600 in population.
OF divorced couples in Germany, over
90 per cent have no children.
The average age of widowers when re-
marrying is 42; of widows, 80.
In Austria IA is the legal age for mar
riage for both men and women.
Little Denmark is great in the matter
of divorce, there being 81 divorces to ev-
cry 600 marriages.
In Cochin China the breaking of pair
of chOpsticks in the presence of the coG-
pie is legal form of divorce.
In Ohio divorce was recently granted
because ''the defendant pulled this plain

The marriage statistics of every coun-
try show that widowers are more prone
to marry maidens than to take widows
Tie average duration of marriages in
England is 81 years; in France and Ger
many, 26; in Sweden, 90; Norway, "a:
Russia, 80.
Marriage is a contract, but differs from
