Aboard Ship.

Sea voysges are usually deemed promo
tive of health. So they are in most cases.
But it May web be doubted if the shaking
up aboard ship, which people of very fra
gile constitution and weak nerves get, is
not prejudical, if its effects are not averted
or nullified by a medical safe guard. The
best, il we are to believe the testimony of
ocean travellers, whether they go abroad
foe health, pleasure or business, is Hostel

cial travellers sea captains, and yachtmen,
concur in recommending this fine defegsive

climate. For malaria, rheumatic, or kid
ney trouble, nervousness or dyspepsia liver
complaint and constipation it is eminently
efIicacious, and commended by the medical
fraternity far and near.

Nelous faire silver basons hung in

ually both day and night in token that

Inmates which men make as to the eff
cacy of prayer in changing or modi-
flying Gods purposes toward men; few
will, however, be found to DENY the
n.oral beauty of this conception. which
was the common heritage of all the
monastic orders. The ideal of every
monastery was the ideal typifed by
the Durham eyer-burning lights. THE
house was always watchinge to God.
The well-known collects and prayers en-

sung for so many centuries. by day and
by night. in the 200 abbeys and chap

ever interceding 'for all sorts and con-
litions of men,"
But, besides the perpetual prayers
for others, Il peculiar spiritual fellow
ship existed between the religious"
of he same order. and indeed was often
extended to those of other orders. Mr.
Hunt can Account of the Priory of
St. Peter and st. Paul at Bath'O gives
lis remarkable illustration of this
fellowship in the bond of prayer made
between the priory of Bath and six
other Benedictine converts, rs far back
as \. ID. 1877, in which the parties
agreed to pray for one another and their
brethren, and to be loyal to the king
and queen with one heart and one soul.

that two of the abbots were of the con-
quering race, and their union with
their English brethren is pleasant to
contemplate"
When monk died messenger was
dispatched TO all the religious commu-
mites from which prayers were due.
and indeed to many others, with the
lnortuary roll, having at the head an
announcement of the death and n short
account of the deceased. Each commu-
nifty acknowledged the receipt of the
roll by writing upon it n promise of
PRAYER for the soul of the departed,
and, as n rule, a request for similar
prayers for their deceased brethren and
benefactors was added. The benefits
of these prayers seem to have been
granted to Il large number of benefac-
tors and others. Nor was this priv
ilcge by any means confined to the
great and wealthy; very small, even
a normal payment, such as pound of
wax, seems to have qualified man or
woman to receive it, if otherwise fl

''sorores' of the convent Those so adj
niitted knew that the Divine sacrifice
was daily offered for them in the

prayer was continually made for them
while they lived, and that after death
the welfare of their souls would be the
subject of special intercession.-Quar-

ENGLISH VITAL STATISTICS.
Tho Marriages, Births and Deaths Dur
Ing the Year 1894.


Ing the Year 1894.
The 57th annual report of the regis
trar general of marriages, births and
deaths in England and Wales in 1894
has just been published. His statistics
are based on a population estimated
to number in the middle of the year
1894 10000, 763 persons Q4,565,e6O males
and 15,405,1 1903 females). The number
of marriages registered was 226, 44o,
corresponding to a rate of 15.1 persons
married per 1000 living. The rate in
1893 was 14.7, and the average rate from
1854 to 1893 was 14.0. This recovery
conceded with slight fall in the value
of British exports, and with fall i'll
the price of wheat of 1873 per cent.
below that of 1898, which had been the
lowest on record. OF the marriages
contracted in 1894 1856, 1852, or CSC per
1000, were celebrated according to the
rites of the Established church, and
71,097, or 314 per 1000 otherwise. OF
The 221,215 couples whose ages were
stated in the register the mean ages
were 2S.4l for men and POL for women.
The figures for 1894 show the first nota-
bic break in the increase of the mean
age at marriage, which has been going
on for several years. This is not accom-
panied by any increase in the proper
tons of under-age marriages.
Births during the year numbered
s9O.2S9, and were in the proportion OF
POO per 900 persons living, being the
lowest on record, and showing fall
of . per 900 below the mean rate in
the preceding decennium. The deaths
amounted to 49S.S27, "A proportion OF
1876 per 1000. The average rate in the
preceding ten years was 1872. The
death rate in 1894 was considerably
lower than in any previous year on
record In 1894 the death rates at the
several age groups were not only con-
siderably lower than the mean rates
in the previous four years, but were
also lower even than the exceptionally
low rates of 1883 and 1889. The death
rate in the urban districts was III, or
more than Is per cent, and i'll the rural
districts 1916, or nearly IL per cent.
below the decennial average. The
deaths from smallpox numbered 500
or 81 per ,000,000 as compared with 40
per 100000 in 1898. The scarlet-fever
rate was the lowest, and the rnteric-
fever rate almost the lowest on record
On the other hand, the diphtheria NOR
talitv was SIS per cent. above the decen-
NAL average. The deaths attributed
to suicide were 2,729, or 81 per 200, 900
the highest rate on record.-Chicago
