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 we're
wounded in their consciences by the
minting of such coins with the Mos
lem religious texts. Pope Innocent w.
forbade it under penalty of cxcommu-
nication. Saint Louis forced a modifi-
cation, so that a Christian legend re-
placed the MOslem text, and a 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 a similar device in or
der to further trade with the Chris
tians.

Thrift Of NorNeRiana.

Norwegians are surely the most
thrifty Of Europeans. The average in
come of the inhabitants of Norway,
according to the census of 1901, is 1926
kroner, or about $85 a year. Small as
this is, the people are able to save, for
there is a savings bank for every 5000
inhabitants, one depositor for every
twenty-eight Inhabitants, with an
average deposit of 119 kroner.

WE LEAD IN DIVORCES.
Recent StatiAsical Disclosures Not Graft.

Recent StatiA teal Disclosures Not Graft
flying fer National Pride.
The Chicago Herald calls attention
to recent statistical disclosures regard
Ing divorces in this country. Perhaps
the most interesting of these statis-
tics, because complied under state
authority, are embodied in the report
Of the state statistician of Indiana
This report shows that during the
year ending on June 30, 1901, the total
number of marriages in the state was
24007 and the total number of divorces
granted was 5000, or about 10 per cent.
The divorces granted to wives were
1867, to husbands $50, 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 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, it is noted that
the only charge preferred by the COM
plainant was cruelty. The husband
had shut door in such way as to
injure her hand. 1t 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 has marital re-
lations.
In a single year the divorces grant
ed in this country were nearly twice
as many as those granted in all the
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 6,245; in Ger
many, 6.161; in Russia, 1,7S9; in Eng
land, sos.
