Give me 10 cents and 10 razors and
can keep going for a year. said
Il local barber.
Asked to explain his meaning he
said: Don't you know that there are
many men who make it business to
swap razors. They spend all their
time that way and they make II good
living mt it too. The average horse
jockey Is supposed to be good at tell
ing of the fine points of the animal
which he wishes to get rid of. He
amt one two. three with a swapping
barber. Why one of them fellows
can talk more razor in five minutes
than "A jockey can about hosses in II
week. A genuine snapper gets ahold
of bunch of old razors somewhere.
He cleans the handles, sharpens the
blades and then he is ready to begin
business. Selecting his victim he gives
him Il talk that the barber can't get
away from. The result is that the
snapper gets Il better razor than he
had and something to boot besides.
He. continues this process until he has
disposed of all his old truck. He still
has the same number of Iazors, more
money and meanwhile he has had
all he wants to drink and eat, These
fellows travel from one end of ,he
country to the other. Every year there
is one man comes to Akron. He has
hung the boys up more than once.
They are always looking for him eX-
pecting to play even. Its always the
same story however. The snapper
gets the best end of the deal"

TWENTIETH CENTURY

The subject of marriage and divorce | has been given much attention during | the past century, and three capable | writers have contributed 10 tn ChI is- tian Herald's Twentieth Century Sym posium the following articles. which will be found very interesting and which are published d by permission. Tne | first is by Bishop Samuel J. F'allows, | Reformed church of Illinois,: The new century should be charac- terlzed. in it's earliest periods, by tho passage of uniform and just divorce laws by the several statee. Whether congress has the power to pass a con stitutional law presC rit)inG the sam, conditions for obtaini +: divorce in atl l,he states is an open question. Emi- nent authorities do not Hgree upon the subject. Commissions jr lawyers have been appointed at different times % urge uniformity of action by the va rious state legislatures. Little howev- er has thus far been accomplished to- ward that und in any state.
 In all the states, except South Caro- Ena- which has no divorce laws, the vii olation of the marriage vows is an ab- solute cause for divorce.
 In nearly all the states physical inca pacity is a cauae, so is wirul desor- tior. The time os such wilful descrtion varies from six months in Arizona to one year in twenty states, tn two yea, 5 in ter states, to three yearJ in eleven states and to five years in thrre other states. Habitual drunker ness is cause in all but ter states. In prison ment for felony or conviction for felo- ny is a cause in al the states and ter. ritories except Gix.
 Cruel, abusiv@ treatment, intolerable cruelty, extreme cruelty. repeated cru ehy are causrs in all the states except seven.
 Failure to provide by dhc husband is a cause. the time varying from six months in Arizona to one va" in Gllri states, to two years in Indiana and tp three years in Dnlewarc. No time is specified in the remainder of the states.
 Fraud and fraudulent Contihcts arc causes in nine states.
 Absence without bring heard from is cause, varying from three years in some of the states to seven in oth- CTS. Voluntary separation for five years Is cause in Wisconsin.
 Ungovernabln temper. outrLges or excesses, are causes in a large number of states.
 Insanity. idiocy als the time of mar riage, incurable insanity. are causes ia several statrs.
 In different states other causes in- clude notorious immortality of the hus band before marriage but unknown tr the wife; when the husband is al fug.- tive from justicn; any gross neglect of duty: inability of husband and wifi 60 live in peace and union; vagrancy of the husband, etc.

from six months in six states to one year in thirty-six states and terrlto. rles, and three years In three other states.
 In thr state of New York absolute divorce is granted only for adultery.
 The ratio of divorces to marriages varies from one to six in some of the si.a,es, J an average of c,le to thir- teen or fourteen in othtr states.
 In Cook county, in which Chicago is situated, the number of default divorce cases, that is cases where only one side is hrard Is nine times that of the cases where both parties arc present in court. About five or six minutes Is the aver age time spent in hearing each case.
 Three thcusand courts, according to the government statistics. arn grant ing ddvorces in the United States.
 In 1890 these courts dissolved the marriage relation in 35OOO cases. From 1867 to 1886 they granted 32S, TIC divOrces. The number of children at fected by these proceedings was, sc- cording to the records, 267,73 Muiri- tudes of other children were not in cluded.
 The laws should be uniform through out the country, as l have stated, As churchman l might insist on one cause only for divorce-marital inf deity. But marriage Is civil contract as we'll as religious ceremony. The state has the right to prescribe other causes. But they ought to be of a grave and serious character.
 Christians must aim to prevent recf- less marriages. They must help devise stridtcr methods of legal administra- tiOn. They must strive to end the ano- maly of a mans having wife in one state who is not his wifi in another, where he may reside.

COLDS

The quickest relief, for a cold, is by Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil.
 We all have colds, you can try it and see. You will find the edge taken off in a night and, in three or four days, you'll be wondering whether that cold amounted to any thing anyhow.
 That's relief. If you tackle it quick, the relief is quick and complete, if you wait till the cold is in full possession of head and lung, why, of course, the relief is quick if it comes in a week.
 A little emulsion won't clear and restore your whole breath ing-machine in a minute; don't be looking for miracles.

RnisInG the Fec.

In that particular year II happened
that the national political convention
of which we are speaking was held in
some other town than Chicago, and the
place was crowded.
This Is how it came to pass that Colo
mel Hankthunder, who went merely as
prominent citizen of the republic and
had not taken the precautiOn to engage
a room beforehand, found himself shut
out of the hotels and compelled to
choose lodgings from a list of eligible
private dwellings.
The woman Of the house near the
corner of Fish street and Potato ave-
nue., the first residence at which he
called, showed him the only room she
had to spare.
THAT suits me, ma'am," he said
"How much will it cost me for board
and lodging here for the next four
daysT
WELL" she answered, this is not a
regular boarding house. and l am only
taking boarders because I want to ed
ucate my boy for a lawyer. 1 shall
have to charge you Sc for the four
days"
Madam" loftily rejoined the colonel,
taking out his pocketbook. you will
never educate your boy for n lawyer by
giving such an example as that. 1 will
pay you $10."-Chicago Tribune.

Conquest ana coIon1zat1ou.

The misuse of the term Colonies"
in referring to the PHILIPPINE Islands
and Porto Rico should be corrected.
These are not and never can be colonies
in the true sense of the word, because
they never can be colonized, as they
are already so densely populated that
they have no territory in which to settle
America was colonized by EUROPEANS,
but America was very sparsely settled
by then sprinkling of wild Indians
who inhabited the forests and lived by
fishing and hunting Australia and the
adjacent islands were colonized by
British subjects but they were wild
countries still more sparsely settled and
by more savage tribes than those of
North America at the beginning of the
sixteenth century. South Africa was
colOniZed by Dutch and French but
that likewise was sparsely settled
country, the climate being too severe
for the blacks who preferred to live
nearer the equator where clothing was
less of a problem and the cocoa and
breadfruit upon hich they subsisted in
that part grew without cultivation.
Siberia has been partly colonized by
Russians and there is still room for
another half billion of colonists for it
was and is a wild country as large as
North America, and has scarcely any
native inhabitants.
The conquest of country already
filed with people, as are the PHILIPPINES
and Porto Rico, and with people who
are getting all out of the land that any
body could, is not colonization. 1t is
mere conquest.

Thought He Grasped the Idea.

In the fifth grade of a grammar
school not many miles from the
statehouse the following story was
read by the teacher and the class told
to write it from memory: "A farmer
planted field of corn and placed net
over it as protection from the birds.
Next morning he found number Of
cranes and a stork caught in the net
The stork begged the farmer to re-
lease him, saying, L am a bird Of ex-
cellent character The farmer laughed
and said, You were caught in the COM
pany of these robbers, and with them
you must die"
Great stress was laid upon the word
character" the teacher explaining
that boy, girl or bird found in bad
company showed great lack of char
acter. The following is a copy Of one
of the papers actually produced and
handed in by one of the pupils, a boy
of IL:
"A farmer went out in the farm one
day and he saw character and between
them was a stOrk.
HE caught the stork and the char
acter. The stork begged the farmer
to se4 him free. But the farmer said
you were in there company and you
must die with them.
1.-THE stork said he was not like char
acter. am bird of freedom" -Boston
