mantle writer as Haggard thoroughly en
Joys. -The Haggard household consists of
the novelist, his charming wife, their two
little daughters, half a dosen servants and
several big dogs of the mastiff breed. The
master of Ditchlngham House does very
tittle literary work in summer, and his
mornings are spent in looking after tha
affairs of his farm or imshootiog. He la
an excellent marksman and is quite a pic
turesque figure as he strolls through his
game preserves clad in a brown shooting
jacket and knickerbockers and with his
double barreled shotgun ready for use the
instant a grouse breaks cover. He has a
tall, athletic, sturdy figure, the flush of
health is on bis sunburned face, and he
hardly looks the 87 years Father Time has
credited him with.
Mr. Haggard does most of his writing
in the winter time, and when ha shuts
himself in bis study in tha afternoon or
evening it Is one of the ironclad rules of
the household that he must not be inter
rupted. His den Is a spacious apartment,
containing two tables, at which the novel
1st writes, and the library shelves are filled
with historical books. He has his plot
well formulated before he begins writing,
and when he takes up bis pen works with
great rapidity. Mr. Haggard is a reli
gious man and every morning before break
fast reads a chapter from the old family
Hit) lo to the assembled family and serv
ant. When his novel is to be of a his
torical character, he spends months in
study and usually makes a personal visit
to the country In which tbe scene of the
proposed romance is to be laid.

day earlier than waa f ormerly tbe case. No

lives if their offspring Is to be mentally

It is to Herr KoroaL th head of tb sta
tistical department at BudavPesth and al
ready well known for th importanos and
accuracy of the conclusion b has arrived
at from statistical Inquiries in other fields,
that w are indebted for tha discovery of
thl new factor in determining tha welfare
of the human race. The results which he ob
tained from a casual examination com 10
years ago of the relations existing between
the mortality of children and tb various
ages at which their parents were married
were so striking that they Induced him to
make a more exhaustive investigation.
For the past 10 years, therefore, Dr. Korosi
has been careful to ascertain, whenever tha
death of a child was registered, th ages of
its father and mother, as well as that of the
child and the cause of its death. He has
noted in all 29,813 separate cases, which, in
making his deductions, he divide into two
distinct classes, the deaths caused by heredi
tary diseases and the deaths caused by dis
eases which were contracted after birth.
Tha farmer class is manifestly of th great
est importance for his purpose.
Aa the condition of the mother is evident
ly more instrumental than that of tha fa
ther la its effect upon the child Herr Korosi
baa compiled his first table on the result
gained from observation of the mother's
age merely. t,
The statistics in this instance are:
Age of Mothers. Percentage of Death.
Under years. L1
to 80 years. Kil
90 to K rears..
Over years 18.16
Deaths resulting from tuberculosis were
eliminated from these calculations.
From this table it is evident that th
most desirable age, as far as tbe health of
her children is concerned, for a woman to
marry is between th ages of 80 and 85, tbe
mortality of children resulting from mar
riages at that age being but U.3S per cent.
It also appears that a woman should marry
when she is mora than 85 years old rather
than when she is between 30 and 90 years of
aje.
Mothers under 30 years of age are, accord
ing to statistics, more liable to bear sickly
children than at any subsequent period in
their lUe.
The mortality of children by women in
their teens is nearly double that of those
whose mothers were married between 80
and 35 years.
Concerning deaths due to tuberculosis
and atrophy, tha statistician finds that
twice as many deaths result from consump
tion and three times as many deaths from
atrophy when the mothers are under 80 aa
when they are over tbe age of 20.
Herr Korosi also recognizes that the
physical and mental condition of a father
leaves, to the same extent. Its impress on
his children. He has accordingly prepared a
table of greater length showing the results
of the "age combination" of both parents.
Men are slower in developing than women;
hence the relative differenc between their
age in th table: .
Percentage or
Age of Age of Deaths From I
Fathers. Mothers. Uterine Causes.
3D to 40. W to as. . 12.08
10 to 30... SO to 85.. .....12.80

Over SO JO to 30. 21.21
20 to JO. under 20. .21.71
80 to 40...... under 80..... 218
It will be seen from the table that the
best results are obtained from a marriage
when the father is from 80 to 40 years of age
and when the mother is from 80 to 85 year
old that Is to say, when both parties to tbe
marriage are in the prime of life. If, how
ever, the mother be of the prescribed age
and tbe father slightly under 80 years, the
result is nearly the same.
The most important deduction which can
be made from these statistics is that men
between the ages of 80 and 0 cannot with
safety to their offspring contract marriages
with women under 20, the rate of mortality
in this case being no less than 37.88 per
cent. Thisdeductionisof exceptional im
portance because of tbe marked decrease in
marriages of that nature at tbe present
time.
Marriages when the man is between 40
and 50 years old and the woman between 20
and 80 years old, which are also of frequent
occurrence, are likewise shown to be detri
mental to the issue.

"If you 'ever get In a corner and stem t
have nothing available In the him for
luncheon. Just Investigate th resource of
th cracker box." aaid a careful house
keeper. "I remember on day w had a
guest com in Just before luncheon waa
served. It waa a sort of off day, and wa
had a spread made up of odd and ends,
Tb visitor wa on. whom 1 knew to be
somewhat dainty In her tastes, and aa there
waa no time to send to market for any
thing I Just didn't know what to do. Un
fortunately th bread wasn't fresh, which
was a great misfortune, for It slways seams
to Die that with good bread and butter on
can make oat a sort of a meal; but her w
were, when it all at one occurred to m
that we might get up a creditable dish out
of crackers, of which, as good luck would
navs It, there wa an abundance.
Bo I buttered a few dozen cracker and
at them tn the oven, there to iter nntll
they war. a light brown. A part of the
wsr piacea m a man on tb. back of th.
stove, and with tbe remainder I madeaom.
cracker sandwiches out of som bits at
roast fowl which wa ready sliced In th.
pantry. Tb. meat was mixed with a llttl.
mayonnaise and placed between two of the
buttered cracker. A Jar of canned fruit
waa oponeUfand with om. olive and
bit or cbeeaa rounded out a verv rellahabla
luncheon, and my guest aulta nthusd
over th new fashioned sandwiches." Nw
