Miscellaneous
When to Marry.
What the Englith Government hat been Do
ing Some Interettlng Statiitict.
Tlio Brithli Rovcriiincnt some tlmo ngo Is
sued a series of rather novel Instruction to
representatives on tho continent of Europe.
Although unusual In character, it was ex
ceedingly simple, being nothing moro llian
nil order to collect Information ni to tho ear
liest ngo nt which marriages can ho celo
brateil nccorillng to law in tho various
States. The work was done, mid tho sev
eral reports have junt heeu published in tho
form of n parliamentary paper. Without
nny referenco to tho quality of usefulness
which tho information may possess, it is cer
tainly curious. It would seem that tho laws
upon this subject nro not all law) which
havo grown up from a common origin In re
nioto times, but rather that they had been
inailo independently in tho several nations,
and have been modeled, or nt any rato often
Influenced, by ecclesiastical rules. In ma
king this remark wo do not lose sight of
what may bo said about tho customs In Ro
man, Byzantine, and Greek days, but judge
Merely from facts as they nro now.
In Hungary, males may marry at four
teen, and females at twelve, provided they
belong to cither tho Greek or Itoman church
but if they have been brought up as Pro
testants, they must wait till tlioy nro re
spectively eighteen and fifteen ; whereas, in
Austria, persons nro minors until they at
tain tho ngo of twenty-four, and they must
not marry before that time without tho for
mal consent of both their parents. There
is no restriction on tho ground of religion,
however, although children of both sexes
under fourteen nro forbidden to contract
marriages. In Denmark a man may not
marry under twenty, nor a girl under six
teen ; but in tho other part of Scandinavia n
man must bo twenty-one. In Belgium and
France, eighteen and fifteen arc tho respec
tive limits, and in Havana there are not less
than four laws in operation, each having re
ference to a particular district. The ages
fixed by these rango from twclvo to four
teen for girls, and fourteen to eighteen for
boys ior so in truth we must call them.
About two or three and twenty years ago,
a law was passed in Ilesso Darmstadt pro
hibiting males from marrying beforo they
had attained the age of twenty-five, but
this has since been amended, and twenty
one is now the limit. In Switzerland there
is no uniformity nt all, each canton appar
ently having gone its own way iu this busi
ness. Tho ages appointed there range from
twelvo to seventeen for girls, and fourteen
to twenty for tho other sex the lower ages
being always found to obtain iu those dis
tricts where tho old canon laws are still re
spected. In two cantons, people may mar
ry at any age, "after their first communion."
In Greece, tho ages are eighteen and fifteen;
so they are in Itoumania; but in Russia
they are eighteen and sixteen. In Turkey
there, are no laws upon the subject at all ;
but it is worthy of note, remembering the
social affinities of tho Lapps, that in Lap
land boys may marry at seventeen, and
girls at fourteen, provided they have "at
tained the requisite knowledge of the Christ
ian religion."
It does not appear that climate has had
anything to do with tho framing of marriage
laws. But the Church has. It was the ob
ject of the early Church to promote early
marriages, partly, no doubt, on tho ground
of mortality, but partly also for other rea
sons, which we need not attempt to enumer
ate. This influenco still prevails in certain
localities. Since the growth of the civil
authority, there has been an evident tenden
cy to extend the restricted perio4 when mar
riage cannot bo legally solemnized, and this
is duo partly in some places to sanitary con
siderations, and in others to the supposed
requirements of tho military service. We
do not find that any attention has been paid
to this in tho parliamentary paper wo have
referred to, but it is a matter of history in
some countries, and it has been attributed
to it.
We imagine that these returns aro only
preliminary to others of a much more com
plex nature which are to follow. They bear,
of course, directly upon the long-vexed
question of the advantages or otherwise of
early marriages. These, again, aro mainly
of a twofold character tho healthiness of
tho offspring and tho frequency of divorces.
But they aro highly important. Statistics
regarding thaconsequencea of intermarriage
between blood relations are copious enough,
but we know nothing certainly of the effects
of age. It is a question worthy of consider
ation whether there is not in this country a
large fund of information upon the subject,
which, with very little trouble, could bo
made available. We believe there is, and
if the conjecture be correct, there seems to
be no reason why that information should
not bo collected.

THE STATESMAN AND THE ACOP.N.
A statesman once went out into a south
ern torest, nnd lying down beneath un um
brageous oak, placed his carpet bag under
his head and fell asleep. It chanced that
au acorn fell from a bough of tho oak and
struck tne slumberer in the eye. Instead of
discovering tho theory of gravitation, ho at
once iled to the nearest town, telegraphed
to Washington for troops and was elected to
the. senate.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
A Venetian roershant who was lolling in
the lap of luxury was accosted upon the
Ilialto by a friend who had not seen him
for many months. "How is this?" cried
tho latter, "when I last Baw you your gabcr
dine was out at elbows, and now you sail in
your own gondola." "True," replied the
merchant, "but siuco then I havo met with
serious losses and been obliged to compound
with my creditors for ten cents on tho dol
lar."

Charles II., who was as fond of walking as
his brother was of riding, was one day cross
ing the road between Constitution Hill and
Ilydo Park, accompanied by the Duko of
Leeds and Lord Cromarty, when ho was met
by the Duke of York who had been hunting
on Hounslow Heath, and was returning iu
his oach, accompanied by an escort of the
Royal Horse Guards. The Duke i mined!
ately alighted and after having paid his re
tpecU to the King, expressed his uneasiness
at the danger which his Majesty ran In pun
lie so inadequately attended. "No kind of
danger," said the merry monarch, "for I am
sure that uo man tn Knglund will tako away

Walking Horses.
Wo nro glad to notlco that many of our
Western fairs nro offering handsomo premi
ums for tho fastest walking horses, Thcro
is no disguising tho fact that n good walk is
tho most useful gait for general purposes
that a horso can possess, nnd if one-half the
attention were paid to cultivating this gait,
nnd breeding with a view to its transmission,
thaf.is now given to that of training and
breeding trotters, horses that could walk
live miles nn hour would soon bo as abund
ant ns 2:30 trotters niw arc. Tho trouble
now is that tho wholo country is possessed
of a mania for fast trotters, and as soon as
tho colt is broken to halter, in matter
whothor ho bo thoroughbred, Conestoga,
Norman, Clydesdale, Hainblctonlan or Ca
nadian, hols put to trotting. Tho wholo
country is engaged in training trotters, from
the ptowboy In tho field to tho professional
on tho track, to tho utter neglect of that
moro Useful, everyday gait, tho walk, Kvcn
tho importers of draft stallions from Europe
havo caught tho infection, mid, instead of
brlnging'tho best walkers we only hear of
their "great trotting action." It is tlmo tq
put nn end to thit nonsense ; tho gait for n
draft horso is pro eminently n walk, while
nothing amis more to tho ability of the
roadster to mako a long journey in good
tlmo than a walking gait that will carry
him along nt the rato of five miles nn hour.
Ttio first aim, when a colt is broken to tho
harness, should be to educato him to n good
fast wnlk, and after that has been done, if
you can get him to trot fast, so much tho
better. Ouo of tho most successful breed
ers of trotting horses in America has often
remarked to us that ho would not keep a
horse on his place that was not a fast walk
er, and that he had invariably found that
tho fastest walkers mado the fastest trotters.
It is a positive luxury to rido or drivo a
horse that can walk off with you at tho rate
of five miles nn hour. It is such a relief to
feel that when you.case up your horso from
his swinging trot, or lope, that you havo
not como to a stand-still, but you aro yet
making respectable progress. For our own
privnto use ou tho road, the walk is tho gait
which we prizo above all others, and any
thing which promises to increase tho num
ber of fast walkers shall receivo our hearty
encouragement. Spirit) the't Timei.
How to Feed Corn-Stalks PnorEnLY.
Tho rearing and feeding of animals aro re
ceiving i3 they should, from farmers and
herdsmen in all parts of tho country, great
er attention every year j and especially is
this true of dairymen, whose only hope of
gain rests in their success in obtaining pay
ing yields from their cows. Corn-stalks enter
largely into the". fall feed of dairy cows, and
how to feed them is th important question.
Tho common practice is to feed them in the
bundle, as but few farmers' feel able or wil
ling to use a cutting machine. This feed
ing in a bundle, without any preparation, I
am fully satisfied, is very wasteful, as not
only are tho butts left,'but frequently nearly
the whole stalk. I have learned by exper
ience that a little brine sprinkled upon
stalks once every day, just beforo feeding,
is of material advantage in many respects.
Tho weak brine will cause the cows to con
sume nearly all, even when fed whole ; the
flow of milk increases, the condition of
tho cows improves, and they show greater
contentment j especially is the last true on
cold, windy and rainy days. I find it much
better, as a general rule, when it can be
done, to feed salt on the food, instead of
feeding it alone. In no caso should moro
than ono day be permitted to pass without.
Cows should have access to plenty of water;
this brine food will causo them to drink
more, and thus increase tho flow of milk.
Let my brothers try this and they will here
after place a greater value upon corn-stalks.
iV Clean Poultuy House. A clean
sweet fowl house is a very desirable thing.
A. building infested with vermin is a wretch
ed place to confine fowls in; and however
generous may bo their feed and the atten
tion given to their needs otherwise, tho ne
glect to keep tho laying and roosting quar
ters free from lice overbalances all attempts
to maintain poultry in a healthy condition.
Purity and cleanliness are absolutely tsscn
tial to the health and comfort of tho fowls,
guarding them from vermin, and rendering
even narrow quarters comparatively comfort
able. Whitewashing is one of the most im
portant aids to secure these results, and
should be performed twico a year, spring
and autumn, at least, and oftener if neces
sary. Tho best wash is made from fresh
lime Blacked in boiling water, to which is
added one ounce of carbonic acid to every
four quarts of water. Somo say that the
building should be cleared of fowls, closed,
and thoroughly fumigated by burning in it
sulphur or tobacco stems in an iron kettle,
previous to whitewashing, but we have not
found this necessary. Whitewashing every
portion of the interior with the above mix
ture will do the business. Tho lime besides
purifying tho building, covers unsightly
stains on the wall, aud greatly improves the
general appearance of tho room, while the
acid destroys lice, fleas and other vermin.
Dkillino Wheat, There is no doubt
but that a large yield; of wheat or flax or
any other cereal may bo obtained by sow-
iiig in rows and cultivating, I-ess seed
would also be required with this system of
cultivation. It would be a very expensivo
mode, however, of raising grain. The ex
tra yield and the reduction'in the quality of
tho weed would not compensate for tho in
creased amount of labor required to grow
tho crop successfully ; for, unless tho rows
were kept clean by the cultivator, with bo
much open space for weeds to grow in, tho
grain would bo choked and tho yield very
much lessened, Grain.is not cultivated in
this manner to nny great extent. A more
physical system of culture and one largely
practiced is to sow tho grain with n drill,
and after it-has come up nicely aud well
rooted, to go over tho ground with a smooth
harrow (a harrow with fino teeth turned
backward) or any light harrow which will
destroy the weeds just sprouting out of tho
ground, ard at tho same tlmo stir tho soil
and promote tho growth of the crop with
out injuring tho grain.
In a prize essay on tho Butter dairy, Mrs,
J, T, F.llsworth,of llarrc, Mass., says i "One
of the first conditions by which to secure
good butter is, that every utensil used, from
the milk pail to tho butter firkin, or box
must bo kept cleau'and sweet. Pails made
of tin are preferable, but if wooden palls,
and packages or boxes are used and re-used,
they cinbe kept sweet, by thoroughly washing
and cleansing with strong llmo water, scald
ing and drying in the sun, The pans should
be washed in two waters each time, being
made as clean as possible, then scalded with
boiling water, -The churn, butter-tray, la
dle and'butteMvprker, )nilt bo washed and
scalded in the nyuo manner.
