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.

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.
