merely a formality. The wife more frequently contests than the husband. Cruelty heads the list of contested grounds and desertion Is at the foot Alimony, fs asked in about two cases In every fifteen and granted In two cases out of twenty-two.
 A most interesting phase or the question Is how long marriages last before divorce Is granted Owing to the laws delay and the time required before a decree can be obtained. the percentage is small in the first two years of married life, although many couples separate very quickly The highest figures are reached after three and four years of married lire ana then gradually decreases. More than one- half of all the divorces are grant ed before the end of the ninth year.
 The rapidity with which matters come to crisis in the married career is indicated by statistics of the time when they actually separate before ap- plying 10 the courts More separa- tions occur in the first and second years of married life than in any sub sequent year. By the end of the fifth year more than half of all the separa- tions have taken place.
 The Federal inquirers were not able to obtain complete data about the oc- equations of divorced persons. but from the partial figures collected they were able to show that actors and pro- fessional showmen head the list in proportion to their numbers, with musicians and teachers of music conn ing next Commercial travellers rank third Divorce Is least frequent among agricultural laborers and clergymen.

TRIED TO SELL AN
 IRISH TOWN BUT FAILED

Belfast, Dec. 4.-One of the largest sales by auction held in Ireland open- ed here the other day, when ground rents and house property comprising practically the whole of Dungannon, county Tycone, were offered by the in- structions of the Earl of Ranfurly.
 Dungannon is an important town, thirty-two miles southwest of Belfast, and has a population of about 4.00O. There are some linen and spinning mills in the district employing several hundred hands. Lord Ranfurly's fami- ly have been connected with the neigh borhood for over 200 years.
 The property included the Town Parks, consisting of grazing land. and the usual buildings to be found in modern Irish town, such as savings banks, police barracks premises of the Belfast Bank post office, dispensasy, rectory. markets. and frst-class ter race houses. There was large crowd present and before proceeding with the sale. Sir Robert Mcconnell, who was the auctioneer. said the security for the rents was as good as Consols. Some of the rents were secured twen- ty times over. and the trustees were prepared to lend a portion of the mon ey at 1 per cent.
 Sixty lots were offered, but the result was HI lHC majority of cases the reserve price was not reached. and only several lots were disposed of, fee farm rents selling at from twenty-five to twenty years purchase. Among the lots un- sold were the Belfast Bank. post office. dispensary and the market. There was not even a bid for the post office. Where bids were made it was note worthy that would-be buyers were not disposed to go beyond twenty-two to twenty-four years purchase.
 There was keen competition for one lot. a house In Howard-terrace, de- missed by lease for 999 years. and pro- ducing the yearly rent of S6.5s pounds. The bidding started at 500 pounds and rapidly rose to 780 pounds, at which the lots was withdrawn. On the first day the sum of 12.0O0 pounds was req lized. this including a number of lots disposed of privately and the Town Parks. The prices obtained for the latter were from 30 pounds to 4s pounds per acre. A number of labor CTS small cottages. with half an acre of land changed hands at from 25 pounds to 2S pounds, each.
 Sir Robert Mcconnell attributed the disappointing results to the stringeEcy of the money market brought about by the Budget.

divorce is, for husbands. adultery. ani for wives, cruelty. Of the divorces grantee to husbands 2s per cent were for adultery of the wife. and of those granted to wives. 27 per cent for cruelty on the part of the husband. Only 10 per cent of the divorces grant ed to wives were for adultery of the husband. and 10 per cent of the d. vorces granted to husbands were Tor cruelty on the part of the wife.
 Three-fourths of all the divorces granted in the United States are for one or the other of the three great causes--desertion, cruelty and adultery and their frequency Is in the order named Of all the cases fin twenty years the percentage was: Desertion 3s.9; cruelty. 21s; adultery, 16.3. All other grounds for action such as drunkenness, neglect to provide and many other legal charges figure only in small fractions.
 Adultery is the only ground on which the number of divorces grant ed to the husbands exceed the num- Der granted to the wife, This differ ence may be attributed to the pro bability that the offense when com mitted by the wife Is less likely to 5e condoned and perhaps more likely to be discovered. Public sentiment doubtless condemns the offense In the wife more strongly than in the hus- band. and possibly the courts are in some degree influenced thereby,
 The enormous increase in divorce In recent years is almost wholly in the less serious charges of desertion and cruelty.
 Few Cases Contested.
 Only Is per cet of the cases brought in twenty years were contested. and in many of these the contest was

 A beautiful woman. a beautiful rose and a beautiful sunset are the mys- teries of life for which one would gladly live life again." So wrote Heine. and we who recognize that these mysteries are ever about us-of daily occurrence in our lives-feel. too. that 1t is only the superlative of which the poet spoke and which we admire. Beauty in woman is often only phrase-a mere courtesy quality as it were-and in this the comparative sense beautiful women are as plentiful as good women or clever women. But real beauty-perfection of form and feature and coloring, and "everY wondrous attribute in woman that ever snared Apollo"-is only seen In one among a million, Such beauty Is power The world cannot resist it.. such beauty, though the possessor be of lowly birth. can move onward and upward without other influence. with out brains, even without breeding, to fame and wealth and high estate.

Desertion Commonest Ground.

The commonest single ground for di- vorce is assertion. This accounted for nearly 39 per cent of all the divorces granted in the twenty years. It is rather remarkable that almost one half of all those granted to husbands were for desertion, while in the cases of the wives only one-third.
 The next most important ground for
