WHEN MOST GIRLS rlARRY
Columbia's Daughters Have rlore
Chances Than Their Euro
pean Cousins.

For the comforto of the American
women of marriageble age it may
be stated that their prospects are
much better than those of women
in the older countries. According
to an authoritative statistician
there are in the United States. as
whole, 965 women to every 1000
men, while in all Europe there are
l,Ol9 women to every 1000 men.
The proportion in the different
European states is, however. vari-
able. A woman's prospect of mar
riage is distinctly affected by age.
The statistics of all countries show
that the great majority of women
marry between the ages of twenty
and thirty. Before reaching twenty
woman has, of cours, a chance of
matrimony, but the objections
raised by parents or friends to mar
riage at tender age frequently
outweigh the desire of the young
woman to acquire a husband, and
lead her to defer the wedding day.
All the statistics that have been
gathered in the United States bear
out the statement that woman's s
best chance to marry is at the age
of twenty-five. that over six-tenths
of the marriages take place be-
tween twenty and thirty, and con
sequently that woman's chance
increases up to twenty-five, and
steadily decreases after that age
until it reaches the vanishing point
somewhere about sixty.-Ladies'
Home journal.

THE MODERN JURY.

There is a wide difference of
opinion among the members of the
bar as to what should be reckoned
the qualifications of n Juror, says
the Durango Herald. A great
many of the learned counselors
seem to think that if man reads
the daily papers, keeps posted as
to what is going forward in the
world, it makes no difference how
cool his judgment, how nice his
discernment, how fair and impair
tial his sense of justice, how abso-
lutely incorruptible his integrity,
such man must not be tolerated
on jury. He must stand aside
He must make way for his neigh
Dor who lives the life. of vegeta-
BILE; who doddles along, day in and
day out, and thinks of nothing on
earth save where his next meal is
coming from; who never reads the
papers and who is never. never
guilty of having an opinion; who
would not grasp new idea if it
were to come up and bite him.
This last fellow would be the man
of all men fora great many law
yers' jury. Your good citizen.
your clean, we'll read man of af-
fairs, would have to stand aside
for the zaney every time-if some
oracles of the courts were allowed
their way. And there are altogeth-
er too many of these believers in
the twelve zaney jury, of late.
Every celebrated case that comes
up, the reflex of this wooden-head-
ed jury manifests itself. Where
for the state or the county or the
national government, MS the case
may be, is put to all sorts of ex-
pense bringing scores upon scores
of veniremen to the bars of lust
ice that they may be questioned
and sifted, and questioned and
sified again, as the lawyers seek to
rule out all who are guilty of read
ing the news, or allowing their
brains TO frame ideas.
