Improper Marriages.
During the past twenty year3 328,000
divorces have been granted by the courts
of the United Slates, 90 per cent, of
them to women. While this total is
large enough to appear to give good
grounds for the assertion that the per¬
petuity of the family is threatened, it
dwindles when brought marriages into comparison during the
with the number of
same period. One-twentieth of the to¬
tal is 16,400, tho number granted each
year, only about 1 per cent, of the num¬
ber of marriages. There 13 nothing in
the world that hum*;n beings undertake
to do that show so small a percentage of
total failure ns marriage. Though sta¬
tistics are not at hand to prove it, there
is doubt if divorces much exceed golden
weddings in number. They certainly do
not exceed silver weddings. of improper Investiga¬ marri¬
tion on the subject
ages would seem to offer more hope of
results beneficial to society than exami¬
nation of divorce statistics.
It takes both time and money to get a
divorce, while marriage is easy and
cheap. Even a tramp walking across the
country for a prize found no difficulty
the other day in fulfilling that part of his
agreement requiring him to marry some
one on the way. Children, utterly una¬
ble to earn a living or take care of the
family nature is sure to inflict upon
them, find no difficulty when they run
away from their parents in persuading
aome preacher or magistrate totally un¬
acquainted with them for life or the di¬
vorce court. There are not nearly so
many divorces as improper marriages,
and there are few cities in which the
preachers have not performed more im¬ d
proper marriages than the number of -
vorces granted by the courts. A fair
share of divorces are granted
in the interests of decency, jus¬
tice and morality, and for be
the welfare of society. This cannot
said of many marriages performed as an
alleged secret ceremony. No preacher
who unites children in marriage, or per
forms the ceremony for any couple not
known to him or vouched for by some
responsible should porson his mouth whom be in criticism knows,
ever open
of the divorce courts. That many di¬
vorces are improperly and fr&dulently
secured there is no doubt, but the end
of the marriage relation where the most
mischief is done is the front end, and a
large share of this mischief is done by
lazy and greedy preachers who ought to
be sawing wood for fifty cents a cord in¬
s'ead of marrying babies for a few dol¬
lars a couple.—Portland Oregonian.
Tobacco,Cholera, and theirCont-agions.
The eminent Dr. John Lika rs says :
“During the prevalence of cbolefa, I have
had repeated individuals opportunities addicted of Yhe observing
that tp use of
that tobacco disease, are more and^generally disposed to in attacks of
its most
malignant and fatal form."
Dr. W,H1ard Parker, long at the' head
of the medical profession in New York
City, said: “All who smoke or cherv,
We more apt to die in epidemics than
other people.”
Dr. O. M. Stone, of Boston, said:
“The idea that tobacco prevents disease
is an error. A tobacco user’s chances
of recovery from any malignant disease
are lessened fifty per cent.”
Capt. G. B. Petting'll, who for many
years commanded vessels trading between
Boston and Cuba, Mexico and South
America, said: “Very few tobacco us¬
ers recover from yellow fever. I once
lost half my crew with it in Havana.
Every man who died used tobacco, and
every one who lived did not use it.”
Dr. Harris, of the New York city dis¬
pensary, where more diseases arc treated
than in any other place iu America, says:
“It is scarcely possible to euro a syphilitic
sore, or unite a fractured bone in a de¬
voted smoker.”
The London Lancet says: < t No
smoker can be a well man .”—Union
Signal.
An Indian zensnna missionary testifies
that the brains of many of the children

opium given when babies that it is al¬
most impossible to teach them the simp¬

Jelly Fishes.
Jelly fishes have been made a subject

tories, and ever so many
things have been learned about them.

is the ‘-‘Portuguese man-o’war.” It looks
somewhat like a football as it floats on
the surface of the water, with a fringed
top and colored blue and purple. It is
filled with air, and from the body of it
many tentacles hang down. Some of
these tentacles are as much as twenty
feet long. On coming into contact with
an animal, these long daugling shooting arms twine into

which they are attached by threads coiled

But in response to any irritation are
projected like so many poisonous needles
into the flesh of the victim, which is
drawn within reach of the shorter tenacles
and absorbed.
It is believed that these darts contained discharge

its tentacles around him, and it is only
with much difficulty and pain that they
can b» removed, owing to the fact that
the darts are barbed. Many other species
of jelly fishes are armed with similar
darts, as bathers who have met with
them know very well. They are some¬ is
times called “sea nettles.” There a
curious little fish that lives always inside

back inside of the umbrella after it has
been out on a foraging expedition. It is
very much afraid of being wounded by
the darts, and is apt to find much trouble
in obtaining an entrance without touch¬
ing the business parts of the animal.
There are some small jelly fishes which
live under the umbrellas of the big
ones.
