These latter influences caused unloading
of cotton and scalping of short sales.

there real evidence of recuperative en-

remaf kable feature of tie services is .hdt
they are often conducted while the public

There are two or three instances of pub

Single Life Set Forth in Depressing
Figures.

from the Philadelphia Medical Jeurnal)
The ceIibate tendency of the modern
woman is beginning to worry the vital

Investigating the subject. and finds that

figures are simply appalling N the good

young women would already nave been

fact seems to De that there is tendency

mart Of both sexes II he case of women
trs postponemeut is too often fatal and
H. the case OF men it gets 20 be a bad
habit. But the evil being recognized. and
reduced to figures. the next natural thing
90 do is to seek for the causes OF it.
Several theories have been advanced to
account for this increasing unpopularity
Of marriage. The statement that young
men have become more shy and embdr-
rassed IN the presence of the modern go
ahead girl may have some truth IN IL.
The present tendency is undoubtedly to
cultivate self-s-ssuranCe and Independence
In young women and to encourage them
10 be become self-suppoTting- Many ave
vues are open TO them: they can make
comfortable living and enjoy life. Many
a woman, in fact. can make better liV-
ing for one than the maturity OF young
men can make Tor TWO iWltu prospects
Of more) This situation tends to check
marriage in two ways: First. 1t makes
the women more independent Of men. and.
therefore. in the second place. perhaps
frine less attractive 20 them. Marriage
is an odd affair anyhow. II Is largely
physical business at the start based upon
Il delicate emotional instinct; and all the
logic and reason OF progressive age can
not alter the fact. The pushing and BUSH
less-!ike modern woman IS not conducivs
10 it,
The competition and the stress Of mod
ern life arc deterrent to mltrimony.
Everyone can see this is in his daily OBJ
servation. How few men are able proper
ly to marry before they are thirty-hve or
forty But by this time the girl compan-
ions of their youth are almost fitted to be-
came grandmothers. We would suggest
tfMr Wright that he should write UP
the statistics of bachelors-both young
and old III any of the latter can be foundl.
IN France a law has been introduced into
the Senate to tax all celibates over the
age of thirty. and all married couples who
remain childless after five years. We
heartily approve of this plan. Let these
people contribute to the support of other
peoples families. If they persist in not
having any of their own.
