rifying as possible to the visitors
When Guanajuato became the scene
OF great mining activity a few years
ago, caused by the advent of many
Americans, the newcomers made pro
test to the government authorities Of
the horrifying spectacle in the under
ground chamber. In response to this
protest the authorities issued an order
that these skeletons must be clothed
so as to hide their shimmering bones
from the eyes of the visitors to the
place. The effect Of this order is to
make the occupants of the chamber
more grotestQue and terrifying than
when their nakedness was exposed
Each grinning skeleton now wears a
full suit Of clothes which hang Imply
upon the bones. Some wear hats that
are titled at rakish angles.
The big pile of bones that formerly
occupied one end of the Guanajauto
chamber of horrors has been removed
and an effort is now being made to
keep the place in fit condition for the
reception of American and other visi
tors.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

The question of divorces has been
under careful consideration for many
centuries. The Pharisees tempted
Christ by asking his judgment on the
Mosaic law of enforcement, and re-
ceived an answer direct and funda-
mental It has been serious, a con-
tinuous, a vexatious question from
time immemorial, says Newark News.
All governments, clerical and civil,
have tried to settle it and have failed.
Our own government and each OF the
states and all the courts have for
many years been trying to establish
uniform divorce laws, and to discour-
age divorces, as much as possible.
Yet they are increasing instead of
diminishing. A few denominations
will not tolerate divorces, but the civil
laws recognize them. From the point
of view Of the latter the innocent
party to divorce proceedings Is guilty
of no offense, ought not to be held in
dishonor and should be permitted to
marry again. 1t is the abuse Of the
divorce laws by immoral, unconscion-
able, undesirable citizens that has
brought the most serious dishonor
upon the dissolution of the marriage
contract. The Reformed synod's atti-
tude with reference to innocent
parties in necessary divorce proceed
lngs accords with general public senti-
ment. What should be done to the
guilty ones is yet under discussion.
