"I have heard It said that, taken as q
whole, people Of these days are not so
handsome as those OF olden times"
said an artist, "but have theory that
they far excel in beauty OF form and
feature their ancestors OF many hum
dred years ago. The only way we have
to judge OF such comparative merits Of
the people Of to-day by those who are
made known to us by tradition and his
tory Is by the means OF statuary.
I'VE compare our modern men with
old works OF art, and pronounce them
inferior Without taking into considera-
tion the deception that has been prac-
tised by the artists whose work was
done for those whose form and feature
they portrayed and from whom they
were to look for their pay.
1T was the easiest thing In the world
then, as it is now, to smooth over blem-
ishes and defects. The are OF photog-
raphy will not permit such deception to
so great an extent as it was formerly
carried on"
'Do artists not ffatter their subjects
as much nowadays rs was done OF old?'
''In making oil paintings this is done
by great many, and that is the rea-
son why many people will not sit for
a photograph, but prefer to be repre-
sented by an artist. The photograph
ers recognize this and do what they
can to overcome 1t. l knew one once
who. having a sitter with a nose very
much out of shape, actually used putty
to straighten It out. and with that i'm
proyement in his customers appear
ance took the picture"

EFFECTS OF MARRIAGE ON LONGEVITY.
ono of tho Most Interesting Problems of
Vital Statlstics.

ono of tho Most Interesting Problems of
vital statistics.
This subject has of late years evoked
but little attention, though 1t Is one OF
the most interesting problems of vital
statistics. The effect OF widowhood
on the rate of female mortality is re-
cullar. Between the ages of twenty
Ave and thirty the death-rate among
widows is something like seventeen
per thousand, as against nine deaths
per thousand among spiDsters and
wives of these ages.
But in France, and more particularly
In Paris, this high mortality soon di-
miniehes, and after Norty-five 1t is not
greater than In maids of the same age.
AT and after this age 1t Ia the mothers
who have the lowest death-rate. "Tho
calculation OF probabilities" says NJ.
Bertillon, "shows lis that the man who
marrles between twenty and twenty
live years, has yet q mean OF forty
years to live In place of thirty y-tlVo
years; and that the girl who marries q,
the same age has forty years to hopo
Tor In place OF thirty-six, which she
would have lived unmarried-the one
adding five years to his existence, and
the other four years to hers"
The influence that marriage excrts in
relation to crime must not be lost sight
OF. The criminallty OF widowers, and
especially of Widows, has been found
to be largely in excess OF that OF the
married, and for every one hundred
unmarried criminals, there are only
forty-nine married as regards crimes
committed against the person, and
about forty-fvefor crimes against prop
erty. Besides this, while crime has di-
minlshed greatly during the last forty
years, 1t Is in the class OF married Grim
inals that the largest diminutlon Is
discovered.
Whatever marriage may be for the
individual, 1t is clearly not failure so
far as the State Is concerned. The
number OF suicides Gmong celEbatss
and widowed is more than double that
which takes place among the married.
Insanity and nervous diseases gener-
ally appear to affect the married in O
still less proportion. There are great
many more widows than widowers In
Great Britain .and the difference in
numbers between the two classes Is
greatest in the large seaport towns
and mining districts. Among the rea-
sons to which this Is ascribed are the
greater bardships and increased risks
to which the men are exposed and theiI
greater intsmperance.
Mr.. Milne also thinks that wldowers
possess a better chance than widows OF
marrying again, and this is perhaps
due to the breadwinning power Of the
former, end the distrust which the
English often have of the latter's ca.
pacity for "honeying and making love"
which distrust Is embodied In the rath-
er cruel aphori5m OF the experienced
Mr.. Weller, Beware OF the widders"

Caleb had three children-John,
Mary and Jane. John is the oldest and
so the most inquiring He had heard
that babies were bought from doctors,
and one day asked his mother about
prices.
Mother, how much did I cost?" he
inquired.
AS some reply had to be made, his
mother said one thousand dollars. John
thought 1t over for moment, and
then GclIed:
How much did You pay for Mary?"
Fifteen hundred dollars"
"Why, che cost more than me-"

boys"
What did you pay for Jane?' Jane
is a little self-willod tyrant.
Jane cost two thousand dollars"
said Mrs. Caleb, and John lapsed into
deep thought. In few moments he
said
Mamma, I don't think Mary cost
too much, but you got stuck with Jane"

A New Way to Raise Money.

An unfortunate German had tried in
vain to make fortune In many ways.
Luck was always against him, and at
last to crown his misfortunes, he fell
i'll. But on what the doctor declared
10 be his death-bed an idea with mil
liens in it struck him. He sent for a
lawyer and dictated a will, in which he
bequeathed vast sums Of money to his
wife. his family. and various charitable
institutions.
The lawyer, a notorious talker,
spread the tidings, and great was the
chargin of numerous acquaintances to
think how they had neglected to pay
court to the dying millionaire. But our
stratcgist wasn't 80 i'll as the doctor
had supposed. and presently he recov-
eyed. Then 1t was that fortune-hunt-
ers begged him to invest their money,
urged him TO accept loans, and gave
him credit second to none in the city.
At first he coyly refused these fattering
testimonials. but was gradually forced
to relent- and having lived in clover
for a considerable time has just failed
for an enormous sum.

How many apples did Adam and Eve

Some say Eve and Adam "a total
Of 10 only.
Now we figure the thing out far diff
ferentlv. Eve s and Adam 8 also
total, 16.
We think the above figures are en-
tirely wrong. If Eve and Adam SO,
certainly the total will be 80.
Scientific men. however, on the
strength of the theory that the antedi-
luvians were race of giants, reason
something like this-Eve 81 and Adam
S2-total. 163.
Wrong again. What could be clearer
than if Eve 81 and Adam 812, the total
was 500?
l believe the following to be the true
solution: Eve S14 Adam and Adam 1924
Evc-S.02S.
Sill ano.her calculation is as follows:

John IL. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation Of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. BY
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as we'll as
those of greater magnitude.

In 1867. when the great Chancellor
was on a visit to the Paris Exhibition
with his royal master, the King oil
Prussia, he attended Court bail at the
Tuileries. Madame Carotte, the reader
of the Empress Bugenie, as the coA,-
lion was in progress, felt strong in
clination to dance with Count Bis
marcly. and offered him n boluet OF
roses as an intimation that he was Sc
lected as partner for waltz. Bis
marck accepted the invitation, and
danced in fine s.ylo with the beautiful!
Madame Carette, to the admiration of
the Sovereigns and the entire Court.
At the conclusion OF the waltz, Count
Bicmarck took out OF tho buWcn-hole
of his diplomatic dress-coat an artiiic-

partner, saying:
