Divorces Here and Abroad.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
No eruption Of Vesuvius since the de-
struction Of Pompeii and Herculaneum has
been more volcanic than the tremendous
agitation in Italy over the proposed divorce
law. The descendants of the ancient Ro-
mans have been shaken to their centers by
the debates concerning the possible sever
ance of marriage relations under the find
fngs of referees confirmed by the courts.
Romans legions of this era protest earn
estly against divorce express trains Of the
traditional Chicago and Sioux City kind.
Five minutes for passengers who want to
be divorced" was reported at one time to
be a regular announcement in palace cars
which made brief stops in Cook county. on
the shores of Lake Michigan in the course
of their Journeys westward. But the tend
ency at present is In the direction Of more
reasonable deliberation in the setting apart
of welded couples.
The old reckless methods of divorce have
passed out Of public favor. Divorces are
now looked upon askance, at least to some
extent, even in the Dakotas; and Italy will
probably. become placid in a few months
and no longer be in a turmoil over possible
legislation affecting the permanence of mar
riage ties.

Spiders and Music.
From the London Express.

An elderly lady who lives in her own
house at Buttes Chaumont, Paris and who
is the daughter Of one of the dictionaries
under the late empire. has discovered that
spiders are peculiarly appreciative Of mu-
sic. She has made great pets of them, and
her house is full Of spiders Of all kinds, on
whom she spends her time and fortune.
Her proteges are lodged in a large. airy
room, where she has provided every neces-
sary support for their different webs. Her
great favorites are immense black spiders.
which, with their hairy legs and great
bodies. look very repulsive to others.
When she is inclined to show off their
capabilities for music. she surrounds her
self with circle Of water to Keep off their
too delicate attentions and plays slowly,
softly. and in minor key on the harp.
From all corners of the room the spiders
run toward her. listening with evident
pleasure, but should she strike up noisy
gay, inharmonious strain, they scamper
back to their holes as though Disguised.
A curious fact in connection with this
story is that the lady bears the birthmark
Of q spider.

Art Books.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
An anonymous publisher, writing in the
London Outlook, discusses at large one Of
the most salient phenomena in his sphere,
the art book, which Of late has become ex-
traordinarily popular. He finds one expla-
nation of that popularity lying on the sur
face, where others have noted 1t before
him, in the development of Photographic
processes. After the engraving on wood or
steel came the photogravure, and now the
color plate is getting itself produced with
considerable success. Much has already
been done: The student can now find a
well-i1lustrated volume on almost any of
the old painters he wishes to investigate. In
some cases he may have to accept Ger
man or a French text but he may find it
in English again and again. In due time
the art books in our own language promise
to be as numerous as those In any other
1t Is all very cheering, but the situation
will not be altogether satisfactory until
two reforms have been accomplished. In
the first place, the art book must be made
cheaper, without any diminution Of its
quality. There is no reason why this could
not be managed. Photographic processes
do not need to remain expensive in an age
as inventive as this one. Furthermore,
while the reader wants as many plates as
possible, he would gladly spare a few Of
them for the sake of reduction in price.
Then something should be done to make
the fine art book less cumbrous than it
often is. Let the huge volume be cut in
two.

LEPRoSY IN FRANCE.
The Danger Lies Not in Contagion, but
From tuberculosis.

From the Golden Penny.
The revelation that leprosy exists in
France to such an extent as to call for the
erection Of a special hospital has caused
quite q scare in Paris. 1t appears that
there are nearly a score Of cases under
treatment in the ST. Louis Hospital. and
the municipal council has been asked to
vote $4,000 francs for the erection Of spe-
cial pavilion, so as to isolate them from tho
other patients.
1t appears. however, that leprosy is not a
contagious disease, and that the other pa
tents run no risk Of infection. The doctor
in charge Of the hospital. however, fears
that the lepers may be attacked by tuber-
culosis. to which they are peculiarly SUBJ
ject. AS cases of tuberculosis are treated in
the same ward, he thinks it better to erect
special pavilion for the lepers. This
declaration as to the non-contagiousness Of
leprosy will come as a surprise. to most
people, as it is a popular belief that the
disease Is contagious in the highest degree.
AS, however, there is not the slightest
grounds to doubt these declarations of men
Of the eminence of DR.. Allopean and his
aids, the Partisan need not fear the out
break Of an epidemic of leprosy.

the oven. Baked potatoes, baked apples,
baked beans, don't take long to prepare
and need but little attention while baking
It takes but a few minutes to stir up
a johnny cake, and If you have cold
meat left over from Sunday, with gravy"
to warm up, what more can you ask?"
And here Is a rule for a good old-fash-
granulated meal, one cupful Of -four. one
scant teaspoonful Of soda, one-half cupful
Of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, and un-
less eggs are too dear, one egg. Sift the
dry ingredients together then mix with the
egg and enough sour milk to make a rather
thin batter, and bake in a moderate oven.
If you have no sour milk on hand sweet
will do, using two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder in place of the soda. One secret OF
good success in making corn cakes of any
sort is in lavir- the batter thin enough to
give the meal a. opportunity to swell.

Over the fills:
the hills and Tar aws

Over the hills and far away
little boy steals from his morning play, .
And under the blossoming apple tree
He lies and he dreams Of the things to be;
OF battles fought and of victories won,
OF wrongs O'erthrown and Of great deeds done
OF the vaior that he shall prove some day,
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away,
It's oh, for the toll the HvelOng day!
But 1t mattered not to the soul afiane
With a love for riches and power and fame!
On, oh man! while the sun is high
On to the certain joys that lie.
Yonder where blazeth the noon Of day;
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far awayl
Over the hills and far away,
An old man fingers at close Of day;
Now that his Journey is almost done,
His battles fought and his victories won
The oldtme honesty and truth,
The trustfulness and the friends OF youth,
Home and mother-where are they?
Over the hills and far AWAY
Over the years and far away!

Bret Harte's Odd Blunder.
rom the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Jack Hamlin, sentimentalist. tenor, and
gambler, speaks his last word in the pages
Of Mr.. Bret Harte's posthumous story in
the Christmas number of The Sphere.
Sad to say. his utterances are Of a kind to
discredit his capacity as a card-player. We
are compelled to believe that he is not even
an amateur, that, in fact, he knows moth
ing whatever Of cards. Around the center
table" says Mr.. Harte,fr'a dozen respect
able members of the Hightown church, in
Guiding the parson. were gathered with
tense. eager faces. playing poker" They
are all shown in the accompanying illus
tration, and Hamlin speaks Of them as all
playing; yet the tyro knows that a dozen
people could no more play together at poker
with one pack Of cards, at all events
than they could at whist Had Mr.. Harte
forgotten. or was 1t that he never knew the
game which Is SO often mentioned in his
pages? t3 X

Kaiser's Art Work Spoiled.
From London Express

The indignation Of the Berlin population
has again been aroused by an abominable
piece of vandalism. For the second time
several of the magnificent monuments In
Sieges ALLIE here have been mutiiated. Fin
gers have been Clipped Off statues, and the
crowns on the white marble benches have
had the crosses knocked of. Five monu-
ments have suffered, among them that of
the Emperor William I. The number Of
policemen have been increased near the
monuments, which are strictly watched
night and day. The kaiser erected these
splendid monuments for his people and as
an ornament for the town, and has received
no thanks, only continual yexatfon.

Manure the Only Healer.

Medicine never did any person a par
ticle of good except by digestion, as
similation-going into circulation, etc.
No salve contains any healing prop
erty except as q protection to keep
away the effect of oxygen in the air,
dirt or any foreign substance from
coming in contact with the part af-
fected. The natural powers of our be-
ing possess the only power to heal.
Anything that may be done to assist
in a natural way is good-contrary,
bad. Give good food to make good
blood. Breathe good air, rest and not
overexercise TO the extent Of fatigue.
Then the body will recuperate. Then
the wound will be healed by healthy
serum that is secreted to heal all
wounds, not the salve. The salve pro-
tects from outside influence, while the
machinery within goes on with Its
work. Nature does it all.-Medical
