Make Marriage Irremediable,
Says Dr. Farkhurst.
A WAY TO ENTER SOCIETY
Clergymen Aroused The Episcopal
Board Introduced a Canon Doing
Away With Divorces It Is Now
Within Discretion of Ministers to
Decline to Marry Divorcees.
The discovery that Sun FranciBCO,
Los Angeles, Kansas City, and Scat
tie count divorces at the rato of one
to every (our marriages Is all the
asorc significant when it Is considered
thai Paris, long famed for the laxity
I Its morals, records nineteen mar
stages to every divorce.
la 1901 Paris had 9.404 more mar
riages than Chicago, and 480 less di
vorces. Nor la it only in France that
the United States Buffers by compar
ison. The statistics compiled by the Unit
ed States Commissioner of Labor
Show that the increase in the ri mil
ker of divorces granted in this coun
try has been at the rate of 5.4 per cent
a year. On this basis, those permit
ted In 1905 will number 4S,S2u, says
The Globe.
On the other hand recent statistics
jf Great Britain, France, Germany,
witxorland, Belgium, Sweden, Uns
afe, and the Netherlands show that
the increase In Europe has boon at
the rate of .075 per cent a year. This
would place the total for Europe and
Australia for 1905 at 23,127.
If, therefore, the increase has been
maintained at 5.4 per cent a year, as
very Indication would seem to point,
the United States at the present time
laaues each year twice as many di
vorces as Europe, Canada, and Aus
tralia combined.
Thinking men and women the world
over have not been slow to recog
Btne this great menace to society unit
the home. W. E. Gladstone himself,
shortly before his death, sounded a
ote of warning particularly directed
at the United States.
"The future of America in tta high
est features." said he, "naturally de
pends upon the incidents of marriage.
No country has ever been bo directly
challenged as America now Is to
choose its course definitely with ref
erence to one, of the very greatest
ef those Incidents.
"The solidity and health of the so
cial body depend upon the soundness
of Its unit. That unit Is the family;
and the hinge of the family la to be
found In the great and profund Insti
tution of marriage.
"It might bo too much to say that,
a good system of marriage law and of
the practice appertaining to it, of It
self, insures the well being of n cnvn
munlty. But I cannot doubt tbnt
this converse Is trup, and that. If the
relations of husband nnd v.-Iff are
wrongly comprehended in what rmr.t
belongs to them, cither ss to law
or as to conduct, no nntlon can r'no
to the fulfilment of the higher des
tinies of man.
"While divorce of any kind Ir.in'r
tho Integrity of the family, divorce
with re-mnrrlage destroys it wiiii root
and branch."
On this side of the Atlantic, (ho
highest minds of the clergy hive
sought a remedy. The Methodist Fds
copal church, at Its last general con
ference, recognizing a united effort
on the pa-t of the Protestant churches
of the United States "to rouse the
religions and moral sentiment of the
land In defense of the purity nnd
stability of the marriage relation,"
appointed representatives to the In-er-church
conference, and urged upon
tta ministers the strict enforcement
of the law of the church forbidding
the re-marriage of all divorced per
sons. Tho law makes an exception
In tho case of the Innocent party In
ft divorce obtained for infidelity.
The general assembly of the Pres
byterian Church North enjoined ull
the ministers of the church to re
fuse to perform marriages 1n the
cases of divorced persons, except
those divorced for causes allowed by
the standards of the church.
At the general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church a canon
doing away with all divorce was In
troduced In the House of Deputies.
Although this failed of passage,
provision was made that It would he
within the discretion of any minister
to decline to celebrate the marriage
of divorced persons. In this way
those ministers who have conscien
tious objections to the re marriage of
all divorced persons are left free to
decline to officiate at such marriages.
Tho National league for the Pro
tection of the Family, nn association
with such men as Nathaniel Ship
mnn, Plshon Lawrence of Massachus
etts, Roth Low, ond President (Joorpn
Harris of Amherst at its head, has al
o been very active In Its efforts to ob
tain uniform divorce legislation for
the whole of the United States. Prac
tically every clergyman of note In this
city has assailed the evil from his
nulplt, but the sore spreads, and rad
ical measures are needed In order to
check Its progress.
In one unbroken nocturnal flight
the European bird known us the north
ern bluethroat has been known to
travel from Central Africa to the Ger
man Ocean, a distance of 1,000 miles,
making the Journey In nine hours.

CHINA AWAKENING.
8lgns of Impending Activity in Her
Vast Population.
Out of over eleven hundred new
works In Chinese that have been Is
sued up to date by native publishing
houses, one hundred and twenty, or
more than 10 per cent, are on tho art
of war. Those on other subjects
wholly foreign to Confucianism and
Chinese methods in the past are num
erous, such as works on education,
political economy, government, law,
and the mutual relations of nations.
To these and collateral subjects no
fewer than three hundred and sixty
publications are devoted, while a hun
dred and thirty take up the subjects
of mathematics and mechanics.
Some thirty have been published on
tho science of agriculture, and twice
as many on electricity, chemistry,
and science generally; some forty
on philosophy and seventy on hy
giene. Works on literature, lan
guages, astronomy and higher sub
jects go to complete the list of books
with which the native publishing
houses at Shanghai and elsewhere are
described by a correspondent as lit
erally flooding the country.
In connection with this subject It
may also be mentioned that whereas
a few years ago there were only Bev
en newspapers in all China, there are
now 157 dallies, weeklies and month
lies discussing public questions and
publishing news of the outside world.
It 1b even said that there Is probably
hardly a Chinese family of any con
sequence In any of the treaty ports
or Pekln that does not take in one or
more native papers. What this signi
fies can only be understood when It Is
remembered that less than fifty years
ago no one in China, except the
Mandarins, whose business was pol
itics and money making took the
slightest Interest In public af
fairs. A good deal of this
progressive movement is undoubted
edly due to Japanese influence,
but much more, as is now being seen,
to Chinese Initiative, forced on by
Western pressure and aggression.
The virtual director of the Chinese
Board of Commerce during the past
year was Its Japanese adviser, and
Japanese explorers have visited all
the outlying provinces of the empire
from the frontier of Siberia to Tibet,
and as far west as Kashgar. They
have been active In studying the re
sources of this Immense territory,
Into which Chinese are pressing
steadily from the overpopulated prov
inces of Western China, displacing
the nomads and occupying the soil;
and one Japanese traveller has mr.de
a complete report on the Central
Asian trade routes after an explora
tion extending over two years.
An English writer, reviewing the
situation generally, says that the
mental attitude of China today Is ono
of critical Importance. Its people In
thought are breaking away from their
old moorings, whether to cut out a
path for themselves or to fall under
the Influence of others cannot yet be
determined, hut the tendency Is dis
tinctly toward the Japanese In quar
ters whore foreign influence is wel
comed. The P,rltlsh opium v.".rs find

nnd the latest reports r""M el ti
China from the South AfH?in n.-ll

working there, are described as hav
ing almost completely allenctcrt tho
CHnosc from European Influences.
As the London Spectator has been
forced to sav. "There never was a civ
ilized people who have suffered r.uch
a series of appalling insults as China."
litre, then, is an opportunity for
American statesmanship that if al
lowed 10 pass may never dg recov- i
ered. It Is one transcending almost !
every other question connected with
our foreign relations, for a sympa
thetic attitude on our part toward
China at a moment when It Is under
going a transformation amounting al
most to a new birth, can win for us
all and more than aggression ana
cannon have lost to Europe. A recent

THE COLUMBIAN,

Brilliant and Untenable Notions
About This Condition.
MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE
Some Doctors Claim Left-handedness
Transmitted From Mother Car
rying Child on Left Arm and De
veloping Left Side at Expense of
the Right.
More guesswork scientific, quasi
scientific, unscientific and anti-scientific
has been applied to the solu
tion of this question of right and
left handedness than to any other
physiological subject probably, and
the mystery still remains unsolved.
One thing, however, is certain, that
there was never a race of men or
women which was completely umbl
dextrous, or both-handed, nor any
which was not predominantly right
handed, nor any in which a consider
able proportion were not 'eft-handed.
Indians on the plains, Esk.mos in the
Arctic snows, negroes in the African
jungle, Chinese, Hindus, black Aus
tralians, are right and left handed
but always the right-handed have the
majority.
It is also certain that the seat of
right and left handedness is In the
brain, and that right-handed people
have a special development, to cover
the characteristic, in the left lobe of
the brain, and left-handed people a
special development in the right lobe
of the brain.
Charles Reade, the great English
novelist, wrote volumes to try to
prove that people make their children
right-handed by forcing them to han
dle the spoon, the knife and other
articles with the right hand. His
theory was that, unless the child
were so guided, It would use either
hand Indifferently, and grow up both
handed; that all people, In fact, were
Intended by nature to be both-handed,
and that either right or left
handedness Is a perversion. But It Is
doubtful if Reade ever convinced any
one who has observed the persistent
determination of any child to give
preference either to one hand or the
other.
Charles Reade's theory, by the way,
took no account of the fact that peo
ple are right-handed and left-handed.
It would be absurd to suppose that a
natural equality of force and supple
ness between the legs could be de
stroyed by making a child hold a
spoon In its right hand.
A child, or a grown person, may be
made, by training and practice, quite
ambidextrous, but no person can bo
cured of the feeling of right-handedness
or left-handedness as the case
may be. Though we may not think
of It, men are never entirely freo
from the positive sensation of a phys
ical superiority on one side of the
body above the other. Rlg'it or Wi
handedness Is Ingrained In ths con
sciousness. This last-mentioned fact destroys
another pretty notion, that the right
hand of one right-handed person may
bo the same thing as tho left hr.nd
of another; that Is to say, that tho
whole human outfit of hands, so to
speak, is graded up from a minimum
to a maximum of dexterous capa
bility, often modified by usage; that
a "handy" person, for instance, may
have two right hands, and a clumsy
and unskillful person may merely
possess two left hands.
The first left-handed man of whom I
can recall any account In literature
was Ehud the Benjamlte, who made
use of his peculiarity to enable him
to assassinate King Eglon of Moab
with that hand while he was pretend
ing to give the tyrant a present from
the Israelites with the right. As In
this deed the left-handed man was
carrying out an edict of the Lord,
the first Scriptural mention of left
handedness is associated with an hon
orable distinction. But the opposite
association of superior honor attach
ed to the right hand goes back fur
ther than that. The Almighty Is
continually made right-handed in the
Bible, from Exodus xv. 0 down.
It Is a curious fact, too, that the
Hebrews used the right hand to de
note the south, from which quarter
the power of the sun comes; "jamin,"
the right hand, being the south, and
"shemol," the left hand, the nega
tive and unenerglzed north.
But all these expressions are from
the point of view of right-handed peo
ple. If there were such a thing as
left-handed people, all tho expressions
would be the other way. L. E. W.
Proportion of Births and Deaths.
M. Jacques Uertiilon has recently
developed tho law of the parallelism
of the movement of population, ac
cording to which the birth rate uivl
the death rate are equally proportion
ed In the same country. Thus birth;i
and deaths are high and low in tho
same country in the same proportion.
According to statistics furnished for
the whole of Europe this law may be
verified to tho letter. Thus In the ten
countries In which the mortality In
lower than 20 per 1,000 inhabitants
there are only one or two In which
the birth rate Is higher than 30 per
1,000. In the countries in which the
mortality exceeds 20 the birth rate
always exceeds 30, and Is not lower
than 35 in any other countries except'
In Baden, Wurtemberg, and Italr.

TREES WIRELE8S ANTENNAE
Continuance of Major Squler's Experi
ments Will Likely Be of Value.
A correspondent of the Electrical
World and Engineer, writing on tho
recent experiments by Major G. O.
Squler, U. S. A., In using trees for
wIivIobb telegraph antennae, beam
out the theory and practice of Major
Squler, saying that some experiments
be has mnde show that a treo can
be made to give excellent results. He
says, further, that he cannot report
upon the use of a trea as a transmit
ting station . "1 started first," he
says, "with the Intention of using a
treo to elevate a wire that should
be well Insulated. As an alternative
measure It seemed that an Insulated
wire resting on tho treetop would nt
least give some results as a receiver,
since the Incoming Impulses would not
be of high potential. Copper double
coated paraffin-insulated bell wire was
first used, nnd four wires were carried
over the treetop In different directions
and both ends of each wire were con
nected to a wire loading to suitable
receiving apparatus, 100 feet away.
The result was that on one occasion,
with favorable conditions, a distant
station, presumably New York, was so
distinctly heard that an expert could
have readily read the message. At
one time both the New Haven Dc
Forest station and the distant station
were pending at the same time. The
sound of the distant station was not
completely overpowered. The New
Haven station (three miles off) stop
ped, nnd then the distant station con
tinued sounding and came out clear
ly. "As It will probably be of general
interest to know that a station elgthv
miles away has been heard by using
an elm tree two feet In diameter -nd
sixty or seventy feet high as an anien
nea, the ground for belief that the
distant station was New York will,
therefore, be stated. A day or two be
fore the time alluded to, the New
Haven station announced that after
some time spent In tuning they had
succeeded In calling up New York,
and a few days later a number of
messages were exchanged bef-een
the stations, which were published
and the statement was added tat
New York was the only station avail
able at present from the New Ha"en
station.
"It was now suspected that the cov
er on the wire was practically a poor
Insulator, and that therefore the suc
cess did not depend upon the insula
tion. Later two large trees have
been tried with bare galvanized wire,
used In the same way. as was the In
sulated wire on the first tree. The
result Indicates that the bare wire
works fully as well, If not better, than
the Insulated wire, as far as receiving
In concerned. We have now arrived
at what appears to be an extension
of the reported method of Major
Squler. .The connection is made with
tho top of the treo instead of the up
per part of the trunk, and Instead of
a ground at the bottom of the tree,
another Is provided at a distance. A
tin roof was used at times.
"One more point will be mentioned,
as it has a bearing on tho ubo of
trees as antennae. One large maple
tree some GOO foot away gave good
results over an Iron telephone wire
utilized for this connection. The dis
tant call mentioned came out clearly
on this wire. This opens up tho
possibility of combining the effect of
a large number of Isolated trees, each
tuued by itself and all connected to
one receiver, to Increase the effect.
I will mention that this distant tree
gave strong effects with little regard
to tuning when tested on the nearer
New Haven station, while the nearer
treo responded with more readiness
to change In the tuning apparatus.
"Although trees may not bo able to
displace artificial antennae for the
best long-distance work, it may turn
out that the wide-spreading, many
branched top of a tree will furnish a
model for the artificial antennae and
guy wires, with additional attachment
to contribute to the result. Tho 'act
that trees can be so readily prepared
for use as antennae will douhMess
greatly popularize the use of wlre'sss
telegraphy. Iron Wire answers a
good purpose at a considerable sav
ing of expense. Wires can be pulled
over a tree by a cord which has been
drawn up by a thread. The thread
Ib first thrown over attached to a
weight which is projected by a rub
ber sling."

One grest secret of youth and beauty for
the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys
tem and well-being. Every woman, young
or old. should know htrself and her phys
ical make-up. A good way to arrive at this
knowledge is to get a good doctor book,
such for instance aa "The People's Common

M. D., which can readily be procured by
sending twenty -one cents fn one -cent
stamps for paper-bound volume, or thirty
one cents lor cloth-bound copy, and ad

female troubles, diseases in their worst forms.
I suffered for yesr with ulceration, intense
pains and a dreadful backache, which unfilled
me for my work. Finally I grew so ill hnd to

I wss well. Only those who have psssed
through such a siege of siekness as I have will
understand how muck I value Dr. Pierce's Fa

Dr. Pierce Offers $500 reward for any case
of Laueorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap
sus, r Falling of Woanb which he cannot
cure. All he aska la a fair and reasonable
trial of hie means of cure. No substitute
for "Favorite Prescription " offers so much.

the less valuable varieties were
not picked. These apples lay on
the ground well covered with snow
duiiug the winter, and were thus

In the current number of LiJfin
cod's Magazine the opening novel
ette, by Klla Middleton Tybout, is
placed in the little State of Dela
ware. So completely charming is
"The Turn of the Tide" that it
seems likely to be the forerunner of
considerable "Blue Hen State" fic
tion. "Braebum Bonnie," a long short
story ot a dog-show, is by Ralph
Henry Barbour. This is one of the
cleverest stories of its kind to appear
in any magazine. General Charles
King contributes one of the kind of
stories of fort life in the West which
appeals so generally to all sorts and
conditions of young people. "A
Lass ol the Laramie begins at a
dance and ends with the excitine
rescue of a soldier by his sweet
heart. The tale called "Hurt in
the Spirit" is by Elizabeth Cherry
Waltz. "The Derelict of Silver
Saddle," a story of the plains, by
urace Aiclviroy Iurs. presents a
dramatic situation most human and
pathetic. Owen Oliver writes of
"The Man Who Was Faithful."
The two papers of the month are
diverse in subject and both inter
esting: "Where Poets I,ived and
Loved," by Annie Hollingsworth,
Coleridge, and others; and Dr.
Charles C. Abbott contributes an
article called "Nonsense Names in
Natural History."
