Novel Statistics


Here is something for the Statistical
society. says The London Fty1ro. 1t
has been calculated by q most devoted
amateur OF statistics that il the late
NJ. Chcvreul, who lately died at the
age OF l03, had never cut his nails they
would have obtained the 9th ult., the
day OF his dccease, To the length of POS
inches. This calculation is founded
on the fact which. according to physi-
o!osiSis, may be safely accepted rs
correct--tliat The nails OF the average
mortal grow every year to the extent
of an inch and two-tilirds. Strange to
say, however, the nail on the middle
finger grows little more quickly than
the others, and annually adds close on
two inches in its length Ii therefore
follows, states the sta~iistician, That NJ.
Cncvren! in the curse of his prolract-
ed life must have grown in all on his

A Roumanian Peasant Marriage.
The Roumanian peasants have many
interesting social customs, and none
more interesting than their fashion of
making love and marrying. The queen
Of Roumania ("Carmen Sslva") tells in
the June number of the Forum how the
lads strip the manageable girls of their
long girdles and wind them about their
own bodies. If after q time the parents
OF a girl demand the return Of her girdle
by the youth who wears it. he is an &c.
cepted lover. To a wedding the whole
village is invited. The tro,h sponsors
stand beside the bridal pair before the
altar, bearing in their hands each 3 tall,
tout wax candle. The bliie and bride
groom must thrice eat of the same NOR
sci and drink out of the same goblet, to
signify that as long as they live
they will share with each other
every bit and sup Then, led by
the trothfather and trothmother, they walk
around the altar thrice; that represents
the paths through life. During the walk
the bride must give a tug to the foot OF
one of the maids present, who then is
sure TO be married before the year is out.
If the bride is q maid the golden thread
is solemnly taken off her head. 1t serves
in the place OF a veil and is like golden
hair, being specially becoming when ii
reflects the candlelight. Her hair is
then clipped a little, rolled tight under
the handkerchief, and now the girl is for
the first time covered with the veil, the
token of matronal dignity. During this
performance the bride must weep and
cry, and h~enccforth she must never show
her hair, not even to her husband.

Abuse of the KISSING Habit.

ment in its favor, however, that it is .hus
found to be an accompaniment Of the
highest civilization, for it may be
promptly retorted that vice and crime
also increase with civilization, and that
eve civilized and refined people often
keep alive barbarous practices inherited
from savage ancestry. The kiss, in its
proper functions, has a fine significance.
and may be made the vehicle Of the
purest emotions. the honest expression
of legitimate feeling, a greeting full of
genuine, voluntary sympathy and love.
The kissing hsbit is an abuse and a mis-
use. 1t has brought the kiss into dis
grace and made 1t vulgar. cheap and
hypocritical. Be it the province of this
generation of refinement and education
to rescue it from its degraded estate and
restore it to it's natural elevated and ele.
