CURIOUS CALCULATIONS,
Marriage and the Death

A writer inScribner's Month.
Iy says: The death-rate in the
married and unmarried was
the subject Of a paper recently
read by M, Bertillon, before
the Academy of Medicine in
Paris. The results are based
on statistics derived fir o m
France, Belgium and Holland
and are as follows: Of married
men between the ages of 25 and
thirty, the death rate was 4
per thousand; unmarried, ter
|.peSthousand; widowers twenty
two per thousand. Of married
and unmarried women the rate
was the same, viz: 9 per thou
sand, while in widows it wa;
seventeen.
In persons from thirty to
thirty-fve the death-rate among
married men was IL, the un-
married 5, and the widower'
19 per thousand, Among the
women it was 5 for the mar
ried, ten for the unmarried
and Is per thousand for the
widows, from which we obtair
the following tables: a

An Eagle Attempts to Steal
a Child.

A letter from Copake, N. r.,
of a recent date, says: Jacob
Decker, living near Rhoda
Lake, about two miles from
this place, has a little daughter
about three years ofage. Yes
terday afternoon,9 while she
was playing in the Yard, her
shouts attracted her mother. -
Going out, Mrs. Decker found
a large geagle attempting to
carry of the little one. AL
most frantic with fright she
seized the child and ynshed to-
ward the house. No sooner
had she caught the child in her
arms than the eagle showed
fight.
1t followed Mrs Decker,
pecking savagely at the little
girl, several times touching hel
hair with his beak; but by run
ming rapidly and shielding the
child as best she conld, she
managed to reach the house in
safety. Enraged at being thus
cheated of his prey, the eagle
few against the door and beat
furiously against the windows:
rs if detesmined to effect an
entrance, until Mrs. Decker,
fearing it might break in, hid
the child in a closet for great
er security. AT nightfall the
bird flew away.
Early in the morning the
eagle again made its appear
ance. After flying wildly
arond, it perched upon a tree
hard by the house, apparently
awaiting an opportunity to re-
new the attack. As soon as
she discovered the bird Mrs.
Decker notified the neigh bors
and it was shot. Itiproved to
be a bald American eagle,
measuring seven feet between
he tips of the wings.

that in five out Of the six con-

IOtal iOr decaue. III 'H ~ ~
Which demonstrates that
while in the case of men the
death-rate was the same thro'-
ought the decade for the mar.
ried and unmarried, there was
a great fatality among the wild
overs. We may, therefore,
conclude that while the mar
ried state does not actively i'm
prove the sanitary condition in
men, the relapse into the un-
married state is attended by a
great fatality. The apparent
explanation of this result is the
reduction in the tone of the sys.
TEN from the mental affliction
that follows the loss of the wife,
and doubtless a critical exami-
nation into the diseases which
carry off widows in such a
large proportion, would sup
port this hypothesis.
This singular fatality among
widowers might be advanced
as an argument against the
married state for men, for it is
not attended by any correspon-
ding advantage, since the rate
if the same both in the married
and unmarried; but this is only
a superficial view of the case,
for it must not be forgotten
that the very increase in the
death-rate among widowers
shows how much they have
lost in losing their companions,
and that loss is an indirect but
no less certain evidence that
there was a gain, although it
may appear to be obscure.
Among women, on the con-
trary, marriage reduced the
death-rate nearly one-third
during the decade. 1t had,
therefore, an excellent sanitary
effect. On relapsing into the
single state of widowhood, a
great increase in the death-rate
is again seen, although in a less
degree than in men. Apply
ing, in this instance, the same
argument as in the case of men,
we are driven to the conclusion
that, while the loss of the com
panion increases the death-rate
among women, the results are
not as fatal as among men, in
the proportion, as the table
shows, of forty.one in the men
to thirty-two in the women.
