his wife expecting hIhi would bring
action for divorce, but hIiu merely had
him arrested for assault, 'flip man him

vance Just what a woman will do.
Twenty cadets were found deficient
nt tho recent West 1'olnt examinations,
niitl were discharged. Every one of
them failed In mathematics. Thero
may bo consolation to tho young men
In tho fact that In Greater West Point,
othcrwiKo known as the world at large,
many reputable and useful citizens aro
poor mathematicians. ,
AH classes of people nowadays recognize-
the value of advertising. A pub
lic Institution In an Eastern city re
cently had a number of unclaimed lm
bleH to dispose of, 1'ubllclty soon
brought over a hundred applicants for
the little strangers. A minister In Ohio
has Increased tho attcudiiuco at his
church by means of largo display ads.
He pays the regular rates, too, and
takes caro to get top of column and
next to reading matter. lie Is his owii
nd. writer, and gets up his nils, in a
bright, nttractlvb manner. Vorlly, tho
methods of commercialism are spread

Tho peanut seems to bo playing tho
part of "clvlllzer" In somo of tho for
eign possessions In tropical Africa.
Traders glvo a negro a bushel of nuts
for seed on condition that ho returns
four bushels from his crop, and slnco
the yield In good years Is twcutyfold,
tho black man generally has a surplus
which he can sell at the rate of a shill
ing a bushel. From a single station In
Kciicgamhla there were shipped, In
181)8, twenty-nine thousand tons.
Small ltoys ami scientists have long
lxHu in agreement touching tho value
of tho peanut; now statesmen iiImi will
have to do It honor, since It seems like
ly to lead tho native African Into tho
paths of agriculture.
Ouo does not need to bo a lawyer In
order to realize tho force of (Jen. Man
demon's address before tho American
Unr Association, rospectlpg the neces
slty of uniform divorce laws. No two
States exactly agree In statutory treat
ment of tho subject. What Is cause for
divorce In one State Is not cause In an
other. Tho result In that the legltl.
maey of children Is culled In question,
real estate titles are clouded and many
other Injustices and annoyances con
tinually arise which could bo wholly
avoided by uniformity of divorce laws
lu till the States. Nor Is there any se
rious obstacle In tho way of attaining
Htich uniformity. A Joint convention
of representative lawyers front the va
rious Stales would agree iion a de
sirable statute and tho various Legis
latures would undoubtedly enact tho
ueovMsary legislation, Any Governor
who should take the Initiative In the
matter might depend upon meeting
with n friendly response from his fel
low executives. And oven If thero
should bo a few dissenters a largo ma
jority of tho Stutes would reach an
agreement which would greatly Itn
prove tho situation. It Is unfortunate
that there sliuulit be any necessity at
all for divorce. Tho severing of tho
uiurrlHge tie Is perhaps the most seri
ous act with which tho civil law con.
rem Itself. Hut If we aro to have ill-vorevs-nnd
thero Ib small hopo that wo
can abolish theiu-lt Is at least advisa
ble that tho laws governing tlieui
should be tho same throughout tho na
tion. It Is tho part of wisdom to mini
mize a bad business. The States should
get together and reform the divorce
laws. 1'erhaps If they were to do that
they would see tho advisability for uni
form legislation In many other matters
respecting which thero Is a great and
most undesirable divergence of sta
tutes, Mont jiooiilu who aro not In kooiI
health Know In a t;enoral way what
nils (liom; home of tlicin know wliut
Mini of food they oiiBht to eat lu onler
o overcome their bodily Intlriultles and
p'l'veut a recurrence of them, Itui neo
l'lo who huvu 1,'ood heultli usually con-
sldcr only" their taste or their pocket
book when they ordera meal, An ex
periment which otto of the Hoston ho
tels is making shows' that others be
sides Invalids are beginning to under
stand that It Is Important to have tho
right sort of food as well ns. to have It
properly cooked. Tho cafe of this ho
tel provides not only it bill of fare, but
a diet list made out by a physician
and intended as a guide to the p.ittous
of the house. It prescribes tho food
best suited to various physical condi
tions. To tho fat man it offers a va
riety of dishes that tickle his palate,
and at the same time check his ten
dency to grow fatter. Tho thin and
anemic can procure the things which
mako blood and tissue and build up an
enfeebled system. The new way of
looking at tho food question puts health
llrst and preference afterward. It con
siders tho needs of the Individual, and
makes practical application of the old
saying that "one man's meat is another
man's poison," It tries to make the
diet like n well-stocked wardrobe, of
fering plenty of variety, yet designed
for and lltted to tho person fur whom It
Is Intended. I, line Ih n charming color,
but the red-haired girl does not need it
to enhance her peculiar charms. Sir
loin steak Is a toothsome and desirable
thing, but melons and coarse bread
may bo better for'thc full-blooded man
who has a tendency to rheumatism.
How one can lit Ills diet to his own
needs Is a matter which the physician
can best decide. It Is certainly easier
to preserve heath by the use of proper
fooil than to regain it by taking medi
cine; and the prescription III led In a
restaurant is plcasauter to take than
one compounded by the druggist.
Tho presence of hundreds of young
sters of all ages wearing glasses lu our
public school should have admonished
the school authorities long ago that
present school methods or practices aro
largely responsible for tho Impairment
of tho eyesight of children. In many In
stances It Ih noted that before a child
him passed through the primary grades
It Is found necessary to embellish Its
face with n pair of rpectacles. While
tho present tendency to cover with
glasses the face of childhood may he
partly ascribed to tho modern Industry
and persistence of eye specialists, It Is
nevertheless a fact that In the largo
percentage of cases thero Is positive Im
pairment of vision ami the glasses aro
Indispensable to study and to good
health. There Ih no longer any disposi
tion to challenge tho statement that
visual defects have a posltlvoiiuddlrcct
effect upon tho nervous organization,
Interfering with digestion or heart ac
tion or causing headaches and mental
depression. An Investigation of tho eye
sight, or visual acuity, of children lu
tho public schools of ouo city, has re
sulted recently In somo Important dis
closures, among them being tho fact
that 3- per cent of tho boys thus far ex
amined have loss tl'iau two-thirds of
tho normal keenness! of sight, while 117
per cent of tho girls fall below two
thirds of uormalN It Is also ascertained
that tho llrst three years of school llfo
Increase eyo defects one-third. Tho
marked Increase In tho visual defects
lu tho first three years of school life Ih
attributed to tho greater concentration
of tho powers nf vision In tho effort to
learn to read. In older persons, where u
cursory glance at a fow letters lu a lino
of reading reveals tho meaning, the ef
fort to read Is not attended with much
eyo strain, provided tho type Is of good
slzo. In children however, the eyo must
tulip In tho form of every letter In evory
word. Increased eyo defects In the
lower grades aro also duo to tho fact
that tho primary rooms aro Invariably
tho poorest lighted. When It Is known
that eyo strain has n deleterious effect
upon tho general health and that eyo
defects aro uniformly accompanied by
decline In mental power, amounting In
many Instances to dullness, It Is easy
to Justify overy movement on tho part
of tho board, no matter what tho ex
pense, to remedy theso defects and to
remove ns far as posslblo tho causes of
visual Impairment among school chil
dren. Tho rooms should bo bettor light
ed and no text books should bo allowed
In tho schools that tiro not printed In
largo typo.

alKiut to come t oau etui. It was taken
for grunted that Dr. Kck and Miss
Ithoads were to bo married tit last.
Hut they were mistaken. The great
Htouo house was never furnished or
occupied. Gradually the grass grew
tall and rank on the lawn, the bats and
owls Invaded the empty mansion, and
tho gate and fences fell Into ruin.
Kverylxxly called It "Kck's Folly." Still
the old physician kept up his regular
calls ou Miss Ithoads, and sho revolved
him with ns much favor ns over. Ftual
ly tho whole community nettled down
to the belief that they would always
remain single, Then It was the doc
tor's turn to get up a little surprise ou
his own account. Ouo evening last
week he and Mtw Ithoads were quiet
ly married and moved Into thu big
house on tUo hill, A force of painters
and decorators was put to work nnd
now "Kck's Folly" has become "Kck's
Delight."
