those men who had previous entry, it
means that one-fourth of the home-

MARRYING LATER IN LIFE.
The tendency toward a decreased birth
rate is apparent here as -elesewhere, but
not in an exceptional degree. One of
the causes undoubtedly is that people
are marrying later in life. In 1902 the
bride's average age iu Huron County
was 26, in. Hamilton 25.5, in London
25.3, in Ottawa 25.2 and iu Toronto 24 3.
The groom's average age in these munici-
palities was 29. The average age of the
bride's two or three generations ago was
a good deal nearer twenty than 25; and
there are many svho will differ from the
opiuiou that the postponement of the
marriage age has been a social evil. A
young woman of 25 or 30 is better fitted
for the serious duties of matrimony than
one of 20; and the seine argument rap -
plies to the other sex. If the decrease
of the birth rate were due only to this
cause there would be no reason for
alarru. Mr. Williams sees other causes—
the repudiation of religious sanctions,
loss of veneration for the sacred charac-
ter of marriage and the craving for
social pleasnre. These are themes for
the moralist and sociologist, but our
point is that the statistical records of the
Province are too imperfect to be employ-
ed with much confidence in a discussion
of the question.—London Advertiser.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
At the last meeting of the Toronto
Humane Society, Dr. Goldwin Smith, in
his characteristic manner, put in a ham-
amtarian plea for dumb animals. He
condemned vivisection excepting so far
as science can demonstrate its necessity,
aud this is a mild protest, though a
strong one. The awf al cruelty of vivi-
section is undeniable and inevitable, and
the practise of it cannot but have a de-
teriorating effect on those who resort to
it. Whether his protest is likely to be
effective or not, it is to Dr. Smith's credit
that he has made It, and it will perhaps
encourage others to take a like stand.
Whatever may be said in defence of
vivisection, as a means of discovering
useful scientific truth not otherwise ob-
tainable, no such plea in bar of condem-
nation can be entered in the case of mu-
tilating horses, which is done solely to
gratify a false taste as regards the ani-
mal's appearance. This may be said
also of overhead checking, which ts hard-
ly less cruel to the horse. Both prac-
tices tend to make him less efficient in
service, and to make him less elegant in
