Good or Marriage.

The French sarant, DIR. Bertillon, has
given the result of his study of mortality
statistics of every country Of Europe. He
comes to the conclusion that marriage is
conducive to good health, long life and
morality. and is. so TO speak, limited
insurance against disease, crime and sui
eide. lie says bachelor of % has not Il
much better prospect of long life than IA
married man of A. that among widOwers
of from p to 80, the rate of mortality is
as great as among married men of from
55 to 60. Taking the French bill of NOR
tality. he shows that while the annual
death-rate among married men between
20 and % years of age is rather under 10
per 1000, bachelors Of that age die at the
rate Of l6. and widowers at the rate of ~
per 1000. These figures apply to the
whole of France, while, taking Paris, it
appears that the rate for men between 20
and % years of age is -, per 1000 for
married men. q per 1000 for bachelors.
and - per 1000 for widowers. With ad
vanced life the difference goes on increas-
ing. With regard to crime. DIR. .Bertillon
asserts that the offences against the per-
son are 30 per cent less. and against pro-
perry - per cent less among married
men than among unmarried. The differ
ence is still more remarkable among wo-
men. amounting to $50 per cent. The
number of suicides is at the rate of CPS
per million for widowers. 273 per million
for bachelors, and 246 per million for mar
ried men.

ToaAs in The Hothosse.

A writer in the London Journal gives
some interesting statements respecting
the toad. In the matter Of feeding. he
SAYS the toad is not very particular. either
As to quality or quantity. Anything that
creeps or crawls will do for him-wood-
lice. beetles. spiders, slugs, worms, even
As If BY magic. for he has peculiar way
Of catching his prey. He watches the
moving insect for an instant or two. then
suddenly darling out his tongue while at
distance Of one or two inches, the in
sect is snatchcd up and swallowed instant
ly. One evening he gave one wasp and
"A bumble-bee Both were snatched up di-
rectly they commenced to move. apparent
" without causing the toad the slightest
discomfort, though they must have reached
his stomach in tolerab.y active condi
ton. In plant houses. especially forcing
houses, where insects increase their num-
bers 50 rapidly a. all seasons. the toad .
services are especially valuable; and
if a suitable ladder. made of mar
row board with bits of lath tackled
on il two inches apart, be set in a corner,
slanting from the floor TO the stage, he
will climb II and thus be enabled TO make
himself still more useful. But perhaps
the most remarkable fact concerning the
toad il. thai. though he can and does eat a
great deal, he can exist long time with
out eating anything. Years ago he buried
one for a month in the earth as an ex-
pertinent. and when dug up it was ap-
parently "a well as ever. More recently,
having been bothered with myriads OF
wood-lice in an an early cucuD,ber-house,
and not being able to find toads in Febru-
ary, he, later on when they became plen-
tiful, buried three in nine-inch pot with
a slate on tine top, eighteen inches under
ground, that he might have them handy
for the next early forcing season. But
that season he did not reqnire them. so
they remained buried until the following
one. and were then on being taken up. APP

eighteen months fast, though they didn't
have any ice water or alcoholic baths.

She Endures the Pain Of a Severe Surgical

Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Creek Locks, Ulster

the sight of one of her eyes, through an accr

ton therein for two long years; the other eye
finally becoming sympatheticaly affected,
her general health seriously suffering; indeed
she was mere wreck, walking skeleton.
In this terrible strait she consulted DIR. David
Kennedy of Rondout, n. Y, who told her
at once that the injured eye must be removed.
She quietly but firmly said, "All right, Doc
tor, but don't give me chloroform. Let my
husband sit by my side during the operation
aud will neither cry out or STIR" Ibe
work was done, and the poor woman keps
her word. Talk of soldierly courage! This
showed greater pluck than it takes to facea

whelmed with misfortunes that hope dies
within them, when shame and disgrace
impend over them, when they are no longer
sustained by the affection of their fellows,
when, in short, they arrive at the conclu-
sion that life has nothing more for them,
they will, as of old, have recourse to suicide.
We do not know whether this crime is in.
creasing at ali, but it is quite possible.
The weakening of the restraints Of re-
Ggion, the decline of the belief in future
life, the revival in the Nineteenth Century
of the old Stole Philosophy, may very well
tend to loosen the hold OF many weak
minds upon life. Yet the American tenn.
permanent is certainly averse from de.
spondency, as a rule, for there is no coun.
try where men ara 80 accustomed to great
vicissitudes, where the wheel OF Fortune
turns more rapidly and capriciously, where
failures are less permanent, where chances
pf recovery are SO abundant, or where the
habits of all classes tend more strongly to
an optimistic theory of life. All things
considered, there ought to be fewer sui
cides in the United States than in Europe,
proportionateiy, for here at least the man
who has fallen to the bottom of the ladder
may always hope to regain the top while
be has life and energy. while temporary
failure is not regarded, as it is in the cid
world, in the light of lasting disgrace
and an recoverable misfortune.
