DOMESTIC DIFFICULTIES.
Strange Divorce Customs in Vogue
in Various Countries.

Easy are the methods OF settling domes-
tic difficulties in Upper Burmah. When
a husband finds that his better half is not
the unalloyed blessing he had been led to
think, he calls into his house all the old
men and women of his village and ex
presses his desire to divorce her, and a
trial by candle is prosecuted.
The husband and the wife are each given
a candle, which they light simultaneously
at the oroer Of the eldest person present
and place in the middle of the floor. Then
every one in the house sits around and
watches TO see which candle burns out
first If the wifo's does so the husband
has right to divorce her, even against her
will and turn her and her relations out
of his house without more ado.
If, on the other hand, the husbands can
die burns out first, the wife has the OPP
ton and right of refusing a divorce or
agreeing 10 il, and turning her husband
and his relations out of the house, which
with ali the goods and chattels it con-
tains, hecUmes her personal property.
In CcGiin China, when husband wife
lind they can no longer agree they give a
dinner. 70 which they invite their rela-
lions and the patriarch of the village
The latter, during the meal, takes the
chopstick5 of the pair and breaks them
and by his action they are legally dl-
Vorced.
With a certain tribe of African savages,
when husband desires to be rid OF his
snouse-a fairly common occurrence-he
takes her TO the door of his hut or tent
ana strikea her across the back with three
PUSHES three times, crying, in mis- savage
tongue, at each blow, Wicked, naughty,
bad" which constitutes the tribal form
Of divorce
A husband in Madagascar may divorce
mis- wife for the most absurdly trivial Of
tense All he has to do is TO call his friends
and relations 10 the door of his house,
and in their presence give mis- wife
small coin and push her out, saying, Ma
dam, ] thank you; go" An underdone
dinner wiz amply justify him.
When divorce Is mutually agreed upon
by a Japanese pair, they wend their way
to the temple where they are accustomed

ing uudoue the scarf, they rise and de-

and chases a DELINQUENT boy around the
table. while the guests applaud pursued
or pursuer, as their sympathies dictate.
Finally believing himself TO be within
range the colonel launches a terrific kick
at the boy, which fails 20 land, but cends
his slipper soaring through the air into
the salad dish; and in the roar of laugh
ter which follows the colonel regains his
temper, RECEIVERS his footgear, and resumes
his place.
The meal comes 10 an end, and as we
cannot get into the custom house until the
next day, and the steadily increasing heat
is fast becoming uncomfortable we retire
to our room, don our pajamas and refresh
ourselves with a siesta.

Ing rays of the sun nave lost some of their
fiery intensity, and a cool breeze has be-
gun to bow over the scorched city from
the bay Our interest in the external
world revives and as dinner will not be
served until O'clock we sally forth On a
voyage of discovery. We may now go
comfortably on foot, but before starting
we make some inquiries, and learn that
we are not really In Manila at all. Manila
proper or as It is commonly called, old
Manila, is a walled city. perhaps q mlfe
square. on the opposite side of the Pasig
and distant more than mile from our
hotel while we are In Binondo, one OF the
important districts in the New Manila
which has sprung up outside the walls of
the old city and IN which we are informed

Prof. Dean c. Worcester of the University
of Michigan, in the Independent
I am going to invite you to enter the
city and walk its streets with me, and to
share with me some of the experiences
which fell to my lot in the course of my
residence at the capital of the Philip
pines.
Imagine that we have completed a tenn
pestuous voyage of three days duration
across the restless China sea, have entered
the bay, and are Approaching the city.
For a time we search the shore line in
vain for any sign9of its whereabouts; then
we see the spires of two OF three cathe-
erals and the masts Of shipping, and then
suddenly the city lies above us. It is or
level ground. but a few feet above the sea
at ats highest point, so that one part
does not appear above the horizon sooner
than another, and little idea Of the extent
and general plan of the city can be gained
from The bay.
AS we approach he mouth OF the dirty
river Pasg we slow down, and finally drop
anchor Just at the edge of the bar, where
we await the arrival of the pilot the cap
tain of the port, the port doctor and the
customs officers Quite possibly some Of
these worthless are asleep or occupied"
in which case we must await their conven-
fence; and it Is also entirely possible that

then that he made these sketches.
Speaking of Mr.. Gibson reminds me of
what a well-known portrait painter was
saying the other day about Gfbson's

far as 1 know. has never contended for
the pre-eminent Americanness of his girl
but his admirers have very much insisted
on 1t. What the portrait painter was say

thing but American. And he goes into

Continuing the argument, he contends that
Gibson S girl IS, after all, but an ideal
yized-though still pretty close-reproduc-
ton of Mr.. Gibson's favorite model, Miss
Davis, and that Miss Davis has an Irish
father and a Spanish mother and presents
in their most striking form the peculiar
charms of that unusual alliance. 1 con-

induce people to buy even an illustrated
weekly, when the daily paper that they
are going to buy anyhow, whether they
buy a weekly or not, offers them more
reading matter than they can possibly
dispose of between Sunday morning and
Monday morning. Under the editorship
of a man OF genius no doubt the weekly
paper might continue to flourish; but IN
the ordinary way, and as an established
form of periodical publication, it is little

SAM JONES ASA YELLOW Do G.

Rev. Sam Jones, who has de-
lighted in comparing politicians
to yellow dogs has consented to
himself to run for governor of
Georgia. Strange tosay, instead
of making his campaign on the
temperance question which would
have given him great strength
and embarrassed his rivals he pro-
poses to make it IN opposition to
public schools. The Georgia po-
liticians breathe moro freely as
they feared a prohibition crusade
was about to be thrust on them,
but they beliyed 1t will be COM
paratiyely simple job to defeat
Mr.. Jones if he bids for Gle ction
on account of his enmity to pub
lie instruction. Mr.. Jones argues
that the common schools are rs
much of a paternal institution
as would be an attempt on the
part of the state to clothe or feed
his children, and he holds that if
a man wishes to educate his fami-
ly he should adopt some other
method than that of depending on
the public pocket. He says that
the money annually appropriated
to the public school fund should
be spent in other improvements or
in a suppression of the liquor traf-
tic, with much better effect than
putting knowledge into the heads
which do not appreciate it. He
belives that bustling contact with
the world, such as a self-educated
,ian must necessarily experience,
is Of more value in developing
character than any assistance
which the public school system
confers.
This kind of argument may be
very satisfactory to Mr.. Jones,
but he evidently forgets that a
large majority Of voters save
money by the public schools. If
they had to pay for private tuition
they would pay out far more than
their taxes, amount to. The small
tax payers and Mr.. Jones will
find himself left by large majo-
rity on this proposition. He will
feel like that yellow dog when the
election is over.
