A Hard Blow at the Divorce Evil.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States hit the divorce evil hard blow
on Monday, when it rendered a de-
cision declaring that divorce granted
in one State, while one Of the parties
to the suit ls a resident OF another
State, is illegal. 1t is the greatest
check that has yet been offered to this
growing evil.
The decision has etfectuslly mixed
up the domestic affairs of many thou
sands OF persons, illegitimitized thou
sands OF children, born as the result Of
second marriages by Divorces. and
has stirred up controversy, which is
likely to continue for many years.
All divorces granted in South Da-
kots. for instance, to persons who be.
came residents of that State for the
purpose Of securing dissolution Of
their marriage ties are null and void.
Marriages that have taken place
since by persoas thus divorced are
bigamous marriages and without
standing in law. Children born as
the result of these Unions, even where
the parents are without blame, are il.
legitimate.
These complications and hardships,
which must follow upon the decision,
are in themselves part Of the effective
cure that the court has prescribed for
the divorce evil. These very effects.
deplorable ard unfortunate as they
must be in many cases, reveal as no
other circumstances could have done
the glaring defects in the divorce sys.
TENS Of the different States, and fur.
nish potent argument for a national
divorce law.
Justice White handed down the
notable opinion in the case Of John
w. Haddock VS.. Harriet Haddock, q
divorce proceeding, instituted in the
courts Of New York city. The decis-
ion is in favor OF the woman.

OPPORTUNITY.

Hast thou been driven to the wall
Sound once again thy battle-call;
Thou knowest not what store Of strength
Determination yields at length.
For when all outer forces fail
Sheer inner courage may prevail.
Art thou from service set aside
Thy cherished hope and dream denied'
The greatest work Of all pay be
To show steadfast serenity:
Not all is lost while We may make
One comrade happier for our sake.
Doth age creep over thee apace?
Set smiling to the dark thy face;
Make thou the flame of thy SOULS light
Shine as beacon in the night
That those who follow thee may show
Like foItitude and fearless go.
The dying hero's courage still
The heart of all a world can thrill.
The martyrs smile above the pyre
Still kindles in us sacred fire.
No less thy darkest hour may be
Thy deathless opportunity

The Presidents Latest Address.

In his address at the laying of the
cornerstone OF the office building for
the House of Representatives, Presi-
dent Roosevelt held up to censure the
modern type of Bunyan's imam with
the muck-rake the man who, con-
tinually and only, sees and announc-
es the corruption of the times He
urged that the attack upon evil "is Of
use only if it is absolutely truthful.
S!andel "putsa premium upon knav-
ery," and excess and want of discrlm-
ination invite reaction. 'To assail
the great and admitted evils of our
political and industrial life with such
crude and sweeping generalizatlons
as to include decent men in the gen
eral condemnation means the soaring
of the public conscience. Expose
the crime and hunt down the criminal;
but remember that even in the case
of crime, if it is attacked in sensation.
a., lurid and untruthful fashion, the
attack may do more damage to the
public mind than the crime itself. 1t
is because feel that there should be
10 rest in the endless war against the
forces of evil that | ask that the war
be conducted with sanity as well as
with resolution" But it is vital that
the spirit OF sanity and self-com-
mand' be not permitted to "degener-
ate into mere mental stagnation." "
The sensational part Of the address
is that in which the President dealt
with the problems of wealth. We
should discriminate in the sharpest
way, he said, between well-won and
ill-won fortunes. No amount Of char
ity in spending compensates for mis-
conduct in making. But he went
farther. Il feel that we should ulti-
mately have to consider the adoption
of some such scheme as that Of pro-
gl essive tax on all fortunes beyond
certain amount, either given in life or
devised or bequeathed upon death to
any individual tax so framed as to
put 1t out of the power of the owner
of one of thes. enormous fortunes to
hand on more than a certain amount
to any one individual; the tax, Of
course, to be imposed by the national
and not the State government. Such
taxation should, of course, be aimed
merely at the inheritance or trans
mission in their entirety Of those for
tunes swollen beyond all healthy lin
its.
The President also reiterated his
views on national supervision of cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce for the purpose of reaching the
evils of over-capitalization, and re-
ferred to the proposed railway-rate
legislation as step in that direction.
His suggestions exhibit forcibly bis
faith in legislation by Congress as
remedy for the ills that American
flesh is heir to.

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl Of society. And in stores
mills and shops tens Of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
Observation-Disclosures, and the nature OF
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritsbility and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
OF the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she IL so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin OF which is due to
some arrangement Of the female or

Something About Earthquakes.

Earthquakes have been from the
earliest times among the most terrify-
ing OF natural phenomena. These
manifestations vary from slight trem-
ors of the earth that are so frequent
in Central America as to be scarcely
noticeable to the terrible shocks with
tidal waves that have in a moment de-
stroyed great cities like Lisbon and
ancient Guatemala. While Caracas
and Lisbon were shaken down almost
in the twinkling of an eye, the earth
quakes in Calabria that began in 1888
continued for a period of four years.
Scientists say that an earthquake
begins at some point of subterranean
shock called the centrum or focus and
travels in waves, with gradually di-
minishing energy, in every direction
from this point. These foci, they
state, are commonly at depths of eight
to ten miles below the surface Of the
earth and rarely are as deep as 25 or
80 miles.
The earthquake shock appears to be
transmitted through the rock in two
waves-one the compression wave, Vi
brating parallel to the direction of
transmission, the other the distortion
wave, vibrating normal to the direc-
tiop oil transmission. The waves are
of small amplitude. The ground
moves upward or downward or OBJ
liquely or horizontally usually through
very small fraction of an inch and
seldom through space Of more than
two or three inches.
The destruction OF the earthquake
is dependent mora on velocity than
on amplitude Of the wave movement.
With great velocity a movement OF
small traction of an inch will shatter
brick buildings. Professor Milne con-
cludes that the velocity OF shocks va
ries from a few hundreds Of feet Sec
ond to several thousands of feet in the
same time, though other investigators
estimate the velocity at the rate Of al.
most mile second.
Authorities differ as to the exact
cause of earthquakes, though their In
innate connection in many instances
with volcanic eruptions has been con-
clusively established. Lava in erup-
tion contains large quantity Of steam
and often this causes explosions, throw.
ing the lava and rocks high into the
air. In at least one instance this force
was sufficient to blow of the entire
top Of mountain, and what was once
the cone Of the Xrakatoa Mountain
is now covered b. $50 fathoms Of wa.
ter. Lava forcing its way through
the assures Of rocks is also a cause Of
explosions and shocks.
But there are many earthquakes on
record that apparently are not asso-
ciated with volcanic eruptious. These
are explained by geologists as caused
by the cooling off of the esrth's sur
face, a process that has been going on
for thousands OF years, and by the
settling Of the earth. This process
has been so gradual in its nature and
so enormous in extent that geologists
hold that the comparatively few earth.
quake shocks that have taken place
are but mere incidents in the general
coutractions of the earth's surface.
California and the lower Pacific
Coast have never been entirely free
from tremors, and slight shocks have
been reported from time to time
throughout that entire region. The
whole of the Lower California prov.
ince of Mexico is subject to such dis
