Divorce.
Divorce is an operation for the
removal of a husband or wife. It is
preformed by a lawyer instead of a
surgeon and can be done without
an anaesthetic, though the fee is as
large as if it had to be done with
knives, saws, stump pullers, and
electric massage. It is not painful
except when cross bills and co
respondents set in, but»is subject
to severe after-effects, such as
alimony which keeps the victim
financially bed-ridben for years.
In other countries divorce is re
sorted to only as a relief, and is re
garded as being too serious to use
as a cure for wife-beating or other
minor troubles. In this country di
vorce is used as repartee, as a div
ersion, an advertisment. as second
thought and as a means of playing
that fascinating game know as
“progressive marriage." Divorce in
this country is so common that the
slip knot is now being tied by all
ministers. Couples marry for bet
ter or for divorce. In New York,
where people are so prosperous that
they are not afraid of lawyers, it
takes longer to call off the matri
monial history of a society leader
than it does to announce the ances
try of a Bostonese.
. Cases for divorce vary in differ
ent states which, together with the
low rates and excellent train ser
vice, is a great conveience, In
South Carolina there is no excuse
I for divorce, while in Reno, Nevada,
a $100 bill is ample reason, In Il
linois divorce is as free as air to
the lowest as well as the highest
and the wife who burns beefsteak,
or the husband whose feet perspire
have no legal standing and are like
ly to lose their matrimonial jobs at
anytime. It usually takes a young
couple a year or two to decide
whether they are fitted for matri
mony, but in Chicago they marry
first and decide afterward with the
help of the judge.
Owingto theease in which divorce
can be obtained in this country it is
being greatly overdone. Wives are
getting divorces in order to raise
their husbands' salaries and hus
bands are getting divorces in order!
to improvetheir wives'complexions. j
One wife at a time is still the rule 1
in this country, but the habit of i
keeping a list waiting is causing a
great deal of remark. It is time
for reform. Every man or woman
is entitled to make one mistake, but
when a husband has proven a re
peated fizzle, he should be compell
ed to go back to the lunch counter
brigade for the rest of his life and
give the bachelors a chance. —By
Geo. Fitch, copyright by Geo.
Mathew Adams.
What 1$ Genius.
In a talk on “real greatness" to a
delegation of students, Governor
Sulzer of New York, defined "gen
ius”-as foliows:
"Real greatness consists in the
possession and the development of
three faculties of observation, by
which you acquire knowledge: con
centration, by which you store it
away, and analyzation, by which
you utilize it. Any individual who
possesses these three great facul
ties is called a geuius.”

AS TO BOOKS AND EDUCATION
Gladstone’* Advice and Summing Up
Are Worth the Careful Consid
eration of All Readers.
And now I commend you again to
your books. Books are delightful so
ciety. If you go into a room and find
it full of books even without taking
them from their shelves, they seem to
speak to you, to bid you welcome.
They seem to tell you that they have
something inside their covers that will
he good for you, and that they are
willing and desirous to Impart to you.
Value them much. Endeavor to turn
them to good account and pray recol
lect this, that the education of the
mind is not merely a storage of goods
in t-he mind. The mind of man, some
people seem to think, is a storehouse
which should be filled with a quantity
of useful commodities which may be
taken out like packets from a shop
and delivered and distributed accord
ing to the occasions of life. I will not
say that this Is not true as far as it
goes, but it goes a very little way;
tor commodities may he taken In, and
commodities may be tak°n out, but the
warehouse remains just the same as it
was before, or probably a little worse.
That ought not to be the case with a
man’s mind. No doubt you are able to
cull knowledge that is useful for the
temporal purposes of life, but never
torget that the purpose for which a
man lives is the improvement of the
man himself, so that, he m^y go out
of the world having, in his great
sphere or his small one, done some
little good to his fellow creatures, and
labored a little to diminish the sin
and the sorrow that are in the world.
—Gladstone on the Use of Books.
ECHOES LOUDER THAN SOUND
Probably Hard Thing to Imagine, But
Science Has Proved It a Fact
Beyond Doubt.
To most persons It would seem Im
possible for an echo to be louder than
the sound that produced the echo, but
under certain rather peculiar condi
tions this is really true.
When a revolver is fired from a bal
loon the report is sharp, but not so
loud as it would be if the gun were
tired on the surface of the earth.
If the balloon is up something like
2.000 feet or higher, there will be a
few seconds’ silence after the revolver
shot and then a roar or deep rumble
will rise up from the earth.
If an explosive is lowered from the
basket of the balloon until it hangs a
few hundred feet below, and it is dis
charged with an electric spark from
a battery in the hands of one of the
aeronauts, there will come to the
ears of those above a report like a re
volver shot and then a few seconds
of silence, followed by a peal of the
loudest thunder ever heard.
There is no solid background about
or above the balloonists to produce a
rebound of the atmospheric sound
wave and the air is more dense below.
Thus, when the sound-waves pene
trate the denser lower strata of air
and then the solid earth, the echo pro
duced seems to the ears of the occu
pants of the balloon far louder than
the original sound/—Harper’s Weekly.
Paris Needs Skyscrapers.
Paris is realizing that it is faced
with the problem of a greatly over
crowded business center, and the only
solution of the matter seems to be
the adoption of the American sky
scraper, which is being bitterly op
posed by the true Parisian, who re
gards the innovation as destructive
to many of the famous structures and
disastrous to the appearance of the
city. It is a fight of the new against
the old. and means the elimination of
many cherished Institutions and time
honored customs of the typical
Frenchman of the gay metropolis.
As an Owner Should Be.
Whilst It Is each man's interest that
not only ease and convenience of liv
ing, but also wealth or surplus prod
ucts should exist somewhere. It need
not. be in his hands. Often it is very
undesirable to him. Goethe Faid well:
"Nobody should be rich but those who
understand it." Some men are born
to own. and can animate all their
possessions. Others cannot; their
owning is not graceful—seems to be
a compromise of their character;
they seem to steal their own divi
dends.. They should own who can ad
minister, not they who hoard and con
ceal; not they who, the great pro
prietors they are, are only the great
er beggars, but they whose work
carves out work for more, opens a
path for all. For he is the rich man
in whom the people are rich; and he
is the poor man in whom the people
are poor.—Emerson.
Want Cotton Baled More Carefully.
It is estimated that there is a
loss of $50,000,000 a year on
American cotton as the result of
the shiftless way in which the
crop is packed for market. A
large part of our cotton goes
abroad where it has to compete
with other cotton, and the careless
way in which it is baled causes a
prejudice against it and tends to
lower prices. The bales are loosely
compressed, insufficiently bound
and poorly wrapped with burlap, so
that often they ‘'look like rag
bags,” it is complained. Then too
our shiDpers are careless about
marking them and keeping them
dry, so that one bale out of every
10 and sometimes one out of every
five is for one reason or another
below standard.
When it is remembered that a
bale of cotton weighs 500 pounds
and that it is worth from $60 to
$75 usually, it would seem as if it
would pay to give attention to ev
ery detail of this sort. Of course
American cotton furnishes nearlv
all the world's supply, and the man
ufacturers have to take it if they
want any, but nevertheless our no
toriously lax methods of handling
the staple hurt the market very
much and react on the pocket
books of the producers by giving an
excuse for reducing prices.
