this country are destined to die unmarried ,
whether they wish to or not.
Leaving divorces out ot the question and
the possibility which la very alight , ot the
husband and wife dying together , It Is In
evitable that In every case ot marriage , there
will be left , sooner or later , a widow or a
widower. More widowers < than widows re
marry , and , because ot this fact , the number
of women who mirry must exceed the actual
number of married men. The rule eeemn to
tie that ono widower In three and ono widow
In four try wedlock a second lime. Ot 100
marriages about thirteen ct the men will bo
widowers and eleven of the women will be
widows. This leaves eighty-seven bachelors
and clghty-nlno spinsters wed.
Old Welter's advice , "Bevare of the vld-
dcrs , " Is more humorcus than sound. Stalls ,
tics prove -that tha wldowi not only do not
monopolize the eligible men , but that they
are not even dangerous rivals to the maidens
In the matttmon'al market. Eachelcrs ehould
make a note ot the fact that there Is more
tp be fcarej from qno spinster than from fif
teen widows' ; widowers , however , stand an
equal chance with bachelors In. winnlagi
wiyos. . '
No forlune ' < ellcr or" palm r'cadcf , no boaaV
Ing Qlendonc'r nor communer1 with splflts cau
equal the statistician when It comes to the
question ot marriage. Out of every 100 wed
dings lu any of our cities , or , we might add *
In any part of our country , nineteen will be
minors , and all the mlnoM but one will be
a spinster In her teens. The others' wlfT
be men and women ; the average'age of the
former will be 29.5 and of the latter 25.46.
Thla might prove that bachelors 'are ' more
cautious than spinsters , but It Is , no doubt ,
duo to the fact that girls are'regarded as
marriageable at 16 or 17 , and men not till
af er 21. Forty-three out of every hundred
spinsters that marry are between 20 and 95 ,
twenty-two are between 25 and' ' 30 and : the'
remainder , seventeen , are between 30 and
80. But while women marry earlier than
men , they are also stricken from itho ellglblq
list at an earlier age , though still feeling
that while .there Is life there Is hope , Tho"
number of women who marry under 25 la
twlco as great as the number ot men who
marry at ( that age ; but , after the ago ot ,
45 , three times as many men marry for the
first time. Widows remarry at an average
age of 39 , and widowers at 41.
The following table , compliedf from ourv
last census report , can be relied on. In every
1.000 marriages the ages ot tbe > brides and
groc-nu arc as follows : <

bo noted that after.the _ agc'of 30 In both
sexes , the desire , as1 well as thcopportunlty ,
for marriage- falls off'Tnpldjy. . - f
U Is estimated that 'n any ot our older
settled Btutcs ' the number of marriageable
but unma'rrled women between the ages ot
16 and 45 Is abo'ut 20 per cent of the women
living between these ages. If this estimate
be correct , the number of unmarried but
marriageable women now living tn Greater
New York 4a about 165,000 , while the' num
ber ot unmarried men between the ages ot
21 and GO 4s 172,000.
The truth Is that every woman living In
this country , who Is between the ages ot
1C and 45 , has four chances to one of getting
married ; 25 out of every 100 must go through
life husbandlfss. Neither managing
mammas qor.tho right ot .suffrage can alter
this. There may be some comfort the
thought that there are so many unfortunate
men In the same condition as to wlvea.
„
U Is a sad fact that In the United States
at this time the number of splnste'ra between
the ages ot 45. aqd' 6fToutnumber { he bach
elors of the sazpe aga as-6 to 1. A brief
survey of any community In the northern or
southern states wlU demonstrate the truth
ot this statementr . >
The civil war Is reponilble for this state
ot affairs. Ot the nearly 600,000 soldiers who
died on both sldM 90 per cent were young ,
unmarried men. Had there been no war a
largo majority of tbese men would have
been marrledfHflnd So'It comes about that
the many old maids over 45 , and some of
them under thatlgc , are the brevet widows
If we may be nardoned the phrase ot the
men who felf'rd1 battle on both sides , or
who. In grea'.tctnjmben , perished In hospi
tals and prisons. To this nebo | array ot
women every itfUft , American must raise his

I do 'not preteBa that all the sights ot
Paris and Its environs can be seen on an
average ot two and half franc * a day for
cab fares , but the Luxembourg , the Louvre ,
the Trocadcro , the Hotel do Vlllo , the Palata

Damp , the Hotel deCluny and many another

walker at no coat whatever , but you must
learn to take your slight lunch at a bake

fulness ot spirit , while you dream ot Julius

you for Its past than for Its present.
Ten dollars will pay the coat ot taking
your bicycle abroad with you , and then
Versailles and Fontalnebleau and the Bola
do Boulogne and many another Interesting
environs will be possible to you , and you
may go , as I did , for a three-days' trip to
the quaint little village ot Plcrrefonds , with
Ita beautiful , grand , gray old castle , halt
palace -and half fortress , the most complete
of the eelgnorlal constructions at present
extant. The wheels of our party were the
flrst that had ever entered Its spacious court ,
and wo looked with awe ut the tower of
Alexander , 200 feet above us , with minds
wandering back among the centuries.
Piorretonds was not found In any Itinerary
of voyage until lately , but there are few
spots within sp rhort a distance of Paris BO
well worth seeing. It is possible for a good
rider to make the whole distance awheel , but
the road between Paris and Compc-Igne Is
none of the bett , and a train will take you
to the latter place , from whence you can
wheel to Plerrcfonds , ten miles through the
