Divorce Among the Burmese.


The marriage customs Of the Burmese
are simple in the extreme. A man and
woman are married or are not mar
ried, according to whether they live as
husband and wife or not. A man may
have several wives, though in practice
he rarely has more than one.
A woman may have only one hus-
band. Divorce is matter for the VII
lage elders. No court Is necessary, no
decree, no appeal to legal or ecclesias-
teal authority. Divorce is but the
breaking Of q status. A wife retains
control Of all her property when mar
Red; she has a half share in all proper
ty acquired during marriage. II she
IL divorced she takes her own property
and half that Jointly acquired There
is no blending Of her authority win
that Of her husband. She may 90
what she will with her own.
There Is no rule Of primogeniture and
no power Of beQueathing property by
testament. All the children inherit
equally. No Buddhist may make
will. Whatever a man or a woman
dies possessed of must be divided &C.
cording to the rules Of consanguinity.
There is no preference of either sex.
All children are equal in this matter
The oldest son shares alike with the
youngest daughter.-Lahore Tribune.

pealed to the La Scala association,
who brought the matter before
Maestro Leoncavallo. The composer
recognized her talent, qualifications
and beauty, and forthwith assisted
Nine. Rizzini to the fulfillment of her
ambitions. Since her development as
singer she has risen from the chorus
to the post of alternate prima donna

of Leoncavallo, Puccini and Mascagni
receive their premieres.

AN ECCENTRIC CANDIDATE.

A new idea or an old one which
looks new has been injected into the
politics of New Jersey. 1t is the spec
tacle of a rich man running for the
United States senate and spending no
money. Mr.. E. S. Stevens is the man.
He was graduated from Princeton COL
lege in 1879, studied law a while, then
dropped it and spent two years in the
machine shops of the Hoboken Ferry
company. Then he studied engineering
and designed a ferryboat with a screw
propeller, which proved a success. He
is now rich as the result of his own
inventions and investments He is
known among naval architects as one
of the foremost and is vice president
of the Society of Naval Architects, OF
which Admiral Bowles, formerly chief
constructor of the United States navy,
is president.
He is a sort of a clean-cut man
whose candidacy ought to appeal to
people against that of Dryden, backed
by the insurance trust and the Pub
lie Service corporation. Il will not
put up money to buy the United States
senatorship." says Mr.. Stevens. Il am
using my position as a candidate to
speak directly to the people upon the
use of money in politics. I want the
law to limit the so-called legitimate
expenditure to such a sum that any
man, be ne rich or poor, may have
| an equal opportunity to present his
cause to the people, I am also in.

Ventilation.

Have we ever stopped to think how
our ancestors two or three generations
back lived and flouriShed with little or
no ventilation in their sleeping apart
ments? The night air used to be con-
sidered a very dreadful menace to
health and a sure inducer of colds.
Bedrooms were kept closely shut, and
yet our ancestors, many Of them, were
harder than we and lived to good old
ages. Animals burrow in their holes
at night, breathing the same air over
and over again, while birds and fowls
tuck their heads under their wings. OF
course ventilation is absolutely neces-
sary for proper comfort, cleanliness
and health, but people have lived on
little or none Of it for hundreds and
thousands of years.

Evidently Mr.. Stevens, for his own
peace of mind. should not go to the
senate. How would a man like him be
received as colleague by Aldrich
Platt, Penrose, Clark and their like ?
They would have to put him in a cage
with La Toilette and not speakto him.
He would be lonesome in the senate,
for while at least. But his cam

ING IN THE WATER.
Malcolm. This had been the last straw,
and Tom was as miserable as 1t is
given man to be.
For awhile they were silent. Billy
lay dreaming in the bottom Of tho boat,
sending out great clouds Of smoke as
he stared up at the sky, and Peyton,
his leg still thrown over the tiller, was
engaged in devising torrents to which
Malcolm should be subjected If he had
his way.
Neither noticed that q breeze seemed
to be springing up from the west. They
were under the lee Of Catlin island,
with its steep bluffs, and spinning
along nicely Wescott island was only
half a mile beyond the larger island,
and already it seemed to Tom that he
could make out Nancy and Malcolm

glasses when the boat slipped out from

him on to the bottom Of the upturned
boat.

floundered in the water for a moment,
then padded toward the boat. Here's
the coffeev' he called. Its in an all
tight tin, and I'll bet it's all right"
Better toss up your pipe, too," sug-
gested Tom. who for the first time saw
that Billy's teeth were still clinched

A rowboat had put out from the
camp. In it Malcolm and one Of the
servants were pulling furiously, while

Malcolm bent his back to the task
and presently as they came out he be-
gan to shout messages of hope.
"Bet he thinks we're drowned and
don't know it," laughed Billy, who had
abandoned his quest for floating prop
erty to watch the little comedy.

the boat and helped Peyton in. Billy

 Signs of kidney trouble come either through the back or from the bladder; in backache, or some irregularity of the urine.

 Too frequent passages O. urine, thin, pale and foamy urine, or a thick, red. ill-smelllng urine, fnl! of sediment and scanty or painful of passage, tell you of serious trouble in the kidneys.

 ship over New York.
 NEW YORK, July 20.-Dpessed~ as if for a garden party Mrs. Julian P. Thomas, the society ballooning lady, sailed away from the earth and the Bronx gas works in the Nirvana, her husbands big airship. Her companions were Dr. Thomas and Roy Knaben- shue, their aeronaut. A big crowd cheered the departure.
 They went up straight as homing anger for 5000 feet and then, urged on by northeasterly wind. started diag- onally across Manhattan, bound for sun baked New Jersey.
 Streams of moisture from the gas drlpped down into the car. rulning Mrs. Thomas big picture hat and her black silk auto coat. But she never minded that. She was waving adieus to those she left behind.
 The big, hollow checked bag of oiled silk rose like bird under the direction of the experienced balloonfst, Roy Kna- benshue. the .eionaut, as chauffeur or driver or steersman or whatever 1t is proper to call professional cloud pusher who goes along with amateurs.
 This was the second time Dr. and Mrs. Thomas have sailed cloudland in an airship together.
 After sailing over the East river and beading for Coney Island the Nirvana was whirled back over New York. Aft CT lowering for two hours over the city. making q complete circle. 1t was be- calmed for q time over the noNhern end of Wards island, which 1t had passed some time before.
 It finally landed fin New Jersey. close to the Hudson river and opposite the upper end of New York.
