THE DIVORCE EVIL IN AMERICA

same strict views on the subject. AS
the matter now stands. when one
church fails to perform the ceremony
the persons desiring such service
churches failing to give sanction to
the marriages of divorced persons,
tie justices of the peace in most
states are always accessible. and with
no state laws to prevent the mar
riages are still possibilities.
Abraham H. Hummel. writing in a
recent periodical. says the only solu-
ton to such widespread disregard OF
morality is government Intervention
in the shape Of national laws govern
inc marriages of all kinds that shall
ahrogate all state laws upon this sub
iect now in existence and by force OF
law require deeper regard for tn
sanctity of marriage.
The following is the expressed atT'-
tude of the leading churches On the
question of divorce:
Roman Catholic-The validly mar
ried may not remarry so long as either
of the parties is alive. Where there
are sufficient reasons the church per

One OF the most important ques-

convention OF the Protestant Eplsco-

does not oppose divorce. burt refuses
to give it's sanction to marriage

from cucumber beetles, so destructive
to the various cucurbits. This tent
ing device seemed sure means of Sc

such as caulifower, cabbages, radishes.
onions and others of moderate height
that usually suffer from insect depreda-
tons. Instead of the tent, gardeners
could use an easily made light frame
work three feet high and three feet
wide for single rows in a garden.
A Maine cabbage grower says he en-
tirely killed out root maggots in three
days by the use of salt. One man dug
around the roots of the cabbage, ex-
posing the maggots; second hand,
following after him, applied pinch
of salt (as fine coarse" salt as can be
procured to the maggots, and third
put back the earth.
Another application sometimes used
in the same way is half teacupful of
a strong decoction of pyrethrum pow
der, four ounces to the gallon of wa
ter. 1t is poured around the roots of
each plant after drawing the earth
away right down to the rootlets. The
earth is then pushed back again. Disks
OF tarred paper are considered one of
the best preventives.
Plant lice of various kinds have been
very abundant during a few seasons
past. The cabbage and the turnip have
their particular pest in this line, known
as Aphis brassicae John Fletcher, the
Canadian entomologist, recommends
that the insect be looked for when cab
bage plants in gardens are being culti-
waited, and as soon as the first colonies
appear, which will probably be late in
July or in August, they should be at
tended to at once before they increase
in number.
Whale oil soap, pound in six gal
Ions of water, or the ordinary one to
nine dilution of kerosene emulsion, if
sprayed thoroughly, will destroy the
aphis. In turnip fields, where by far
the greatest amount Of injury is done,
those engaged in thinning and hoeing
should be constantly on the watch for
infested plants, which may at that
time be hoed out and destroyed. This
will in many instances be sufficient to
prevent the occurrence later Of a seri-
Gus outbreak.
The eggs of this insect are laid on the
turnip tops late in autumn. This sug-

A Scotch minister tells of an old
fashioned brother Of the church who
insisted on preaching two long ser
mons every Sunday. This feature in
his character he exhibited in the winter
months to very trying extent. Dur
ing the rest of the year there were two
services, at IL and 2 o'clock, separated
by an interval of an hour or more, but
when the days were short, as many Of
his congregation came from cOnsidera-
BILE distances, it was desirable that
they should be able to reach their
homes before it was dark. But it was
not only desirable, but imperative, that
they should have two sermons. This
was accomplished by having only one
meeting, beginning at II o'clock, and
doing away with the interval. There
were then two sermons separated by
the singing of short psalm.

Root Obstruction to Drains.

AS far as known, the roots of grasses,
grains and annual field crops do not
ObStruct underdrain, but this is not the
case with some trees. Among them
are the willows, water elm, tamarack
and sometimes the soft maple, which
in a short time will fill the drain with
a mass of root hairs, even when they
are growing fifty feet distant from
the line of the drain. Some field drains
under ordinary conditions contain no
water during a considerable portion of
the growing season. Those drains
which are fed by springs or have a
continual flow through them are more
subject to obstruction from the roots
of trees than drains which are dry for
a part of the year.
Where there is reason to suspect that
there will be difficulty with tree roots
the joints of the tiles near the trees
should be securely cemented. 1t is safe
to say that all willows and water elms
growing within fifty feet of any tile
drain should be destroyed irrespective
of the flow of water in the drain.

Caesars Wounds Up to Date.


AT a meeting of the French Acade-
my OF Medicine a paper was read by
the famous Surgeon Dubois, who had
looked up the various accounts Of the
death OF Caesar given by Dion Cas-
sius, Plutarch, Suetonius, Appian and
others, and carefully compared them
with another.
He found that the first blow, struck
by one of the brothers, Casca, pro-
duced slight wound under the left
clavlcle; the second, struck by the
other Casca, penetrated the walls of
the thorax toward the right; Cassius
inflicted the third wound in the face.
Decimus Brutus gave the fourth stab
In the region of the groin Contrary
TO general belief, Marcus 1Brutus,
though one Of the conspirators, did
not strike the dictator.
After the first blows Caesar tainted
and then all the conspirators hacked
his body. He had thirty-five wounds,
only one of which was fatal, that of
the second Casca.

In the Medicinal Garden.

The worlds fair has strip of land
$50 feet by 40 feet wide devoted, to
medicinal and drug plants. The plants
are labeled to show the scientific and
the common names, the parts used in
medicines and their properties. The
grass family occupies the first position
in the field and includes in this exhibit
the most valuable member and one Of
the most worthless from the farmers
standpoint-namely, corn and couch
grass, the cornstarch and silk fur
nished by the former being used in
medicine, and the running rootstock Of
the latter, a source of much trouble to
the farmer, also possessing medicinal
properties.
Golden seal, a native plant for the
root of which a great demand exists
and which brings a good price, will
also be found here as well as another
plant which has caused furry in the
market on account of short supply
namely, the Cascara sagrada tree, the
bark Of which is employed incidentally.

A WONDERFUL FACTORY.
The SIeepIess and Busy Worlxmen Of
the Human Body.

The SIeepIess and Busy WorIxmen Of
the Human Body.
Andrew Wilson, the English scien-
fist, says the human body is a work
shop "The manufacturers are the
cells which form the essential parts
of every gland. Indeed cells appear be-
fore us as the veritable workmen Of
the whole body, ranging from nerve
cells, which rule us, to the cells that
build up and produce our bones. Now,
in the glands Of the body these work
men, each microscopic unit Of proto-
plasm or living matter, discharge the
function of making from the blood
whatever product gland may offer as
its contribution to life's processes. The
cells which compose our liver are bile
makers in addition to their performing
certain other curious works represent
ing the liver's duties. Other cells in the
glands of our eyes manufacture our
tears. Others again secrete the gastric
juice by which the food is acted upon
In the stomach. A fourth set of cells
produces pancreatic juice in the sweet
bread, and a fifth set supplies the sa-
Iva.
"Tears, saliva and bile and so forth
are all employed directly through their
being poured outward on the food or
into various organs. Even the oil that
lubricates our joints represents a Sc
erection which is perpetually being pro-
duced and insinuated between the sur
faces that move one upon the other.
When, however, we come to consider
internal secretions' a very different
state of matters falls to be noted.
Here we meet with substances that
are not poured outwardly, but inward
ly. The work of internal secretion is
performed by certain glands. The thy
roid gland in the neck is one of them.
This is a gland which grows very
large in goiter or 'Derbyshire neck,' an
ailment of hard water districts. If the
secretion of this gland is not duly add
ed to the blood disease of a very dis
tinct type appears, and it is cured
when the physician administers to the
patient the thyroid gland substance of
the sheep.
even the sweetbread itself, though
it does make a definite fluid of use in
digestion, seems also to supply some
thing necessary to the blood, for we
find that diabetes is always Of more
serious type where the sweetbread is
involved. Such discoveries bring us to
the very limit of present day research
into living functions. Their most graft
flying feature in addition to their
throwing light on life's workings is
that which places in the hands of the
physician knowledge both Of the cause
of disease and of its cure"
