MARRIED MEN AND CHOLERA.
A Timely warning to Bachelors who
Would Save FhemeIyes,
New York Nine.

A discovery has been made in re-
gard to cholera, namely, that marriage
is a PROPAGATE, so far as men are
concerned Recent statistics of the
cholera in France show that married
men are much less liable to be
attacked BY cholera than are bachel
ors. Iu population of 100, 900 men
between the ages of 25 aud 80, fifty
one unmarried men died OF cholera.
while only eighteen married men fell
victims TO the disease. Between the
ages of 30 and 80 the mortality from
cholera was seventy eight among tae
bachelors and twenty-one among
married men, and between the ages
of 80 and IS, 167 unmarried mer and
only thirty seven married men died.
1t is thus evident that in time of
cholera the married man has more
than three times rs many chances of
life as the unmarried man has.
No attempt has yet been made to
explain this remarkable fact, but it is
not, on the whole, difficult OF expla-
nation. Fhe married man lives in
circumstances much more favorable
to health than those Ia which the
bachelor lives. Foriustance, bis food
is better, for he has Q wife to look after
1t, and in many cases he buys his
meat, his groceries, and his vegetables
himself, whereas the unmarried man
daily risks his digestion at restaurants
or triAcs recklessly with it at boarding
house tables. The married mans linen
and sheets are properly aired, and he
is made to change his clothing when
the weather changes, to wear rubber
overshoes, and to go to bed at decent
hours, whereas tho bachelor has no
one to see that ne is properly clothed
and that he does not risk his health
by keeping unholy hours.
If a calm frame of mind and an
absence of nervous dread contribute
to exemption from cholera, the mar
ried man is peculiarly fortunate. In
cholera time TIE moment the guerv.
GUS bachelor feels the slightes pain he
begins to fancy that he may have
contracted the cholera, and he ends
by frightening himself into a genu-
inc attack. On the other hand, when
a married man has PAIN he mentions
it to mis- wife, who las instantly re.
plies: Stuff and nonsensel You've
no more got the cholera than l have.
Why, 1 have just such pain every
day in the weak" whereupen the
married man is encouraged and con
soled and straightway forgets the
cholera. In case he really has symp.
toms Of INC disease his wife promptly
sends for the doctor and compels her
husband to keep quiet aud take the
proper remedies, but the unfortunate
bachelor who is smltten with caolera
sees himself deserted by frightened
servants, and is left to die or recover
by himself.

Recreation.

There is hCmely saying among
the fishermen "that those who will
not mend their nets will soon be una
BILE to catch fish," and one is seldom
found so improvident as to let hole
grow larger and larger until the net
is useless. The nearest approach to
absolute rest is sleep, and Of this every
man, woman and child should have
abundance proportional to his con-
stitution and occupation; but there is
relative rest, quite as important, and
more neglected by most men and
women; this rest is recreation. The
Il haven't time excuse, although as
popular as ever, is sadly threadbare.
A man owning property can afford
to invest a thousand dollars
though he withdraw it from &C
tive business, if he is sure the
money will double itself. We
all have wenty-fom hours every
day to invest, and if one hour with
dawn from business can be better in
vested, is it not wise thing to do it z
Relaxation, however, to be profitable,
must be whole-hearted. tits not rest
for the business man to orllg his af-
fairs aud worries home with him. 1t
is not rest for the student to brood
over theories and formulas when he
walks, neither is it rest to take ones
fear and anxieties to our friends table
If we have no heart to throw off these
burdens, we should make the effort IN
spite of ourselves. We have been
bound to our cares as the convict is to
his ball and cham, and it is time to
master circumstances, instead of being
their slaves. Mental slaves are more
Independent upon the physical condl
ton than we are inclined to think.
Irritability means over-strained
nerves; the "blues" and "black but
terhies" are other names of indiges
ton and a poor circulation. Recrea
ton, it is to be remembered, is neither
dissipation, nor yet absence Of activity.
Complete change of thought is relaxa-
ton; and Hood is quoted by a recent
writer as saying that the Quaker al
ways enjoys life, for he makes a pleas
ure of his business and a business Of
his pleasure. Every Other Saturday.

ESCAPE OF MARSHAL BAZAINE.
The Manner in which the Man of
Metz Got Out of Prison.
Illustrated History OF England.


The escape of the fat man of Metz
from his prison on the Isle of ST.
Marguerite was arranged entirely by
the marshal, his wife, and nephew,
Alvrez de Buell. Nine. Bazaine had
hired steamer for pretended pleas
ure-trip at Genoa, and, leaving her at
anchor in Jouan bay, she had started
for the island of St. Marguerite, with
her devoted nephew, in an open boot
across the stormy sea. Meanwhile,
the marshal, who had been forewarn-
ed of his wife's design, had managed
to elude his jailer and to secure a
rope, one end OF which he secured to
two iron bars placed crosswise in an
old gutter which carried off the rain
water from the rock; the other hung
down into the darkness. He then
began tie descent, some eighty feet
down the face Of the precipice, with
the danger of beng dashed against
projecting cliffs or Of falling into the
sea. Halfway down he rested, by
means of hook which was attached
TO his belt, and lit match, which
signal was answered by feeble light
beneath him Arrived at the end of
the rope, the marshal, al bleeding
and exhausted as he was, threw him
self INTO the sea and swan to the boat,
into which he was lifted with great
difficulty. They reached the steamer
about 1 in the morning, and the mar
shat was forthwith introduced to the
captain as a valet whom madame had
engaged. In due course of time they
landed at Genoa, and prcceedeS
thence 20 Germany.

IN ENGLAND there are ia 900 school
teachers, 95 per cent of whom are
spinsters. In Athens, Greece, the
proportion is quite as great, while the
entrance by women into that eccupa-
ton there means almost as certainly
a life Of single blessedness as though
they had taken the veil. Occasionally
it happens that one marrles, but she
is ever after regarded by her late spin
ster associates as having had weak
ness in her composition that rendered
her unworthy Of the profession.

Where False Teeth Come From.

A correspondent of The 81. Janes's
Gazette writes the following: Apropos
of your article on body-snatchers, and
the statement that it was even worth
their while ''to rifle Il grave for the
sake of the teeth" remember dent
ist who made large fortune by his
practice telling me very curious an
ecdote. He said sixty or seventy wears
ago, before artificial material was used
for teeth, it was often difficult and al
ways expensive to obtain teeth. One
night huge ill-favored fellow called
at his office, and offered him a very
considerable quantity of teeth, and
named his price. The bargain was
struck, and the fellow told the dentist
how he got them. He had pretended that
his wife was dead, and went with tears
in his eyes to a city church and saw
the sexton, and asked him about the
place she could occupy in the vault,
and learned the scale of charges. He
was shown over the vault, and while in
it he stood with bis back toward the
small door leading into the church
yard, by which door the bodies were
brought in. He managed to undo the
bolt, and the same night he entered by
that very door and ransacked every
coffin, thus obtaining the large supply
OF teeth my friend purchased.
