Saft is often used on asparagus

If you are between twenty and
twenty-five years old your chances
are the best possible, for more than
one-half OF the women who marry
In New York City do so between these
years, or, 10 be more exact, fifty-one
and two-tenths out of every hundred.
The next most favorable matri-
monial period covers the following
Eve years from twenty-five to thirty,
when there takes place the weddings
OF sixteen women out of every hun
bred who marry, or sixteen per cent.
Then comes the i've years above,
from thirty to thirty-fiye, when the
figures drop two, or fourteen out OF
one hundred.
Then to get the next highest fig
ures one must so back to the earliest
years Of the records. which show that
out Of every hundred women married
thirteen are between fifteen and
twenty years old. But the most sud
den decline OF all is found upward
from thirty-fiye to forty, for in those
years only three out of each hundred
women who marry are four', or
eleven per cent. less than during the
1--WE years under thirty-fyc.
From forty the percentage falls
on gradually there being two women
married out Of each hundred between
their fortieth and forty-ffth years;
then Ia the next 1--WE years, up to
fifty, the records show that only one
woman out OF two hundred marry,
or one-half OF one per cent.
From the ages Of nifty to ifty-six
there is a falling on to one-hfth Of
one per cent. or one married woman
out OF each Eve hundred married.
There are few brides after the fifty
sixth year, only one out Of each one
thousand women marrying, or one
tenth OF one per cent,-New York

The Miracle Of Self confidence
By oRIsoN SWEEP MARDEN.

II was said that Napoleon's pres
enes in battle doubled the strength
Of his forces. Half the effectiveness
Of an army resides in the soldiers
faith in their leader, When the lead
er doubts, hesltates, wavers the whole
army is thrown into confusion; but
his confidence doubles the assurance
Of every man under him
The mental faculties, like soldiers,
must believe in their leader-the un-
conquerable will. The mind of the
doubter, the hesitator. the wayerer,
the man who is not sure Of himself,
who thinks he is not equal to what he
has undertaken, is set toward failure,
and everything works against him.
There is weakening all along the
line
In an emergency, as in danger,
man can often perform feats OF great
strength which he could not even APP
proximate in cold blood. Accusing
a man multiplies his power tremen-
dously. Think Of what delicate men
and women, even invalids, have &C
complished when dominated by some
supreme occasion or a mighty passion.
The imperlous must" gives added
strength and unusual power to all the
faculties. So a great self-faith, an
unwavering sslf-conhdence, braces up
the entire man, physically, mentally,
morally. It raises him to HIS highest
power, and makes him do with ease
what would be impossible without
this wonderful stimulus.
An overmastering faith in oneself
often enables comparatively ignorant
men and women to do marvellous
things--feats which sensitive, timid.
