A SYMPHONY IN T.

The TRoopER's TRIP TO THE TROPICS.
The train, tearing through the tun-
mel, footed twice, terrifying timid trem
bling troopers, travelling towards Tampa.
Thirsty Theophilus Tutt, their trumpe'
ter, takes toddy, then took the trouble
to telegraph to Tarrytown to Trustworthy
Timothy Titball to try to tranquilize
Tabitha Tompkin's tears, Timothy tried
to turn Tabith's thoughts. treating Ia
bitha to trips to town, tickets to the
theatres, trolley tours, Town Topics,
tonics, Theodore Thomas tunes, tin
types taken together.
Tattling Tarrytown tell.tales told
Theophilus these things. These terri
bic tales tortured trusting Theophilus.
The tantalizipg thought that they took
trips together tried Theophilus' temper.
Touching Tampa, the tired troops tar
ried till the tide turning, they took the
tug Terror to the Trocha. There they
tramped through the thicket till the
two troops tusseled terrifcally together.
Then, TheopLilus Tut, the troopers
trumpeter, footed triumphantlY. tossing
torpedoes, took the troopers throug h
the Trocba's trenches. Thus tumbled
to the tomb, ten thousand Torreodors,
tormentors, treacherous tyrants, thieves,
traitors, orturers-terminating this ter
rible tragedy.
Theophilus thoughtfully transmitted
these thrilling tidings to Tabitha, ten
dered thanks to the troopers, then trans.
ferring three thousand treasured tro-
phies to thirty. two transports, thought
fully travelled toward Tarrytown-t4k-
ing the trip to Tampa, thence the
through train to Tarrytown.
Tabitha taking tea, talked tenderly
to Timothy, through the twilight till
towards twelve. They tardily turned,
there toweded the tall tired trooper,
Theophilus, trending testify towards the
trembling tempter, thrust towards Tim
othy three tropical tarantulas, till then
torpid.
These throwing their thin tenacious
tendrils to Timethy's throbbing throat,
tore the tissues to threads. Thus ter
minated Timothy's terrestrial tenancy
Thankful Theophilus takes Tabitha to
task. Tabitha tenders Theophilus two
tulips. Theophilus taking them trust

Divorces In Different Countries.

In Australia divorces have never
been sanctioned.
Divorces are scarcely ever known to
occur in modern Greece.
InHindoostan either party for slight
cause may leave the other party and
marry.
In the olden times the Jews had dis.
cretionary power of divorcing their
wives.
Divorces are scarcely allowed in Thib.
ct, unless with the consent of both par
ties. Remarrying is forbidden.
In Cochin China the parties desiring
divorce break pair of chopsticks in the
presence of witnesses, and the thing is
done.
Two kinds of divorces are granted in
Circassir. b. the first the parties can
Immediately marry again, by the sec
ond not for year.
Among some tribes of American In
dams the sticks given witnesses of the
marriage are broken as a sign of divorce.
If the wife of a Turkoman asks his
permission to go out and he says Co.
without adding "Come back again.
they are divorced.
In Siberia if man is dissatisfied with
the most trifng acts of his wife he tears
cap or a veil from her face and that
constitutes divorce.
In Siam the first wife may be di-
vo:ced, but not sold as the others may
be. She may claim the first child. The
others belong to the husband.
Among the Moors, if the wife does
not become the mother of boy, she
may be divorced with the consent of the
tribe and can marry again.
In the Artic region man who wants
divorce leaves home in anger and
does not return for several days. The
wife takes the hint and departs.
In China, divorces are allowed in all
cases of criminality, mutual dislike, jeal-
ously, incompatibility, of temperament,
or too much loquacity on the part of the
wife.
Among the Tartars if the wife is i'll
