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
ceived an answer direct and funda-
mental. 1t has been a serious, con-
tinUous, vexatious question from
time immemorial, says Newark News.
All governments, clerical and civil,
have tried to settle 1t 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 dlshonor
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.

Hotchkiss could not drive. Born a

our matches were gone and the small

covered with mud, painting with exer-

position to be surly. The rain, which

again, the lightning flashes doing
more than anything else to reveal our
isolated position.

A Chicago doctor has arranged to
give the dogs drink this summer.
He has bought thousand two-quart
basins and the city council has al
lowed him to distribute them about
the city in front of stores and houses,
and the tenants will be expected to
see that they are kept filled with wa
ter for the benefit of the dogs. The
doctor got the notion from the City of
Mexico, where storekeepers are re-
CURED to keep such basins at their
doors. The idea is a good one, and
should reduce the number of mad
dog scares in Chicago this summer.
There will be less hydrophobia If the
dogs can get water whenever they
