the better success in modern times in

enough to determine. We believe it is
pretty well established that life is growing
longer. The Pail Mall Gazette, by the
way, draws striking contrast between
the men at the head of affairs in Europe
now, and ut tie beginning OF this century.
The leaders of European government and
opinion are now nearly all men from sixty
to eighty-fYe years of age, though, by the
way, we inadvertently gave Bismarck ten
years too much the other day, he being
