only among non-Catholics, but even
among the Catholic laity, is great, and
1t Is for their information that 1 ven
ture as layman to pen these lines.
Strictly speaking, the Roman Catholic
church does not sanction divorce, which.
like so many people belonging to the va
rious Protestant denominations, it holds
to be contrary to divine law, taking the
ground that it constitutes danger, not
only religious, but likewise material.
since it is calculated to impair that d.
vinely appointed institution, the family.
with whose purity and permanence the
stability and prosperity of the nations
are inseparably associated. That this
latter view is well founded is shown bv
recently published official statistics which
demonstrate that the number of illegiti-
mate births, instead of being diminished,
are, on the contrary, multiplied in a
corresponding ratio to divorce, and that
the latter is increasing faster than the
population. In France, for instance.
where the population is stationary, d.
Vorces have increased IS per cent in the
last five years; in the Kingdom of Prus-
STA they have increased 20 per cent, while
in Alsace and in Lorraine the number of
divorces has grown fourfold during the
last five years.
GAVE UP A KINGDOM
How strongly the Roman Catholic
church feels upon the subject may be
gathered from the historic case of King
Henry VIII, of England, when 1t pre-
ferred to sacrifice the spiritual allegiance
Of an entire kingdom rather than con-
sent to recognize the principle Of d.
vorce, or to sanction the action of that
royal Blue Beard In putting away his
first wife, Queen Catherine of Aragon,
in order to marry her maid of honor.
Anne Boleyn.
There are, however, certain instances
where the Roman Catholic church con-
sents, not to a divorce, but to an an
nulment of the marriage ties. In this it
shows degree of breadth and of liber--
atty with which 1t is not generally cred
tied by those belonging to other denonii-
nations. For the grounds on which it
annuls marriages are such as would
constitute valid cause for the dissolution
of marriage contracts in the courts of
both the United States and Great Britain.

and Of his alleged connection with Prof.
Commons's retirement the Telegram
says:-
1.-THE stories that have appeared In re.
lation to Prof. Cosnmons's leaving tn
uniyerity have all been incorrect. The
true reason OF his leaving lies In the fact
that he was forbidden to attsck monopo.
lies and trusts By Chancellor Day. This
neither the professor nor the chancellor
will deny, and while IL IL not public

without doubts due to the fact that the

HABITS OF SPEECH

"Why DO educated parents allow
their children to contract habits Of IN
grammatical speech that will have to
be conquered in after life9' asked a
spinster of a mother.
Because they hate to worry the
poor little things about such matters
when they are young and should be
care free. 1t S SEEMS cruel to be all the
time correcting them and keeping
them on their good behavior. They
will have to learn the rules OF our
dreadful language all too soon as
it is."
Yes" said the spinster, "and in
addition to learning to speak cor
recsly they will have to unlearn the
tricks of speech in which they have
been allowed to indulge all their little

is much ridicule of old maids chill

reproved for such lapses. The child

SLURS TO WOMEN.

OF all evils prevalent among young
men, we know Of none more blighting
IN it's effects than to speak lightly of
the virtues of women. Nog is there
anything in which young men are so
thoroughly mistaken as the low esti
mate they form as to the integrity of
women. Not of their own mothers
and sisters, but Of others, who, they
forget, are somebody else's mothers
and sisters. As a rule, no person who
surrenders to this debasing habit is to
be trusted with an enterprise requiring
integrity Of character. Plain words
should be spoken on this point, for the
evil is a general one, and deep rooted.
II young men are sometimes thrown
into the society Of thoughtless or de-
PRAYED women, they have no more
right to measure all other women by
what the see of these than they have
to estimate the character of honest
and respectable citizens By the devel
opments of crime in our police courts.
Let our young men remember their
chief happiness in life depends upon
their utter faith in women. No worldly
wisdom, nc misanthropic philosophy,
no generalization, can cover or weaken
truth. 1t stands like the record Of
itselt-for it is nothing less than this
