IS THE UNMARRIED STATE UNHEALTHFUL ?
This question is by no means a new one. As long ago as 1863 Farr asserted, after a study of the statistics of France for that year, that marriage is a healthy estate." Starr, registrar-general of Scotland, went further and declared his opinion that! bachelor life is much more destructive to males than the most unwholesome trade or the most insanitary residence. Frederick L. Hoffman, after citing both these state- ments, makes an interesting attempt in The Spectator to verify them by an analysis of statistics of the census of 1900. After tabulating his results he states his con- clusions as follows;
These tables, limited to essential facts and to periods rather too long for life- insurance purposes, conclusively show that (1) the mortality of the single of both sexes
is higher than the mortality of the married,
and at all periods of life, except ages 15.to

Dear Little Mosquito.
Dr. Louis Sambon, in an article on the malarial mosquito, the Anopheles, ro- marks that the habit of sucking blood is an acquired habit confined to the female Anopheles. The male ineect will at times alight on a hand held perfectly still, and will probe about with its scutoria' mouth, as if inclined to bite, but will invariably fail to do so. In a species of Culex, on the contrary, the male and female are both bloodsuckers, and are equally voracious, But the Anopheles ought really to become, or rather to remain, vegetarians. The juices of sliced fruit will keep them alive and perfectly happy to all appearance for several months. The pernicious habit of sucking blood into which the female falls— and which may end in the destruction of the race by arousing man's destructive energies-is probably connected with the

Sir Charles Dilke condemned spending more on the Army than on the Navy which should be the first national consideration. Mr Brodrick replied that the object of the Army Corps syston was to establish a tandard by which the War Office could work if it wore ever again necessary to send a vast force abroad. The alternative of the existing scheme was not Volunteers. It was preposterous to imagine us depending on a citizen army.
Major Seeley interrupting stigmatised the referénce to volunteers as a gross per- version of what he said.
Mr Brodrick admitted that recruiting had given him the greatest possible anxiety.but he was confident of an improvement. Last year was the biggest recruiting year he had yet had.
Mr Brodrick, in reply to Sir Howard Vincent prior to the debate, said the Volunteers bad decreased since 1901 by forty thousand. The deficiency in officers
