FOR WOMEN FOLKS
STIMULANTS FOR FLOWERS.
One of the best stimulants that can
be given to pot plants, especially
palms and ferns, is soot water, Tie a
quantity of soot in a conr.-e muslin
Lae, attaching a heavy stone to it, so
that it will sink; leu this soak for sev
eral days in a tub of water and then
let it stand a day or two until quite
clear. One quart of soot to seven gal
lons of water is quite sufficien. It
renders the foliage more vivid, as well
as stimulating' growth.—Detroit Free
Press.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Lust September the house of com
mons expressed, by means of an ad
dress, a desire to be furnished with
a return giving details of the mar
riage and d.vorce laws prevailing in
the most important colonies and
foreigns countries.
Circulars asking for information
were, therefore, sent by Lord Rose
bery to the queen’s representatives
aboard while the colonial office made
similar requests to our dependcies, the
result of wtucn has been already em
bodied in a return presented to par
-1 lament.
The report from foreign countries
have now been issued in the blue
Book, which contains some curious
and novel facts relating to this
subject One of the questions es
pecially asked was as to the age
at which marriage can be contract
ed.
It seems that in Aus'ria the
ability to marry commences with
the fourteenth year, but up to the
age of twenty-four the consent of
rhe father or gardian has to be ob
tained, Ju Russia the bridegroom
nuj not be younger than eighteen
nor the bride younger than six
teen.
Persons over eighty are pro
hibited from marrying at all,
while no person is permitted to con
>ract a fourth marriage. The farth
er north we go the later becomes
(he marriageable age, till in Swed
en and Norway the law is that a
man cannot wed till he is twenty
one, Dur a woman till she is eigh
teen. lu America v«ry curious
differeuceH exist nj different
st ales.
“It is extremely difficult to give ;
even an outline of the marriage
laws prevailing in this country,’’
remarks our representative, as
there are forty-seven sovereign
states, each claiming exclusive
control over the matter of the mar'
riage of its citizens.
Hence it comes that in Montana
and Washington twenty-one is the
earliest marrying age for a man
and eighteen for a woman, while
pi New Jersey or the
ages are respectively fourteen and
twelve.
All that a schoolboy in Wash
ington, therefore, has to do in or
der to wed a schoolgirl friend, is to
induce her to lay her skipping
rope aside for a time and fly with
him over the border into a mere
complaisant state. In the matter
of charges and fees there is a de
lightful lack of unamity among
civilized nations.
In Sweden and Norway, for ex
ample, time and place are quite
optional, weddings in church be
ing exceptional, and you are not
bound to give the officiating cler
gyman any fee whatever.
In Switzerland the only fee is
one to cover the expense of publi
cation of notice of marriage in a
local newspaper and registration,
and you can marry at any hour
you please.
In Greeoe a bishop’s license
costs three drachmas, or half a
crown, and the registration five
drachmas, Iu Belgium they make
a little charge for a “marriage
pamphlet’’ presented to the par
ties, and for stamps, but even these
are dispensed with if the parties
make declaration of poverty.
Ou th i subject of the grounds of
divorce very great divergences oc
cur between the law? of different
nations.
In Massachusetts and Missisi
ppi, “the habitual use of opium or (
like drugs’’ is held a sufficient ex
cuse for untying the marriage knot J
and in some states, as West Vir- 1
ginia, marriage will be aunu led if !
one of the parties is a negro and ‘ t
the other a white person As to 1
the cost of divorce, the cheapest '
and simplest kind iu the states J
costs about if 100; in Germany it [
vanes from £7 10s up to £ls. ,
In Russia. Consistorial Courts
pronounce in divorce cases, and
the expence is great. Saxony’s
modest figure is from £2 10s up
to £5.
There are other remarkable reg
ulations disclosed in the reports
furnished to ur governin'nt.Thus
in PoKugal, “it is the duly of a
married woman to accompany her
husband everywhere, except to a
foreign country.” and in France
the civil c de has the same law
without the exception.
A Portuguese married woman
also -‘may not publish her literary
works without her husband’s con
sent.” Parties divorced may not
remarry in Roumania. t
In Italy there is no divorce a
all, marriage being annuled only
by the dea'h of one of the parties,
while in America the only state
hug a simular law is South Car
olina.
.?s- -“.-tm tsu
In France, to call a wife-canail
le’’ before her children justifies a
decree ot divorce, as also does a
wife’s refusal to obey her husband
when it is a question of a theatri
cal engagement.
A husband can also be divorced so
ill-lrea’meut from his mother-in
law < r his step children .In spits of
tie proverb about the advantages
of commencing matrimony with a
little aversion, it is the law in
Germany that “iDSurper , ’ble aver
sion” may become a ground of di
vorce if both parties consent and
there are no children
Komaiuia distingui hes itself
by an enactment that a divorce can
be pronounced if the tribunals are
B i isfied that existence in common
is impossible.
