DIVORCES BOYCOTTED.
Ministers Will Marry Only the limo
cent Parties.

Ann Arbor, Mich, July 1.-Two per-
sons applied to the Methodist minister
here last evening to be married. He
ascertained that the woman was a
divorce and refused to act. They went
to the Baptist minister. and were re-
fused again.
It was then ascertained that the
Methodist, Baptist, Congregational,
Presbyterian Church of Christ and
Trinity Lutheran clergymen held a
private meeting a few days ago, at
which they decided that only in cases
where the unoffending party secures a
divorce for scrfptural reasons will they
perform the marriage ceremony. The
congregational and Presbyterian min
listers said that in the most extreme
cases for other causes they would Off
ciate, but only after a rigid investiga-
ton.

GUESSED AT CENSUS.
Why Cofeyville Received Such a
Large Portion of the School Funds.

Independence, July 11-There has been
considerable comment by the different
towns of this county during the last
two years over the amount of money
received by the public schools of COfey-
vile from the state school fund Up
to within a week ago Coffeyville claim
ed to have a school census of 2576.
There was SO much talk about it be-
ing too large that the school board of
COffeyville employed another man to
take a special census. This shows that
there are only 1872 persons of school
age in Coffeyville, which is nearly 800
less than it was reported. Coffeyville
has received 1920 more from the state
school fund than should have been re-
ceived. The COffeyville school board
will return this amount of money to
the state school fund. The person who
was employed to take the census at
first has admitted that it was only an
estimate and that he only guessed at

The Marriage Belt.

An Industrious statistician has con-
structed a marriage belt for the coun-
try. He has mapped ort the continent
in connubial lines which show the re-
gions of high matri monial pressure,
Some of his results, are curious. For ex-
ample, he finds that college bred women
do not marry to the same extent as I'M
taught womeo. He accounts for it by
saying that large share of them are
educated for teachers, and schoolteach-
ing and matrimony are still held to be
incompatible. The marriage rate varies
with the density of the population and
the overeducation of the sexes and it
is not uncomfortable that we may be
able in time to educate marriage out of
civilization. According to the figures
which this Industrious man has dug up,
the marriage rate is highest where the
sexes preserve their RELATIVELY and do
not encrCach upon each other indus
trially or socially. They were made
Complementary, and marriage is the
result of a natural polarity, which arti-
fetal life tends to destroy or obstruct
All this is deduced from the increase of
the marriage rate as the observer leaves
the hotbeds of civilization and travels
into the sparsely settled region.

According to The Saturday Review

The other is the skull Of the great
Richelieu. At the time of the revolu-
tion in France the body of the duke
was exhumed from it's grave in the
Church Of the Sorbonne. The head was
cut off and eventually came into the
possession Of a grocer, who afterward
sold it to NJ. Armez. M. Armez, after
the restoration, offered the head to the
minister Of foreign affairs, who took no
notice whatever of the offer. In 1916
the illustrious Montalembert, president
Of the historical committee Of arts and

head, but without success The fact is
