Nrarringe and Longevity.

At the annual meeting of thefAmerican
Statistical Association, held recently at
Boston, a paper was read, prepared by DIR.
James Stark, OF Edinburgh, Corresponding
Secretary and Principal Director of the
General Register Office in Scotland. The
subject of the paper was the influence of
marriage upeD longevity. The writer had
made observations and ndlcompaFisons of the
number of deaths during a period OF nine
years Among one hiindred thousand liy-
iag Sbersons Of both sexes, it was found
that in each quinquennial period 597 mar
ried and LIZA unmarried, uied yearly, be-
tween the, ages Of 20 anda25; between 80
and 80, 865 married died, and 1886 unmar-
rieei.T gyPhedi difference against unmarried lite
Continued diminishing with the advance of
AGE until between the ages of 75 and 80 the
deaths averaged yearly l,1O8 married to
1.454 unmarried. Among males older than
on ears. the average duration of life was
"a Years for married and 40 years for the
sinsie. Among those above % years olds
the average was 60.2 years old for the mar
ris1 and Az for the single. Among fe-.
males the difference between Is and 3d. and
40 and As wears, slightly favored single life;
from 45 to So it strongly favored marriage;
ond .0oon the whole time Of life, marriage
q nS1eared to add to the longevity OF women.
Tbe explanation of the facts indicated in
these statistics is simply that the additional
labor laid upon a man by the burden OF 81

NYhiteWash.

- Take. clean, water tight barrel, or other
suitable cask. and puteinto it half bushel
OF lime. Slake it, by pouring water over
it, boiling hot, and sufficient quantity to
cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly
till thoroughly slaked. When the shaking
has been effected, dissolve it in water, and
add two pounds of isuIphate of zinc, and
one of common salt. These will cause the
wash to harden, and prevent its cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance to
the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream
color may be added to the above wash, by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or a
good pearl or lead color, by the addition of
lamp-yineior ivory black. For fawn color,
add four pounds of umber-Turkish or
American, the latter is the cheapest-one
pound Indian red and one pound common
lamp-black. For common stone color, add
ourpounds lumber and two pounds lamp
black. This wash may be applied with a
common giwhitewash brush, and will be
found much superior both in appearance
and durability, TO common whitewash. 3f1

MIS-. Partington on Cosmetics. :.

sThat's new article for beautifying the
complexion" said Mrs. Bibb, holding up a
small bottle for Mrs. Partington to look at.
She looked up from toeing a wooden sock
for Ike, and took the bottle in her hand.
- Is it,, indeed !" said She; swell, they
may get up ever so many rostrums for
beautifying the complexion, but depend
upon it, the less people have to do with bot
ties for it the better. My neighbor, Mrs.
Blotehe, has been using bottle for good
many years, for her complexion, and her
nose looks like rupture of Mount Vocifer-
Gus, with the burning lather running all
over the contiguous territory"
Mrs. Bibb informed her, with a smile,
that this was a cosmetic for the outside, and
not to be taken internally, whereupon she
subsidized into the toe of Ike's stocking, but
murmured something about the danger of
its leaking in . nevertheless.
Ike, meanwhile, was ringing martin
gale for Lions tale, securing that waggish
member to his collar. and making him ap-
pear as if scudding before the wind.

An Anecdote of Hiram Woodruff.

g. The following story of him was told the
writer by an witness: One fine after
noon Hiram was driving gentleman over
the Bloomingdale road. New York, when.
he suddenly drew up, and requesting him
to hold the reins for moment, jumped
from the trotting- and accosting the
driver of dirt-cart, the following colo
qny ensued: ""Wil you sell your horse ~
Yes How much,?" Twenty five dol
1ars.,'' sThere's your money; tie him up
behind my wagon" SAN said Hiram,
patting the old horse with the utmost feel
ing, while his voice took most tender key,
t.old2 Ajax, hayeyou come to this Pa dirt
cart. l have had too many good times be-
hind you, old chap, to stand that; no one
ever took you down to a wagon. While 1
have a dollaryou shan't want a peck of oats
or pasture" True to his word, we soon
stopped at wayside inn and 'rold Ajax
was given in charge, with many injunctiens
to be kind to the ''old hoss" Nothing gave
us the dust coming home, and Hiram's
voice never sounded with more inspiring
cheer than after what 1 call his noble. act.
Many will remember Ajax as one of the
greatest roadsters ever among us. He was

Technical words.

In reading we frequently come across
technics with which we are unacquainttd,
the understanding of which is necessary to
give us a correct idea of the su bject. To
obyiate this difficulty we give a definition
OF some of the most eommon:t t9H n. eT
A tirkin of butter, Sc pounds. "a o.. &.
A sack of coal, 224 pounds.
g A truss of straw, SO pounds. .'+
- A stayei of hemp, 80 po unds.n ~-.H
A sack of flour, 2S0 pounds. r rl
a piggot Of steel, 120 pounds. f.-..
a qnIntal, 100pounds. - =
A truss of hay, 56 pounds.
A bash, so bushels.
rcA kilderllin, 1S gallons.

A hogshead, 54 gallons. ..-- -.
A puncheon, 81 gallons.
English prices current often speak of the
price of wheat per quarter. To reduce this
to barrels, multiply the price by and di-
vide by II, and it will give the price, at the
same rate by the barrel. Thus, if wheat is
quoted at Sc shiflings aquarter, multiply
56 by z. and divide by II, and it gives the
price, 80 shillings, S pence barrel.
Few theological definitions could bear
the palm from that of the priest who, hav-
ing preached sermon on miracles, was
asked by one of his congregation, walking

what a miracle, meant.

said the priest. ''Walk on there forninst
