Statistics of Marriage*
Tlio chances at birth that baby wll|
eventually marry are nine In twenty, or
rather less than one-half. This result
may seem surprising, but It Is largely *c
counted for by the great mortality of per
sons under marriageable age, especially of
Infants up to the age of 5. No lower than
thirty-eight per cent of babies die before
they are five years old, and forty-four per
cent of the whole population liefore the
age of 18. In England, as In this country,
according tn belief, the females outnumber
the mnles. Out of every hundred persons
now living, sixty are single, thirty-five are
married, and five arc widowed. Bo that,
on the average, one person In every twen*,
ty you meet In the streets, In tho train, i r
wherever it may be, will be cither a wid
ow or a widower, and three out of five
will be unmarried. In England, an aver
age husband nnd wife on Ihelr wedding
day mny expect to live togelber for twen-
seven years, In France only twenty-slx, In
Holland nnd Belgium twenty-three, but I
Russia thirty. At wluit age do people
marry? The most popular time for a wi.
man to get married is from her twenty
fire! to her twenty-sixth year, Inclusive.
More than one-hnlf of the women who mar
ry at nil marry In these five years of theli
life, nnd nnnthcr qunrter marry In twecii
thq ages of twenty nnd twenty-five, and
not more than u third between the ages o*
twenty-fire and thirty. Tlienvtrage ape
of marrying is Just over twenty-six fn r
women and just under twenty-eight for
men. These figures Include rc-marrlagcs
For spinsters only, tho average ago Is
twenty-five, and for tiauhelora twenty-six
nnd n Imlf It Is a noticeable fact that n
the last ten years, the nverugo age of mar
rying 1ms, for men sod women alike, gone
up half a year. Taking the complete
quarters ending on the last days of March’
June, Beptember, nnd December respect
ively, tho December qunrter Is most pro
lific In marriages, and the spring and sum
mer quarters come next, about equal, with
the March quarter a long way behind.—

Murmy Escapes Severe Punishment
By Promlslnj to leave
New Jersey.
The sentencing yesterday at May’s
Landing, N, J., of Btcphcn Murray, of
Atlantic City, for scalping railroad tickets.
Is another Instance of tho luexornbleness
of lersey justice, and futility of hoping
to tamper with ralhond tickets with Im
punity.
On the craning of August fith. Murray
was arrested In Atlantic City for scalping
Pennsylvania and other railroad tickets.
He pleadud "not guilty,” hut was commit,
e.l to jail In default of $800 hail. He
was brought Into court yesterday under
four distinct lodlctments, and unexpect
edly pleaded guilty under all. He wss
sentenced under one Indictment, anil to
pay u fine of $30 and cost. He also prom*
iseit to leave llie State and revar engage
In ticket scalping again. The other three
ludlctments are held over Ills head ai a
further assurance of good conduct.
The prosecution of this esse was found,
ed on Information furnished by the Penn,
syl /aula Railroad Company. This com
pany has been Instrumental In bringing
other violators of the ticket scalping law
to justice, owing to tho deceptions prac
ticed on llielr patrons, and the annoyances
and inconvenience which they are cause-
luently put to.
The practice of scalping railroad.tlckeU
Is a nefarious one, aud It Is to lie hoped
that the Pennsylvania R. R. will continue
Its go.al work until the Insidious and pal.
palile evil la entirely eradlcnta'1.—Phila

for an abundant yield of each

Question.—Please give me some In*
formation as to grain weevils and moths.
Answih.—The granary weevil, whicb
la probably the one to whloh yon refer,
Is an indoor insect and on aoconnt of
having loot the qse of Its winga doe*
not voutnre oat into the grain fields.
The mature fomale punctures the grain
with Its snont and inserts an egg, from
whloh is hatched a white, fleshy, leg
less, larva, which foeds and develops
within the hnU. Tho adult weevil*
also gnaw into the grain Nhd devour the
mealy Interior and probably do oamuch
damage as the larva.
The Angonmola grain moth Is un
doubtedly one of the most injurious in
sect* that we have In this state infect
ing the grains. It doos not confine It-
solf to the grain stored lu crAsaud bins,
bnt also nttacks standing grain in tho
fluid*. The first whito, but soon red
eggs, are deposited between tho rows of
grain of the oars of 00m either siugly
or in clusters of about two dozen, both
in tho Hold and in the granary. From
these eggs are hatchod, in four or five
days, minute caterpillars which burrow
Into the kernels anil devour the starchy
interior. In about three weeks t|ilil
caterpillar reaches maturity, enters tho
chrysalis stago, and In a fow day*
emerges a* a winged moth, the fomalol
of which proceed to dopo«lt eggs for an
other brood. Thorc nro five or ail
broods during one season, and they
hibornato In the grain os caterpillars.
A cheap and effectlvo remedy for in>
■eots Injurious to stored grniu is fumi
gating with btsulphtdo of carbon. Tbs
bins shonld Ikj mado ns noarly airtight
as posslblo by tho use of boards aud
heavy blankets; tbon the liquid should
be poured into several small dishes dis
tributed over the grain, using from I
to I t* pound, for every 100 linshols ol
grain. Thu liquid evaporates vory rap
idly, and tho gas being hoavior than the
air desoends and permeates the wholo
mass of corn, killing all Insoct Ufa with
which It comos in contact. Tha bln
should be kept closed fur six hours of
more, and then tha ooverlug removed
and tho doors and ventilators opened.
Disulphide of carbon is poisonous uud
highly in flammable nod flro in any shape
should not he brought near it. It. how
ever, does not injnre tho edible or germi
nating principles of the grain anlosi
used in greet excess.
Hoping tbnt this Is tho information
desired, J remain,

Fertiliser Terms In tine.
Question. — 1. Is the term (very
handy) "ash oloment" now ' in ch«
In the fertilizer trade mid does It
mean acid phosphuto aud kainit, or uuy
form of |K)tash'/
2. I rend about “South Carolina rock”
and don't know If It has boon treated
with sulphuric acid or not. Am I right
In saying that "floats” Is the finely
gronud South Carolina rook and aciil
phosplmto the saino (floats) treated
with sulphnrio acid, not necessarily
ground to fine?
8. Is "acid phosplmto” practically
identical with tne old "superphosphate
of lime,” except that bnrnt bone was
used instead of South Curoliua rook?
Anhwxr.—1. Tho term "ash element"
never has beon nsed in the fertilize!
trade. It simply means the aahoa left
upon homing any plant. Such oshai
contain some phosphoric acid, some
potash and also othor suits that have
boon taken np by tbo plant from th«
soil. Thorc Is, of course, no nitrogou
In tho ashes, that olement being driven
off by the heat of combustion.
2. The term "South Carolina rock'' im
plies that it has not beon treated wltb
acid. After such treatment It is known
as uoidulatod Sonth Carolina rook, ol
add phosphate. Floats is the natural
South Carolina rock, gronnd to a fine
powder.
8. The torm "acid phosphate" simply
meant acid phosphate of lime, and it
Identical with the term auperphosphati
of lime, it being immaterial from whal
source tho phosphoric acid is dorived.—
