WHEN DIVORCE SHOULD Be GRANTED.
BY Prot. William Dc WIT Hyde.

The majority of people to-day are as selfish
and hard of heart as those to whom the law Of
Moses permitted divorce. They marry for one or
other of the selfish motives-sensual appetite
sentimentality, vanity love of power, desire for
pleasure. They are speedily disappointed. The
men grow hard, brutal, cruel; the women grow
querulous, bitter, censorious. Drink and poverty,
gambling and extravaganza, often aggravate the
conditions, and both parties look to divorce as the

CLERKS MUST PROVE THEIR VALUE.
BY Jonas howard.

1t may be said fully that the general atmos-
phere of the large office employing 400 or 500
clerks is bad for the ambitious young man. There
Is narrowness to office work that leaves its
effects on the men who follow It, There is the
unvarying routine, the minute petty details, the
! stunted horizon the dreariness of indoor work,

IL the ship is on a home station all the

have families spend the day ashore.
At night, however, they return, bring
ing their ''sweethearts and wives" with
them. The naval regulations. Ordi-

the interests of Yuletide cheer and no
guest has eve hesitated TO pronounce
the wardrOOm's Christmas banquet an
unqualified success. Still. 1t sometimes
happens that the enlisted men have
u better dinner than their superiOrs,
for the able seaman Is an early bird,
and where supplies are limited he may
corner the market before his officers
know what has happened. The crew
of q man-Of-war on the Asiatic sta
