The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle-
Why not l with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth.
And the moonbeams kiss the sea-
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

ABOUT DIVORCES.

According 20 me puhHshod stotlsiics'
there are IN the United states A9OS de
yorc,u n,., au.. 4.t,,5o duot,s. oo'n'n
The average number Of children Of
divorced parents Is about one Tor
each divorced person, which added to
the number of divorced men and women
makes total opproNmatng iOQ'O1O
directly concerned in the condition OF
divorce. That Is a large number even ia
a country with O population Of oO0OO'OOO
souls. OF the large cities OF the United
states. Chicago as expected leads Va
the resident number OF divorces In
the various occupations IN chicago
there are l76S divorced men and Li93
divorced women, New York holds Sec
ond place with 1tto divorced men ana
1926 divorced women IN the occupations
Of that city. Philadelphia has OBJ males
and b23 females who have legally Sow
cred the hymeued bonds.
The editor Of Physical Culture, Mr.
Bernan McFadden believes that there
is "a physiological cause" for every d.
vorce. He maintains that las long az
human beings enter into a marital con-
tract In absolute ignorance OF the plain
physiological laws that should govern
such relationship, there will be divorces,
and for every divorce there VIII be
thousands who suffer In silence, there
win be marital uuhappiness which sears
the human soul almost beyond healing,
that blots out ambition and enthusiasm,
ana destroys every human hope"
We would think there are moral
causes as well as physiological, that
should be considered Ignorance OF, or
Indifference to, the laws Of morality viii
be found to be a cause Of unhappy mar
riages. oftenor than ignorance OF the
laws Of nature,
But whatever the cause Is, the ooun-
try Is confronted by peril TO the home
and the state OF vastly greater proper
lions than any that ever was thought
to threaten American institutions from
the valleys OF these mountains.

ToLsToI ON REFORMS.

Tolstol. who opposed the Hague con-
rress ON the ground that It proposed
something lmpracticable, now opposes
the reform plans formulated by the
zemstyo representatives, and on the
same ground. Tolstoi is a philosopher
and one who dreams Of reforms In the
future. His idea Is that betterment OF
conditions can only come through the
splriual regeneration and religious up
hitting Of The people-"oll the people"
and that constitutional government
ls no cure for the evils which atillct
Russia or the other governments Of
Europe,
The principle is correct. Christ him
self aimed at reform through the re
generation" OF the Individual rather
than the reconstruction Of the system
Of government But at the same time
Tolstol should not forget that reforms
In the right spirit may aid tho work
Of individual regeneration. II FOR In
stance Russia obtains freedom OF
speech and OF the press and religious
liberty. the work Of the preacher OF
