Fewer Second Marriages.

London.-The detailed vital statis-
tics for 1910 show that both the birth
and the death rate in England and
Wales continue to decline. and that
marriages are relatively fewer and
are. generally speaking. contracted
later in life than they used to be.
Another interesting fact brought out
is that the proportion of persons who
make a second venture in matrimony
is steadily declining. Thus while id
the years 1s76-S0 the number of Wild

Have we 1t not on record that when
Mary, Queen of Scots. as a child of
eight years, met her mother at Rouen,
the little queens reply to the ma

What factions continued to exist in
the noble families of Scotland?" and
whether the English still harassed
her native country; whether worship
remained pure ana the prelates and
clergy did their duty?"
At eleven she quotes Plutarch, and
1t twelve she writes an essay on the
demeanor and duties of princes,
couched in the language of an elderly
statesman. Yet, though brilliant
woman, who can say that Mary Stu
