Three Hundred Thousand Conplo Separated in Twenty Years. At a special meeting of the Min isterial Union of Baltimore, Mon day, Itev. Samuel "W. Dike, of Aubnrndale, Mass., a secretary of the National Divorce Refoini League, delivered an address on :Marriage and Divorce in the United States." He said: "Eight or ten States have made improvements in their laws, the measures adopted in most cases having been simple, such as the restriction of the marriage of the parties, or, as iu Vermont, the requiring of all libels to be filed six months before trial. The results of these improvements have been a re duction in divorces of from 15 to 20 per cent. "A uniform divorce law is as necessary as a uniform marriage law, a constitutional amendment being needed in this connection. State's rights are urged as an ob jection by some to national legisla tion on this subject, and again the difficulties of having this matter in the United States courts rather than in the State courts. As the law now is, a man may have three or four different relations, lie may be a big amist in one State, a divorced ma'i in another and legally married in a third. "An -appropriation of 810,000 was made by Congress in March, 1887, to the bureau of labor for the purpose of collecting statistic relating to marriage and 'divorce. The investi gation will embody such points as you can got from the libels in the courts, the number of divorces, the year divorced, the number of children and where the jarties were married, the last item being for the purpose of throwing light on th point of migration from State to State to procure divorces. Tha in vestigations have not been tabulated, but I think that in the last twenty years there have been 300,000 di vorces, the number being 2, 3 or 5 per cent of the marriages. In In diana the divorces have been 5 or G per cent, of the marria.e-, and in California, the worst State of all, thre is one divorce to everv i 7-10 licenses issued. More divorces are granted in one year in the United States than in all Europe, with four or five times the population." A Mftd.

The utmost enthusiasm which could be raised was a concerted but still 4 feeble veil from seven excited w hole sale firms and a dozen and a half hysterical retailers. The remaindei' of this community seems to be satis fied to let the choice of a chief mag istrate drift along in the old quad rennial stle. The powerful combination of hat ters is certainly against an extension of the President i:il term. As tilings now stand, the citizen who has tlu good of hi country at heart either wins or looses more hats than would cover Hydra.

Four years of Mr. -Blaine, had his wheels of success been properly oiled, would have been an abundance. Four years of many another good man may be all that the yearning country really hungers for.

Among the many inventions, usefnl and otherwise, recently made to aid in educational work, there is one which de serves a . more extended, use than is accorded it at present, that is the Heading Chart, The advantages of the Chart are numerous. Very fre quently in the country schools little pupils come without any books, either because the pa rents are unable to buy the necessary books, or do not know what to get. In either case the Chart comes in con veniently ; if they are not able to buy books, it can be used for several months ; if the latter case be true, the teacher can use it until the books are obtained, and the time varies from a few days to two weeks. If it is desired to have the littje pupils recite in conceit which is some times i good plan, as those who know little can catch something from those who are brighter or know more the Chart can be used more con veniently than books. It is usually printed in large let ters, so that'it may be readily seen by the whole class. This is especially advantageous in those which have writing les sons. The advantages of the Chart are especially notice able onlv with very small pu pils those who have had lit tle or no previous instruction.
