Apes OF French Brides.

The Hachette Almanac for the cur
rent year gives some very interesting
statistics as to the ages of brides in
France. Only thirteen out Of LOO
young women marry between the ages
of Is and 90. From 20 to 25 years
the average is sixty out of 100. The
further from her twenty-Gfth year the
maid. travels the simmer are her
chances for marriage; still up to 80
years the nuptial chimes ring out for
twenty-five out OF 100.
Maids from 80 to 35 years old have
twelve chances in 100; from IS to 40
years six, and from 40 to 45 years
only five in 100. There is only one
lucky female in 100 who marries when
between 45 and so years old.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that after SO oblivion covers the hearts
of "belated maids" Even between
the years of GO and G5 there is o
chance for one maid among 365.
The strongest competitors maids
have to encounter are the widows, for
they marry with equal it not better
chances than their single sisters.

every day. Noble quantity says, "She
occasionally yet offered the Protector
advice, which he always heard with
great attention, but acted as he judged
proper" 1t is pleasant to think that
this fine old lady died happily before
her sons power began to wane. 1t is
pleasant to think OF the Great Protec-
tor kneeling to receive her dying
blessing, and of her last smiling words
to him and his children-"A good
night, dears" There is vet portrait
of her at Hinchinbrooke, which shows
US handsome woman, with face full
of character, and o rather melancholy
expression. Her dress is that of
gentlewoman of the time-a white satin
hood, pearl necklace, and a necker-
chief edged with rich lace. The man
tie is of green satin edged with gold
lace, and fastened with jeweled
clasp. Amelia Barr, in Harper's Mag
