CURIOSITIES OF DIVORCE,
Thirty Thousand Mere Divorced
Women Than Men According to
Official Figures.

Theer are 10000 -lore divorced wom-
en- than there are divorced men in the
United States, the official figures be-
ing $4,000 divorced men and 114,0O d.
vorced women. The disparity is ac-
counted for by the fact that men pro-
curing divorces or from whom d.
vorces have been procured more often
rem2rry than the women under like
conditions. states the New York Sun.
The number of divorced men is
largest in Indiana. which has $500.
There are more than 1000 each in
California, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
New York and Pennsylvania. Texas
has $500 and Massachusetts 2.50C.
South Carolina, the only state which
has no law authorizing or permitting
divorces, has 275 divorced men among
its residents, and South Dakota, a
state which has become noted by rea-
son Of the facility with which divorce
is granted, has 5G3.
New Jersey has. proportionately
very small number, $50, and Kansas, a
much smaller state in population,
much larger number, 2,165.
In Utah, where plural marriages
were the rule among the M1rmons un-
til recent years, the number of di-
vorced persons is 335, a little below
the average, and Idaho, with about
half the population of Utah and a co.,
siderable proportion of Mormons, has
400.
The state in which there is the
largest number of divorced women
divorced and not remarried) is Ohio,
with 1900; Illinois has 1900 and Texas
$500.
After Texas comes New York and
then Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan,
Missouri, Massachusetts, and Califor-
mia. All these have more than 1000
each.
In some of the southern states, Ala
bama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina and Ten
nessee among them, the number of d.
yorced women is twice as large as the
number of divorced men.
In Alaska there are more divorced
women than divorced men; in Hawaii
there are more divorced men than d.
yorced women.
Indiana, with a population 100000
less than Massachusetts, has $4,000 di.

graphing Tor clans there, until now,
as the season closes, few clans are left
on the sandbars. A few months or six
weeks more on this river will clean it
out entirely, and perhaps forever, OF
pearl-bearing bivalves.
The next most promising field is the
Cumberland river in Kentucky. Here
the pearls are very valuable, but very
scarce, and 1t is doubtful If it will be
worked to any great extent. When
this river is dragged clean, whatever
domestic pearls there are left must
come from the Mississippi, and these
are so poor and so scarce that fishing
for them can scarcely be called an in
dustry.
The Arkansas pearls have been Of
a particularly fine quality, some OF
them far excelling the Oriental pearl,
and pearl dealers in the United
States, until they saw the beginning
of the end, have been happy. Now,
however, in view of the fact that
pearls are rapidly becoming more pop
ular, and promise in the future to be
the rival of the diamond, jewelers. will
be much affected when the domestic
nAnrl has become rare article.

CLANS DISAPPEARING
Those in the Mississippi May Soon
Become Extinct.
The Manufacture of Pearl Buttons Il
Making the Discovery of New
Fields Necessary to Keep
Up the supply.

Pearl-bearing clans are disappear
ing from the sandbars of the Arkan-
sas and the Mississippi river at rate
that threatens to make the species
extinct in less than two years. The
beginning of the end has commenced,
and unless new fields are discovered
soon the pearl-fshing industries OF
the United States will be thing of the
past, says a report from Memphis,
Tenn, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The reasons for this are manifold.
Of late years the demand on the clam
have been more than it could stand.
In addition to its ''prize-package"
manner of yielding up pearls, the she'll
of the bivalve itself is of value. Dur
ing the past year rs factories for the
conversion of clam shells into pearl
buttons have been erected at Musca-
tine, Ia. This now makes So in this
one town alone, in which the clam
shell is made into articles of CONNER
cial value.
Early in the year shiploads of clam
shells began to be exported, and this
has been the means of disposing OF
whatever surplus yield there might
be and has also raised the price so
that now pearl fishers are no longer
obliged to grapple all day for nothing
in the hope of bringing up prize BIZ
valve. These shells bring from SIP
to SIS a ton, and can readily be sold to
barges in which they are taken from
the pearl,fshing regions to the fac
tories.
Two years ago the Black river in Ar
kansas was the greatest pearl-yield@
ing river in the United States, but its
30 miles of sandbars were worked by
such an industrious gang Of fortune
hunters that nearly every clam was
removed from its bottoms in less than
nine months. Flushed with their sue
cess these hunters than swarmed out
on the Mississippi. In this river the
pearls are scarce and not so valuable,
and not much was done in the way OF
getting rich until Very valuable pearl
field was found in the White river IN
Arkansas.
Thither hurried the pearl fishers.
All the past season they have been

EYES OF OUR CHILDREN.
glasses for the Guidance of
Parents.

We dwell at length upon the care
of the eyes in children, because it is
at this time of life that the greatest
danger to vision exists, writes y. b.
Norton, in Atlantic. Furthermore,
when proper care has been given to
the eyes in early life, we enter adult
life with better eyes and better UNI
Outstanding of their requirements.
In all classes, men, women and chill
dren, there is an inherent prejudice
to the use of glasses, but to those
suffering from retroactive errors the
use of the correct glass is one of the
greatest Blooms to humanity. We ac-
knowledge that the prevalent error
of all oculists is the too early and
frequent prescribing of glasses. In
many instances the use of glasses
can be avoided by the correction OF
some deficiency in the balance of the
extrinsic muscles of the eyes which
may be the cause of the asthenOpic
or reflex symptoms. In all cases OF
decided retroactive errors, however,
the use of correcting lenses is a ne.
cessity. When glasses are required
they should be given proper care by
the wearer. We have often seen pa
tients wearing glasses so scratched
and dirty that a great effort must
necessarily be made to see through
them. In using eyeglasses they
should never be folded, as they soon
become misshapen and scratched.
For the same reason glasses should
not be thrown carelessly upon tables,
stands, ETC., and when out of shape,
nicked, and scratched, they should
be repaired or new ones purchased.
After the correct lens has been Sc
lected, care should be taken that the
frames are carefully adjusted by a
competent optician, as oftentimes inn
properly fitted frames destroy all
the benefit that would have resulted
from the glasses.

UNCLE HIRAM ON CITY LIFE.


Yes. it's lively in the city where they've
got their 'lectric lights,
And the people soon have wrinkles from
their stayin' out o. nights;
They've got shows and things to keep 'em
from a-gittin' lonesome there,
And they look ALFRED stylish in the costly
clos they wear,
But l guess they have their troubles just
the same as me and you,
And l reckon that they're often ruther
worse'n ours, too.
We've got wood piled in the woodshed
thatn last year er so,
And there's more out where that come
from and more saplin's still to grow;
We amt worried over coal strikes, let the
cold winds blow away;
We can carry in the billets and not have a
cent to pay;
While they're shiverin' UP yonder where
they've got so much to see
We can heat up fer the babies that the
LORDS sent you and me.
There is always somethin' dom to make
city people sad;
If 1t amt sausage famine, why you'll hear
the waters bad;
When the strikers stop the street cars then
the dickens is to pay,
And the people have 10 foot It, gittin'
dubbed along the way,
And the fever epidemics and the smallpox
every year
Keep the city people Stewin', and I'm glad
TO live out here.
Oh, It's quiet in the country and there's
few uncommon sights,
And Coos moon and stars up yonder have
10 do fer 'lectric lights
But with taters In the cellar and with
wood piled, in the shed,
When there's hay stacked in the haymows
fer the stock that must be fed,
They can have their noisy city, with the
sights up there to see,
And the kind old quiet country will be good
enough fer me.

Children in the Pennsylvania Min
ing Regions Are Such.
Have Little or No Schooling and
Grind Out TheI' Lives in the
Breakers for the Smallest
of Wages.

In the anthracite coal regions of
Pennsylvania there are thousands of
men who began life at the breaker and
are ending there an existence which
has been all dark, hopeless struggle.
1t is not at all eXaggerat'ng the
facts to say that the condition of child
hood in the mining region is one APP
preaching slavery, says the New York
World. As a child the boy starts in
picking bony' at the breaker, and as
an old man, bent and twisted with age
and often deformed by accident, he
comes back to the breaker to finish his
hard career picking bony" with the
little boys who are just starting out
On the life that he has led.
Without schooling, and never too
well nourished even when the mines
are being operated on full time, the
little boy goes to the breaker and
day after day sits astride chute down
which the coal passes from the break
er to the cars or the storage sheds. AS
the coal runs along under him he picks
out the "bony" or, as it is more COM
monty known, the slate, and throws 1t
to one side. His wages are 50 cents
day.
If the little boy can get enough to
eat to nourish his body and make it
grow, there comes 4 time some day
when he gets a promotion, and he is
sent into the mine to tend a door. For
that he is paid 60 cents Gay 70 work
in the darkness and CRIME, opening
and shutting the doors as the cars Of
coal are drawn through by mules.
If the door boy doesn't get run over
by mule car, killed by fall of rock
or have his life snuffed out by an ex-
plosion, he will some time be given an
other promotion, this time to be a
driver of a mule, and then he will get
~ to so cents a day.
His next step in the line of promo
ton will be to the ranks of the labor
ers. This will not come to pass until
he has become a nina, and not even
then unless he is powerful man, with
muscles like iron, for laborer in a
coal mine needs to have great strength
and endurance.
The laborer is usually paid S1.70
day, when he has work, and out of that
he has to buy the oil for his lamp, so
that he is really not as well off as the
common day Iaborer who works on the
streets above ground.
The only compensation for the la
borer is that he can learn to be a miner
after a few years.
The $3.50 a day which the miner
earns is not the $3.50 which a mechap-
ic on the surface would get from his
employer, for out of it he muse pay
for the oil and powder he Uses, in get
ting out the coal, and he aust ais EcY
the company's blacksmith for sharp
ening his tools.
The oil and powder are furnished
by the company at price in excess Of
its retail price elsewhere. The miner
buys his provisions at the company's
store, and at company's store prices,
and, ordinarily, he lives in a house
owned by the company, or paying
ground rent to the company which is
much the same thing.

Embroidered white linen collars
with the new Chancellor tabs in
front, and mounted on slightly
curved bands are again worn with
day costumes by those whose COM
plexion will permit the use of this
heavy Opaque white. They are worn
with a quaint brooch in old-time
fashion, and the tabled cuffs to
match turn hack on the wrists Of
the closely-ftted dress sleeves, re-
ports the New York Post.
To wear with afternoon and even
ing voiles, silks, cashmeres, ETC..
there are fchus and cape collars Of
white mousseline de sole overlaid
everywhere with applique lace in a
fat design. Some of the prettiest OF
these accessories are in drop yoke
shape fastened at the back, the yoke
and standing collar having an all
over vine-like pattern of lace APP
plique, while the extreme edges OF
both are finished with a medallion
band of cluny, Venise guipure, or 9TH
er lace. This adjustable drop yoke
reaches low on the front and back OF
the bodice. Similar collars of black
silk muslin are trimmed in the same
way with white applique, for those
who object to all white, and there
are also styles in butter color, ticelle,
and black and white all-overs.
White velvet round hats with black
and white ermine tails coiled here
and there among the soft velvet
draperies, are one of the new fancies
in millinery. The hats are finished
with a torsade of black velvet which
crosses the crown, traverses the eX-
IRENE edge of the brim and ends in
a large soft crumpled rosette at the
left side.
The darker velvet toques are newer
in shape than most of the seasons
headwear. Nothing could be more
becoming with an afternoon costume
than one of these styles, neither eX-
aggerated in size nor uselessly small.
An attractive French model in black
Lyons velvet has full knot of the
velvet just in front, the draped sides
sottened by shaded velvet autumn
leaves coming against the hair to-
ward the back. A golden brown vel
vet toque similarly made, has red,
green. and russell velvet foliage in
termingled with the silky folds of
the velvet on each side of the hat.
New fall and winter models Of Nor
folk coats are brought out this sea-
son which can be worn as independ-
ent garments or to match the cos
tune. They are made of English
frieze, Sutherland tweed, Scotch
cheviot, Cravenette, faced cloth, and
the lightweight Venetians. These
coats are not closely fitted. The silk
stitched Norfolk plaits are applied
after the garment is put together.
A curved belt of medium width Is
passed beneath these plaits. The
fronts turn back with reyers that
form nOtches with the ends of the
rolling collar, and the plain coat
sleeves are simply finished with
stitched strap cuff.

Amnities Never Sudden.

There is more of ideal love and mar
rage in the world than it is the fashion
to believe. Affinities are not so rare.
But they are made, not born. After all,
what are affipities? People between
whom attraction is developed to max
jmum, who think and feel and act in
entire sympathy. 1t is improbable
that two people could meet and discov-
er bond of perfect sympathy. Such a
condition would be too good and great
to gain without a struggle. No two
people have the same training and ed
ucation, the same environment, the
same conditions for the formation of
character and inclination. We must
make our ahinities.-Cosmopolitan.

In "The Prologue of the American

campaign:
"All the besieging troops were on
foot in the best attire they could COM
mand. In the three Connecticut regi.
ments no uniforms were visible ex'
cept as officers here and there had
chosen to provide themselves, or pri'
vate wore the dingy old coat that had
done service at Louisburg years be
fore; but graduations of rank were
shown by colored ribbons. Plainly
dressed though they were, the men
looked formidable with their big mus
kets, the barrels four feet long minus
two inches, the bore three-quarters OF
an inch in diameter, and the cleaning
bayonets IA inches in length.

things had not improved much during
the wear and tear Of the siege. But
they allhad regimental coats, at least
distinguishing the regiments by the
color of the facings; and Montgomery
declared that somehow they had ac-
quired the look of regulars. There.
