FROM harper = weekly.
Nothing else than a fairly liberal d.
vorce code could hope at present to win
adoption by very many OF the states, but
it would help matters somewhat IL the
states that go in for easy divorce should
put their bars up and make it harder for
outsiders coming into them for divorce
purposes TO acquire a residence. Whether
even that much can be accomplished is
doubtful, so hard is it to convince any
considerable number of our easy-going
people that 1t is their duty to constrain
partners to stay married after they are
tired of their bargain. Married women are
well protected by our laws as 1t Is. II is
very hard for a man to get loose from a
lawful wife who has not ~m:sbelaved, an"
less she Is willing. The rights OF the chill
dren of a marriage that has collapsed de-
serve to be guarded with the utmost care,
and perhaps the courts should distinguish,
as observers always do, between childless
couples who seek divorce and couples who
have children.
]Inconstant men who hire their wives to
get divorces IN order that they may them
selves be free 10 marry some one else
should be denied this enlargement Of their
privileges. A relation that is only mere
tricious is much less mischievous to SO
ciety than the successive marriages of
such persons. II they must have variety
in domestic companionshtp, 1T is as well
for them, and much better for their rela-
tives and friends, that they should find
it outside of marriage. The chief differ
ence between adultery that has been legal
ICED by trumped-up divorce and remar
riage, and adultery that hasn't, is that in
the latter case the sinners suffer the ir-
conveniences Of their sin, and in the form
er case they shift a large share of them
on society.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or p~rostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike TO themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them TO be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages his prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason OF the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed TO the uus
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half
cured"

The Ellaht Throuuh the Sewer.

From "Reminiscences of a Long Life" by
Carl Schurz IN the March McCsure's.
While we were thus engaged in ak
ing counsel, we heard above us a, DUH,
rumbling noise as from the wheels OF
vehicles and the heavy tread of great
masses OF men, from which we con-
cluded that the Prussians were now
entering the fortress and occupying the
gates and ramparts. We also heard
the striking OF a church clock which
gave he hour, our bench being near
one OF the manholes so that the sound
of the upper world reached US without
much dirhculty. About 9 O'Clock i'm the
Nenlng II began TO rain, so heavily
that we could clearly hear the SPLASH
ing of the water as il poured down.
AT first IL seemed TO us that the rain
storm would be favorable TO our plan
OF escape. Buf before long the matter
appeared in a different light. We felt
that the water was rising in our sewer
n soon ii began to shoot through it
with great vehemence like a mountain
stream. After "A while IL flooded the
bench upon which we were sitting and
reached up TO u chests. We also
perceived living creatures which sud
denly, With great activity, rushed and
crawled around us. They were, un-
doubleday, rats. We have to get out,
l said TO my companions, "or we shall
be drowned" We left our bench and
pushed forward. / had hardly ad-
vanced a few steps when in the dark
ness j ran my head against a hard
object. i touched 1t with my hands
II discovered that the obstacle was
an iron railing. At once the thought
came TO me that this railing had been
put there for the purpose OF cutting of

tween the interior OF the town and the

thought, which / communicated al
once to my companions, brought us al
most to despair. But when / grasped
the railing with both hands, as a pris-
oner may sometimes shake the iron
rods OF his dungeon window, / noticed
that II could be moved a little, and a
further examination proved that II die
not reach quite down TO the bottom
but left a free space OF about two
feet. Probably the railing was 80 ar
ranged that IL could be pulled up OF
let down, so hat the sewer might be
opened for purposes of cleansing and
then shut again.

Highways and Highways.
FTom the 80. Paul Dlspatch


Years ago in the early days, before
the railroad. states chartered corpora
tions to construct and maintain high
ways-we called them toll roads,
pixies" In some parts, then-and en-
powered them TO charge toll ON all who
used them, the state fixing the toll they
might demand Some were made OF
planks, and were the plank roads Of
the west; others OF stone and were the
macadamized roads OF the east and
south. Thes corporations did what the
state or it's subdivisions were unwilling
or financially unable to do at the time.
They served their day n purpose.
Then came q day when men asked why
their roads should be made private
property and they be made 20 pay for
their use. Why should not the state or
the county make these better roads and
maintain them? And gradually, as this
sentiment spread, the plank roads and
the toll roads and the pikes-the last
the last of all-became common roads,
free to all, kept up by all, and one stage
of private ownership Of highways
passed out. leaving only a foundation
on which is being built our later move
ment for good roads,

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
rDr. Williams Pink Pills "A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, Aiiing
and BIc0dtcss.

When'thei body7is weak and the blood
fthin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something I'M
lhealthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impoverishment of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems TO be nothing
that will account'for it.
Mr.. @. e. ILegg, of Upton, w. Va,
has found a successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloedlessness. He
says:
81 used DR.. Williams';P Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1895.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and a bad state of my blood. Twas
anamic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that i didn't have
blood enough, or thatI' didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order.

from my stomach. There was a good

How long did these troubles last?"
For over two years. For four
months of that time i was under the
care of a physician, but;his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile I learned of
the cures that had been wrought by DIR.
Williams Pink Pills"
"You owe your cure to these pills p
81 certainly do, and also know that
they are helping others'to whom ] have
recommended them. They have real
merit and / know of nothing that would
take their place"

FROM the New 1Ofk Times.
Miss Florence Stevens Of East Orange,
who for two months has been with Ade-
lima Patti at Craig-y-Nos, in%structing
her in the De Reszke method, has writ
ten to her friends at home a letter tell
ing how she came to get her engage-
ment. Miss Stevens was the soprano
I'm Trinity Episcopal church choir, New
ark, until she went abroad three years
ago for vocal studies. She enrolled as
a pupil of De Reszke in Paris, and soon
attracted his attention by responsive
ness to his training.
The charges eventually became too
heavy a burden upon her resources and
she told the tenor hat she feared she
would have to stop. He continued her
lessons and made her an instructor i'm
his preparatory department.
Nine. Patti called at the studio 10
seek instruction In the method that
enabled De ResZke at IS 10 sing with
the charm of earlier days. He could not
take from classes of students who had
long been attending his studio the time
thai SO distinguished a pupil would res
uuire, bat he commended Miss Stevens
as one who knew his method thorougk-
ly. and Nine. Patti ook Miss Steveas
to her Welsh castle.
Miss Stevens writes that at Craig.y-
Nos she is leading an ideal life. Nine.
Patti has provided for her a maid, and
in every way is making her stay En-
ioyable. When the mesdame has learn
ed as much of the Des Reszke metho1
as she wishes, Miss Stevens will re
turn to the studio In Paris and resume
her work there.
