Christ by asking his Judgment on the Mosaic law of divorcement, and received an answer direct and fundamental. It has been a serious, a continuous, a vexatious question from time immemorial, says Newark News. All governments, clerlca and civil, have tried to settle It and have failed. Dur own government and each of the states and all the courts have for many years been trying to establish nniform divoice laws, and to discourage divorces, as much as possible.

The worthy druggist was troubled with a lame back and had his wife apply the plaster. - The lady did not notice a $50 bill which her husband had placed on a dresser In their room, and the note was sticking to the plaster when the latter was put where It might do the most good.
