1 peofljC IB RIG ATI ON IN OLDEN KEXICO. By President Diaz. With a view of benefiting properties' (hat are susceptible of Irrigation, the National Geographical Exploration Company made a survey of the Santlagullo lake, in the valley of the Guatiniape river, of which the waters ran be diverted to the rich Nazas region, and made reconnolsances of the Tunal, Conchos and other rivers looking to ths use of their waters for the encouragement of agriculture by Irrigation. Increased interest is constantly being manifested In the utilization of water courses subject to federal jurisdiction, stimulated during the last six months by the ample resources which the important financial Institution known as the Rink for Loans to Irrigation Worki and for the Encouragement of Agri culture has been able to furnish to our agriculturists and by the sums assigned out of the treasury reserves for the promotion of Irrigation works wherever they are possible. As a consequence of these new facilities concessions have been granted, such as that to the San Diego River Company, the Sautena Company and the Chapala Com pany and others with subsidies, which It Is hoped will accelerate the progress of our agriculture and make It the basis of our national wealth. In the first half of t'ue current fiscal year 142 applications were received for the utilization In different ways of federal water courses. GROWTH OF THE DIVORCE EVIL. By Edward Alsworlh Ross. Twenty years ago an investigation by the Department of Labor showed that 328,716 di vorcer had been granted In the United States between 18f7 and 1886, and that divorces were Increasing two and one-half times as fast as population. The recent census for 1S87-100G brings to light 915,623 divorces, and demonstrates that the movement constantly gains In velocity. At present one marriage in ten is broken, and in some States the proportion may be as high as one in four. Forty years ago the broad con trast was between North and South; but the divorce rates of North and South have been converging, where as those of East and West have diverged. The Central States have two and one-half times the rate of the At lantic States, while for the Western States the propor tion is throe and one-halt. Although the tide of divorce is rising the world over, nowhere is it so high, nowhere is it rising so fast, as In the United States. Our rate Is twice that of Switzer land, thrice that of France and Ave times that of Ger many. The census fipures dissipate many false Impressions. It Is often assumed that many couples separate precipi tately before they have given marriage a fair trial; but the average interval before separation exceeds six and one-half years, and Is not diminishing. Since more than half the couples lived together above four years, while in the majority of cases the duration of marriage ex reeded seven years, It would be rash to surmise that peo ple are forming risky and unstable unions In full view of their easy dissolution. Nor Is divorce usually sought In order to remarry. In Connecticut, during a period of years, the number of divorced persons married was about 40 per rent of the number divorced In the same time. In Rhode Island, from 1SS9 to 1S96. the proportion was only 28 per cent. Remarriage Is one of those cases in which, as Dr. Johnson put It, "hope triumphs over experience," and It is not at all certain that the rate for divorced persons much exceeds that for widows and widowers of the same age. Certainly the restrictions that many States are Impeding on remarriage do not seem to af fect appreciably the divorce rate. The Century. MODERN DRAMA REELECTS LIFE. By Prof. Archibald Henderson. The drnmu typical of our day is bourgeois in character, dealing with the thoughts and passions, the loves und hates, the comedies and tragedies of the sort of people we meet every day on the street. They are people with like passions us ourselves, nnd the in cident of their lives are constantly being re produced around us In real life. The Inlluence of the first truly realistic nov els, dealing with the affairs of people quite common place In every respect, save that of human intercut or moral passion, was gradually felt In the sphere of tlu drama. The pedestrian realism nnd middle-class pre occupations of Richardson, of Fielding, of Roussenu, set up a moveim nt In llction whlcli first met acceptance in the drama at the hands of Diderot, nnd found fur ther and higher development through the Instrumentali ty of Dumas lils. Angler, Ibsen, Itjornscii and the mod ern school of playwrights. The anecdotes and adventures which constitute the material of the earlier drama have lost their hold upon the modem world because they no longer furnish us that thrill of immediate actuality, that vital interest of contemporaneous circumstance, which live only In the atmosphere of to-day. North American Review. 1 t X IN LIEU OF ICE CREAM. However men may talk of rising su perior to the pleasures of the palate, the desire of the Individual on short commons for something good to eat with intrude itself In even the gravest situations. That in time of battle one's thought may be occupied, not so much with dread of the bullet as the wistful recollections of a generous and tempting bill of fare,. Is shown by Frederick Palmer's experience, told in "With Kurokl in Manchuria." Mr. Palmer and a fellow war correspond ent had spent the night sleeping on th stalks of a corn-field. When we awoke, the flashes of the Russian guns were playing. Drowsily we rolled out of our blankets with the comprehension that the artillery fire was going on, as If had yesterday, and that we were hungry and tbere was no breakfast In sight. Probably the artillery fire would go on forever: probably there were no soft beds and no square meals anywhere in the world. As we dressed, Collins broke in with: "What I should like would be, first, some grapes, all dewy, oft the ice, then " but I would not allow him to go any further. We had a little rice and some cof fee. He boiled the rice and I made the coffee, and I assure you we did not overtax our stomachs. "And after I had topped off with ice cream," said Collins, reminiscent ly, "I think I'd go to sleep with or ders not to wake me ever." We had something that tasted as good as ice cream to the diner-out in town. A spring bubbled out of the plowed earih, bubbled carelessly, cool ly, from a filter of candy loam, laugh ins typhoid to scorn. When 1 looked at it 1 remember wondering how such cool water could coma out of a corn field on such a hot clay, If a linen cloth, and spotless nap kins, and Collins' Idea of a breakfast hail been realized, I could not have felt much happier than I was to have my turn at this fountain of joy. You felt each swallow trickle down until you were full to the throat. BRITISH CABINET OFFICER NOW IN THE PUBLIC EYE. 4t a Si 1 ) , ; if Us i u; ID U.oWj ii:ni:ci;.

Friend 'UHlinut Kaiii-atlilure, "Dear Miss Kalliarne," said the childish, uneven writing, "the mlshun school has sent me a Kaster lily and it is in the window where I can see It and I love it. I could not send you any, but please I want to tell you that I thought you a flower the butlllest white one you ever had.. I thought It to you before any one was awake this morning.

Oh, for a Iwx of sil ver dollars kept sacred for flower-giving! There would bo poetry in that. And now, from a little Iron bid in a charity hospital, a child who bad been psrhapj threo times in htr mis-slon-achool class had scut her tliis blos som "the buti!!.it white ot:e you ever had."

Of all the thousands of ways Id which the telephone contributes to the needs and luxuries of mankind, the most remarkable one so far recorded is Its use as an auxiliary in hunting coyotes. Leroy Moreland, says the Grldley (Colo.) Herald, of Grldley Colony No. 3 raw a coyote sneaking up toward his chicken inclosure. Ho procured his rifle and shot at the animal, break ing ids leg. The coyote Is fairly nim ble In u get-away with only three legs und this one was making good prog ress out of the country, when Mr. Moreland went to his house and tele phoned Hurry Turner to pick up the "varmint," as It was going his way. Mr. Turner had but one shell for his shotgun and ho used it without ef fect, lie then telephoned to W. L. Hurkcy that the unimal was bouud his way and for him to get him. Mr. Har key shot the coyote and killed it The animal had evidently been drlf eu out of the river bottom covers by (be high water und was forced to for aging in the open.

ARMY FOR NAME AND CAR EXE. 1.11 of umr of "Kluhllni Farala lln" Whmtlil I'lovr a Rtlmnlnnt. That a young society man of Phila delphia has enlisted In tho regular cavalry with a view to making a ca reer Is a matter of current news, la England It would be a matter of course, says the New York World. Th army does not with us, ns with our British cousins, offer for the sons of the rich opportunities classing with those of politics and the church. The Spanish war. It is true, brought a number of cotillon leaders Into uni form, and they acquitted themselves well; but It wns tho emergency that called, not the custom. In our service the only aristocracy is that of military rank. Theoretical ly, the way to the top Is open to any enlisted mail. West Point supplies of ficers direct, but not enough of them, If the young Philadclphlan persists he may go far. Already he is a corporal and has done wonders In promotion of regimental polo. One thing the American army can furnish, if younger sons ever begin in force to look to it for careers, is an inspiring list of names of "fighting families." The Porters, from whom have coins a commodore and an admiral, have had military as well as naval solons. They began to fight In the Revolution and have continued through all the later wars. The Greenes, with Gen eral Nathanal among the first In line, have run also, almost continuously, through our land and sea services, having furnished since the Revolution nine officers of the name to the army and seven to the navy. The Mercers, going back to Hugh, who fought foi Prince Chnrlie before comlng.to Amer ica, are an army family dating from the colonies. The Lees of Virginia, the Caprons from Rhode Island, the Muhlenbergs, the Meades, Biddies, Pat tersons, and many more continue tYit older list. From Civil War days begin the lines of the Grants, Sheridans and others. SHORT METER SERMONS. tiacrcd Truths.

Philadelphia Telegraph. THE CABINET A TRAINING SCHOOL. NE of the peculiar powers of the presiden tial office under our system comes in the number of great careers in the public life of the nation which Its occupant may make. It Is not uncommon for men appointed to the cabinet from private life, as Mr. Knox wbs chosen by Mr. McKlnley, to be after ward elected by their own States to some Important of fice, notably to the Senate. The Cabinet has indeed been a great training school for the body, the drift from Cabinet to the Capitol being mu"h larger than in the other direction. Men who are now willing to exchange a place In the Sennte for the Cabinet are exceedingly rare, nnd in doing it they must be moved by high con siderations of public duty, as was John Sherman several times aud only rccouty Mr. Knox.

London always is busy with Its charities and especially the work dele gated to the county council. The dis covery was made some time ago that money spont In an effort to school the minds of underfed children was a waste, and to remedy this error the plan of feeding the hungry pupils was adopted and with satisfactory results. In one school of 1,400 children 300 underfed boys and girls were found. A menu was arranged so that now these children are given soup twice a week and bread and milk three days necessary to a salonlere.
