DYSPEPSIA AND DIVORCE.
A Case of Cause and Effect, with
Numerous illustrations.

Bad cookery and slovenly house
keeping were the direct causes of four
hundred divorces in the city of Chi
cago last year. This statement, by
the head of the Chicago bureau Of
charities, furnishes every housewife
in the land with a subject for serious
reflection, for husbands tempers and
digestions are equally frail in Maine,
Illinois and California, and divorces
know not geographical limits. Dur
ing 1907. it appears, four hundred de-
serted wives who applied at the
bureau of charities for assistance, and
later obtained divorces, admitted that
they could neither cook nor keep
house." and of course they could not
expect to keep husbands. For these
unhappy marriages the men them
selves were to blame in great meas
ure, and they need not pose as objects
of popular sympathy. Why did they
marry women ignorant of the first re-
Quisites of happy domestic life?
If this unfortunate condition Of af-
fairs is paralleled elsewhere, so
biologists win have to wrestle with the
knotty problem of how young man
before proposing matrimony may

FACTS ABOUT FATAL ACCIDENTS.

The old law of compensation as in
terpreted by Carlyle, Emerson and
other philosophers of both
ancient and modern times seems to
find it's verifcation in recent reports
of the Census Bureau showing that
the proportion Of deaths from acct
dents in the United States is increas-
ing. According to this census report,
the proportion of deaths from acct
dental causes in 1900 was SIG in a
total of 1000 deaths from all causes.
In 1890 the proportion was only 53.7.
Some curious facts brought out by this
same report are that the death-rate
due to accidents and injuries is high
est among persons forty-ive years of
age and over; that the average age
Of death from accidents is about thirty
three and a half years, and that the
warmer months show larger proper
ton of fatal accidents than the cooler
ones. In March the country is more
dangerous place to live in than the
city, and in May and June the reverse
is true. 1t also appears that a per-
son is twice as likely to die from ac-
cident as from old age, and that &C
cidents happen more frequently and
kill more persons in the Rocky Noun
tain regions and on the Pacific coast
than in the Atlantic states. On the
whole it appears that nearly per
cent. of all deaths in the United States
are due to accidental injuries. One
obvious moral to be drawn from all
this would seem to be the increasing
need of exercising caution among the
complexities of modern life.-Leslie's
Weekly.

DIE TO GET sEALsKINs.
Risk Death to Secure Furs to Deck
Women's Backs.

Hunting the seal from the icy,
storm swept coast OF Newfoundland
is not sport; it is toll, whereby in
part the Newfoundlander wins his
scanty measure of bread. The hunt
is a slaughter, dull and hideous-a
leap into the whining and scurrying
pack, and the swinging and thrust or
an iron shod gait, merciless raining
of blows, with silent waste of ice
There is no sport in this, nor is there
any fear of hurt, for the seal pleads
and whines like child, even while
the gait is falling; but the chase is
beset with multitudinous and I'M
foreshadowed perils.
The wind gathers the ice into foes
and jams it against the coast, an inn
measurable, jagged expanse of it in
terspersed with plains; then the New
foundlander takes his gait and his
food and his goggles and sets out
from his little harbor, starting at
midnight that he may come up with
the pack at dawn. But the wind
sweeps the ice and inevitably sweeps
it out again without warning in an
hour, or a day, or week; nor does
it pause to consider the situation of
the men who are twenty miles off
shore. 1t veers and freshens AMI
drives the whole mass, grinding and
heaving, far out TO sea, where it
disperses it into its separate frag,
ments.
The lives of the hunters depend
upon the watchfulness of the at
tenuated line of lookoouts. from the
women on the headland to the first
sentinel within signaling distance.

A NIGHT IN A KINGS TOMB.
A Lone Woman's Adventure in an Out
of-the-Way Corner of the Globe.


Writing in the Housekeeper of some
of the many odd places in which she
has slept during her travels around
the world, Jessie Alderman says:
While travelling in that most interest
in section of India, Cashmere, heard
of a wonderful tomb OF some ancient
king and was urged not to leave the
country without seeing it. 1t was
about a days journey from where
was stopping and | started on the trip
one morning in a government cart
tBritish) with a native guide, who also
acted as interpreter, and coolie driv-
err. Expecting to return that night,
took neither bedding nor baggage.
Winter was just setting in and men
looked wise as we started that morn
ing, predicting all kinds of unpleas-
ant weather. The road was aban-
doned during the winter because it
led over great waste, and no provis-
ion was made for travellers. Fifteen
miles from our destination an acct
dent befell our horse. Darkness was
fast gathering. The only possible re-
fuge was the kings tomb, which we
had started to see, so we decided that
the only thing to do was to walk the
distance. | have always been fond of
walking, but | cannot truthfuny say
that I enjoyed that fifteen-mile tramp
through the cold and darkness. Reach
! ing the tomb at last, we decided that
| it would be best for me to take up my
quarters within the tomb, the guide
remaining with me, while the coolie
walked to village some miles further
on in search for announcer horse 1t was
| dark beyond description inside the
tomb, and when the footsteps of the
coolie could no longer be heard, every
| sound, save one, died away on .ne
stiffness of the night. l made my way
cautiously to the furthest corner, CROP
ing along against the wall of the tomb,
thinking to take what comfort could
be had from so miserable a situation.
| No sooner had / settled for the
night, than | heard the most weird,
unearthly sound that ever pierced
human ears The uncanny place had
suddenly taken on the atmosphere of
lie. There was sound of rushing of
wings that froze the blood in my
veins. My heart seemed to have
stopped beating. Suddenly discov.
cred what it was. A horde of horrid
bats had awakened from their lethar-
gy and simultaneously started on a
tour of investigation. Bats are ugly
creatures. would rather have six
teen active babies all clutch my hair
at the same time than surrender my
locks to one sportive bat. especially
of the Indian variety Their wings
and shrieks became rhythm to
which my tired senses kept time until
blessed slumber came, and the morn,

from whom the children learn foreign

more difficult Russian. This com
mand of language makes possible the
fact that Russians have a better
knowledge of the worlds affairs than
any other people.
Lake Erie affords a good opportun-
ity for studying the effects Of the wind
on an inclosed body of water. Its
trough, fifty miles in extent, lies about
in the direction of the west to south
west winds that prevail there, and a
great blow from that quarter sends
the body of water eastward, so that a
rise of eight feet or more takes place
hours. When the force of the gale has
passed, the water swings back.
Some missionaries lately returned
from Japan say there is a great de-

There exists among the cottage gar
deners of the village of Broughton-
Monchelsea, Kent, England, an organ
ization which goes by the name of the
Sparrow and Rat club, the members
being banded together for the whole
sale slaughter of sparrows and rats.
1t was stated in the annual report
that during the past year the society
had been responsible for the death
of 2,121 rodents, PSI bullfinches, and
1924 sparrows, yet there seemed to be
no appreciable diminution in the num-
Der of the pests" 1t was also men
toned that the secretary was i'll, the
cause being that some time ago he re-
ceived a parcel containing several
hundred of sparrows' heads in an ex-
tremely high" condition, and large
package of rats tails!

Incubator for Crows.

A farmer in Pennsylvania has
taken contract with a Chicago
milliner TO furnish crow heads for
ornament at % cents apiece. Now,
the crow is tricky bird and not
easily caught, and ammunition costs
money But the enterprising farmer
has a scheme of his own, which is
nothing less than a crow incubator.
He has about 100 hen crows and
about dozen cock crows that he has
trapped. The eggs, as fast as they
are laid, are put into the incubator,
and in fifteen days the little crows
are Matched and two weeks later are
ready to be beheaded and made into
adornments. This is said TO be tbs
only crow hatchery in the world. and
Farmer Billings is proud of his idea.
