CURIOSITIES OF AMERICAN DIVORCE.
[BY SYDNEY BROOKS.)
In the last twenty year nearly a million divorces have been granted in the United States, During the amo period the percentage of divorces has increased, three times as rapidly as population. Ono American marriage out of every twetre ends in the courts. In the State of Washington the ratio of divorces to popula. tion

Such are a few of the more striking facts just brought to light by the official report of the Aurican Government upon marvinges and divorces in the United States from 1887 to 1906, To place them in a proper perspective they need to Go supplemented by some of the other revela tions of the inquiry.

But even these figures wood amplifying and defining if their proper mening is to be din interred. "Desertion," for example, accounts for 40 per cent, of the divorcos; and there are almost as many verpretations given to the word as there are. States. In twenty-one States it means willa) absence. for one year; in twelve for two years: in twelve more for three years; nud in two for five years. Absence without word" for a period of three, fire, soven, or ten yours, is also construed as desertion; so in some Stales is the refusal of the other party to cohabit; so is vagraney by the husband; sa rofuntary separation for five years, so too, is the joining of any religious soot that denones murringe as In Tennesse a tinge of patriotishi seems to colour the social definition of desertion. It is diserited as being, in part, the refusal of the wife to five in or users into the State with her husband. Not very kong ago it was possible to ahtain a divort by simply leaving husband or wife and speling thirty days in Oklahoma or winety days in South Dakota.

Now the time-honoured though un writton rule that last apt stual directly behind the hall is put into writing more subtle method of annoyance is recognised by the recommendation that we one should stand boyond the hole in the line of a player's stroko.

Drunkenness, which accounts for about 4 per ent of the divorces, is a ground for divorce in thirty-nine States, for imparation in three and for annulment in one, while seven States, make no mention of it.
