A Puzzle For Ornltho1oglsts


Ornithologists have been much inter
ested during the past few weeks by
the appearance of the quail in Done
gal County, says the Westminster Ga
zette. The bird has been unknown in
that part of Ireland for many years
The disappearance Of the quail from
Ireland is one of the standing ornitho.
logical puzzles of our islands. In the
early part of the century it was fairly
plentiful, and no satisfactory leasoS
has been discovered for it's departure.
Numerous attempts have been made
to induce it to return, but the imported
stock which has been turned out has
always gone away within the season
If quails should not come back of their
own accord we should have an ornith'
illogical mystery of the most interest

Marie Edouard Valiant, Socialist, one OF
the Deputies for the Department of the

Government to prohibit the manufacture

Medicine. The resolution was aimed at
absinthe, the consumption Of which has
nearly doubled in France since 1894. and
now stands at 100000 livres annually.
NJ. Valiant and others denounced the
spread of absinthe drinking, and laid
stress upon its ravages among the popula-

HORRIBLE EGvORCE RECORD.
In Indiana the Marriage Relation
May be Dissolved In Ten Minutes.


May be Dissolved In Ten Minutes.
The episode Of marital infelicity
which resulted in the granting Of d.
vorce by Judge Dunno on Wednesday In
less than ten minutes after the appli-
cation was filed by the wife, naturally
calls public attention to recent statis-
tical disclosures regarding divorces In
this country.
Perhaps the most interesting Of these
statistics, because compiled under state
authority, are embodied in the report
of the state statistician Of Indiana.
This report shows that during the year
ending June 80, 1901, the total number
Of marriages in the state was 24,007 and
the total number of divorces granted
was 5000, or about 13 per cent. The
divorces granted to wives were 1857,
to husbands $50, while 3S3 were granted
upon mutual desire for separation. It
is significant that Of tie total number
Of divorces granted to wives 1872 were
for abandonment by husbands and 9O1
for cruel treatment.
The International Law Association,
which recently met at Glasgow, and
which gave up one session to discus
sion of the divorce laws Of civilized ma
tions, reached the conclusion that there
was no hope of reaching anything like
uniformity in these laws. In the case
before Judge Dunno, in Chicago, where
divorce was granted in less than ten
minutes, it Is noted that the only charge
preferred by the complainant wife was
Cruelty" The husband had shut a
door in such way as to tnjure her
hand. It was very plain, however,
that both parties were desirous Of
separation and that the husband was
quite willing to pay alimony to be re-
lieved of his marital burdens.
In this episode may be discerned the
reason why the people Of the United
States must bear the national disgrace
Of standing at the top Of the list or ma
tions In number Of divorces granted.
In no other country in the world. with
the possible exception Of France, are
divorces granted for such trivial causes.
The petty quarrels and disagreements
that frequently result in charges OF
cruelty" merely to secure legal separ--
alton would not be seriously considered
by the courts Of many European coun-
tries.
| In a single year the divorces granted
in this country were nearly twice as
many as those granted in all the other
countries of the. world. The divorce
Statistics of one year show that in the
United States 23,472 divorces were
granted, in France 6,245, in Germany g.
161 in Russia 1,7S9, in England 50S.
1t will be seen that the smallest num-
ber of divorces in any given year Is
credited to Great Britain and Ireland

Plain and Wholesome, without Any
FrflIx or FurbelOws.

FrilIs or FurbelOws.
At intervals of eight or ten miles
along the public highway, usually In
connection with the skyds stations, are
inns, where the traveller will invariably
find the comforts If not the luXuries of
life-plenty of food and shelter, bed
and board. There Is no upholstered
furniture or velvet carpets or eggshell
china; but always neat lace curtains at
every window, sometimes in the win
dows Of the stables. A luxurious Amer
lean will have to deny himself much
that he is accustomed to at home,
and will encounter experiences and
customs that are new and novel to
him. But If he is reasonable in his re-
quirements and behaves himself like a
gentleman, he will always meet with
hospitable although a homely welcome.
The Norwegian hotel-keepers measure
our appetites by their own and give you
so much to eat. particularly at the noon
dinner, that you are stupid and sleepy
all the rest of the day and snooze In
your carriage when you ought to be ad-
miring the scenery.
There is no style about the hotels and
the service is poor. The household
work is all done by the landlord and
his wife and daughters. There are no
electric bells. and if you want anything
you usually have to hunt for it and
help yourself. 1t Is the custom of the
country for the travellers to make them
selves at home. and you are sometimes
compelled to look after your own lug

doors, for none are needed. Burglars
and thieves are absolutely unknown.
The bed rooms are barren Of orna-
ments and easy chairs that we are ac-
customed to at home. There are no
carpets and no rugs on the floor All
the appurtenances are plain and sub
stantial, without any effort at show and
very little idea Of convenience. The
beds are good: but usually the only
cover Is a comfortable seven or eight
inches thick and as heavy and unwieldy
as a feather bed. You can't tuck 1t In
at the bottom nor at the sides and 1t Is
always sliding off to the floor. It Is too
much covering for an ordinary sleeper,
and when the nights are warm as they
often are, you are compelled to choose
between q chill and suffocation. The
pillars are another nuisance. There is
usually a bolster of feathers about the
size Of barrel and q little bit Of four
by nine pillar an inch or two thick,
with pretty trimmings upon it. The big
pillow Is too big and the little one Is
too small, and you solve the dilemma
by rolling up your overcoat into ball,
and using that instead. There is plen-
ty of fresh. heavy homemade linen,
large square towels that have been
woven under the same roof during the
long winter days.
The breakfast is abundant and often
terrifying. You are at first confronted
with five or six different kinds Of
cheese, an equal variety Of cold meats,
timed fish, smoked herring and salmon,
cold boiled ham, three or four kinds Of
cold sausage, strips Of fried reindeer
meat and half dozen different jams
and preserved fruits. You are expec-
ted to partake freely Of that sort Of
provender and usually do so, until you
learn by experience that dried fish,
boiled eggs, veal outlets and other hot
food will soon follow If you are patient.
The coffee Is usually good, and there is
always an abundance Of rich, thick
cream. There Is no warm bread; but
five or six kinds Of cold bread baked
from wheat, rye and oat flour, besides
the national "fatbord," which no Nor
wegian table is ever without.
The dinner is a formidable affair af
ter the fashion of the ordinary Euro
pean table d'hote, with soup, fish roast,
salad, preserves and pudding, while
for amman Won oct the same assortment
Of cheese, cold meats, fish, sausage and
preserves that you have for breakfast,
and two or three hot dishes. Fish is the
staff of life and salmon the mainstay.
It Is served in some form at every
meal, fried at breakfast and supper and
boiled for dinner, with strips Of cold
smoked salmon of a deep rich color on
the side at all meals. The lakes and
rivers are we'll stocked with salmon
trout. which are caught in nets and
kept alive in tanks until they are
needed. You enjoy the first five or six
meals: but after you have had them II
or 18 times In succession they begin to
lose their relish. Beer is the ordinary
beverage. Everybody drinks it. Claret
and Rhine wine can be had at the lar
ger hotels; but never any whisky, BRAN
dy or other strong liquors. Local op-
ton prevails throughout Norway, and
in the country districts the sale Of spir-
ituous liquors is forbidden.-W. E Cur
