The use of horse-flesh as food is becoming more and
more geumal, says a Paris paper. The Observateur
d'Avesne says that the horse butchery of Ilautn3ont
becomes daily of greater extension. Three horses
are killed there weekly, a fact which has cheapened
the price of meat. The horse-flesh for food is sold
so cheap as from 2d. to 3d. English per pound, ac-
cording to quality and cut.
INFLUENCE OF MARRIAGE ON THE DEATH-RATE.
—ln his report for 1863, just published, the Registrar-
General for Scotland says :—" in the seventh and eighth
detailed reports attention was directed to the influence of
marriage on the death-rate of the female, and tables were
published showing the death-rates which prevailed at
each quinquennial period of life among the women wh°
were married and those who were unmarried. These tables
proved that the influence of marriage on female life Was
quite appreciable. They showed that the married women
died at a slightly higher ratio than the unmarried
during the three quinquennial periods of life extending
from 15 to 30 years of age ; but that during the latter
half of the child-bearing periods of life, viz., from 30 to 40
years, the married women died at a lower rate than the
unmarried. At the time when the usual change of life
oecurs iu the female—viz., from 40 to 50 years of age, the
mortality of the married female was found slightly te
exceed that of the unmarried ; but from 45 to 75 yea
5
of age the married women died in a lower proper,
tion than the unmarried. Desiring to complete the
inquiry, the influence of marriage on the death rate of
the male sex has been examined into for 1863, _and the
results are so startling that they merit the greatest MAO',
tion. Table 18 (which is appended) shows the number o'
married and unmarried men in Scotland at each cfniu-
quennial age, the deaths at the same ages, and the pro-
portion of deaths to the living at each age. By thgt
table it appears that at every age from 20 to
years, the death-rate of the married mon is very Inuc":
smaller than that of the unmarried ; in fact, it profe'
that the influence of marriage on the male set
is much more potent than it is on the female
—potent to an extent never previously imagined'
Thus, reading the table without the decimals, 50 PI
to make it more easily intelligible, and reckoning th°"
100,000 persons of each class were livingat each quin(l°°Pi
nial age, it is seen that, while between 20 and 25 yearlft
age, 1,174 unmarried men died during the year in
number, only 597 married men, or half the numbs', die
the same age. In other words, between the ages of 20
le
25 years, the death rate of the bachelors was exactly do°
that of the married men!
