marriage vows The Supreme Court of vienna has just made itself the cham nfon of morals after divorce although now 1t is hard enough for people to re- main moral even before.
 The case in question was very in- teresting. A commercial traveller had been divorced from his wife fifteen years ago and he had bound himself to pay fifteen crowns a month towards the education of daughter. Last year however. he stopped paying. and when his wife threatened to prosecute him he replied by making complaint against her. He said that his divorced wife was the mistress of a rich mern- Der of the Parliament. and that she therefore had been fhithiess to him. For this reason he would no longer pay alimony and asked the court to relieve him from all obligation.
 This. both the lower and supreme court refused to do. The supreme court decreed that of course divorced couples must remain faithful but that the unfaithfuiness of the wife In this case had not been proven.
 This establishes the fact that df- vofced wife must remain faithful to her husband even after fifteen years, and if she violates this rule she may be punished for breach of marriage VOWS although there has been no mar riage for more than a decade.
 The courts on the whole believe fin the good old-fashioned marriages for this was recently proved by a man be- ing sentenced to thirty days' impris- onrnent for elopinR with his own wife.
 This affair aroused not little sen- sation The wife in question was the daughter of a saloon keeper, while the husband was a we'll -to-do dealer in leather. They loved one another dear iy. but the parents demanded that they must walt some time because the girl was only 17. The couple. however. did not want to walt, and one day they disappeared. They were traced to vi- enna and the man was arrested. Was this really an elopement? It was proved that the man entered q carriage

London. March liking Edward has been scared from London by the in- uuenza. That is the explanation of his Majesty's sudden trip to Brighton. a place he has never before visited nB a health resort, although. of course. his ancestor George ". who discovered Brighton. had "pavillion'' there and spent good deal of his time at -kon- don by-the-Sea-.
 The grippe epidemic which is raging in London thoroughly frightened the Ning. who has an abnormal dread Of this malady. Three members of the cabinet-~Sir Henry Campbell- Baner- man. Lord Ripon. and Augustine Bir- real~~have been stricken with it. and the newspapers are full of bulletins on the condition of famous grippe vic- 4ims.
 Although no hypochondriac. King Edward has always insisted on the rule of etiquette which forbids anyone n hts entourage to complain of ili- nees or even admit being unweli. except In extreme cases. This rule was in- stffuted by George III. and has been enforced by King Edward during the grippe epidemic. when a large propor- tion of the court personnel were down with what London calls the fiue.'
 To avoid the strain of long standing, Kina Edward uses an ingenious device hf hie lsvees. when he is obliged to receive hundreds of diplomats. officers, and others as they file before the throne. Just in front of the throne is q socket in the floor. and Into this fitted sort of shooting seat" on which the King supports himself It is so adjuhted that 1t is difficult to judge whAther the King is really supported by his legs or by this novel arrange ment which was devised by one of the court officials.

NEnltary in Aua.ralIa.

The Australian Government has prac- ticaily committed itself to compulsory military service as the only safeguard against the dreaded Japanese invasion.
 The immediate proposal is to form a National Guard of Defense in which every young Australian will be re- quired to serve during his 18th, goth and 31st year, spending sixteen days a year in camp. Ultimately, counting only men under 10. Australia will have s00.0o0 men who are either in or would have passed through the ranks.
 No concealment is made that this scheme Is directed against Japan. The Australian Press, commenting on Prime Minister Deakin's speech, declares that all Japanese were taught that it was their destiny to acquire Australia.
 At present the Anglo-Japanese treaty intervenes between Japan and her am- bition. But when the treaty lapses Australia will either have to defend herself or Go under.

 There Is rumor current in the city that the Emperor and Empress arc to receive as their guests on Corfu the Cxarina and her children. The Czar- ina, it is said. has at last consented to leave her husband for short time. but 1t is, of course, absolutely impossi- bie to get any ofieiai confirmation Of this.
 The very fact that the Kaiser has been able to tear himself loose shows that the situation in the Balkin penin- suia which looked so threateningly only a few weeks ago no longer con- tains any element of danger.
 A Court Rules on Divorce.
 The Holy ohost"shas some time ago made a new discovery hitherto un- known. It ia this. that divorced cou- pies must remain faithful to one an- other after their divorce. Hardly a year has passed that we have not seen sults brought by divorced wives against fh cir husbands or, vice versa.

Leeturea Fer Women.

Discussing serious social problems has become fashionable in the draw ingroorns of Mayfair. Instead of going among the sluns of the East End, as was the craze some years ago. society women are now being the problems of the poor to the West End, in the form of lectures and discussions
 Mfs. Carl Meyer, society leader, and wife of a wealthy financier, Is the pioneer of the new fad. She has arr ranged course of lectures 10 be given at her house near Piccadilly by ladies who are authorities on various social questions.
 The syllabus of the course includes lectures on such subjects ass"the Hous- ins Problem" Problems of the Horne. !" women Workers and their Children. !" and Sweating and Trade Unions'
 These lectures" says Mrs Meyer. ''have been arranged in view of the great interest attaching to the various social problems of our time. They are specially designed to appeal to women of the ieisured classes, who. although they come in contact with those evils in every day life. have had no op-

selentintn startl4d.

Frederick Hovenden. Vice. President of the London institution. and q mem- Der of many learned societies. is pre- pairing four lectures entitled "A Study of the Principles of Nature" in which he divulges some startling scientific discoveries, the truth of which he is pres ared to prove by experiment.
 Mr Hovenden declares that electri- city heat and ether are one and the same fluid. and if illuminated, can be made visible to the naked eye. His second startling statement Is that he can take cinematograph pictures of the invisible. His third Is that every hu- man being exh ales ether or electricity at the fnger-tips, and that cinemato- graph pictures may be taken of this process.
 This last assertion is proved by filling a square glass box with cigarette smoke, mixed with ordinary air. The experimenter thrusts Q finger tn rough a hole in the bottom of this glass box, and turns on a powerful arc lamp. The ether or electricity may immediately be seen issuing from the finger tips. and photographs or cinematograph pictures may be taken. The electricity issues from minutes holes on the top of the same finger ridges which are used for making impressions in the police sys- tenn of identification.
 That the fluid seen issuing from the finger tips is electricity is proved be. yond dispute by the galvanometer.

News comes from st. Petersburg that Prime Minitser Stolypin is about to be relieved from his duties by the Czar. and that he Is to be followed by a mem ber of the Imperial Council. Trepoff, brother of the late Trepoff. commander of the imperial palace.
 There has always been q very strong opposition against Gtofypin among the aristocracy and reactionaries who ac. cuse him of being too liberal In his ideas, and 1t is quite likely that Czar Nicholas has at last listened to these people who believe that only Autocracy in It's old-fashloned form can save Russia.
 Nothing definitely Is said as to who is to be the successor of M. stolypin, but Akoniff. and Durnowo are mem tioned. In diplomatic circles in this city it Is said. however. that Durnowo will not accept the portfolio under any circumstances.

Women Recruiters.
 The newest profession for women is that of recruiter for the British Army.
 A hundred years ago the beautiful Duchess of Hamilton raised a Highland regiment by offering a kiss by way of bounty to each recruit. but the modern lady recruiters methods are not quite so picturesque.
 Mrs. Paterson Is the name of the lady recruiting sergeant and she is a friend of Colonel Walsh. chief of the recruiting depot in London. She has been successful In persuading many promising young men to take the Kings shilling. and received the regu- lation reward paid for each successful recruit brought in by an unofficial agent. As compliment Colonel Walsh also sent her the rosette of tri-color ribbons. which is the badge of the recruiting sergeant.
 Prince is Indispensable.
 Prince Arthur of Connausht is be- coming more and more indispensable to King Edward as a sort of emissary on all occasions. but the young Prince himself who Is extremely affable and popular is beginning to be rather bored with the honors thrust upon him.
 1t IS an open secret tnaL HG WOuiu two years ago have married the daugh- ter of a present Duchess i: he had been allowed to do so. but unhappily the Duchess Is not particularly liked by the royal family and the engagement was tabooed.
 The young Prince. who is good look : ing and has charming manners. walks with slight limp due to an accident in his youth, but he manages to dance and ride as well as any other young man about town and many well-born girls in London do their best to spoil him.
 Prince Arthur. who took the order of the Garter to the Afikado of Japan and who also has carried out several other diplomatic missions very credit ably. has now. been instructed to repre- sent the King at the marriage of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria and Princess Eleanor of Reuss which takes place next month at the Prince of Reuss's seat in Austria.
