The Landlords Mistake.

Lord Tennyson told the following
story on himself, describing an incl
dent Of his journeying in Scotland in
1890. After he had lodged all night
in an inn near Sterling, where he
was not known to the host, a gentle
man asked the landlord: "Do you
ken who you had WI you t'other
night?" "Na; but he was a pleasant
shentleman." at was Tennyson, the
poet" AN wha' may he be?" ooh,
he is a writer o. verses, SIGH as We see
i the papers" "Noo, to think o
thatl Just a pooblic writer, and /

marked; ooh, but she was an angell"

FACTS ABOUT DIVORCES.
Government Collects Some Interesting
Statistics on the Subject.

Government Collects Some Interesting
Statistics on the Subject.
The United States government has
collected statistics showing the dura-
ton of marriage before divorce, the
figures covering a period of 20 years
IN the last 80 years 100000 divorces
have been granted in the United
States. The figures for the last ten
years have not yet been published,
but for the 10 years from 1867 to 1886
statistics show that the divorce high
water mark belongs to those who have
been married four years.
Beginning with the one-year mar
lied people, the total is, roundly, 49,
600, Fer the four years married the
total is nearly double-27,OOO. Then
it grows much smaller, but until the
figures for those who have been mar
red nine years are reached, the one
year figure is not touched. The total
decreases steadily until the 2O-year
married number 1000. Those who
have been married 21 years and over
reach the enormous total of $4,000
Evidently compatibility need not in
crease as the years fly by.
In this class, however, a reversal Of
endurance figures is shown, for the
average duration of married life for
the husband is 4747, while for the
wives it is only 2G.70.
