Well, Brother Shaw seems to be a sufferer along with the rest, and he doesn’t seem to want relief, either. ON BRINGING DIVORCE WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL, INCE the President has entered the lists for a national divorce law we may look for something to be accomplished. The considerations in favor of uniformity in the laws governing the collapse of the marriage state having been so fully discussed in their relation to the welfare of the mar- ried, it remains for us to point out one further advantage on the side of those wishing to escape from matrimony. A uniform divorce law would cause a very material reduction in traveling expenses for those in search of the return route to single blessedness. Consider the case of a married man or woman in New York who longs for liberty. A ticket to South Dakota costs money. A six-months’ board-bill in a western separation resort adds to the expense. Then there is the absence from home and business. The result is that divorce is placed entirely be- yond the reach of ordinary people. How can a man earning sixteen dollars a week afford the luxury of a separation under these conditions? And how can he supply his wife with the wherewithal of a matrimonial exodus? With a uniform divorce law this would be changed. A separation could be obtained at home. The mismated could stay among friends and go on about their reg- ular work, and the family lawyer, and not the stranger, would conduct the negotiations. Then a divorce obtained at home would have as much fash- jonable tone and distinction as one got at great expense thousands of miles away. A [sN’t it getting to be a long while between messages?

A RESTFUL, UP-TO-DATE WALL-PAPER. CIENCE, ever restlessly seeking for the reason of things, has come forward with a discovery that will prove a boon to mankind. For a long time it has been known that the nerves of the people were breaking down, but nobody could tell why. Now come the scientists, who explain to us that the trouble is in the paper we put on our walls. Any one who has ever been sick will recall how his brain was teased and fretted and worried by the de- signs on the wallpaper of his room. It remained for the neurologists, and Dr. Weir Mitchell especially, to elaborate this trite observation into a scientific theorem. A reform in wall-papers must come at once if we are to remain a sane and healthy- nerved people. Wall-papers should be simple in design, restful in tone, and such as will give to the mind a happy uplift. We suggest herewith a wall-paper design. What a sick man needs is repose of mind, the feeling that when he recovers, if he ever does, and the doctor presents his bill, he will not suffer a relapse or fall dead. We should surround ourselves with an atmosphere of wealth. Let us think money thoughts—grow to feel at home in the presence of a twenty-dollar bill. Thus we will recover our nerve. So BONI has got to face that $400,000 of debts alone. miss his loving helpmeet!

MODERN YOUTH GETTING STERN TOWARD PARENTS. JHE OLD ADAG Parents, obey your children,” has had signal em- phasis of late. The modern parent sometimes forgets his subject state and undertakes to lord it over his offspring; and in several cases which have come to our notice of late he has regretted it by the mile afterward. A Long Island farmer undertook to whale his youngster for truancy and for neglecting his studies at school. He felt that a husky young man of sixteen should be acquiring knowledge, so that the home folks could notice it. The youngster stood the parental scolding for a while, but when the scolding changed to the monitory cudgel he drew a revolver on the old gentleman and shot him through the cheek. A Philadelphia girl took umbrage at the conduct of her sire and placed sev- eral cartridges just underneath the scalp where a surgeon could get at them without mych trouble. The rise to sovereignty of the American youth is one of the most marked features of the times. But itis a pity if this sovereignty is to take the form of violence, and hard-working parents are to be cowed and subdued and . driven into the corner and held in terror by their offspring.
