PREACHING AND JUDGING

1t is a mad world indeed in which
ministers Of the gospel sit solemn.
in divorce courts to study and
judges not infrequently mount the
pulpit pcmpously to preach.
Sociology under one name or an
other has upset several clergymen
and broken up many congregation.
Time will show what IS to become Of
the judges who take more interest
in sermonizing than they do in their
| magistracy. Not much but poor
preaching and an imperfect admins
tration Of the law can result from
such methods.
| In the matter of divorce. our
preacher investigators do not seem
to know that their weightiest lespon-
legislators, or as judges. or as sOci-
3logists, but as teachers Of faith and
morals. They have an opportunity
their sphere to lay the groundwork
IF good character. If they fail with
al the thunders of Sinai at their COM
mand. they cannot hope to improve
upon their work later on IN the dis
putatious realms OF law and states
manship.
Ministers do not have a monopoly |
Of marriage rites by any means, and |
it is probable that the percentage of |
riages is not greater than that which |
follows religious ceremonies. Min
listers might refuse wholly to officiate
at marriages and the number Of such
contracts would not be decreased
If religion and its teachers cannot
prepare men and women for circum-
spect lives in the married state they
have only one further opportunity
o deal with the derelicts and that is
through society. 1t generally hap
,ens that the more scandalous mat
'imonial venture may be, the more
intent are principals on having it
,iven full religious and social sane
ion.
With the doors Of the church and
ociety closed to such people, some of
he worse phases of the divorce evil

MIDDLE AGED MAN.
He Thinks It Rheumatism That Is
Bothering Him and Not Gout.

From the New York Sun.
.'Can anybody tell me-" said the mid
dle-aged man. 1.-The difference between
rheumatism and govt? Now, not being
very we'll versed in medical science. know
ing very little in fact about osteology or
therapeutics or anatomy, materIa medica
or pharmacopea. 1 wouldn't undertake,
myself. offhand to say; but in a general
way I would say that govt is an ailment
that attacks the rich and rheumatism
the poor: and, being not what you would
call rich man, suppose what I've got
is rheumatism.
~ have read in novels and seen pic
or rather more who sat in great easy
chairs and with one foot all swathed up
in bandages stretched out in front Of
them supported on a footrest. This Is
the old gentleman, living in a fine old
manor house or In q splendid mansion
in town. who is described in the novel as
being testy and Observation-Disclosures as I
understand it, meaning not that he has
cholera or anything Of that sort. but an
uneven temper; and this old gentleman
with foot thus done up In bandages and
supported on q footrest has govt
But several Of my symptoms are dif-
ferent l don't live in an old manor
house. nor in mansion in town; and
however disposed I might be to be testy
and choleric. I have to keep my temper,
and regime 1t on a foot rest. have to
keep more or less on the move.

the familiar govt symptoms we might
safely diagnose my case as one Of just
plain rheumatism: but I guess my rheu-
matism hurts me about as much as the
govt Of our testy and choleric old friend
hurts him.

1t Is more than an appearance in this
city. 1t Is real thing, as any one can
see who takes the trouble to go about q
little and. Of course, with open eyes. Sup
pose. for example, a person should hap
pen to be in the eastern portion OF the
city and should wander a little distance
from the Capitol in the direction Of the
rising sun. He might expect to find the
stretch of commons which quite recently
was all about Lincoln Park.
Beyond the Former Limit.
The observer goes beyond the attractive
combination Of lawn and shrubbery and
flowers which forms the park and still
he Is within the range Of closely built
streets and avenues What was formerly
the stepping-off place, apparently, in that
direction-1jth street east, where the car
tracks of the line on East Capitol street
ended-is now only a point in the city.
while still farther along the rows OF
houses continue.
The same condition is found along the
old bounds of the section from Florida
avenue on the north to the. Potomac on
the south. and when a park takes the
place Of the flats along the course Of the
Eastern branch. as that stream is i'm
proved. then the line Of habitations in
that direction will be pleasantly termi-
mated with public domain which, OWNS
to it's attractiveness, will become a pleas
ure resort for the people in much the
same way as is the reclaimed land on
the Potomac.

now to detect the beginning of that fringe
which marked the end of the city PROPER
and which used to be observed in the
vicinity Of 9Th street southeast where
the street cars leave the avenue and turn
to the south to go to the navy yard.
Some of the cars now continue east OF
9Th street and run to the bridge which
spans the Eastern branch on line with
Pennsylvania avenue. There Is found an
other car. which makes frequent trips
over the bridge and thence along that
portion of the extension Of the avenue
that lies on the other side Of the branch

respects this analogy applies TO the out
