Confucius writing on Chinese laws, established seven ciiuses of repudia tion, among which It uppcaui that the wife could be put aside for excessive gossip or for not Retting along with her father or mother lu law. But there was thin proviso: "The husband Is ad vised to letain her H she will wear mourning for her mot her In law for three years." As a matter of fact, the Chinese resort to the divorce court.--very little and they hold a widow mar rying a second timo in the utmost con tempt. This custom is somewhat simi lar to that of the Hindoos in former years, when the widows Hung them selves on the burning woodpiles upon which their husbands' bodies woto be ing (onsunied. India recognizes ii-rtaln raiifos foi divorce. I'p to tlio commencement of this tontury 11 childless Hindoo wan permitted to lend his wife to a brother or other male relative in order to have children. In Uunnuh the women when marrying do not take their husbands' names, but retnln their own. with tho addendum f "wife of So-and-So." This innkeH It convenient for them to us&iuiio their previous utatus lu public knowl edge when they come to bo divorced, as they are very likely to be, for di vorce Is easy In that country. If a Burmeso wife and husband iiinr rol and determine to uoparato the wife, who always docs all tho marketing, goes out and buys two Utile candles of equal length, which nre made especially for this hep. She brings them home. Sho and her husband sit down on the floor, place the candlw between them and Hunt them simultaneously. One candle stands for him and the other for her. The one whose candle burns out llrst riHus and goes out of tho house forever, with nothing but what ho or she may hao on. The other takes all tho property. This looks fair enough on the fare of It, but It often happens that the wife on her way home with tho candles takes a tiny 3crnplng from tho bottom of one of them. A very little will be enough. If tho husband and the house nro empty of pretty much everything but children she takes the shortened candle and wulks out frco nnd con tent. But If tho house Is well furnished and the husband's possessions are considerable- he gets the short candle and (loci tho walking.
