Maria geab!e Ages.
From the New York Exprcss.]

From the New York Express,
AS 1921 girls under twenty years OF
age were married in this city during
1882. it can hardly be complained thai
early marriages have declined. Never.
thcless, from twenty to twenty-five
years is the favorite age for brides,
1862 women within those limits having
entered wedlock. AS is deemed proper,
the age Of men at marriage is greater
than that Of their brides, but 204 youths
under twenty have married in the city
during 1882. There were 1922 from
twenty to twenty-five married, and g.
49, from twenty-five to thirty. The
number of mou under thirty when mar.
rled was 1908, and the number of wo-
men under thirty was 9,434 There
were ,Ol2 men married who we're more
than forty, but only 403 women, show
ing that the matrimonial chances of wo-
men are exhausted sooner than those off
men. One benighted old Benedict of
1882 is more than eighty. The whole
number of marriages, 1905, was too

the legal and constitutional rights,
which no commission can prevent, Of
charging for local travel five cents per
mile on passengers, and yet we do
know that all the roads in the State
have more than year agoreduced their
local rates to three cents per mile; al
most to one.half Of the contract rate
made with tie people when the charters
we're granted by the State--and this vas
done voluntarily by the roads, and
without the expensive machinery OF a
commission.
Why did the companies reduce their
local rates SO low; almost to the point
charged by tho roads running through
the dcnsely populated States II the
East? II was for the reason that by
the reduction they hoped to increase
travel, and stimulate immigration to
the lines Of their roads. Will they not,
do they not carry the local i'rcigh's at
all times as low as they possibly can for
the same reason, to stimulate and IN
crease production, that they may add to
their carving business? Docs not the
same argument apply alike to both
freight and passengers? Are they not
now doing SO in order to develop local
interests that may furnish II home mar
ket n. high prices for all kinds Of farm
production and merchandise, and give
remuncratiyc employment to labor along
their lines hauling coal, iron ore, pig
metal, lumber, &C., at rates that arcab-
solutcly not rcmuncrative? 1t is 50.
Can they do more? II SO, believe
they will do it. 1t is to their interest to
do it. Is it well; is it vie to meet

pose to compromise the claims which II
large proportion Of the people Of the

people than, if our ticket succeeded, the
State debt proper would be settled at
one hundred cents in tie dollar. y u

any valuable labor by Il no-fence law.
In many Of the older States fences are
almost unknown except those co instruct
ed by railroads. like the Illinois Cen
trail, for instance, to keep stock off their
track. The dairy business will take
care Of itself under the no fence law,
and the city will be supplied with but
ter, milk, etc. better than now, by men
who will keep up their COWS and feed
them on good hay and clover. Wherev-

How to cut Potatoes for
Seed.

From the southern industries.
DR.. Sturtcvant has made some inter.
c.tng experiments with the potato ut
the New York Experiment Station,
which shows that deep cut and single
eyes produced the most and best market
able potatoes, while single eyes cut
shallow were inferior. From II dissec-
ton Of the potato the Doctor finds it put
together something like the cone Of Il
pine tree, the buds or eyes Of h potato
being connected by II sort Of umbilical
cord with the centre Of the potato, at
which point is the core or central stem.
These internal stems or veins may be
plainly seen in the raw potato by cut
tiny in thin slices from stem to seed end
and holding up the strong light Of Il
lamp, The appearance will be some
thing like the frost work on our window
panc5 ON winter mornings. After the
starch grains are bur,tcd by cooking,
these veins probably disappear, or are
less visible.
The new theory advanced by DIR.
Sturcvant is, that the potato should be
so cut as to keep the connection between
the eye and the center Of the tubcr
The experiments for the past season
showed that an eye cut shallow in every
case, gave Il smaller yield than when it
was cut long or deep 50 as to reach the
center Of the potato,
We commend this subject to the al
teniion Of our potato growers the COM
ing season. Any suggestion coming
from DR., Sturtcvant is entitled to due
consideration. lie has proven an emf
ncnlly practical scientist.
