Curious Marriage Statistics.

A German statistician has recently
published the results of his investigation
of the relative ages of husbands and
wives in the various capitals of Europe
He ascertained that marriages are the
most frequent where the husband is two
or three years older than the wife.
Women under 20 years of age usually
take unto themselves husbands six or
seven years older than themselves. The
cases in which the man was a year
younger that the woman were almost as
numerous as those in which he was six
or seven years older. The first condition
was true of 6 z per cent. of all married
couples and the latter condition of Ga
per cent The cases where the husband
was six or seven years younger than the
wife were also just as numerous as
those where he was 13 or IA years older
Only two cases were discovered where
the husband was 35 years the senior,
one case where he was AZ years older,
and one case where he was older by 48
years. One case was discovered where
the wife was "a years older than the
husband. Twelve and three tenths per
cent. of all men who marry women
under 20 years of age are between 26
and 81 years Id.

The Forest.

As trees grow thickly together in the
forest the lower limbs die and drop off
while they are small But in cases of
isolated trees the conditions are so diff
ferent that unless pruned they are often
i'll shaped and unsightly. Many people
enormously imagine that as tree grows
the limbs will be raised higher, whereas,
from increased weight, they droop and
become really lower. The common
practice is to neglect pruning shade trees
until the view is obstructed by large
low limbs. which are then heroically
sawed off, leaving large knots and scars,
which must ever remain to offend the
eye. These useless branches were grown
at the expense of the main trunk Such
trees can never present the fine majestic
appearance of those which have a nearly
uniform diameter from the ground to
the lowest limbs.
In imitation of natures process in the
forest, all limbs and sprouts should be
removed as soon as possible up to a de-
sired point. This can usually be done
with an ordinary knife, or even the
hand. In considering the removal of a
sprout the question should be. Will a
branch be desirable at that point? If
not, let it not remain to rob desirable
parts. The height at which branching
should be allowed to commence must be
decided by individual taste, which will
also indicate the looping at other points
of those branches which are ill formed
and not in harmony with the general
appearance. Dead and decaying limbs
should be promptly removed

The Editors Wife.

Our wife is Tearing the art preserva-
tive and we are having more fun than
box of monkeys.
She knows all about the business-has
learned more about the business in two
weeks than we found out in ten years.
She don't see why they do things in
this way, and knows it would be better
to do things some other way than that
pursued by every printer since Adam
was born. Poor girl, she'll know more
and not be so smart either, after we have
shown her the type vermin, had her dig
down in the hell box about foot look
ing for italic periods, and made few
trips around the corner looking for a
three cornered chase, etc.
When we speak of illegitimate type
she is horrifed and declares she believes
every word she ever heard about printers
being tough is true.
Ask her for the quoins and she wants
to know if you mean those two nickels
she had to ask for six times last summer.
Calls the leads tins and the galleys
plates, and she can't tell the shooting
stick from corkscrew.
When we speak of making up form
she is as mad as blazes and wants to
know what woman we are talking about
now.
All phrases familiar to every printer
sound strange and she thinks we are
poking fun at her, but if her health
holds out she will make good typo, as
she can almost set "plateful" day
now.

Wild Duck Shooting.

From Harper's Weekly
L believe there is no longer any con-
troversy as to relative shooting eapaci-
ties of large and small guns. lean recall,
however, when the war of words between
champions of ten and twelve guages
waxed furious. The superiority of a
large weapon was demonstrated to my
own satisfaction at that time BY the use
of an extreme example. While on
hunting expedition came across pot
hunter who had gun about which he
told astonishing tales. The gun was an
eight-bore muzZle loader weighing Is
pour ds! The tales related chiefly to the
moving of swaths in the ranks of water
fowl at rest, for the man was the most
shameless of pot-hunters. Sixteen geese
at one discharge, forty odd teal at an
other, were, L recall, among the disgrace
full records notch ed, so to speak, on the
stock of this old gun. This did not in

osity was aroused, and / determined to
put the gun to legitimate test, the
owner offering to loan it for that pur-
pose. So had it carried one morning
to point over which ducks were flying
very high; so high, indeed, that they
paid no attention to me, though stood
in full view. Finding first that my own
gun failed to reach the game, loaded
the cannon with "about a handf. of
powder, and as much shot as you please"
according to the owners not very ex-
plicit instructions; and the next pintail
that attempted to pass over was brought
down from just below the cloud-line like
a meteor. l repeated the experiment
until was fully convinced that nothing
well within sight was out of range of
that gun; then L lugged the thing back

As SOON as Grover returned from his
trip to the Dismal Swamp, the announce
ment is made from Washington that he
proposes to use his influence to force
the Wilson bill through the Senate SUBJ
stantially as it came from the House"
The President has always shown dis
position to usurp the legislative functions
of the government and to regard himself
as the supreme and mighty autocrat of
the destinies of the United States. He
has also been twice shown that although
he is running the House, he can not
knock down and trample upon and bind
up into a package and vote the Senators
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
Senate will continue to act as it has q
right to act, uninfuenced by the nod and
frown of the President.

LIVING UNTO ONEsELF.-If man is
constantly learning and never using his
knowledge or communicating it, of
what value is it? 1t does not enrich his
own life or that of others, and he cannot
even leave it behind him when he dies,
as the miser does his gold. The affect
tions that are never expressed wither up;
the powers that are not exercised decline.
The very qualities which are admirable
in themselves exist only by being con-
stantly employed for the benefit or
pleasure of others. SO no man can live
unto himself. Whatever he would get
and keep, that he must give and use
most freely.

We would like to be able to point to
the Ohio Legislature as body of states
men in whom there is preponderance
of wisdom, but we have pretty carefully
read the reports of their proceedings
each day and, since we aim to be truth
full, we must remain silent There are
some good men in each body, but the
trouble seems to be that there are too
many men there whom their constituents
believed would not be elected or they
would not have been nominated. There
are men in either branch who, if they
were allowed to dictate, would be able
to put different color on the character
of the business transacted, but too often
these men are out voted or their recon.
mendations are not needed Bills to
regulate hawks, skunks, and vermin, OF
to bond town for the purpose of estab-
fishing brass band, are so ridiculous
as to bring the whole Legislature into
derisiOn, and in this derision the cool
headed, thoughtful members suffer for
the follies of the members who should
be pursuing occupations where brains is
not requisite qualification. 1t is proper
to remark, however, that the Belmont
county Representative does not belong
to the class that fathers or even counte
nances such fool bills as those mentioned
above. Heinlein's course generally
has been commendable, and if there
were more like him we would be able to
report better things than have so far
been found in the record of the proceed
ings of the Legislature.

SOME branches of business, in which
there has been stagnation for months,
are now beginning to experience slight
movement, yet, while all hail the move
ment as a sign of returning activity,
whatever revival there may be is destined
to be founded on remarkably low basis.
Agriculture is the foundation of all in
dustry, and if we examine the conditions
existing in that branch of business, the
prospect before the farmer is anything
but promising. With the Wilson bill a
law the hope for wool bringing more
than 16 or IL cents is exceedingly dim.
Wheat at 55 cents is no better than wool,
while horses and cattle can scarcely be
given away. Hogs have been fair
price but one season suffices to entirely
change the conditions of the hog market
Where then is the farmer to find any
profit, and with the farmer making little
more than living, how is other indus
t-y to thrive. 1t is altogether probable
that business will move as soon as the
tariff matter is settled, but it will be on
the basis of the lowest prices for forty
years. Any movement, though, will be
better than the conditions that have ex-
isted for the last eight or ten months.
If it were possible that the Wilson
bill would not become law, conditions
would at once become wholly changed,
and we might hope for speedy advance
in prices and brisk resumption in
trade, but unhappily we have no such
cheering prospect. We must endure
what can not be helped, but we can let
loose our pent up disgust when the next
general election rolls around.
