Hennery Phonography.

A Stockport IN. W poultry farmer
has had great trouble of late because
his hens were not producing the proper
number of eggs. A nearby neighbor
has a. fine flock of hens which were
working overtime to produce eggs.
While hanging over the back fence
listening to the triumphant cackle of
his neighbor's hens, says local in
formant, an idea struck the luckless
owner of hens. He went into the house
and brought out his monograph, in
serted blank record and succeeded in
getting a fine imitation of the cackIing
of the laying hens. He then installed
the phonograph in his own hen house
and started it going. The first day the
hens were greatly amazed, but the Sec
ond day they got down to business
and ground out an egg every time the
phonograph cackled. The hens have
stopped cackling themselves, however,
and when the phonograph stops lney
stop laying and the originator of the
idea has to sit in his coop all day long
to keep the phonograph going

NOTABLE DIVORCE RULING
VALIDITY DEPENDS ON BOTH
PARTIES BEING RESIDENTS.
Legitimacy of 90, 900 Children Is AT
fected by Decision of United
States Supreme Court.

Washington, April 1S.-It is doubt
full if more momentous decision in
the interest of American society has
been delivered by the supreme court
in recent years than when Monday, by
bench divided five to four, it held
that divorces obtained in states which
do not have jurisdiction over both
parties to marriage are not enforce
able outside the state granting them.
The decision is based on the clause of
the constitution providing that each
state shall give full faith and credit to
the DEGREES of another state.
The effect of the decision therefore is
that divorces like those obtained in
South Dakota by the acquisition of a
temporary residence for that purpose
are valid in the state in which the
couple resided only so long as their
legality is not attacked.
1t follows, therefore, that divorce
in order to be beyond attack, must be
obtained in the state of which both
parties are residents.
The effect of the decision will be to
end the promiscuous granting of de-
crees and undoubtedly is long step
towards minimizing an evil which it
had been believed could only be cor
rected by uniform divorce law enact
ed by the federal congress.
The general belief is that divorces
will become less frequent as, when the
purport of the decision becomes known
generally, the movement in favor of
national divorce laws will gain such
force as to compel the passage of the
constitutional amendment needed to
effect such legislation
1t is estimated that at least 10000
children are affected by the opinion.
These are the offspring of marriages
based on divorces granted where but
one of the parties resided in the state
issuing the decree of separation.

Education q Gift.

In the common schools of the United
States are now enrolled more than
100000 children, or about one-fifth OF
the population, under nearly half mil
lion teachers. As this education is
given to the children free 1t is at the
bottom, says the New York Sun, and
very truly, of the nature of charity.
The state takes them under its guar
dianship so far as concerns their ele-
mentary instruction and bestows on
them its bounty. The state exercises a
function in behalf of it's citizens in this
matter of education of very much the
same kind as it employs in their sani-
tary regulation, now carried to so great
an extreme of expense and of detail.
Like school instruction, this sanitary
regulation is measure of self-protec-
ton for the state, since unsanitary con-
d1tlons in a particular district affect in
Juriously the whole community in
which the region is situated Hospit-
ais, also, are maintained for like rea-
son, or not merely for the particular
benefit of the sick in them but that the
general public health may be protect
ed. From the cradle to the grave the
poorest citizen is looked after by the
municipal authorities. The whole ma
chinery of society is organized for his
benefit. The defective and the delin-
quent and even the vicious are looked
after without regard to any share they
may have in paying the cost or in in
creasing it. The spirit of charity ex-
tends its wings over the whole COM
munity. So also the college and uni
versity may be called benevolent in
stitution, wholly or in great part The
latest statistics of the United States
bureau of education enumerates 443 of
these, in which the students number
139,157 young men and 41,977 young
women. who contribute in tuition fees
less than one-half of the total income,
to say nothing of the interest on the
cost of plant, appliances, etc. More
than half of the education of these
students is purely gratuitous. To that
extent they are the recipients of char
ity. Besides about $9O,O00,O00 of pro-
ductive funds, these institutions have
invested in grounds and buildings, in
libraries and apparatus, nearly as
much more. Except for this endow-
ment in productive funds, a gratuity
to the students, most of the institu-
tions would have to go out of business.
Munificent gifts to these endowment
funds have distinguished this country
for many years past, yet there is not
now single university or college
which is not in need of more. Appli-
cations for still further benefactions
are urgently made by the oldest and
most famous universities in the
union. These facts cast no reflection
on the pupils and students, but prove
simply that the educational advantages
these enjoy are largely of the nature
of a free gift by society or by indi-
viduals OF wealth.

"Misrepresented Men" might be the
title of volume of sad biographies.
Whenever a university professor says
something which may be reasonable
enough in the way he puts it and in
its relation to his whole discourse, but
which is capable of sensational distor-
ton, it is next to impossible, says
Youths Companion, to put him right
with the public. DR.. Ira Remsen, pres
ident of Johns Hopkins university, said
at meeting of graduates that he did
not dare tell what DR.. Osler really said
that has given rise to the absurd
"Osler theory" if he did he might be-
come notorious and have to travel in
cognito, like DR.. Osler himself, who
has several times taken refuge in an
assumed name in order to journey in

This was appreciated by the citi-
