CAUSES OF DIVORCE

Judge Petit of Chicago has hat hundreds of divorce cases on his cal endar' and has made a careful stud, of what causes domestic troubles ant breaks up many homes. The othe day he summarized his ideas on thu subject. Although he offers nothing materially new, yet his analysis O conditions is interesting First, Judge Petit has come to thu conclusion that parents of young mar. ried people are largely to blame fol family troubles.
 "The mothers-in-law are foremos trouble-makers," said the judge. ''- have all reverence for mothers and motherhood, but they must not argue law, but must realize that they are in. dividuals and have their work to dc in the world. Mother can give ad- vice when asked for it.
 "But summer resorts, winter resorts and flat life can be blamed for many divorces
 ..It is bad for husband and wife tc be separated by trips away from home.
 ADVICE FOR HUSBANDS.
 "My advice to husbands who wish to avoid divorce, is this:
 Don't quote mother.
 Call up your wife while at business and ask how she is, and that you call ed her up just to hear her voice.
 Bring her a box of candy.
 "One of the new books that she Is interested in.
 "A flower, even if it is faded and you have picked it off the street.
 "A pretty pin or handkerchief.
 And don't ever lay your head or your pillow at night without having done something to gain and obtain a firmer hold on your wife'S love.
 kiss her every day.
 "At least once a month, meet her downtown and take her to dinner and the theatre.
 Don't ever stop courting, for as soon as you do some other man will begin.
 Make your wife your companion.
 Take her out with you, and when you have to have big time, take your wife along, and the divorce evil will be lessened.
 INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIVES.
 "For the wives I should advise:
 Don't quote father.
 "Pet your husband; he is only big kid.
 Meet him at the door with smile.
 Dress as carefully as you did when he came courting.
 Wear the color he likes you in and the style of gown.
 Have something in the way of a surprise dish for dinner.
 Read the papers and magazines and be your husbands intellectual equal
 Keep up with him in any special line of work
 Encourage his hobby
 Be sympathetic, and do not tell him all the troubles of the day; he has had his own, more significant and important individually than all yours put together.
 Keep his clothes in order, a clean house and good food.
 Your husband is then yours for ever and ever. No chorus girl or pret- ty stenographer can take him away from you. But keep him or somebody else will snap him up and make him think she alone ever did or will un- derstand him."

STAINING THE KEG
(Youth's Companion.)

Rufus Blevins, giant woodchopper whose good nature and ready wit made him welcome addition to the store circle, entered the village groc- cry The loafers moved little closer together to make room for Rufe on a soap box, but he marched past the friendly circle, pumped an empty molasses keg down on the counter and drew a stained bill from his pocket, which he held out to the proprietor of the store. An expectant grin went around the circle, for Store Keeper Jones had the reputation of never wrongding himself by over-weighing or undercharging. The merchant ad- justed his glasses and looked expec- tantly from the bill to the woodchop- per.
 'Notice you charged me for five gallons O molasses last time I had this four-gallon keg filled,'' drawled Rufe 'I don't mind paying for the extra gallon, MT. Jones, but I do hate to have a good keg strained to pieces.''

Electrical Industries.

Time and again we read that cleo
tricty is still in the heyday of its youth,
and, in view of the fact that pretty
near everything from the kitchen to the
railroads seems to be electrified. this
stereotyped statement brings its doubts,
But, every time the census man issues
new bulletin on the electrical indus
try, and we see with our own eyes the
marvellous growth of electricity. we
realize the truth of this prediction
The electrical industries have had
most remarkable development during
the past decade. The value of the
machinery and apparatus manufactured
for use in the generation and utilization
increased fron S105, s32 900 in 1899 to
1883, SOL 900 in 1904, and s243 ,967 900 in
. 1909, or 1870 per cent. during the decade.
