NATIONAL DIVORCE LAW.

/ Many arguments have been advanced
to show the desirabiIity of uniform
/ divorce legislation throughout the
/ United States, but the other side Of the
case has not hitherto been presented in
! concrete form This is now done by Mrs.
/ Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Golfers
/ Weekly Mrs. Stanton complains that
most of the suggestions for the change
/ have come from judges and bishops. and
as judges and bishops are proyerbiaIly
/ conservative. their tendency would be
/ 10 make the laws in the free States more
restrictive than they now are, and thus
make il moro difficult for wives TO es~
cape from unhappy marriages. The ap-
plicants for divorce are chiefly women,
as Naquet's bill. which passed the Cham
Der Of Deputies Of France some years
ago, abundantly proves. In the 8rst
year there were 1900 applications. the
greater number by women Unhappy
husbands have many ways Of mitigating
their miseries impossible to wives. who
are financial dependents and burdened
with children. Husbands could easily
leave the country and invest their prop
erty in foreign lands. Laws affect only
those who respect and OBEY them. and
those made TO restrain unprincipIed
men fan with crushing weight on women.
A young woman with property of her
own can now free herself from an IN
worthy husband by spending & year

and in due time marry again. Because
an inexperienced girl has made a mis-
take, perhaps owing partly to her ad-
visers. shall she be denied the right TO

OLORY'S SHADOW.
By JAMES SHIRLEY.

The gIories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial
things;
There Is no armor against fate;
Death lays his icy hands on kings /;
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked seythc and
spade,
Some men with swords may reap The
field,
Aud plant fresh Iaurels where they
kill,
But their strong nerves at last must
yield;
They tame but one another still;
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
and must give up their ElurmuriHg
breath
When they, pale captives, creep 10
death.
The garlaHds wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty
deeds;
Upon Deaths purple altar now
See where your vic.or-~jet.m
bieeds:
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb;
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dist.

On the roof Of q tenement, dirty and hot;
poor little, little, pitiful thing

Yet its leaves kept their green and its blossom bright
Kept its glowing, original, beautiful hue
Through the of the the of night
The storms and the heat they ptless foes
But the little geranium laughed in their eyes
There things that little ge-aniun knows
IN the days that it lives ere in witheIs and dies
This it knows: That garden on earth fair
To the folk that toll in the tenement hot,
As the one spot of scarlet a-bossoming there

One Man Fire Department.

Last Friday morning at Whittet's lum-
Der yard Jimmy Whittet thought he
smelled rags or something out of the or
binary burning and organized himself
into fire department and began to in
vestigate from whence came the suspi-
cious smelling smoke. He discovered a
dense smudge coming from the chimney
on Harry Sons residence situated few
rods from the box factory The wind
blew the smoke toward the factory and
as it poured from the chimney and
rolled down the roof and the side of the
house it appeared to be a good starter
! for genuine fire. To make the appear
ance more realistic lamp was burning
in one of the rooms of the upper floor,
the window curtain being down Occu-
cupants moving about in the room be-
tween the window and lamp cast their
shadows on the curtain making the illu-
sion of the imaginary confiagration more
perfect. The Whittet Lumber Co., like
other progressive and up to date firms,
had equipped their lumber yard with

and naught did check his speed till the
roaring, seething flames were met. I'm
announced he entered, and like the wind
bounded up the stair Before the door
he stands, that door which separates
him from the fiery fend and human
agony. He draws a long breath and
raises his Flame Killer high above his
head and then throws the door wide
open and there before his determined
and astonished gaze he beheld-the lady
of the house in her morning attire comb
ing her hair. Though the outcome may
be amusing the motive was noble one
and plainly illustrates the necessity of
all having a supply of these Dry Chemi-
Gals to protect our own homes and prop
erty and our neighbours as we'll. And
our neighbors should be equipped to be
in position to return a like favor. This
done it would be almost an impossibility
for fire to get start. Should one
happen to be from home or our neighbor
discover the fire first, they would be in
position to come to the rescue and we
