LONGEVITY IN THE OLD AND New
WoRLDs.-The idea generally held that
the old world has the advantage of the
new in the matter of longevity is COM
bated with success by writer in the
Baltimore Underwater. 1t seems by a
careful analysis and comparison of vital
statistics, that IN England, Denmark,
Belgium, Norway and Sweden, Austria,
Prussia and France, the number of
death each year is 1 out of every 43 in
habitants, with England as the lowest
and France as the highest rate, being l
out of 46 and 80 respectively. In the
United States there is about l death out
of every 81 inhabitants in the north
western states, l in 100; in the middle,
to SO; in the southern, in 20 ; and in
the gulf states, l in So. Arkansas, as
state, has the highest rate of mortality,
and Oregon the lowest the former 1 in
40, and the latter l in 2O9. ct will be
noticed how near England, as a nation,
and Arkansas, as a state, are together in
the death-rate.) Females are longer
lived than males especially is this so in
settled states, and where proper atten-
ton is given to sanitary matters. In
1870, there died in the United State 565
men and 1852 women over the age of IS.

A Kind Word for the Flies.

Flies are not a desirable adjunct to
housekeeping, and the ideal housekeep-
er will set her face like q flint against
them, regardless of my innocent re-
marks. Nor have / the smallest SYM
pathy with that misplaced masculine
tender-heartedness which forbids the
use of the sticky fy-traps because they
make the fly uncomfortable, or the pois-
on-paper because it disagrees with the
hy's constitution. When a fly comes
into human habitation, he takes his
life in his hands, and if fate swiftly
takes it out again, that is his own affair.
But why should we make more ado to
put the fly out than he makes by COM
ing in 3? Why should the sweep of his
wings in parlor or dining-room be the
signal for a sudden surcease of talk, a
rush for towels, vigorous onslaught,
and vindictive slaughter? Extreme
fastidiousness is a greater nuisance
than flies. There are women who ought
to be bound over to keep the peace.
Domestic happiness, social order, and
the whole fabric of civilized life ought
not to be at the mercy of a fly; and
since you cannot always catch the fly,
there is nothing for it but to catch the
women. When I see people devoting
their minds to, and disturbing the uni
verse for, the expulsion of harmless,
wandering wayfarer, I am moved to say
that / like flies. They are busy and
a cherry folk, well worthy of study and
capable of rewarding an intelligent Gu
riOsity. / remember once spending a
whole Sunday afternoon in watching
one with great interest, and, I trust,
not without profit. How could Mr..
Theodore Tilton have written that
charming lyric, beginning,

Natural Expressions of Fear.

Some of the signs may be accounted
for through the principles of habit, as
ISOLATION and inheritance-sucha as the
wide opening of the mouth and eyes,
with appraised eyebrows, so as to see as
quickly as possible all around us, and
to hear distinctly whatever sound may
reach our ears. For we have thus
hab tually prepared ourselves to dis
cover and encounter any danger. Some
of the other signs of fear may likewise
be accounted for, at least in part,
through these same principles. Men,
during numberless generations, have
endeavored to escape from their enc
mics or danger by headlong flight, or
by violently struggling with them and
such great exertion will have caused the
heart to beat rapidly, the breathing to
be hurried, the chest to heave and the
nostrils to be dilated. AS these exer-
lions have often been prolonged to the
last extremity, the final result will have
been utter prostration, palor, perspira-
ton, trembling of all the muscles, or
their complete relaxation. And now,
whenever the emotion of fear is strongly
felt, though it may not lead to any ex-
ertion, the same results tend to reap
pear, through the force of inheritance
and association. Nevertheless, it is pro-
badly that many or most of the above
symptoms of terror, such as the beating
of the heart, the trembling of the mus
cles, cold perspiration, etc, are in large
part directly due to the disturbed or
interrupted transmissions of nerve-force
from the cerebro-spinal system to vari
Gus parts of the body, owing to the
mind being so powerfully affected. We
may confidently look to this cause, in
dependently of habit and association, in
such cases as the modified secretions of
the intestinal canal, and the failure of
certain glands to act. With respect to
the involuntary bristling of the hair,
we have good reason to believe that in
the case of animals this action, however
it may have originated, serves, together
with certain voluntary movements. to
make them appear terrible to their enc
mics and, as the same involuntary and
voluntary actions are performed bv
animals nearly related to man, we are
led to believe that man has retained
through inheritance relic of them, now
become useless. 1t is certainly a re-
markable fact that the minute unstriped
muscles, by which the hairs thinly scat
tered over mans almost naked body are
erected, should have been preserved to
the present day, and that they should
still contract under the same emotions,
namely, terror and rage, which cause
the hair to stand on end in the lower
members of the order to which MAJ be-
longs.-Ch0rIes DGraCin.
