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.
