government. We cannot but well
come research which extends our
knowledge of the sources from which
the Constitution was drawn. "A Com
parative Study of the State Constitu

Of Political and Social Science, No. 200,
Philadelphia), by w. c. Webster, probes
into the beginnings of organized indie

States. 1t presents painstaking and
scholarly summary of the first State
Constitutions. They were adaptations
of the previous colonial charters, but
the strong common sense of our ances-
tors led them to eschew political ex
pertinent ana proceed in their construc-
tive work with remarkable practical
wisdom. That they made mistakes is
not to be denied, but their plan of work
was eminently sane. The political ge-
MUS of the American people, which
manifested itself in our Federal Consti-
tuition, had it's earliest expression in the
State Constitutions. 1t is this which
gives to the consideration of these early
tentative efforts in constitutional and
representative government an absorb
ing interest In them we see reflected
the growth of governmental forms
through a succession of written instru-
ments, which serve to maintain con-
servatism without impeding progress.
