There is singular lack of original
lily In the gifts our wealthy Americans
make for public purposes, remarks the
Detroit Free Press. Last year is found
TO have been the greatest the world has
ever seen i'm such benefactions, the ag-
gregate donations amounting 10 the
huge total of $3.50. 100000. some $751;
600, 600 more than had been recorded In
any previous twelve months. but in the
long array of objects contemplated by
the donors there are only two or three
that vary from the common run. one
woman gave s5.O0O,OOO To establish and
endow home for Kentucky gentle
women who have met financial mis-
fortune. James A. Patten, the cotton
oornerer donated s4,OOO,OOO TO the
study of tuberculosis. from which his
brother and his son have died. General
n. Coleman du Pont gave $1,000, 600 to
the state of Delaware to build a bou-
levard the length of the state. A broth
er OF the late Senator Stanford gave
81 900, 600 TO stimulate the study of
spiritism. Apart from these the list
includes an almost monotonous, series
of hospitals. colleges and religious
agencies. with occasional variations in
favor OF charitable purposes not prop
erly included in these three classes but
closely allied to them.

trade between the United States and

dollars in 1905, oil millions; in 1910,
290 million; and i'm the first eleven
months of 1911 for which details are
available, 273 million. of which over
20 million represented the month of
November. thus indicating for the
complete calendar year a total of fully
800 million dollars.

history for gold production. The di-

lproximately $466.OOO,OOO THIS may
in some measure account for the easy

may have been is pretty hard to tell
for the depression of trade was world
wide. But il is fair to assume that if
there had been a money stringency be-
sides things might have been much
worse. We have seen many explana-
lions Of the probable causes Of the
business depression. but the most rea
sonable still seems TO be that the coun-
try simply had to have time 10 recover

The consideration OF petitions for
divorce occupies very considerable
part of the time of the courts of this
state, and tho magnitude OF the ques-
ton can hardly be shown better than
by examining the official returns filed
in the department of state by the
clerks of the different counties.
According to the statements received
there were 10.45o bills for divorce
pending in the courts of Michigan on
January 1. 1910 The number of new
bills filed during the year was $3.50.
making a total OF 1906 cases under
consideration by the courts during the
year.
There were S,246 divorces granted in
Michigan during the year. while only
6S were refused. 236 were withdrawn
or otherwise disposed OF and 1851
would apparently go over as divorces
pending" for the present year. Taking
1906 as the aggregate number Of
cases before the courts. then the num-
her granted would constitute 2O.2 per
cent of the total number of petitions,
while no less than $50 per cent re-
NAMED pending. The numbers refused
and withdrawn altogether amount to
only Is per cent.
