In other countries we find tho same rule, ne
cessitated by th1 same circumstances. Take,
for example, the antipodean colonies. In South
Australia, where the "Cockatoos or small
wheat growers are numerous, the marriage
rate is high. On the contrary, IN New South
Wales and Victoria where the rural population
is mainly devoted to stock raising and min
ing, wives are not in such request
In 1879 the marriage rate showed general
depression throughout the European States,
though it maintained its ordinary ratio. In
