Facts for the single.

A French philosopher has lately
brought to light some curious social sta
tistics compiled from the records Of
eleven years in France, Belgium and
Holland, relative to the longevity Of
married and single men, which furnish
fresh proofs Of the danger of living sim
gle. 1t appears that married men be-
tween the ages of twenty-five and thirty
years are far more aptto live than un-
married men, the ratio Of deaths being
in their favor, as four to ten and half
in every thousand persons. Here is a
powerful argument for early marriages,
If the law of self-preservation becomes
their advocate; but little further devel
opment of the records shows that at the
same age widowers die at the rate Of
twenty-five in every thousand, beng
twice as perishable as their unmarried
brethren. When the age advances to be-
tween thirty and thirty-6ve years the
case is reversed. Married men die at the
rate of eleven and single men five in every
thousand, the latter nearly recovering
the ground lost in the last semi-decade.
Unfortunate widowers, however, are
still at disadvantage, dying at the rate
of nineteen in every thousand. These
figures open wide field for drawing ref
erences and moral lessons. Evidently
dangers hedge about the life of mas,
but the chief and most apparent warn
ING conveyed by the facts of the case is
the necessity of a mans carefully pre-
serving the life of wife, if be has one,
since her loss increases by about four
fold the imminence Of an end 20 his
own career .rI fY furl

1t seems impossible to get the name

writing it with a p, and afterwards strike

possible-but the intelligent compositor
thinks this is the result Of a fit of emo

Therefore, to be first boy, student had

No TAKERs.-The challenge of the
giant powder men who have been at
work at the Eureka mine. offering a
wager Of $500 that with six men they
can do more work In n month than
the Same number Of men using the
common black powder can do in two
months, still remains without any
"taker." Here Is a fair test. The
giant powder crew offer odds Mt the
rate oflO0 per cent. to the black pow
der crew., but even with such an enor-
nous percentage in their favor they
are afraid to come down with their
coin. Evidently the opponents Of
giant powder have no faith In their
ability to successfully compete with
those who use with impunity the COM
paratively new compound. The giant
powder men have deposited their coin
at D~elano's bank, and "stand by their
guns" There is no flinching or dodg-
Ing on their part. They propose to
advance two feet in the solid rock to
every one foot made by their oppo-
nents. The present state Of affairs
may be put down as follows "Young
America" wagers $500 he can do twice
as much as "Old Fogy," and the latter
believes 1t, and don't car about losing
his money. It suggests itself to US that
