What is the difference between a 'separa-
ton and "divOrce?'-R. A. B.
divorce is an order of a competent court
| dissolving marriage and placing the par
ties to the decree as if they had never been
married, except that one of the parties may
or not be compelled to pay certain sum or
sums of money to the other party. A separa-
ton is limited DIVORCE it recognizes that
the parties cannot live together and that it
is better for the public welfare that they
| should not, but it does not dissolve the mar
| riage. 1t gives alimony, perhaps, but it
does not terminate the wifes DOVER rights
as a divorce does. 1t simply allows the par
ties to live apart with the sanction of the
law.

| Please give a brief summary of the adj
| vance of Russia in the East?-X. u.
| The Russian movement eastward began
in the 'fifties." The Crimean war was due

though she was defeated in the war and,
seemingly, gained nothing, she, in reality,
lost little In 1877 she made a second move
against Turkey, and though she won was
not allowed to get all she wanted from
her victory. But Turkey was CiSmembered,

ence. In Asia. meantime Russia has been
