Tho Time 10 Marry.

Physiology fixes with accuracy the
earliest period at which marriage Is
admissible. This period is that nt
which the body attains complete de-
velopmeut, which is not before 90 IN
the female and - in the male. Even
thoethe growth may be completed be-
fore these ages, ossification OF the
bones is not fully effected. so that de-
velopment is incomplete Among most
nations the civil laws fixing the earli-
est date Of marriage seem to have
been made without am reference TO
physiology, or with the mistaken no.
tion that puberty ana nubility are
Identical IL is interesting to note the
different ages established by different
naious for entrance to the marriage
state. The dcgeneratiuS Romans
fixed the ages OF legal marriage at lS
for females and 8 for males. The
Grecian legislator. LyCurgus, placed
the ages at II for the female and 81
for the male Plato fixed the ages
at 20 and 80 years. In Prussia the re-
spective ages are Is and 10; in Aus
tria, l6 and 20; in Prussia, 6 and is,
respectively.

Third Trrm for President

No President OF the United states
has ever held that office for three
terms The Constitution of the Uni
ted States does not forbid il, however,
and there Is no law against II. The
precedent was established by Wash
iuGtou in his refusal to accept third
term and has been adhered To since.
Theodore Roosevelt was President OF
the United States for seven and one
half years. and was n candidate after
the interval OF Taft's administration
for what would have been virtually a
third term; but he had not been twice
elected as President when he ran for
office in 1912; his first administration
merely had finished out the term left
vacant by President Mckinley's death
in 1901. SO that even his much dis
cussed candidacy did not violate the
letter OF the tradition.
