AND DIVORCE.

~ has just issued q comprehensive compila-
tion OF marriage and divorce statistics
e2 from all over tho world. which furnishes
much Information Of interest.
Hungary aloneS Of civilized countries
leads the Omitted States in number Of an
ANAL marriages In proportion to marriageable popula-
tea. with 33s weddings to every 10000 unmarried
adults. Saxony follows closely with $50, while Ireland,
laid wasts and pitifully poor from British oppression.
= at the foot Of the list with but 1925.
The United States average II 357. New England and
C~alfornia rank shout $50. Therefore. It appears that
the coast States, - usual. are leaving their burden Of
ned eitissnship 70 the Mississippi valley.
The Increase OF divorce IL shown by the fact that in
1870 bst one decree was granted for every 1883 MARI
ried psSsens, while In 1900 there was one divorce to
every 10 married couples. Illinois has been unde-
ssrvsdly accused In this respect, since the figures show
lhA etetes o. Warrington and Delaware away in the
lead. while Illinois IL only twenty-fourth in respect Of
the number o. divorces granted. and South Dakota IL
but twsntysecond. Big cities lead the country dis
tricts By Z comparatively small percentage.

There never has been and never can be
any nxed rule for the mating OF human beings. Ages
age parents were the sole arbiters Of the marital des-
tinies OF their daughters. They gave In wedlock when
and where and to whom they pleased, and the daugh-
tiers had nothing to do with the bargain.
Tho matter Is one in which there is pretty nearly
Independence of thought and action on the part Of
American girls. Parents may try as they will to shape
their daughters love affairs to conform to their own
ideas. but It is a rare case in which they succeed-and
even then success on the part OF the parents is not a
guarantees Of the girls happiness. It has been esti-
mated that . woman's chances OF marriage begin to d.
minish at the twenty-fourth year and decline rapidly
t. the thirtieth year. when they have almost disap-
peared. Tho period of greatest expectation is from 10
