NOTES ON BIRTHS.


There were registered during the year 1892, in the State of Maine, the births of 14,028 children, of which 13,758 were born alive, and 270 were still-born.


Of the whole number of births of which the sex was certified, 7,184 were males and 6,730 were females. In 114 births the sex was not stated. For each 100 girls born there were 106.7 boys.


This preponderance of the births of boys over girls conforms with the results of the registration of births almost everywhere. Thus, the number of boys to each 100 girls is, in Massachusetts (1892), 105.6 ; in Vermont (1892), 105.5 ; in Rhode Island (1890), 103.6 ; England and Wales, 104 3; France, 106 4 ; Germany, 106.2 ; Italy, 107.1 ; Sweden, 105; Greece, 112.


Birth-Rate .- The birth-rate for the State was 21.21 for each 1,000 of population.


The birth-rate of the different counties varied widely. It was the highest in Aroostook, 32.46, and the lowest in Waldo, 14.55. In five counties, Aroostook, Cumberland, Piscataquis, Washington and York, the birth-rate was above that of the whole State. The birth rate in each county is shown in Tables No. 2 and No. 7.


For the purpose of comparison it may be stated that the birth- rate of Massachusetts was 27.7 in 1892; Rhode Island, 24.7 in 1890; Connecticut, 23.3 in 1890; England and Wales, 31.2 (1887-91) ; Ireland and France, each 22.8 (1887-91) ; Germany, 36.5 (1887.91) ; Norway, 30.5 (1887-91) ; Holland, 33 4 (1887-91) ; Italy, 37.6 (1887-91) ; Hungary, 43 (1887-90).


Parentage .- Of the total births in the State, 61.94 per cent. were of native parents ; 18.46 per cent. were of foreign parentage ; 13.03 per cent. were of parents one of which was foreign ; while of 6.57 per cent., the nationality was not stated.


Lincoln county had the largest percentage of native-born parents, to wit, 89.30 per cent.


Waldo was a very close second with 89.10 per cent. of native parentage, and only 1.27 per cent. in which both parents were foreign-born.


In Hancock county, in 87.97 per cent. of the births, the parents were native-born.

REGISTRATION REPORT.


In Franklin the percentage was 84.63, and in Oxford 83.20.


Low percentages of native born parents are shown in Androscog- gin county, where, in 39.15 per cent. of the births, the parents were native-born. and 48.23 per cent. were foreign-born, and in Aroostook county with 49 per cent., and in York county with 50.66 per cent. of the parents native-born.


The percentages of parentage, whether American-born or foreign- born, may be found for the other counties in Table No. 11.


Comparing the parentage of the births in our twenty cities with that of the rest of the State, we find that in the cities, 40.94 per cent. of the births were of American parentage, while, in the rural parts of the State, the percentage of American-born children was 71-84.


The largest percentage of foreign-born parents was in Lewiston, 68.03, and in Biddeford, 65.81 per cent.


The lowest percentage of foreign-born parents was in Belfast where no birth was reported in which both parents were foreign, in Rockland with 7.84 per cent., and in Ellsworth, with 10 per cent. of the births with parents both foreign. For further com- parisons see Table No. 12.


Comparing the statistics of the other New England states with our 61.94 per cent. of American-born parents we find that in New Hampshire (1890) 50.07 per cent. of the births were of American parentage ; in Massachusetts (1892) 33 11 per cent. ; in Rhode Island (1890) 47.02 per cent .; in Connecticut (1892) 42.2 per cent ; in Vermont (1892) 77.61 per cent of the parents were American-born.


Season and Births .- The largest number of births in any one month in 1892 was 1,345 in March; the smallest was 1,016 in January ; the largest quarterly total was 3,774 in the second quar- ter ; the smallest 3,160 in the last quarter


In the first quarter there were 3,474 births.


In the second quarter there were 3,774 births.


In the third quarter there were 3,557 births.


In the fourth quarter there were 3,160 births.


The three consecutive months in which the largest number of births occurred were March, April and May, 3,943.


Twin Births. - In 1892, 138 twin births occurred. In 43 instances the twins were both boys; in 47, both girls ; in 45, a

boy and a girl. In 78 cases the parentage was American ; in 36, foreign ; and in 19 instances the parentage was mixed. Of the 276' children, 244 were born alive, and 32 were still-born. Other facts may be learned by consulting Tables No. 13 and No. 14.


Still-Births .- Of the 270 still-born children, 146 were males, and 96 females. In 28 the sex was not stated. With the exception of 14 still-births, as to which the nativity of the mother was not stated, 159 were of American mothers, and 97 were of foreign mothers.


The largest number of still-births, 54, occurred in Cumberland county, while the minimum number, 6, was reported in two coun- ties, Lincoln and Piscataquis.


The largest number of still-births, 32, was returned in January, that month in which the smallest number of living children were born. The smallest number in any one month was 12 in September. See Tables No. 15 and No. 16 for other details.

NOTES ON MARRIAGES.


There were 5,726 marriages registered in the State during the year 1892. This gives a marriage-rate of 8.56 to every 1,000 of population, or one marriage among every 115 persons.


The marriage rate was higher in Androscoggin county than else- where in the State, for that county being 9.78 per 1,000, and 7.24 for York county was. the lowest marriage-rate. See Table No. 2.


As to the nativity of the persons married there is a lamentable defect in Table No. 17, due to the failure of some of the town clerks to return the birthplace of groom and bride, called for in the blanks sent from this office. Of the 4,605 records of mar- riages which give these facts, in 77 per cent. the groom and bride were both American ; in 10 per cent. both were of foreign birth ; in 6 per cent. the groom was American and the bride of foreign birth ; while in 7 per cent. a foreign groom and American bride were united.


The largest number of marriages were solemnized in November, 698 ; while the smallest number in any one month, 321, occurred in January. See Table No. 18.


As to the ages of the persons contracting marriages, the largest number both of grooms and brides were between 20 and 25 years of age. While still under 15 years of age 24 brides were married ; in the age period, 15-20 years, there were 194 grooms and 1,597 brides ; in the period 20-25 years, 2.183 men and 2,197 women were married ; from 25-30, 1,541 men and 921 women ; from 30-35, 703 men and 359 women ; from 35-40, 363 men and 221 women ; from 40-45, 236 men and 130 women ; from 45-50, 142 men and 86 women ; from 50-55, 113 men and 55 women ; from 55-60, 67 men and 41 women ; from 60-70, 93 men and 27 women; and from 70-80, 33 men and 3 women ; over 80, 3 men and 1 woman. See Table No. 19.


In 846 marriages the bride was older than the groom ; 805 widowers and 542 widows were remarried; 125 men and 168 women were remarried after having been divorced from a former marriage.


Table No. 20 exhibits the fact that 4,664 men and 4,865 women were married the first time ; that 873 men and 719 women were married a second time ; that 110 men and 63 women were united in


91


MARRIAGES.


a third marriage ; while 17 men and 10 women contracted marriage a fourth time.


The three oldest grooms were all 81 years of age. The bride in . one of these marriages was 60, in another 46, and in the third only 39 years old.


The oldest bride was 86 years old and the man who became her husband was 36 years old.


In 5 marriages the groom was only 17 years of age, and the returns show that in each of two counties, one girl became a wife at the age of 12 years. One of the grooms in these two marriages was 23 and the other 31 years old.

DIVORCES.


NOTES ON DIVORCES.


Five hundred and fifty two divorces were decreed in the year 1892, and this is at the rate of not quite one divorce to every ten marriages solemnized within the same year.


Some of the causes for which divorce were granted are : adultery, 70, or 12.6 per cent. of the whole number ; extreme cruelty, 14, or 2.5 per cent. ; desertion, 181, or 32 7 per cent. ; intoxication, 82, or 14.8 per cent. ; cruel and abusive treatment, 115, or 20.8 per cent. ; failure to support, 17, or 3 per cent. The other divorces were granted for multiple or associated causes.


The wife was the libellant in 410 divorces, and the husband in 142.


In the divorces granted for adultery, the husband was the libel- lant 47 times and the wife 23 times.


On account of extreme cruelty, the wife was the libellant in all of the 14 cases.


For desertion, the husband was the libellant 62 times and the wife 119.


For intoxication, the husband was the libellant in 4 cases, and the wife in 78.


For cruel and abusive treatment, the husband was libellant in 23 instances, and the wife in 92.


For failure to support, the wife was libellant in the 17 divorces decreed for that cause.


Two divorces were granted before the married life had lasted 6 months ; 3 before one year ; 132 after from 1 to 5 years marriage ; 175 after from 5 to 10 years ; 161 after 10 to 20 years ; 58 after 20 to 30 years ; and 23 after more than 30 years married life.
