WE LEAD IN DIVORCES.
Recent Statistical Disclosures Not Grati-
flying for National Pride.


flying for National Pride.
The Chicago Herald calls attent.o
to recent statistical disclosures regard
ing divorces in this country. Perhaps
the most interesting of these statis-
tics. because compiled under state
authority, are embodied In the report
of the state statistician of Indiana
This report shows that during the
year ending on June 80, 1901, the total
number Of marriages in the state was
granted was 5000, or about IL per cent
The divorces granted TO wives were
1857, to husbands 659, while 1888 were
granted upon mutual desire for separa-
ton.
The International Law Association,
which recently met in Glasgow, and
which gave up one session to a discus
sion of the divorce laws of civilized
nations, reached the conclusion that
there was no hope OF reaching any
thing like uniformity in these laws.
In the case before Judge Dunno in Chi
cago, where a divorce was granted in
less than ten minutes, II is noted that
the only charge preferred by the COM
plainant was cruelty. The husband
had shut a door in such a way as to
inJure her hand It was very plain,
however, that both parties were de-
sirous of a separation, and that the
husband was quite willing to pay ali
mony to be relieved Of his marital re-
lations.
In single year the divorces grant
ed in this country were nearly twice
as many as those granted in all tina
other countries of the world. The di-
vorce statistics of one year show that
in the United States 23,472 divorces
were granted; in France, SPAS; in Gel
many, 6,161; In Russia, 1889: in Eng
land, sos.

sibly to himself, certainly to his
friends. Mr.. Whistler. besides being an
artist born, was born cosmopolitan.
This country claims him and educated
him at West Point. But he was reborn
in Paris, is something more than an
Englishman--a cockney; and he has
been mistaken on his travels for a me-
tive of Russia, where, in fact he passed
part of his early youth.

The Australian suny,p,

There is some talk of project for
organizing a hunt for specimen of the
Australian bunyip, an animal that
many believe to exist only in the imag-
nation of nervous natives and of those
white residents who are in the habit
of carrying colonial rum home with
them. There are many, however, who,
knowing the Australian bush well, be-
lieye that this curious creature may
yet be found, and not so far away in
the interior either. Lake George, in
the coast district of New South Wales
Is said by some to be home of the
bunyip, and search in that quarter
may be undertaken.

81 Just came down from Estes Park, |"
said Edgar wilson this morning. land
while there saw man who once out
ran a greyhound. l heard the details
Of the experience from the mans own
lips, and 1t was vouched for by half
dozen residents of the park.
The man was Fred Sprague, the
most popular ranchman in the park
and also the owner of one OF the finest
ranches. sprague Is great character.
Every one is fond of him and every
one has implicit faith in everything he
says. His own story about the grey
hound is about as follows:
~ was out with the dog hunting
deer and was beating about some
quaking asp bushes when Of sudden
the dog began to bristle up and growl.
! couldn't see anything al first. but it
was not more than a minute before a
big grizzly bear, the biggest l have
ever seen and | have hunted few

out of the bushes not more than fifty
feet from me.

of the house here. / only had one shell
in the gun and that shell was not man
ufactured for bear, especially for big
grizzlies when they are nearly on top
OF you. looked around for a tree and
there was none handy. About this time
the dog made up his mind that he
couldn't climb tree anyway, and de-
cided to light out.
You know the fiat top" is pretty
steep mountain, and the dog took
straight down the slope. Well, when
saw that dog start l started, too.
took one look at the bear and he was
ambling right along in my direction,
and | could see him grin.
The dog had the start OF me, and
led for the first 200 yards, and then
passed him. For few seconds after
ward heard the bushes crash and the
stones roll behind me and wasn't dead
sure whether ii was the bear or the
dog and didn't slack up to see. could
tell from the noise that was gaining.
and before I got to the camp at the
foot of the mountain / couldn't hear a
thing coming. II was three minutes
afterward when that greyhound got
into camp
There were four men in the camp.
and all of them swear that Mr.. Sprague
did not exaggerate. They say they
saw him coming down the mountain
and each step he took covered a dis

VARYING FOOD OF THE WORLD.
Dietary Problems of Great Inter
est to Farmers

Dietary Problems of Great Inter
est to Farmers.
Doubtless many interesting facts and
some important ones will be brought
out IL Professor Atwater Of Wesleyan
University gets his additional $4,000
year from Congress to spend in in
vestigatng the dietaries of the nations
farmers, wage workers, negroes, Chi
nese, poor whites" and other people
There is already an annual appropria-
ton of $4,000 for general studies in
food and nutrition. says the New York
World.
Yet when each half in America has
become informed as to what the other
half eats. the world will be full OF
problems of the diet. 1t will still puz-
zle most of us to note that while the
Turkish porter or Japanese rikisha
man becomes steel muscled on rice
with dates added in the case OF the
Turk--the sturdy English workman
has increased his meat consumption 81
per cent IN twenty years. 1t cannot be
climate that makes the difference. Rus
STA Is cold, but 1t has hardy peasants
who live on thin vegetable coup, sauer
kraut, rye bread and ell. In parts OF
Italy ehestnuts are staple food.
Yegetarians and the flesh eaters dis
pute endlessiy. The plain liver draws
a moral from the bon vivant and vice
versa. We read of happiness in $780,
a-plate banquets and satisfaction in
11-cent dinners. And out of the whole
matter the one general truth which
looms unchangeably Is that the aver
age man eats and thrives on what he
likes-if he can get 1t.

Jerusalem Coins.

In all the European collections OF
coins they were for long time classed
as Mohammedan coins, writes Dana
Carleton Munro In the international
Monthly. 1t was formerly one of the
great problems in numismatics to ex-
plain the non-existence OF any coins
of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Many coins struck by Christians in the
Holy Land are still enormously sup
posed to be Arab coins. In the thir-
teenth century some Christians were
wounded in their consciences by the
minting of such coins with the Mos
lem religious texts. Pope Innocent ".
forbade it under penalty of excommu-
nication. Saint Louis forced a modifi-
cation. SO that a Christian legend re-
placed the Moslem text, and minute
cross was inserted In an inconspicuous
place. But the Arab letters were stin
retained for the legend. in order not
to shock the feelings OF the natives
with whom they wished to carry on
commerce. 1t is also very interesting
to note that some of the Mohammedan
rulers adopted similar device in or
der to further trade with the Chris
tians.

Thrift OF Norwegians.

Norwegians are surely the most
thrifty of Europeans. The average in
come OF the Inhabitants of Norway,
according to the census of 1901, is 326
kroner, or about sS5 year. Small as
this is, the people are able to save, for
there is savings bank for every 5000
inhabitants. one depositor for every
twenty-elght inhabitants, with an
average deposit of 119 kroner.
