Grounds for the divorce of wives in tapan are reduced to seven fixed JcauSe, in which the most serious incentives are outbreaks of d.Bobcd, ence or temper against r-mother-in-law ; jealous is next in importances annoying m any wise the peace of the husband's kinsmen, gos sip and over loud talking and quarrel- ma at home, steamy - mentioned also as just reasons .or legal procedure against a wife. Ap parently no question of propriety on the wife's side or provision (or her lu ture support are considered and the father always takes the children, which is a plam injustice. On the whole, however, reasons for divorce m T-n arfl not more frivolous than in LL thPr countries that esteem themselves vastly her superior in point of civilization. In Italy, and South r,l., nf ll our States. IS L,&roiiua uu'j v.. .

Certainly, then, Japan can improve her divorce laws very slightly by studying those of her sister nations, and as a Japanese wife can in turn divorce the husband who thrusts an unpleasant mother in law on her there seems no need of dep.or ing her condition. For many years the habit of arsenic eating by the people of Styna, a duchy of Austria, has been known to the scientific world. Travelers who have passed through Styriahave come oacK with reports on this practice, saying that the people of this country were accustomed to taking a white mineral, which was arsenic. A OMcago Trick. But Scmohcw tho Drummer Couldn't Seem to Make It Work. That this was so was denied by Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system wiien entering u through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable phy sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.

Many phy sicians have gone there simply W n vestigate this practice of arsenic eat ing.

Another about this case is, the " b- o.-- . . . , .u. man began it lust uy racing uli grains,' an amount which we would consider decidedly dangerous. On several occasions he attempted to leave off taking the drug, but was made violently ill, only to recover on resuming his usual allowance. Wash inijion ktar. ' I saw a queer trick in Chicago the other day," said the drummer as he lighted a fresh cigar and pared his nails with his pocketknife. Of course two or three of the group wanted to know all about it, and he continued : fin of von let me have a clean $1 bill for a moment. Ah, that's a ,iiic of a 1m11 inst oti tne press iasr. week. Now, then, I lay the bill face downward on the floor thus. The chap who did the trick was not a pro-r.,ccin-.l iinroler. Vint he did it with neatness and dispatch. I don't say I can do it myself, but I'll try." " But what is the trick ?" " Why, I take my knife and cut the bill lengthwise so. That divideg the bill into four equal portions, doesn't it ?" , Every one in the group answered that it did, and the drummer gazed at the nieces ?wliue ana saia : .....1 . -1- ilirt niereft 1 ne hick ui . r-" together so that the edges will unite.
