deaths 1000 bachelors, 10 deaths; and
| 900 widowers, % deaths. From 80 to 80
years of age, the same class, respectively,
furnish I, IL aud II deaths. From 35 to 40
years of age, the mortality is u, 10, and
ia per 1000 respectively. And so on in
series of tables for all ages, the married man
has greater longevity than the single man.
The same advantage of the married state OBJ
tains in the case Of females, though up to the
age Of so the difference is not so apparent as
in the other sex. From 80 to 35 the NOR
tslity is II per 600 for single women, and
only 0 per 1000 for married women, and
this difference increasec up to the age Of 55
Thus from so to So years age, 1000 wives
furnish only 10 or 10 deaths, while as many
single women or widows furnish 20 or 27.
This advantage remains very notable beyond
that age, diminishing but little, In France,
however under 25, and ia Paris, under 30
years Of age, marriage is far from favorable,
but even injurious, as also in the case Of
males. The mortality of unmarried girls of
from Is to 20 is 1853 per 1000; the NOR.
tally Of wives of the same age being ! I So.
The mortality of girls from 20 to 20 is s.32 /;
OF wives of the same age, 9.92
