"The subject of divoror'a invested
with a painful iuterest in our time
and country. There are more
divorces legally granted in the
United States tart in arty other
Christian country—more, perhaps,
than in all other Christian countries
combined. In the space of twenty
years, according to official statistics
from 1867 to 1886 inclusive, 36Q,-
000 divorces were granted in the
United States—that is to say, two-
thirds of a million people were
legally seperated during that time.
The number of divorces has steadily
increased since that time and be.
yond all proportion to the general
increase of population. Divorces
are ranted o

PAItNELL 15 HIS SPEECHES

They had won a hundred skirmishes

Already they had put a snaffle in
the mouth of the landlords. Bye

Mr, Parnell then reviewed the
struggle in Parliament and r't•fe,red
to the secret system pursued in the
House of Commons to sap end un-
dermine the independence of his
colleagues. Although they were
only 30 against 600, his supporters
had had the honest and courage to
beat their opponents. They had
driven the seceders front the com-
mittee -room, and they would drive
theta out of Ireland before long,
and out of the House of Commons,

foiled the weakness, treachery, and
cowardice of the seceders by resist-

they had given tine to everything

truth and to rally to their support.
He had never feared the result. If
he had not a colleague left in the
committee room he would still haye
to come back to the Irish people
to get their verdict. [Prolonged
cheers.]
In conclusion he expressed the
hope that his opponents would take

MAN IN THE MOON.
ODD SUPERSTITIONS OF ODD PEOPLE
ABOUT THE STRANGE OLD MYTH.
The myth about the "wan in the
moon" is of great antiquity ; how
old we know not. Probably it
dates back far beyond the time of
Mower, , for many ancient stories
tell of the man who was punished
by death for gathering sticks on the
Sabbath (Numbers xv., 32-36) ;
and although no allusion was made
in the Bible record to the moon, yet
it was generally supposed Chet the
unfortgnate Sabbath -breaker was
sent there and compelled to stay in
the moon forever thereafter. A
well-known German legend tails
about this man, and affirms that he
was caught up by the moon, fagots
end all, and stands there to this
day. •
Another tole told in Suabia re-
lates to A manakin who stole wood,
and is still to be seen in the moon.
A Dutch household myth accused
the man in the moon of stealing
cabbages on Christmas eve ; the
neighbors caught Dina just as he was
walking off with rt good supply, and
they "wished" bi(n up in the moon.
He' stands there to this day bears
leg his incl of cabbages. it is said
that he turns round once every
Christmb
a3 eve, but astronomy loch
not support the theory. In Sylt
the man in the woou watt a sheep
stealer, and it was his custom to
entice the sheep with a bundle of
cabbages, Sad to relate, he was also
placed in the )noon as an everlasting
warning to other sheep -stealers.
I u Schaumburg, Lippe, a wan

the )nan because he 'prevented
people from going to church on
Sunday by strewing brambles and
thorn -bushes in their way, sod the
wuuteu because she churned butter

Northern mythology tells about a
giant who inbabits the moon anis is
suppose() to cause the ebb and flow
of the tide. When he stoops the
waves cover the shores, and when
he stands erect they recede again.
This resembles the Scandinavian
myth about Bil and H juki, w Inn
were taken up to heaven by 'Marie.
They were on their way to the
well of Byrgir, bearing on their
shoulders the bucket Sueg and pole

In China the old man in the moon
is known as Yue-lao, and holds the
reuse of marriage among mortals ill

wife are tied together by an invisible
silken cord, which is only Revered

A Slavonic legend Nap that the
croon, king of night and husband of
the sun, fell in love with the worn-
ing star, wherefore he was cloven
in puttisitntent as we see him iu rite
sky to this day.
A Russian myth is told about a
ratan who sought for the isle itt which
there was no death. He took up his
abode in the moon, but after a hun-
dred years or so had elapsed death
came after him. A furious struggle
ensued,and the moon proving victor-
ious the man was carried up to the
sky and now shines "as a star near

There was a shrill whistle to the west, and
the Lain from Marseilles crone rushing in.
I walked clown the long train, opened the
door of a compartment that was empty, and
took my seat, When the train started there
was a shout of warming from the guard, and
before I could look out to see> what the matter
was, the door was flung open and one of the
'ringing young teen tumbled in. The guard
slammed the door shut with a malediction on
the man who broke the rules and nearly
broke his neck. The young fellow picked
himself ftp, lifted his hat and said:
"Pa•donuy moi mouseu—"
"Oh, that's all right," I answered, "don't

"No, shin belonged to the old Prince family

branch of the family, more so than of the
Johnson side. His name is J. Prince John -
ton. We used to call him* Prince at college.
He likes that, and that's why we call him
Johnson now,"
"I noticed you raft in the name Johnson
pretty often."
"Of course we did. Whenever ho tries to

I threw the pamphlet over to him.

By the way, whore are you going*"
"I'm going to Cannes."
"We're going to Bt. Raphael. That's this
side. Better stop off with us and see the fun,
Et will be worth while." seeess
"If it's worth while I'll stop. Tell me
what it is, first."
"You wait till I write a telegram."
After a few moments he handed Inc tele-
gram, of which this in a translation:

"I think I see the pieta. Yeu are go lug
prepare a princely reception for Johnson."
"Exactly. He is molly a quiet, unasstm
Mg fellow and hates anything like a f
even if he does put on airs now and the
Hell be the most surprised than you ev
saw."
,
" I thluk I can tell you someone else wh
would be more surprised."
"Yost Who?"
"The fellow who has to pay the hotel bill
He laughs best who makes out the bill. Yo
will get the carriages and perhaps the esco
and certainly the best rooms in the house
but when the bill comes in it will paraly
you. I know how they charge for that sot'
of horror. I aux a duke myself."
"The devil you are! Why, I thought you
were an American,"
" But I never travel under my title. I
can't afford it. A duke is all right at home,
but on the continent I travel as Mr. Welcome
Smith."
" Well, nevertheless, I think we will sur-
prise the hotel -keeper as much as we will
surprise Johnson."
" You might do it nearer the frontier, but
I doubt if you will be able to evade payment
here."
At this point in the conversation the train
stepped and Brown got out to send off his
telegram. When he came back into the train
he began writing another.
" Are you going to send more than one dis -
patcha"
"Lord, yes! I'm going to fire a telegram
from every place we stop at. 1'rn gniug to
work up St. Raphael. They'll be getting re-
turns from the back countries most of the
day: That's an American phrase, you
know."
"Oh, is it?"
And so the telegrams went from every
stopping place until are reached St. Ra-
phael.
It was evident the moment wo stopped
that there was an unusual commotion in the
little llle literru
naso town. Tho platform
was studded with officials in gorgeous uni-
form. As soon 'as Johnson got out of the
train wo all ranged ourselves behind hint

and then turned to us.
"('ont, boys," he said, "let's get out of this
as quickly as we can."
The hotel proprietor walked by hi; side,
bowing all the way. When we reached the
otttside Johnson was aghast. Instead of
getting out of it he had just got into it. At

anguish, as be drew his hand acrns�; his

"Better get into the carriage and get this
over es soon as possible," said Brown. "You
get in with hits, duke. I guess the boss in
the gold lace is going, too,"
We three members of the nobility got Into
the first carriage. Johnson turned to me.
"Aro you a duke 1" he asked. "If you are,

"Then Brown's put up this job nn ane. If

into Switzerland and then drop him gently
over a two-mile precipice; see if I don't.
Still if he lighted on his cheek it wouldn't
hurt him. Brown's a villain."
All the officials of the hotel were ranged
out in two rows to receive us and the people
all along the route cheered.
Well, we spent a very nice titne in St. Ra-
phael. But, just as I said, when the bill was
called for, it was a corker, Even Brown
turned a shade paler when he saw the ap-
palling total.
"Don't you charge for the brass baud and
the escort!"
"It is all inclusive," said the proprietor,
with a low bow,

"They assured su ed us in London that they

can't give us any better than that, can
you 1"
Thu proprietor was wild, but finally the
matter was compromised 'on what the boys
consideree: a square basis, which was much
less than the original bill.
When we were all in the railway carriage
bound for Cannes Johnson said; "Brown,
this thing has been more successful than you
deserve. I'm willing to let by-gones be by-
gones; but there is one thing that you will all
have to promise ane on your word of honor,
and that is that you will not let this get into
the newspapers at home,"
The boys all gave the desired promise that
the affair would be a dead secret. Johnson
said to ate:
"You have no idea what ferreting villains
American newspaper men are. If they get
a hint of n thing, the first you know they
know all about it. I think wo will be lucky
if we keep this from them."

Beds of All Nations.
In the tropics men sleep in hammocks or
upon mots of grass. The East Indian unrolls
his light portable eharpoy or mattress, which
in the morning is again rolled together and
carried away by him,
The Japanese lie upon matting with astiff
uncomfortable wooden neck rest.
The Chinese use low bedsteads, often elab-
orately carved, and supporting only mats or
coverlids.
As peculiarity of the German bed is its
shortness; besides that, it frequently consists
in sort of a large down pillow or upper mat-
tress, which spreads over tho person and usu-
ally answers the purpose of all other bed -
clothing combined.
The anrient Greek or Romans had their
bed supported on frames. but not flat like
ours.
The Egyptians had a conch of a p0001181
shape, more± like an old-fashioned e-1 easy chair
with hollow back and seat.
