 There are two classe of people who seek relief through the divorce court-the dis contented ones and the disappointed. The first class includes all those who step lightly into and lightly out of everything. A marriage license costs very little, the ceremony is mere matter of form, a fur nished room is a home. Here's a sandy foundation for a structure which Is supp posed to endure for 40 or 50 years. Is it any wonder that such structures collapse under the first weight of responsibility or before the first blast of diversity? The wife goes back to her parents, and after the statutory time the court will grant a divorce a vinculo matrimonii on the ground of abandonment. The young couple, aged, respectively, about "A and 21, are once more free and ready to select other sandy foundations And this is marriagel This is the modern fulfill ment of the divine mandate. This is the observance of the promise made to the question, Do you take this woman to be your lawful wife, and do you prom ise before God and these witnesses to love her. comfort her, hnor and keep her in sickness and health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her so long as you both shall live?" and to which the man made answer "I do." Similarly is the woman questioned, and similarly does she answer-and yet there are 100,000 people who annually fiout these promises to the windsl

Yes; sometimes the harness gals us and the task irks us. We need to discover the joy of working. Because Greater than the common hire of wages, more than the jingling of the metal we call money, is the satisfaction we ought to find in work well done, a burden well carried-the expression in our work of the best that is in us. That is the real reward
 It is our common mistake to complain of burdens.
 They are the making of us.
 Without them manhood and woman hood cannot be.
 As the jar on the head of the woman brings to her both pose and purpose, so our burdens bring to us the balance of character, the fiber of courage.

ert after the mirage has vanished To inspire false hopes is to betray the one in whom such hopes arise.
 O colder than the wind that freezes

 played
 Is the congealing pang which seizes
 The trusting bosom when betrayed.
 Chilled to the heart, even to the hearts core, is the woman who marres only to find her god is only clay, or the man who finds after marriage that his "once adored divinity" is a mere thing of shreds and patches. Marriage is said to be lottery. It should not be such, and 1t need not be such, if people took as much precaution before investing their pros- poets of future happiness on the venture as they ordinarily de before investing few dollars in a commercial enterprise. Marriage is a lottery only by knaves who have everything to win and nothing to lose, or for fools who have everything to lose and nothing to win Marriage is a serious matter for the man or woman possessing ordinary common sense, and even to them it comes as a revelation, sometimes disclosing auriferous qualities where the indications were merely fer ruginous. Such a revelation, especially if 1t be mutual, is joyful surprise to both, a source of delight and a strength ening of the bonds between them but if the indications are auriferous and the expectations are based upon them it cer- tainly will prove a disappointment if 1t should turn out that the property is not

vorce. Here are the four stages following in succession as naturally as spring, sum- mer, autumn, winter. If there were no first there would be no second or third or fourth. Having a first to start with, any number may follow, and occasionally the eighth or tenth stage may be reached. What these stages are may be more easily understood than described, but certain it is that they may extend to the bottonnless pit. When the deserted and divorced wife
 Becomes a wreck at random driven,
 Without a thought or hope of heaven, there's no saying how deep she will go nor how many she will drag down.

 Divorce is a terrible evil, worse by far than the great white plague, against which medical science and philanthropy are waging such incessant war One mil lion divorces in 20 years is equal to 50,000 a year. If that number of deaths arose from any one preventable cause there would be immediate action taken by the national government but the same num- Der of divorces does no more than to call forth a mere depreeaton or mild denun- citation. Neither depreeation nor denun- citation will prevent divorce; it is doubtful

by any one of his predecessors. When James G. Blaine reluctantly entered Gar fields cabinet, his fertile imagination fell a-dreaming dreams, and he saw him. self the architect of a Pan-America em- bracing the entire western hemisphere from pole to pole. The death of Gar field awakened him from the reverie, and Ben Harrison did not believe in dreams his origin, and that Is doubtful, remained a dream. By and by Grover Cleveland was President a second time. The Mon roe doctrine was invented by a British prime minister. as defense against a threatening coalition of the powers of continental Europe, and it served his pur- pose. John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State in Monroe's cabinet, turned it into the rhetoric of a famous state paper, and such it remained for threescore and ten years when England and Venezuela fell out over the boundary and the Ori- noco river. MT. Cleveland electrified the country and amazed the world by assert ing the Monroe doctrine as living prin- of Danton and succeeded admirably. and doubtless saved our nation great war in the future to establish what Cleveland secured by state paper.

the real mischief lies in the fact that the Emperor Is anxious to impress the world with the idea that "the prevailing senti- ment among a large section of the middle and lower classes in Germany is unfriend- ly to England" and that he finds 1t mot the ca siest task" to oppose the majority of his own people.
 Now, there are those who think that when England desires to increase her navy she is doing it with view to az Gressiye action, but when the Emperor of a neighboring country calmly asserts that the majority of his people are against us. 1t becomes Incumbent upon England, l think, to see to it that she mab tains the supremacy of the sea, although probably nt the back of our minds we know that the hostility of which the German Elm yeror speaks is a bogey raised in order 10 show how valuable is his existence for the protection of the public peace.
 It Is strange That this hostility should have been unfolded to use at time when lne great mass of the German people have shown a slngularly fraternal sentiment, where there has been an interchange of friendly relations between editors of news papers, between pastors, between bnrgo- masters and trade unionists.

The latter Is really the most essential part of the report, as a knowledge of the cause of the evil will enable those interested to provide rem edy Desertion comes first with 39 per cent, this ground being about equally di- vided between husbands and wives. Next come adultery, drunkenness, cruelty and some minor causes, making up the re- maining 61 per cent.
 Desertion although the greatest, is not the gravest offense against matrimonial life. It is a remediable cause one that can be provided against at the outset of married life or rectifed during that pe- riod. If the intervening stages between marriage and divorce for this cause were to be specified it would be found that dis appointment came first, disgust second desertion third, and fourth and last the divorce. According to the French prov erb, Tt is the first step which counts, and never was this proverb more fully verified than in this particular instance. Disappointment Is the first stage.

Evarts, his speeches read as well as Conkling's. Marcey, Seward, Fish and Eyarts stand in the front rank of Amer ican statesmen who held the office of Secretary of State, but it is doubtful if any one of them equaled-as certain ly no one of them surpassed-the ad- ministration of MT. Root of that great trust. Less of a politician than Van Buren CT Marcy, or Seward, or Conk ling or Hill, as statesman he Is the equal of any man New York ever sent to the Senate.
 Elihu Root was born in Oneida county N. r., in 1845, near where Roscoe Conk- ling first saw the light, and at time when ConAling was a schoolboy of 16. At 19 young Root was graduated from Ham ilton college, of which his father, Oren Root, was professor of mathematics. He taught school at the Rome academy in 1865 and in 1867 he was graduated from city, and began active practice in the metropolis, a member of the ablest bar then on the western hemisphere, number ing on it's roll Charles O'Conor Samuel J. Tilden, William M. Evarts, David Dud- ley Field, Joseph H. Choate and scores of others scarcely less able. It was not long before the new candidate for forensic eminence discovered qualities that made him worthy the steel of any one of his brothers of the profession, and when President Mckinley called him to Wash ington, Elihu Root, as confidently as any other jurist could claim the title of leader of the American bar.

 Take the case of the woman foolishly believing that it is a reflection upon her personality if she remain spinster who listens to the hatteries and compliments of a man of whom she knows nothing, ex- cept that he is gallant, good looking, dresses well, talks big and spends money freely. She met him at a seaside resort or at a theatre party, and she's not quite sure but she believes he's a millionaire He has all the indications of a gentle man, so. marriage being a lottery any how, she accepts his proposal and finds out after marriage what disappointment means. What else could have been ex- pected? It sometimes happens .that only one of the high contracting parties is de- ceiyed in the other, and then it may be possible that they will drag along through life somehow, preferring to lock up the skeleton; but life under such conditions is and must be far from the happy state which it ought to be.
