forty? With this problem unsolved, how
vain is the pleasure afforded by all the
other. If any one thinks these show that
men are more willing to marry as they
grow older than women, the Herald would
suggest that Willingness to marry and
marrying are two very different things.
1t rather proves that old men are better
able to find younger women willing to
marry them. Young men very seldom
care to venture on matrimony with women
old enough to be their grandmothers, while
young women, experience shows, seem to
think great-grandfather's age is no OBJ
lection in a husband.

boston Herald. !


do not know how l shall introduce the
dlstasteful topic which Mr.. Emerson
called the rage for expectoration. There
is not cuspadore in the whole of the
house of commons, or in any of the hotels
of England. What would senator in con-
gross do in parliament? It is a disease
partly resulting from the climate, which is
much dryer than that of England. and in
India even. Englishmen drop into our
coarseness of the habit. The fact that we
can manage our churches properly shows
that We can abolish the contrivances.
Russians and Englishmen consume one
pound of tobacco peryear each, and Amer
leans three pounds. There is a looseness
in our habits about the use of the weed
which we gave to the world that is not
reached anywhere except it be in some
parts of Germany, but Englishmen are
far moro cautious about the rights of
others than We are. No man has right
to make me smoke, or to offend whole
company of people by his habit.
l am ashamed of the good nature of
Americans on this point, and, as Herbert
Spencer told Us, we ought to be more ready
to quarrel in English fashion. We shall
resist them when it is necessary, but our
ministers have taken higher position,
and the mighty Methodist church will not
ordain man who is an habitual user of
tobacco. I have heard the greatest ora
tor of Boston express the hope that the
day would come when no gentleman
would smoke on the street. That was Wen
dell Phillips. If the gentIer half will as
sert their rights, men of good habits will
be encouraged, and men who have none
will bear great amount of encourage
meht.

From these it appears that the women
were early in seeing their destiny, dozen
of them marrying before the age of 20 to
every single man who was ready to double
up. Between the ages of 20 and 25 it will
be noticed that masculinity came manfully
forward and tried to make up for the lost
time and missed opportunities. But still
the women had about one fourth the best
of the race. The twenty-five year post
