THEY LIVE LONGER.

While ancient maiden ladies, publ
cists and statemen are evolving penal
devices to prevent eligible male persons
from continuing bachelors, they have
overlooked the point that marriage is
not failure in promoting length of life.
A recent magazine writer cOllateS much
data in support of the aYerment that
marriage is life preserver," and. as
the lesson in his proposition, insists that
''if longevity is desirable, then it is
better that we should marry than re-
main bachelors; for it appears that at
every age, from twenty to eighty-fve,
the death rate of the benedicts Is very
much smaller than that of their un-
mated brethren"
This is an inducement that can be
used with great effect. The bachelor.
as a rule. would stay in the world as
long as possible, although he may an
licipate ultimate access to a state
of perpetual celibacy, where there
is neither marrying or giving in
marriage" Even if disappointments
or cynical disposition have led him to
extreme aversion to the dual state. he is
as reluctant as the benedict to join the
society that has no use for matrimony
in the post-mortem era. He might be
induced to see also thatif the connubial
condition promoted longevity. it must
contribute TO the comfort and enjoy
ment of life. BuOyaney and elasticity
in the vital forces may be preserved to
the man as he becomes the head of a
family, and the serenitieS diffused
about the male element in the domestic
regimen contributes to the harmonious
cooperation of the bodily faculties
! This is the condition that promotes Ion.
gevity. There are exceptions TO all
| rules. but there is ample encourage
ment to the man who cares to live out
/ the full measure of his days to plunge
| into the matrimonial sea.

But our wanderers are now coming home
in tanned crowds The summer hotels, the
ocean steamers, the country cottages, are all
giving up their victims. They are all coming
home, these transoceauic travellers, and what
will they do? Some of them will go back to
business and be the same mechanical money
makers they were before. A great many will
adorn their conversation with little stories
beginning, when / was in Europe" At
first their friends viii listen interestedly and
enjoy it, but after a few months of it the
man who says when | was III Europe" will
become the most unpleasant of bores, q
thing from which all able-legged people will
flee. Some of them will forget they ever
were abroad Some of them will remember
only guidebook statistics. Some of them will
inwardly digest their hastily acquired express
sions at their leisure. Some of them will
begin at once to get ready to go again, and
with them all the town viii go on just as it
has for years.

Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin
Of tie Wisconsin Weather and
Crop Service,
cooperating with the Z. 5. Weather Bureau,
for the week ending Saturday, May so, 1891
No. O.

BULLETIN No. g.
The past week has been dry, cold and
sunshiny. Light local showers were
reported from few of the western and
southern counties during the early part
of the week, the average fall being less
than a seventh of an inch In the in
terror of the state the drouth continues
with marked severity.
The weather averaged coldest in the
eastern and southern counties, the tenn
perature averaging nearly seven degrees
below the normal in these sections,
severe frosts occurring on 25th and 26th,
and ice forming to a thickness of from
/ to ] inch in the interior counties.
The damage by frost to vegetation is
however light in comparison to the con-
tinued damaging effects of the drouth,
in the greater portion of the state The
month of May can be classed as one of
the dryest on record. The excellent
prospects on April 30th have given place
to the most discouraging prospects at
date. Meadows and pastures are par
ticularly poor and the hay crop will be
very short.
In the sections visited by rains last
week, the southern, and portions of the
western and northwestern counties, the
outlook is improving, but even in the
southern counties many fields of late
oats, barley, etc, were ruined past re-
demptiOn and will be replanted with
corn.
The following report from one of the
correspondents of Fond du Lac county
is given as sample of the majority of
the reports rendered by correspondents
in the central, eastern and northeastern
counties, representing the greater por-
ton of the state: Never in the history
of the county has the prospect for crop
been as bad as at the present writing.
Fields of grain that have been sown
from four to six weeks are almost as
bare as when the work was completed.
Every interest connected with the farm
is in a deplorable condition and unless
rain comes soon an absolute and utter
failure must be the result
This mornings Signal Service tele-
graphic reports show that RAIN is gem
eral throughout the northwestern states
and the present outlook for rains in
Wisconsin is therefore good.

The adjournIng of the impeachment
court last Saturday, on account of Gen.
Weaver's belly-ache, cost the people of
the commonwealth nearly $500. One
dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy would have
saved this expense; and we suggest, as
matter of economy and humanity, that
the state provide against future con-
tingencies of this nature, by furnishing
each senator with bottle of that valu-
able remedy. % and 80 cent bottles for
