The Divining Rod.

Englishmen who write letters to the
London Times just to free their minds
have engaged in a hot argument over
the divining rod. In order to adjudi-
cate the question the, Times has em-
ployed learned gentleman who has
studied the rod for fourteen years to
marshal his proofs for and against this
survival Of medieval superstition. The
rod is still believed in with implicit
faith in England, although its field of
operations has narrowed down in latter
years to simply locating water under
ground Formerly buried treasure,
mineral veins and even stolen goods
were sought for with the rod. Grim
inals were tracked by It, according to
its firmest disciples. In France the
masters of the rod gained so much in
fiuence in the time of Louis XIV. that
they were prohibited from using 1t in
affairs of the moral world.

OCCUPATION and Divorce.

An analysis of divorce statistics for
the decade ending 1900 made by the
Baltimore American gives most sug-
gestive result The American says:
There has always been a lower per-
centage Of divorces among men engaged
in agricultural pursuits than In any other
calling not excepting the clergy Sol
diers, sailors and marines, on the other
married infelicity. Next among the high
averages come the hostlers, the actors.
agricultural laborers bartenders, serv-
ants and walters, musicians and teachers
OF music, photographers. paperhangers.
BARRIERS. lumbermen, and SO on diminish
ing In ratio until the lowest average is
reached, as before stated, among the
farmers.
A glance at this showing Of the fuc-
tuations in marriage failures leads to
the inference that the husband who
settles down, 80 to speak, has the best
chance Of keeping out Of the divorce
courts. The comment sometimes made
upon the union of certain couples that
they fought never to have married"
seems cynical, but 1t Is well for candi-
dates to take note that marriage must
have favorable environment to go
along happily.
