MARRIAGE AND PROSPERITY.
English Statistics Upon the Benefits OF q
Hiuh Marriage Rate.

A high marriage rate and national
prosperity are generally supposed to
90 hand in hana says the New Castle
(Eneland) Chronicle. For this con-
clusion, the latest quarterly return or
the register general seems to afford
ample warrant. In that interesting
and useful compilation it appears that
during the three months ending with
June last, there entered into the
bonds of wedlock in England and
Wales no fewer than lis, 1888 persons
representing an annual rate Of 1911
per thousand OF the estimate popula-
ton. This is 4.5 per cent. above the
rate in the second quarter in the pre-
ceeding year, and SIS per cent. above
the average rate in the correspond
ing quarter of the ten years 1902.
With the exception of 1882. when
the rate in the second quarter was
also ISL, it is higher than that re-
corded in the second quarter of any
year since 1876, the rate having tEen
been l6.s per 1000. The birth record
reaches 8 later date, the return
showing that during the three months
ending with September last the births
registered in England and Wales
numbered 220,304, corresponding to
an annual rate of 29.7 per 1000 liy-
ing. This was lower than the rate
recorded in the third quarter of any
year since l841 with the exception
of 1888, when the rate was also 29.7.

Some Queer Pennsylvania Statistics.


Some very interesting figures re-
lative to marriages are contained in
recent Pennsylvania report In
1888, in that State, thirteen per cent
of all married men welded women
older than themselves. Eighty per
cent. married them younger than
themselves, and the remaining seven
per cent. took wives their own age.
The average age of the men was 81
years, and of the women 90 years.
More men are married at 90 and
more women at 81. This seems to
be the fayorite time. 4 women of

The youngest couple who yentured
into matrimony was boy of II and
a girl of Is. One man of 81 married
a girl of Is. His age was just three
times hers; and a man of IS took q
girl of IT. When the men are older
the difference in ages varies, but
where the women are older it rarely
exceeds five years. Two boys of 16

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

THINNING FRUIT.--E. I'll. Refill
very justly remarked at q western
meeting that it is less labor to thin
fruit than it is not to thin it, and it
is not half the work that one might
imagine. In gathering from over
bearing trees for market you have to
pick all unthinned fruit, and it viii
have to be handled more than If you
drop half on the ground when it is
small. It is cheaper to thin and drop
it, than it is to gather all and then to
Gull and handle all over again.
RooT PRUNING.-With large trees
root pruning should not be complete
the first year, but half circle, as 1t
were, dug around at one time, the
remaining half dug another subse-
quent season. 1t is important that
when the work Is in hand the ball Of
roots should be undermined quite up
to the trunk or main stem, as large
zap roots frequently take down
ward course, and IL these are not
severed the work will not have the
desired effect. The space beneath
the tree requires that the soil should
be well trodden in, otherwise there
is danger of its shrinking, which, II
the tree was unable to sink with it,
would leave cavity, and seriously
interfere with root formation. Should
the soil be at all dry, it must, as the
filling proceeds, be we'll watered, this
serving to fill up crevices more eff
fectually and quickly then when il
is allowed to sink naturally. More
over, it tends to sustain the tree un-
der its surgical treatment. 1t is a
very good plan when trees are oper-
Grated on at the roots that the nec-
essary pruning be done at the same
time, so that the demands on the
roots may be eorrespondingly decrcas-
ed, and there is also less service up
on the wind forces Vick's Maga-
zine.
CUTTrNG.-A cheap and easy meth
cd, says Southern contemporary,
propagating all soft wooded varieties
of roses, towering shrubs, grapes
Keiffer or LeConte pears and figs is
by means of cuttings.
A cutting should be made about
eight or ten inches long, the lower
portion cut off even with the bud, so
as to allow it to come in direct con-
tact with the earth, while piece of
wood may be left on the upper part,
to prevent them from drying out.
In field culture the rows should be
at least three feet wide, in order to
permit the passage Of the plow or
cultivator.
In planting, the soil may be OPEN
ed with the spade, which should be
pressed into the earth, working II
back and forward until the space is
of sufficient width to insert the cut
ting, or trench can be opened with
a narrow moldboard pillow. In plant
ing it is always preferable to have
the upper bud on level with the
surface.
Insert your cuttings at slight
angle about six inches apart, press
the soil frnly against them with the
foot and finish off with the hoe.
Ninety-five per cent. or moro will
take, and il kept clean and IN q grow
ing condition will make excellent
| plants, that will be ready for trans
planting the following year.

THE BELLS OF THE ANGELS.

There has come to my mind legion,
A thing had half forgot,
And whether read 1t or dreamed it,
Alb, well it matters not.
1t is said that in heaven at twilight,
A great bell softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken
To the wondrous music that rings.
If he put from the hearts inner chamber
All the passion and pain and strife,
Heartache and wearing longing,
That throb in the pulses Of lie
III he thrusts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things,
Heican hear in the holy twilight,
How the bell Of the angels ring.
And I think there lies in the legend,
II we open our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning,
My friend, to you and me.
Let us look in our hearts and question:
Can pure thoughts enter In
To soul, if it be already
The dwelling OF thoughts of sini
So then, let Us ponder little
Let US look in our hearts and see
If the twilight bell of angels
Could ring for us-you and me.
