cVRIoslTIEs OF DIVORCE.
10000 More Divorced Women Thar

sUSAsb sNSSSsN why w SedstSStSSs
There are $4,000 more divorced wom-
en- than there are divorced men in the
United States, the official figures being
$4,000 divorced men and 114,0OO divorced
women. The disparity is accounted for
by the fact that men procuring divorces
or from whom divorces have been pro-
cured more often remarry than women
under like conditions.
The number of divorced men is large
ly in Indiana, which has $780, There
are more than 1900 each in California,
Ohio. Michigan, Indiana. New York
and Pennsylvania. Texas has $500 and
Massachusetts $500
South Carolina is the only state
which has no law authorizing or per-
hitting divorces. 1t has 275 divorced
men among its residents. and South
Dakota, a state which has become
noted by reason of the facility with
which a divorce is granted, has $685.
New Jersey has proportionately a
very small number, $50, and Kansas, a
much smaller state in population, a
much larger number. 2,165.
In Utah, where plural marriages We're

sons is 1885, a little below the average.

BULLET PROOF VEST RIppLEp.
Invention of Chicago Priest Pence
trated by Bullets of 80 Caliber.

st. Louis Republic: After understanding
every other test the so-called bullet-proof
vest Invented and woven by the Rev Cas-
inner Zeglen, a Polish Catholic priest of
st. Stanislaus Catholic church, Chicago
was penetrated by several bullets from a

Three OF tie bullets cut clean holes

The garment had been pretty thoroughly
pounded by bullets in former test.
Thinking that possibly this had weakened
Its power of resistance a new piece of
the cloth was hung up. The 3S-caliber
weapon sent three bullets whizzng
through its meshes as they would have

Bullets from all the other Weapons used

TIE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
Dull Routine and Poor Fare az Ills Daily
Life.


Life.
The newly -nedged Russian soldier,
when his corners have been knocked
OFF, is drafted into a regiment and pre-
pared for the severe training he will
soon be forced to undergo in camp.
If he is in the cavalry he will have TO
rise at in the morning to look to his
horse; if in the infantry he must be
out and about by 6 a. NJ, cleaning and
mending his clothes as the first duty
Of the day. Early morning inspection
is followed by a call to prayers, ana
then the soldier, hungry enough by
now, eats his morning black bread and
rusks and drinks his tea, in prepara-
tion for the real work Of the day.
Every morning and every night the
Russian soldier is summoned to pray
ars. The services are as much a part
of the everyday routine as breakfast
ald supper No other army observes
so many religious ceremonies.
With drilling and riding, gyinlas-
tics, fencing and shooting, according
TO his regiment, the soldier works hard
until the tine for dinner arrives, be-
tween II and II. Afterward, until .
o'clock, he may sleep or rest Two
hours drilling is followed by tea. Be-
tween 6 and tho illiterates of the reg
iment study the arts Of reading and
writing in large classes. for in every
regiment they fern a goodly company,
Yhe teaching Is undertaken by officers,
and considering the simplicity OF their
pupils their duties are hardly envlable.
At o'clock comes supper; at the
men are again summoned to prayers,
and afterward may seek their hard
and by no means luxurious beds.
The Russian soldiers diet is largely
vegetarian. Favorit, dinner dishes
include "stche"-a cabbage soup-po-
tatoes, peas, beans, nacaroni and va
riOus kinds of porridges, eaten with
onions and lard. Only half-a-pound
OF meat is allowed each man daily,
and the Russian pound is ten per cent.
less than in this country. Mushrooms
| are consumed in great quantities when
in season. Three pounds of black rye
bread are included in the daily ratio1s,
and If any is left over, the men are ut
liberty to sell the remains. AS the SOL
diers bread is very nourishing and
purer than the ordinary bakers, the
extra rations sell well. In the way Of
drink beer is too great a luxury for
Ivan Ivanovitch, so quenches his thirst
with "qvas," a cheap substitute, made
from fermerted black bread, and very
wholesome. On high days the soldiers
arc regaled with vodka, often at their
officers eXpense.-Pearson's Magazine

Neither would thousands of others. We

have found that it is the one true specific
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
cases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures Indigestion Here is one

only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her TO be without bottle now"
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula Of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be withoutit at any cost.
