Matrimonial Chances or Bachelors
and Widowers.

DR.. Bertillon writes . Paris CORE

Is French physician Who hiss gwen
great attention TO medico- social sta
tistics. In framing tables Of the chances
Of marriage he has discarded the old
method (mere groups) and has adopted
. method of framing tables b. groups
and BY corresponding ages. He rightly
insists that age has : great deal to do
with marriage. He goes first to Hol-
land for statistics, because there, better
than anywhere else, tables can be franz
ed Of bachelors and widowers. He saws
that in Holland young men between p
and "a years old annually marry In the
proportion Of As per 1000. Those who
become widowers 1t this sge marry in
the proportion Of els per 600 --tba at Is,
five times more than bachelors. Al the
age when men marry--that IL, between
- and 35-bachelors annually marry in
the proportion Of l19 per LOU, while
widowers marry in the proportion Of
$50 per 1000. After % men feel less
inclination to marry. but even during
these chilling years three or four Wild
overs marry 70 one bachelor IN Swift
erland, four times more wid0Weu than
bachelors marry In Holland, Switzer-
land. England, Belgium, France, where
56.O7 bachelors marry; 1874 widowers
buy plain gold rings. In France, Paris
excepted men marry most between 20
and %. In Paris few people marry be-
tween - and rs. In Pans the greatest
number Of marriages take place after
men are 40 and after women are %;
after these periods the maximum Of
marriages take place and the per centum
surpasses that Of al France, and raises,

marriage from ~ Is to 25 IS.

ter was laid over until 3 o'clock Thursday
