DIVORCE LAW is RIGID.
Episcopalians Would Prohibit Remar.
riage Inside of One Year.


By an overwhelming majority COM
promise canon on the remarriage Of di-
vOrced persons was adopted by the house
o. deputies Of the Episcopal general con-
vention in Boston. and if it is concurred
in by the house of bishops the most i'm
portant issue that has come before the
convention will he disposed of for at
least three years. The compromise
measure, like the old law, permits the
divorce for inidelity, but provides that
no remarriage shall be allowed within
one year after decree has been issued
by a civil court.
Satisfactory proof OF the innocence of
the applicant for remarriage must be
furnished in the shape Of court records,
and after the consent Of the bishop is
obtained a clergyman may refuse to per-
form such a ceremony without subject
ing himself TO censure or discipline.
In the last days session of the Baptist
General Association at Springfield the
project of securing a universal divorce
law for the various States was indorsed.
The National Congregational Council
in Des Moines was adjourned Thursday
night. The committee appointed TO con-
slider the divorce question reported rec
appointed to study the question for
period of three years. The council re-
fused to draw the color line by adding
the word ''colored" after the names of
negro churches.

Fatal to Noxious Weeds.

Owners Of lawns and grass plots
have great trouble every year in keep
ing them free from the pestiferous
dandelion. A benevolent citizen who
has experienced lots of this troubls
writes to say that many people bring
more Of this trouble on themselves by
trying to exterminate dandelions by
cutting the plant of just below the
ground. A great deal Of this is done
early In the spring by people collecting
young dandelion plants for greens"
they being an excellent and wholesome
pot herb. This, it is said, does not kill
the plant. but causes each root to throw
out several shoots. and thus multipliss
the number Of dandelions.
The correspondent mentioned writes
to impress his fellow sufferers that if
when they cut off the dandelion plant
below the ground they will drop a
pinch of salt or a teaspoonfLl of coal
oil on the root left in the ground it
will effectually kill it. This may see.n
troublesome job. but to one who is
set on keeping his grass plot clear of
dandelIons it will in the end save a lot
Of trouble.

Especially During a Great War Do
Maps Become of Interest.
Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the
most notable English writers known to
the present generation, was wont to say
that nothing interested him more than
the perusal Of a good map; and without
doubt, map that is well made and
accurate catches the eye and arrests the
attention of many people as few other
things can do, especially during a great
war when the maps of the world are like
ly to be changed does the public become
interested in maps in general.
The men in charge of railway traffic
possess most positive appreciation Of
good maps and large expenditure OF
time and skillful thought is made on this
feature of railway publicity, so that such
portions Of the country as the mystic
and interesting region of the Black Hills

tier throughout the central and western
portion of Colorado, the rich valleys and
hillsides of California, covered with vine
yards. orchards and grain fields. Yellow

those regions of interlacing lakes and
water courses which mark that portion Of
the great northwest located in upper
Wisconsin. southern Minnesota and that
part of Michigan known as the Upper
Peninsula. have been mapped in detail
and given to the public gratis, far and
wide.
Said an official of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway recently, while
talking on this subject: There is no
doubt that the American railway map
engraver has carried his art well nigh
to the borders of perfection. | do not

data for the State of Wisconsin. for in

our passenger department. They are on
file in public libraries as part of their
reference records. Other portions Of the
western country have been similarly TAX
ell up by our people and maps of a most
complete character made for them: in

the value Of good map in the hands OF

Ju,. What They Ordered.

To do even the most humble work

her cook about a certain recipe. "Just
how much -four do you put in, Mary:"
Law, mum, you don't follow any rule;
you just use your jedgmentv' "But

tress. 'Then don't cook" was the re-
ply, succinct and to the point. The
New York Tribune tells of waiter
who, having neither judgment nor a
sense Of humor, was little better than
an automaton.
Two men in Park Row restaurant,

orders to the same waiter. Bring me

"Same thing for me, waiter" said
