NEVER TOO OLD TO MARRY
British Statistics Record the Entry
Into Connubia Bliss Of a Man
at the Age Of Ninety-TWo.

Some curious facts are revealed In
the registrar generals report OF
births, marriages and deaths in 1917
says London Tit-Bits.
Whereas most of the marriages used
to take place in July, August and Sep
TENDER, the favOrite months now are
October, November and December.
Widows remarry in great numbers. Al
though young war widows affected the
figures, 1t is clear that the war was
not wholly responsible, for the total be-
gan to increase in 1912. Widowers,
too, show an increasing tendency to
take the second wives.
The youngest bachelor to marry was
fifteen, and the youngest spinster, four
teen. No fewer than 80 males mar
ried at the age of sixteen, and $50 at
the age of seventeen. Twenty-six spin
sters married at the age of fifteen, one
of them to a widOwer; 1877 women
were sixteen when they married, and
of l 200 marrying at seventeen, Is mar
rled widOwers.
The earliest second marriage Of
males was at the age of nineteen. and
three widows remarked at the age Of
eighteen. OF thirty-nine men marry
ing when they were turned eighty, only
one, aged eighty-one, had never tasted
the Joy of matrimonial bliss previous
ly, the rest being widowers; but out
of nine women marrying beyond that
age two were spnsters. The oldest
man to be married was widOwer of
ninety-twO, and the two oldest women
were aged eighty-fve, one widow and
one a Spinster.

CARRYING Alaska Mail.

1t takes the dog-sled mail to get
through. Alaskan huskies may not
start out at so miles an hour, like At
lantic tliers, but they always arrive,
though terrific billiards may intervene
between one post office and the next.
In the last two and half months they
completed their 1,S00-mile route-the
length of the Mackenzie river-from
Fort McMurray in Alberta to the ter
minus. 40 miles south of the Arctic
coast, and if they came in 10 days
late they did not once turn back
New York Post.

THE ROYAL WELcHERs.
They forced the game. they stacked tn


They forced the game. they stacked the
cards,
They lost-and scorned to pay.
All honest men expected it
The bad old Prussian way.
The Day" they launched their Dance
of Death
The world was filed with woe,
And now the PIPER must be paid.
But not by them-Oh, no!
No longer boastful do they feel,
But mourn within their gates
The billions that they hoped to steal
From these United States.
The whole world was to bow to them,
And we the most of all.
Too high was their Icarian fight,
And deadly was their fall!
So now sneak out to meet your fate,
You HohenZollerns twain,
You Ludendorffs and Hindenburgs
And Mackensens so vain.
Won Tirpitz and the whole vile crew,
Step forth in your disgrace.
And at the court of God and man
Meet Justice face to face

Teachers Of Agriculture.

The demand for properly trained
men to teach agriculture in secondary
schools is greater than the supply and
from present indications, will continue
TO increase for some time. Hitherto,
comparatively few men have studied
agriculture with the deliberate inten-
tion of teaching it as a life work. In
consequence, while provision for agrl-
cultural education has been greatly
developed the number of teachers is
still small.
This subject is discussed in the Ag
Ticultural Education Monthly, publish
ed by the department 1t points out
that a good teacher of agriculture
must. of course, have all the fundamen-
tai qualifications. He must know his
special subject and must also be vers
ed in the science of education and the
art of teaching. Those already quail
flied to teach general subjects in sec
ondary schools who wish 10 teach az,
rlculture should If possible, take al
least a course extending over several
years in the State agricultural colleges
Those who cannot leave their positions
can with very little trouble or expense
take courses during the summer vaca.
ton or short courses during the win
ter.
A great deal Of practical agriculture
may also be learned by attending H.
stitutes and other farmers meetings.
If no such meetings are held in the
teachers district, he can assist in or
Eanizing them. Though their primary
purpose may be to aid the farmer,
receptive man can not fail to learn
much from the speakers that are in
vited 70 attend. In some states spec.
ial sessions Tor teachers OF agriculture
are held in connection with state or
county associations Of teachers. Such
offer an opportunity for ey-
change of ideas and for keeping in
touch with new methotI and offer
stimulus and inspiration which the
man can not afford TO neg

Origin of Atmosphere eoeanaaek, to
Events Occurring Tens dpUaE
lions of Years Ago.

If we recall tho. teaching of geology
earth was once too hot to sustain life,
we shall see that the mixture of gases
that covers the solid surface Of the
earth, and that we Familiarity call air,
must have had very interesting his
tory. According TO one widely accept
ed theory of the earth's origin, all
that we know now as the solid earth,
and all the liquid matter that now
fills the ocean beds was once gas
eous. The gases of the atmosphere
are simply composed of these particu-
lar elements which are gaseous M

earths surface which have not en-
tered into complete combination with
the solid matter of the earth's crust,
and which have not been whisled
away into space by centrifugal force.
this being the fate that is supposed
to have hefallen the former atmosphere
Of the moon. and some of the lighter
constituents of our own atmosphere.
In the past when the earths temper
allure was much higher, and when
many other conditions were different,
it is more than probable, for instance,
that, long before man appeared, the
proportion Of carbon dioXide in th(''air
was much higher than at present. This
would account for the extreme lux
uriance of vegetation, to which
every lump Of coal bears witness, the
carbonic acid of the air being one Of
the most important constituents of the
food of plants Again, it is quite GER
tain that, at very much more remote
period, which must certainly date
back tens of millions Of years, the
temperature of the enrth's surface
was so hot that water could not oc-
cur in its liquid form. At that time
one of the most important and album
dant constituents of the earth's at-
mosphere was gaseous water, or water
