Longevity Of the Hlmln Race.

Mr.. E. r. Lankester, Of Oxford, Or
cues in the Herald of Health that the
| longevity of the human race has been
gradually increasing for centuries, and
thatit will probably continue to increase
for centuries to- come. lie, however,
makes distinction between that and
potential longevity" or the expectation
Of life in the highest ages, which nc says
| Is not increasing, or, at least, ls not
shown. to be increasing by any reiiaole
statistics yet taken. He mentions u rs
singular fact that there are absolutely
no statistics that throw light on the fiuc
tuations in longevity in past ages, 80 that
luearly all that is written upon that fruitful
theme is mere speculation and must con.
tinue 80 till enough facts have been &C
cunulated to warrant deduction. The
race Is now in sort Of transition state,
which Is really causing a 'survival OF the
fittest," as Herbert Spencer calls it, opera
ting through the emulation OF individ..
nails and communities, aid by means OF
this struggle. greater mental power IS
being added to contestants. Easty Wrl,
ters have concluded that this increased
mental expenditure must tell against
longevity, even allowing all other condl-
tions 70. remain the same; yet there IS
everv reason to believe that the structu-
ral capacity keeps pace With the de-
mands made upon it, and that the brain
work of the present age Is not more ex-
honst,ve TO the men who have become
ennred to it than that Of the Dark
A1es was to the less capable men of that
time, Were it otherwise the race would
;nevitably become extinct through the
;noreased difficulties Of existence which
accom- papy increase Of population. On
the contrary, as we approach that per-
feet state Of civilization, man will be-
come adjusted to his conditions, life
will have fewer needless drafts upon 1t,
and healthy, energetic centenarians may
he the rule and not the exception.
A curious branch Of Mr.. Lankesters
speculations Is the idea that, III exempt
for q great length of time from disease,
a species may become no longer suD)ect
to It. In other words, suppose tnat oy
vaccination and other sanitary measures
the smallpox were kept OF FOR seveial
generations in succession, might not the
Very seeds OF the disease be eliminated
from the human constitution SO that
small.nox would be unknown? Inc
sheen and OK are said to be descended
frnrn a not remote common ancestor, yet
they are are not now subject to the same
disease or, to come near the case IN
hand, the smallpox is terribly fatal
among Africans, while the Mariors have
an almost perfect immunity from 1t. II
this therory be correct then man can
presumably go on eliminating one dis
ease after another until they are all ban
ished and death itself becomes a matter
of considerable difficulty.

4 Thought Of Rest.

Oh, darling, in the whirl Of life,
Among its din and hustle,
Sometimes the thought comes In In
strife,
That, when the grasses rustic
Their long plumes in the summer breez
Above where we are lying,
We shall not think Of days like these.
And not Of tears or signing. .
Oh darling, when the grasses grow
About us and above US
When tender kiss or word we know
No more than those who love us
What peace shall thrill US lying there
Beneath the far sky's splendor,
Unmoved, unknowing grief and care,
But raped in rest most tender! ".'
So sweet so sweet it is to know
That after sorrow, quiet; .... ,
That some day flowers IL peace shall
blow,

SCRAPING TREES.

The object in scraping the trunks of old
apple trees,is to remove the scales of dead
bark, under which insects hide ; but as a
general rule there is not SO much advan-
tage in the operation, as there are hum
dreds of other hiding places nearly as ac-
eessible to the tree. The codling moth
for example, if not hiding under these
scales, to undergo its transformation, will
find fences, boards, brush, grass, weeds,
&C., from which the flying insects will
readily reach the young apples.-Wash-
ing the trunks of young trees, may assist
in promoting healthy surface bark. in
some instances. Soapsuds answer well.
and if weak may be used at any time Of
year, if stronger, or if solution of potash
is used it should be done when the leaves
are off, or the tree not growing. Rough
bark may be scraped at any time. We
desire it, however. to be distinctly under
stood that we attach very little Importance
to these operations; but that good cultiva-
ton, for promoting a thrifty, healthy
growth, is far more important, and will
give healthy bark, in much better
manner Those who wash the stems of
their trees, it is true, usually have good
orchards but it is because the same In
dustry and attention which induced them
to do it, also leads them to attend to good
management generally Country Gentle

OF COURSE the Argus takes the "reform'
side of the school committee question-for the
same reason undoubtedly that Democracy
everywhere places itself in antagonism to the
common school system, and in New York has
given that system the most serious blow It has
ever yet received by endowing Papist insti-
tutions with millions of dollars of the public
money. In this State, local Democratic plat
forms have contained distinct counts against
those measures of school reform which have in
= single year added 8 per cent. to the average
attendance in the schools throughout Maine
All those measures have been adopted in spite
OF the most vigorous resistance the Democra-
cy could make. The suggestion of compuso-
ry attendance last winter called out howl Of
depreciation from all the Democratic papers in
the State. The same party has made as much
ado about Mr.. Hears bill for system of ma
tional education, having special reference to
those States that have no efficient system in
operation, as to the enforcement bill. All.hat
has been done to educate the people of the
South, black and white, has met with the ut
mosI hostility in Democratic circles. The rea.
son for this determined opposition to the great
safeguard Of Republican government is that
Democracy thrives on ignorance, as in Ken
lucky and the sixth Ward in New York
Where schools are maintained in high state
OF efficiency, as in Massachusetts, that party
has no chance. The proposed new method OF
electing the School Committee in this city,
however good may be the motives of its origi-
nator and some of its supporters, we honestly
believe to be nicely calculated to give the am
Ditlous and intriguing Romish clergy of this
city an opportunity to push their schemes for
the advancement of their UNCONVENTIONAL
schools. In enterprises of that kind they al
ways hnd ready allies in the Democracy.
