CoLLUsIVE DIVORCES AND REMARRIAGEs.
By Judge A. T. CIearWsf.

The proportion of divorces to marriages and
remarriages in defiance of law Is astounding
and is Indicative not only of contempt for law,
but of a decadence and degradation, lower
ing of standards and ideals which is depress-
ing. The most disheartening feature of these
collusive divorces and illegal remarriages Is
that by far the larger number OF them are
among people who by virtue Of their standing

ing grain for number of years Civ
ing about one-half enough work and
obtaining half the yield he should,
started in the COW business. He has
now quit the latter because it called
for much labor and close attention. In
this case it was not the business, but
the man, that was a failure.
1t has been demonstrated that n
mich COW will eat as much as seventy
five pounds of green food in a day
This appears large quantity, but such
cows are also producers of more milk
than cows that eat but little. 1t is no
advantage to have what is termed a
light feeder, as it is impossible for
COW to yield milk in large quantities
unless she consumes sufficient food
from which to produce the milk.
1t has been shown by statistics that
the average egg yield of the hens of
Canada is ninetyone eggs per year.
That of the United States is only sixty
nine eggs per year. This comparison
should set every owner of chickens to
thinking. In the first place, there is
no reason why the average egg yield in
either country should not reach $50
eggs per hen. Many fiocls, bred for a
greater egg production, now average
POO, or even go eggs, so $50 ought not
to be an extravagant estimate of the
possibilities of the American hen.

The Piano players Art.

To shine at the piano costs a price.
No less than eight OF the greatest"
pianists Of the present day are conspicu-
ously understood. 1t may be reflected
that the climb begun in childhood up the
steep slope of technic, being by the hand,
and consuming thousands of hours of the
severest toll left its effects upon the body
by retarding the growth OF the lower
limbs. The absorption of the mind in
this engrossing pursuit also may hinder
ones enjoyment of a full vitality Not
infrequently that part of the players
Importance to him remains through life
the most rudimentary and undervalued.
Children especially, who are entrusted to
the hands of accredited safe guiders of
talent, often suffer certain of their facul-
ties to be nipped in the bud even before
they can gain attention. We see that
delicate affair-the life-not properly
taken into account Obviously, no child s
mind dominated for hours by the sound
of the piano can develop healthy in
quisiuveness. The young virtuoso does
not see things as other children. He is
trained away from them, and little fore
sees the things lost to him by making II
his browning aim to excel In finger
technic For him mans estate is kind
OF foreign territory He is reprimanded
for wanting to do things like other people.
He feels that even strangers are inter-
ested in the restriction of his intelligence
and quite unconsciously attempt to set
up an authority over him.-[Milo Els
worth Benedict in the New England
Magazine.

LAUGH.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alonel
For the sad old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, 1t is lost on the air
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure Of all your pleas
ure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad and you lose them ALL
There are none to decline your nectar'd
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train.
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles Of pain
-CElla Wheeler Wilcox.

Why Tommy Was Absent.

Tommy Mulligan Of the seventh grade
was absent from the classroom for one
entire day, relates the Philadelphia In
quirer. It would appear that he had
played truant for unknown to Tommy,
his teacher had spied him trudging home
ward with pockets bulging suspiciously
afternoon.
But Tommy brought a note Of excuse
the next morning, which, OF course, would
prove that he had been detained at home
legitimately. The writing was hardly that
that OF feminine hand, and the note APP
peared to have been written laboriously
and with much plotting; furthermore, the
penmanship seemed to be strangely
familiar to his teacher The note read as
follows
Dear teacher: Please excus Tony for
not comeing to school yestiddy, he cudnot
come tore my pants.-Mrs. Mulligan."

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE {?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Rackache will not leave of its own accord. nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine, cure hack ache. dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
