SWISS DIVORCE CASES.
The Court Always Tries tn Settle
The-i by Reconciliation.
In ono Important respect the Swiss
surpass other nations in the manage
ment of their divorce eases, says eu
Kngllsh correspondent.
In every town there is <i kind of offi
cial paper known as the l'eullle rt'Avis,
in which one may read dally the fol
lowing announcement:
"2d. and Mine. X.. who 'ire in in
stance of divorce, are renuested to ap
pear privately before the judge, alone
or with their lawyers, in order to eome
to a reconciliation if possible."
Before the beginning of every di
vorce case in Switzerland this notice is
published and sent out to the inte'-est
ed parties, leaving the couple, of course,
free to attend before the judge c not,
as they wish. Often the couple meet.
Although there are uo statistics pub
lished on the Subject, I am told by a
leading lawyer in Geneva whose spe
cialty is divorce cases that at least 3°
per cent of divorce eases—"much to
my loss, unfortunately,” the Iswyer
added, with a smile—are settled by the
paternal advice of the judge at these
meetings out of court,
In fact Swiss lawyers will not defi
nitely take up a divorce case until it
has passed through the reconciliation
process.
If one of the couple does not attend
the rendezvous this menns that the af
fair is to be fought out. but in any case
Swiss divorces are not expensive.—San
Francisco Chronicle.
EARLY CLUBS IN AMERICA.
The First One Wax Founded In Phila
delphia In 1717.
Tbe two earliest clubs lu America,
according to Colonel Henry Watterson
in bis “History of Manhattan Club.”
were the Fish House club of Philadel
phia. founded In 1717, and the Ho
boken Turtle club of New York, which
was started in 1797. Then came the
Sons of Liberty and the Sous of St.
Tammany, which originated in 'he
brain of one William Moouey, an up
holsterer of 23 Nassau street
The Sons of St. Tammanv, Colonel
Watterson Suds, were so called after
an Indian chief iq derision of Eng
land’s patron, St George, and one of
their main objects was not. as some
have supposed in tbe case of the Tam
many organization, to put good Demo
crats Into every job that paid any
thing. but “to arouse anti-British feel
ing and to disemminate knowledge
concerning the principles of true po
litical liberty.”
The Sons of St Tammauy. 'ater the
Society of St. Tammany, was opposed
to ail trends of aristocracy, and it
counted as its natural enemy the So
ciety of the Cincinnati, whose mem
bership was originally designed to pass
down by inheritance.
The first club of New York founded
on the lines of the Loudon social in
stitutions was thp Union, In 183(1
What “Garbler” Once Meant.
“Gnrble,'’ "garbled.” “garbler.” are
words which nowadays convey quite
a different meaning from that which
was formerly accepted. “Garble” orig
inally signified simply “to-select for a
purpose.” At one time there was an
officer, termed “the garbler of spices.”
whose duty it was to visit the shops
and examine the spices, ordering the
destruction of all Inppure goods. H's
duties were similar *o those of the in
spector of tbe modern health depart
ment. who forbids the sale of decayed
vegetables or tainted meat. The word
comes from a root meaning “to sift”
The impurities sifted, out-have In W>e
course of generations corrupted the
term till a “garbled report”.is no 'ong
er a report wberefrom all uncertainty
has been removed, but one that is full
of misrepresentation and made mis
leading with.deliberate intent
' Outlawry In Scotland.
Tbe unusual sentence of outlawry
recently pronounced bv tbe Scottish
courts Js a relic of the days before ex
tradition existed. For it nrus the usual
unnishtnent of those who wilfully
avoided the execution of legal process
and was inflieted upon the criminal
who fled tbe country and could not be
brought back. In the old days to be
outlawed—in tbe case of women they
called it waiyedrtnckat that one could

wild beast.—Tendon Mall.
Witches and Fairies.
Belief In witchcraft, still an article o*
tbe popular creed in Essex and muv he
