The Houston Business League mas
determined upon a. great advertising
project, the details OF which, we are
gra'vely Informed, cannot yet be given
out. That is queer beginning. An
advertising scheme that cannot be adj
yertised will, of course, make people
curious to know what it Is and In
that way attract the widest attention.
II the Business League will believe us,
the best advertising project In Hous-
ton is the Houston Post We hate to
say y, because the Post is the lncar-
nation OF pure cussedness; but 1T mas
really advertised it's town more than
al the commercial bodies in the town

THE AGE THEY MARRY.

While Mr.. Durand's men are count
ing everything from the number OF
people who are not In Atlanta TO the
number of dairy cows in Illinois. the
English have caught the census fever
and have been making some spectac-
ular efforts to show that the Amer
leans are not the only people who can
iuggle figures.
One of their statisticians recently
noticed a great many single women in
London and began to wonder how
many English women really married.
His estimate of the total number,
based on the tax returns. is so un-
reasonable that 1t must be rejected
at the start, for he says that only
10 women the thousand get married;
but his estimate as to the age OF mar
riage is much more reasonable, and is
obviously correct. According TO him,
the English woman does not marry
when she is young. and, indeed. has a
better chance of getting Il companion
for life If she wait until the shadows
of spnsterhood begin to fall From
70 to 29s one woman in eight marries;
or, in other words, a woman who is
% can gamble that her chances OF
finding husband before she is 80 are
one in eight The next most popular
period OF life for marriage is from
20 to "a, during which time one girl
in 10 finds man who is willing TO pay
her bills. Below this age. there are
few girls who can get married or who
are willing TO take a husband, since in
only one marriage in 10 that occurs
is the girl younger than 20.
Remarkable as 1t may seem, women
who would be classed as old maids in
this country and doomed to lasting
singleness are by no means hopeless
in England. One woman in % mar
ries between the ages of 80 and "a,
one in % after she reaches 80 and be-
| fore the fat and fair age comes; from
40 to "A. one lone woman in 5s finds
an .unsuspecting husband, to the one
fresh girl in rs who marries under
90 Even in the dismal days between
So and Cd, one woman in 365 marries
for the first time, having been among
the fortunate-or mnfortunate-in the
previous mating.
The cynical may suggest various
reasons for this state OF affairs, and
may attribute the frequent marriage
of aged spinsters to design; but fol-
our part we think the age at which
| men are able TO marry in England is
! the true explanation. 1t Is a we'll
known fact that in England only {
men in the thousand earn at any time
| moro than $1,000 the year. This fact
| naturally limits the total number OF
marriageable men and postpones the
/ time at which man can afford tc
marry Young men who love girls Of
! their own age find it impossible tt
marry; men who can afford to marry
are generally beyond 80. and hence Dc
| not choose very yonng wives. Ever
the older men, who reach the poin
of atiluence where they can afford tt
| take unto themselves wives. prefer
women of mature tastes, nearer thei1
own age. The race is for the patient
not for the swift.

THE MOSQUITO PEST.

Already some of our exchanges
are beginning to bewail the mosquito
pest, and are printing dismal stories Of
Its ravages We are told that the
mosquito has come with the first hot
weather; that he hides himself by day
In decent mems cellars and ventures
forth when night falls; that he IN
vades the bed chamber and sings
about the ears of a sleepy man; that
he gets beneath the gauze netting and
cannot be dtsodged by all the arts
of war. He is depicted, In pitiful
phrases, as somewhat larger than a
leather-wing bat, with a fang far
longer and more piercing than that
OF any rattlesnake. Unless he be driv-
en- away, our brethren say. life will
not be worth the living, and even the
joys of vacation will be turned to
mourning.
Resting blissfully on these peaceful
hills where no mosquitoes ever come,
and tanning ourselves with the zephyrs
borne to us by the fayoring winds. we
people of Richmond can afford to laugh
at the rest of the world, Mosquitoes
are unknown here, and the few which
visit us are brought In the trains from
Charleston and other pest-ridder
spots, The average MOSQUITO which
comes TO Richmond feels SO lnuci
ashamed Of himself at venturing int
such hallowed precincts that he dare'
not bite. but flies away at the frs
