quote from the census report: "In 1900, of the total male population of the mainland of the United States 15 years and over, 40.2 per cent are single, 54.2 per cent are marked, 4.6 per cent are widowed, three-tenths of one per cent divorced, and four-tenths of one per cent are unknown The.cOrrespOnd- ing figures for females 15 years of age and over are SIP per cent single, 56.9 percent married 1l-2 per cent widow ed, tive-tenths of one per cent un- known. Acomparison of these figures shows that the proportion of single is much smaller for females than for males, but that the proportions for married, widowed, and divorced are much larger among females; especial ly that for widowed"
 The proportion of divorced to mar ried, as shown by the returns of the census of 1900, is somewhat larger than the proportion based upon similar data or 1890; that is, the number of persons in 1900 as divorced represents seven UCuUIlO Ol OIIC POl SOhO Ol Ol1C "lAO1C number of persons reported in the same census as married, as against five tenths of one per cent according to the census retuns of 1890. This increased proportion of divorced to married is common to all elements of the pOpula- tion in 1900, and, as in 1900, the largest proportion is found among the negro population. The proportion of divorced to married is larger for females than for males in 1900, as it was in 1890, but how much is due to more correct re- turn on the part of women can not be stated. These proportions, relatively considered: show that divorce is increa- sing rather than decreasing, but the extent to which it has increased during the ten years can not be deter mined from the censu, returns" "
 It may be of interSt to know that of 454 ,294 males in Connecticut, in 1900, 249, 54s were reported as single, 176,660 as married, 16,361 as widowed, ], ,O57 as divorced, and 66S as unknown; and of the 424, 126 females, ,238, 453 were single, 173, 524 married, ,3S7 widowed, 1,459 divorced, and 3O3 condition unknown.
 Statistics aim only to give certain facts; and in this matter of marriage and divorce confessedly fail to furnish the data we want. Indeed, it would be we'll nigh impossible to get reliable information in multitude of cases. A t best the figures given simply indicate

DEATH RATE DECREASING.

The 1900 census shows decrease of 10 per cent in the general death rate. The decline in consumption is more marked than any other disease. Many causes are attributed, but it is safe to say that Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds is re- sponsible for the decline, to a large extent. Many life has been saved by it's use. There is nothing anywhere just as good for lung and throat troubles. It's positively y guaranteed by Tor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; B. Hawley, Sherman; A. w.

It would be incongruous and incon- venient to celebrate the fourth of July at Christmas, and Christmas on the fourth of July.
