Sta tistics That Point TO a Division Of the

practice Of law in New York. where from 5000

law is not considered in his statistics.
Taking the last July calendar Of the Supreme
Court In the First Department this investigator
finds that there we're 1890 cases on II which
were divided among 2.i90 lawyers or firms.
Nearly 100 Of these lawyers had only one case
and more than 1900 Of them did not have as
many as six cases to try in a year. His figures
show that only five law firms In this city had
more than. lUo cases. and among these five
were found only one Of the great law firms
OF twenty-five years ago. OF these hVe .prrns
three represent large corporations which, from
the nature of their business, necessarily have

of the profession. The bulk Of court work has
passed into other hands and they are fast be-

Once really mated in spirit and In body,
nothing can separate two beinga Life

When two beings-a man and a woman

can put out he fires OF love in their
hearts.
Such marriages exist. Such loves are to

When the spiritual c~omradesh:p exists

sentiments, save to sweeten and
strengthen them.
With the background of the spiritual
