ODD REASONS FOR DIVORCE.
Carriers in Husbands Pockets, Cold
Feet, Step-Children Assigned by
Some-Wife Says Husband
Ordered Coffin For Her.

New YORK, Jan. 3l.-Five-hundred
suits for divorce were brought in New
York county during the past year. A
review at random to discover the chief
cause OF marital unhapplneSs shows a
weird and astonishing array OF
accusations and counter-accusations.
|. Drunkenness and brutality on the
part Of the husband are underlying
causes of most OF the divorces granted
to women. Extravaganza, i'll temper
and neglect Of home on the part Of the
wife being most Of the husbands, to
the employment Of private detectives
and final appeal to the court.
Religious differences seldom figure,
save when husband wife disagree I'M
alterably concerning the education OF
a child.
Accusations against drunken wives
are growing more common than they
were a few years ago.
The wife who finds a garter In the
pocket Of Husband hobs professionally.
Step-children, cold feet and a tendency
on the part Of the husband to keep all
the money be makes are complained of
frequently. One woman accused her
husband OF making her go to a
masquerade ball while she was suffer-
ing with measles. Another woman
accused her husband Of coming to bed
from a cold bath without drying him
self.
One mar swore that the spouse OF
his bosom had dyed her hair ian i'm
proper red"
A wife complained that her husband
had insisted OF ordering a coffin for
her Another complained that her
husband made her live in a fat, while
another could not live with the man
whose name she had taken because he
''spoke only one language"

young women employed. From the
morning opening hour till these vast
hives Of trade close at night, these
young women are expanding their
energy and strength In serving their
masters and a critical public. Long
hours, close confinement, imperfect
ventilation, excitement, and brain
worry, sOo leave marks Of creeping
disease and sickness. Headache,
s~leeplessness, indigestion, constipa-
tion, neuralgia, rheumatism, and
nervousness makes the lives Of young
women miserable and almost unbear-
able. In thousands Of cases the traces
Of terrible blood troubles are seen in
the faces Of those who should look
comely and attractive.
To the class OF suffering young
women just referred to we would say
that Paine'S Celery Compound is a
blessed agent Of health and womanly
vitality. This medicine is a positive
and true nerve food and system
cleanser. II corrects any tendency 10

to appreciate the disadvantage Of bad
roads. The roads were impossible.
The rural mail carriers could not 90
out, and the farmers who had business
In Mexico had to walk, it being unsafe
TO come horseback, as the horses
would injure themselves by breaking
through the frozen crust on top of the
