Divorce Statistics.

The census office is busy gathering
divorce statistics, and when they are
compiled m tabulateG, and printed,
some very interesting conclusions can
be figured out from them. We have
always admired the type of mind
which attempts to tabulate human
emotions, there is such a fine audacity
about an effort like that, such a splen-
did refusal to recognize the limita-
lions of mathematics. And we admire
that kind of statistics for their
sake; they are SO accommodating, SO
willing, so good-natured; they let you
work out of them any conclusion
which you are minded to put into
them; they exist for the convenience
of the man who has a case to prove,
and they are so liberal and catholic
that they would just as 500 help him
prove one case as another. There
are few other things on earth that
have so lovely a disposition as a scut-
tleful Of statistics, says Uncle Remus'
Magazine. These particular statistics
will probably enumerate the number
of cases of inidelity, the number of
cases of cruelty, and the instances
where desertion, drunkenness, and so
forth, led to divorce; and the optim-
lists will take them n be optimistic.
the pessimists will take them and be
pessimistic; the advocates of laxer dl-
vorce Laws will nroya their casa and
the advocates of sitter divorce laws
will prove theirs, and everybody will
be happy.

Commercial Opportunities Abroad.

Commercial Opportunities Abroad.
More suggestions to American man
ufacturers and dealers that If they
will get busy there is a chance to eI-
tend their trade abroad. They are to
be found. where many similar hints
have beer given, in the consular re-
ports. A sample is the statement by
Consul Dunlap of Cologne, Germany,
who has been to the farmers fsir at
Dusseldorf and evidently kept his eyes
open while there. Consul Dunlap took
particular note of the agricultural ma
chinery on exhibition and which was
put to test at the fair. He noted that
the only American machines on exhibit
ton were of minor importance, and
adds: IAN American-made harvester
here for about 5000. There was an
endless variety of plows, but no
American-made ones were noticed.
The plows look heavy, awkward and
poorly made. If American manufac-
turers want German trade, they will
have to make plows to conform to
German ideas of size, shape and style"
Here is much the same advice that
has come from other consuls, all
given with earnest desire to help
American interests. American farm
ing implements and machinery are
Justly famed for superiority in the
qualities needed for effective n eco
nomicaI work, and when properly
pushed they invariably find customers
abroad. At the same time, remarks
the Troy Times, due attention nus
be given to local tastes and prefer
ences, a matter which is too much
neglected by American manufacture
ers. Old-world manufacturers sue
coed in such markets very largely be-
cause they are careful to ascertain
what is wanted and then to cater to
the demand.

CIR Enrmy'a 5htflh
By DIR. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLS.

jamt it is out to climb the hills of difficulty and conquer for oneself wis
dom and goodness. To him that overcometh belongs the heros crown and
the Joy of hanging the shields of ones enemies upon the walso OF memory.
The foes of mans happiness stand round about him as wolves about
the Alaskan miner sleeping by the embers.
Now the fire is kndled upon his factory o house, and, sleeping in
peace, he wakens to ashes and poverty. Now the flood comes in from over
the sea, Oh the river ovcrAows his bank, or the rains and halls destroy his
grain. Then the tornado is loosened, and the cyclone leaves in its path
ruined orchards and meadows. Everything man has is overtaken by some
enemy. The rust falls upon his wheat, a insect attacks his cotton, the
blight ruins the grape or plum, the frost cuts down his corn. In the city
panic walks through the streets and cuts down property, Is a sickle Stays
the golden grain. Enemies go forth against his reputation, his riches take
wings, good name passes, friends grow forgetful. Strength dissolves, the
grasshopper itself becomes a burden; man walks forward under a couded
sky.
Getting means struggling. Strength comes through wrestling. The
wide look across the plains means the slow climbing to the mountain top,
whence the view is gained. Every good thing is a prize won after a fierce
conflict.
And heaven itself is a height o which man climbs on the golden
rounds of the good deeds of this life. Every one of tn. seven crowns and
forms of happiness and good fortune offered in Johns vision of paradise

An appeal is being made in England
for funds to undertake the great task
of e%xcavating the ruins OF Memphis.
the work to be done under the aus
pices of the British school of archae-
ology. 1t is strange that the eXplora-
ton of the ancient Egyptian capital
has beer deferred SO long. and it is
expected THAT England will now do
for Memphis what the French govern
ment has lone for Delphi and the Ger
mans for Olympia. The sites OF the
four great temples are plainly marked,
30 that exploration can begin at once.
This mass of ruins covers 100 acres. as
much as the whole site of Karnak, and
It is estimated that 5000 will be
needed annually for Is years to &C
complish the work. Important ma
terial is believed to lie within a few
yards of the surface. so that results
should be reached promptly.

dusuy-wel, he would never be a captain of industry.
Who to-day wants a man poor in spirit? Surely not the citizens ani
ane. They want men of resource and action. Men who are quick to
think, to act. Men who anticipate a blow by planting another first. Men
who can see distant action through all the fogs and vapors of smooth words
and fair promises. Men who can be fair to the limit of legality, and legal
to the last milestone of defeat.
Who to-day wants a man poor in spirit? Surely not the labor
unions. The ordinary man wearing "A union button will tell you that if the
unions were composed of such men, they would long since have tasted the
bttcret days of poverty and their ears would still be ringing with the
mocking gibes of those who sit in the seats of the mighty.
"Who to-day wants n man poor in spirit? Surely not employers.
Perhaps there may be a stray place among the lowest and most mental, but

blood, me who push and elbow their way through opposition. Men who
can see sure business, men who can get results
