RUSSIA MoDIFIEs DIVORCE.
Husband or Wife Allowed to Marry
Again After Two Years, Instead
of Seven.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24.-The
rigor of the divorce laws, which for
merly did not allow a husband or wife
guilty Of misconduct to marry again
except after seven years irreproach-
able conduct, has been modified by the
Holy Synod, making the period two
years in case of offenders agreeing to
do public penance according to the di-
rection of their bishops.
The newspapers hail this modifca-
ton as being a step in the right direc,
ton, and express the hope that the
D~raconian laws governing divorce,
which date back to the Byzantine
epoch, will be further amended in con
formity Observation-Disclosures OF mod
