MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY,
Some Reflections Upon a Very In
teresting Subject.

A~'$hs OhOyCALs
Among the Massachusetts centeparians
one in eleven OF the women had never
been married, while among the men the
corresponding proportion was only one in
twenty-three. Further than this. while
there were three times as many women as
men among the centenarians as a whole
there were six times as many among the
unmarried ones. 1t would seem to be a
fair inference that the effect of celibacy is
less fatal to longevity among women than
men. Nor is this other than might be-
expected, when We consider how helpless
and dependent is an old man, and how I'M
able TO care for himself in the little nice
ties of life which contribute so largely to
health and comfort, and how much less so
in all these respects Is an old woman.
But it would be manifest error to con-
clude that, because the average age Of the
married exceeds that of the unmarried

contains AT the right the private apart
ments of N. Pasteur; at he left are the
stecial laboratories and the lmmen>e

six Doric columns. The second story is
devoted to the preparatory rooms and
private laboratories.
The second building, much larger than
the first, is consecrated to the work that
necessitated the foundation of Pasteur's
Institute. The ground floor is called the
department Of hydrOpho bia, ;" which COM

biological chemistry, under the direction
of Professor Duceaux. In DR.. Roux's
department is a special laboratory reserved
for DR.. Gamaleia, thei Russian student of

the building are heated by steam.
