For 1000 marriageable persons of both sexes there are in France 45 marriages: in Holland, 49 in Italy, 50; in Austria, 51; in England and Denmark, 52, and in Germany, 53. On the other hand, the number of divorces pronounced in France is increasing with extraordinary rapidity. In 1886 the courts released from their marriage vows 2,920 couples. in 1896 no fewer than 7,051 divorces were pronounced, and, according, to the re- suits. which are still incompletely known. for 1897, it is stated that the number of divorces last year will be shown to have exceeded 5000.

and started northeast around the Bahamas.
A furious storm, warning of which had
already been sent out, overlook her, and in
her condition she was unable to weather the
gale. The strain opened rents in her hull,
which had been patched to enable her TO
make the Journey and she began TO fill rap
idlv. The Merritt took off Captain, Harris
and the crew from the sinking ship, and
she soon went down. The Merritt brought
in the captain and 1856 men, who will pro-
coed North by rail. No lives were lost as
far as known. The Merritt is now at quar-
antine. six miles from the city, communica-

quarantine, and the survivors of the Maria
Teresa came ashore. They lost al clothing
