One Of the appalling disclosures

following:
"Water is q great matter in Pack

and operates the water supply, Large
users OF water are supplied through
meters and pay according to the
amount they consume. For a long

the packing houses had aroused annual

uncovered the public mains about

discovered that every considerable
packing house had secret connections
with the water supply. There were
pipes of various sizes, three inch al
four inch, six inch and eight inch,
each leading from the clty's conduit9 to
the works Of some packing company
In some places tunnels had been
driven under the streets to the mains,
and taps inserted. In one case the
mains themselves had been diverted
from the highway through the works,
and on these city owned pipes one firm
had planted three great pumps, busily
engaged drawing water. And for all

BEAUTIFUL NATIVE TREES.
American Elm Should Be Planted
When Soil Is Moist and Suitable
Other Good Examples.

Probably the American elm
would be voted our most graceful
and beautiful tree, asserts the
Chautauquan. 1t is certainly
worthy of the attention which il
has received. 1t should be plant.
ed where the soil is suited toll and
where there is an abundant
moisture, and should be given a
large space to develop its spread
ing top. Our other elms and the
species which have come to us
from Europe are not so graceful
in shape, but they have qualities
which make them worthy of place
in any cemetery large enough to
contain all available trees.
The naples are good trees, es.
peciaAy the sugar maple and the
Norway maple. The latter is, per
haps, the most available orna.
mental tree that has come to us
from Europe. 1t sends it's leaves
and blossoms out very early in the
season and retains its foliage un.
til November. 1t seems to delight
in sandy soil.

a tree of very rapid growth, but

of the countries Of the world,
though the average is far below
that reached in the United States
The number is particularly large
in Victoria and New South W ales'
where the facilities for procuring
divorces are greater than they are
in the other states. Since the pass
ing of the Shells act Of 1890, which
made desertion for three years a
ground for divorce in Victoria
divorces have averaged over 100
per annum, the greatest number
being 131 in 1902, and the lowest,
So in 1895. The total for the peri
cd 1S91-19O3 was 1850, and the av.
erage per 10000 marriages for the
period 1S961902 was 1854.
In countries where divorce laws
are in force this record is only sur.
passed by those of Germany, 1865;
France. 1870; ROumania. 2O4;
Switzerland, 432, and the United
States, 612 divorces for every TO-.

In New South Wales the figures
are much higher than they are in
Victoria. An act similar to the
Victorian measure came into
force in New South Wales in 1892,
and the number of divorce DEGREES

almost alarming increase. In the

the number of divorces granted in
New South Wales was no fewer
than 1.0S7, against 212 for the

This total gives an average OF

double the average in Victoria
during the same years, and is ex-
coded only by those for Switzer-
land and the United States. In
