Our Divorce Laws,

The courts are not sufficiently care
full In examining evidence; in aseer-
taIning whether another marriage is
contemplated; In using their good Of
ices to bring the parties into friendly
relations again; in making a distinc-
ton between cases where the grant
ing of a decree would be an net of
Righteousness and those where it would
tend still further to bring the statute
into disrepute. The laws of the d.f-
fercnt States are culpable because Of
their lack Of system, coordination and
equlty-ridlculously narrow In some,
absurdiy loose In others.
One root of the present evils certain

cess Of the effort has been small. She
says that 1t does not tend ito stimu-
late an American woman's national
pride to reflect that this may be the
last of civilized countries 10 grant
women a voice in their own govern
ment" And she adds: LET this fact
be remembered-it In the only one
where women have been left to fight
this battle alone, with no moral, finan-
cial or political support from the men,"
This rebuke comes after a review Of
the fight for woman suffrage through
out the world, from which we make
the following list of countries that
have granted the demand for 1t IN
whole or in part: In New Zealand
women have had the full franchise since
1893. All the Australian states except
Victoria have conferred the state fran
chise on women, and women have full
federal suffrage and the right to dt in
the federal parliament. In the sum-
mary on Australia we read: "At some
elections not only larger percentage
but actually a larger number of wom-
en- than of men have voted. Last year
In Tasmania women outnumbered the
men at every polling station. 1t Ia
also everywhere apparent that they
have aroused the men to a new sense
Of their political duty" In the Dan
ish colony of Iceland widows and spin
sters who are householders or who
maintain family or themselves have
a right to vote for parish and town
councils and district boards and visit
ors and are eligible for election to all
the offices for which they can vote. In

bands income, and even domestic SER
wants will have an income large enough
to entitle them 10 vote" It Is expect
ed that the concessions already made
will soon result in the abolition Of the
property qualification and the admis-
sion Of women to the polls on the same
terms with men. In Sweden widows
and single women and married women
who pay taxes on their own property
have the municipal franchise on the
same terms as men. Some form of
woman suffrage Is enjoyed In all the
provinces Of Canada, and In Great

Numerous inscriptions In Latin were
cut on the new building for the Depart
ment Of Agriculture In Washington.
The head of the department discovered
the other day that some of them are in
bad Latin, and ordered them all erased
and recut In plain English. There Is
no better reason for inscribing Ameri-
can public buildings with Latin than
there would have been for putting In
scrtptions In Greek or Sanskrit ON the
public buildings In ancient Rome. The
theory that there Is a peculiar virtue In

While cruising among the South Sea
Islands thirty odd years ago In our
private yacht, the Haute Flyer, we
we're much annoyed by a large Irish
setter shark that persisted in following
the ship. During the night the shark
would often climb up on deck and tip
over the garbage can. At one time
Henry Williams, a sailor before the
mast, was bitten on the leg by the
brute. He aimed kick at the shark,
who growled, showed his teeth and
sunk his fangs in williams limb be-
fore leaping over the rail into the sea.
One day the cook. annoyed at his
alarm clock-which persisted In going

shark, always on hand for dainty tit
bits from the galley, took the time Of
day at one gulp. For two days after
that we heard the clock going of In
a muffied way from the interior of the
surprised shark, who was often seen
with one fin on his head and the other
on the pit Of his stomach. evidently
trying to diagnose his clock case.
We were standing on the stern of
the ship one evening watching the
shark. who was evidently feeling pref
ty sick. Suddenly the clock went OF
on him, and the sailors, counting the
strokes, noticed that 1t struck twenty
three. When the shark heard this he
turned up and died before our eyes
