Our Divorce Laws.

The courts are not sufficiently care
full in examining evidence; in ascer-
tanning whether another marriage Is
contemplated in using their good Of
fees to bring the parties into friendly
relations again; in making distinc-
ton between cases where the grant
ing of a decree would be an act Of
righteousness and those where it would
tend still further to bring the statute
into disrepute. The laws Of the Gf-
ferent States are culpable because Of
their lack Of system, coordination and
equlty-ridiculously narrow In some,
absurdly loose in others.
One root of the present evils certain
" may be found in the laws for mar
riage. There Is nc other business con-
tract so easily and carelessly entered
into. concludes an article on Divorce
In the Delineator. Boys and girls can
make contract to marry at an age
when they could not make one to buy
a piece of furniture. In many States
no license is necessary. In some Of
them girls of IL or IA do not need the
consent of parents. No publicity Is re-
quired, no previous announcement; IL
the laws of one State offer any hind
rance, the parties have but to go across
the border into another. The insane
may marry, feeble-minded, criminals,
paupers, consumptives-the whole aim
of the State is as many marriages as
possible, regardless of the conse-
quences.
The marvel IS not that so many. but
that so few end In the divorce court.

Mechanical massage will reduce the
chin and there is a little device that
comes for the correction of a double

others of his ilk and dispel it with a
hearty laugh.
There are various causes for the

picture of collie, fallen over a cliff
while herding the flock among the
craggy Highlands, and just reached by
the anxious shepherd, whose words,
called up to comrade peering over
the verge, supply the title.
The rustic pair had wandered on

large painting of King Lear. At this

KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF.

KEEP your troubles to yourself;
Put them on an upper shelf;
Far away as it may be,
Where no eye but Gods can see.
Other people have their share
OF affection, pain, and care;
Why should you, though sorely tried,
Burden them with yours beside?
Daily brooding DER your grief
In no way affords relief,
But intensifies the smart,
Turns the arrow in the heart
Think Of others who have known
Greater sorrows than your own,
Keeping all their wounds concealed,
Heroes on life's battlefield.
Give of treasures you possess,
Loving care and tenderness,
Cheerful smiles or sordid pelf,
But keep your troubles to yourself.
