p@ A table inserted in paper in the
Assurance Magazine exhibits results of a
rather startling character. In the first tive
quinquennial periods, 20-25 and $3.50,
the probability of widower marrying in a
year is three times as great as that of q bach
elor; at 30, it is nearly four times as great;
from 30 to as, it is five times as great; and
it increases, until at go the chance of wild
owor marrying in year is eleven times as
great as that of the bachelor. 1t is curious
TO remark, from this table, how confirmed
either class becomes in its condition of life
how little likely, after few years, is a
bachelor to break through his settled habits
and solitary condition; and, on the, other

Tiles IN EUROPE.

A GLANCE AT THE PAsT.--BAT- ;
Tiles IN EUROPE.
As matter of interest, at present, we
give the following result of desperate battles
fought in Europe since 1872:
On the heights, four miles from Salaman-
ca, in Spain, the English and Spaniards un-
der Wellington, totally defeated the French
under Marmont, on the 22d of July, 1872.
The allies lost five thousand two hundred
men, and the French sixteen thouand.
At the battle of Smoleuski, in Russia, in
1872, the French loss was seventeen thou
sand, and that of the Russians ten thous-
and.
At Borodino, on the 7th September, was
fought desperate battle between the Rus
slams and the French. The French loss in
killed, and wounded and prisoners, fifty thou.
sand and the Russians aboutthe same NUM-
Der. The survivors of the French army, from
the Russian campaign, were not more than
thirty-6ve thousand out. Of an army of five
hundred thousand men.
At Lutzen, in Russian Saxony, on the I'd
May, 1913, the allied Russian and Prussian
forces were defeated by the French under
Napoleon, the French losing eighteen thous-
and, and the allies fifteen thousand men.
At Bautzen, in Saxony, on the 2lst and
22d of May, 1913, battle took place be-
tween the allies and the French, in which
the French loss was put down AZ twenty-five
thousand, and that of the allies fifteen thous-
and.
At Dresden, in Saxony, on the 10th and
9th of August, 1915, the allies were defeat
ed by the French. The loss of the allies
was about twenty-five thousand in killed,
wounded and prisoners, and that Of the
French about twelve thousand.
At Leipsic, in Saxony, in October, 1918 a
desperate battle was fought, which lasted
three days, and the French were totally de-
feated by the allies. Napoleon lost two mar
shals, twenty generals and sixty thousand
men. The allies lost one thousand seven hun
dred and ninety officers and about forty thou
sand men.
At Vitoria, in Spain, on the 2lst of June,
1918, the English and French fought bat
tie, in which the French lost seven thousand
and the English five thousand one hundred
and eighty men.
At Tolouse, in France, Wellington defeat
ed the French under Soult, on the 10th Of
April, 1914. The French loss was four
thousand seven hundred; allied army's loss
four thousand FIVE hundred and eighty men.
At Ligny, in France, battle occurred be-
tween the Prussians and French on the 10th
June, 1915, two days before the battle of
Waterloo, in which the Prussians lost fifteen
thousand men, and the French six thousand
eight hundred.
In the indecisive battle at Quatre Bras,
in Belgium, on the 18th of June, the day
before that of Waterloo, the allies lost FIVE
thousand two hundred men, and the French
one hundred and fourteen.
At Waterloo the total loss of the allies was
sixteen thousand six hundred and thirty-six
men. Napoleon's was about forty thousand.
Neither the Austrians nor the Prussians
can derive much encouragement from histo-
ry to engage in war with France. The
French troops have only been matched in
these wars by the English and the Russians

hand, how readily in proportion does hus-
band contract second marriage who has
been deprived prematurely of the first part
ner. After the age Of 80, the probability of
bachelor marrying in year diminishes in
most rapid ratio. The probability at 35
is not much more than half that at 80, and
nearly the same proportion exists between
each quinquennial periods afterwards.

OF late years, the doctor dcnounces with
emphasis, as one of the producing causes,
the practice Of immoderate smoking in.

universities and large schools, now
called colleges" The doctors remarks
are rs applicable to the youths of this
country MS those Of Europe. No ono con

eessiye smoking, especially in tho cases o
Young people, must he highly injuriou:
both to mini and body. It's effect Is tc

weak, irregular in it's action, and the puls'
