Length of Our Lives Increasing.

At recent international health exhi-
bition held in London, Sir James Paget
delivered an address before the associa-
ton, the Prince of Wales being present.
The learned physician asserted that
people live longer than formerly, and
that less sickness prevails among the
mass of people, and he then gives the
following reasons for the decrease of
mortality during the last few years:
'tThere is less from intemperance,
less from immortality; we have better,
cheaper and more various food; far
more and cheaper clothing; far moro
and healthier recreations. We have on
the whole better houses and better
drains, better water and air, and better
ways of using them. The care and skill
with which the sick are treated in hos
pitfalls, intirmaries, and even in private
houses are far greater than they were;
the improvement and extension of nurs-
ing are more than can be described; the
care which the rich bestow on the poor,
whom they visit in their own homes, is
every day saving health and life; and
even more effectual than any of these is
the work done by the medical officers
of health and all the sanitary authori-
ties now active and influential in every
part of the kingdom. But we want, .
adds the lecturer in closing, more am
bition for heaIth-a personal ambition
for renown in health as keen as is that
for bravery or for beauty. or for sue
cess in our athletic games and field
sports. Scientific american.

Collegiate Indians.

A strong sentiment demands the edu-
cation of the Indians. Men of the high
type of General Armstrong, of Hamp-
ton, and United States Commissioner of
Education Eaton give their best. efforts
to it. The addresses on the subject of
Indian education before the convention
of teachers now sitting at Madison are
listened to with evident interest. This
sentiment is strongest among those who,
like the devotees of the cause of the no.
BILE red men in Boston, have never seen
an Indian and have only literary ac-
quaintance with him, but that is moth
ing. All sentiments act in this way.
1t was not the men who were near the
negro who placed his emancipation even
above the preservation of the Union.
Needy people, like prophets, almost
always fail to receive due consideration
in their own neighborhood.
But there are good many kinds of
education the Indians need quite as much
as ''book larnin. If our duty to edu-
cate the Indians means that me must
accept them as our wards and teach
them to make the best progressive use
of their faculties there would be few to
deny so palpable truth. But if ii
means that to have educated Indians
we must have collegiate Indians we de-
muir. 1t is by no means a constant
truth that the collegiate white man is
an educated man. Too often the col.
legiate training with its usless Greek
stulfing proves to have been misdirec-
ton of time, effort and habit, and to
have untitled the white boy for any use,
full work in the world. There seems to
us not little danger that similar mis-
take may be made in the case OF
Indian education. The thing these saw
ages need least is what can be given
them out of books. We do not begin
ne education of our children with books
merely. Indians are adult children,
md require moral, physical and indus
rial influences much more than literary
ones, including Greek.
Education implies character as wei

Nj trim0niaI Markets.

The tendency of modern times is for
man who is thinking of taking wife to
ask not what she is, but what she has. In
this important detail widows generally
possess the advantage. Very few are
left totally unprovided for-the skull
and crossbones have generally been gilt
for them, even if thinly; for in every
class of life man of common decency
tries to do at least something for his
widow, if heis doomed to have one-or
to leave one would perhaps be the more
accurate expression. The old chivalrous
days when lovesick SWANS made sonnets
to their mistress eyebrows, and were
ready to face any straits of poverty OF
danger, provided only they won the
heart of some fair maid, have long since
passed away; the majority of men do
not appreciate the idylic beauty of love
in cottage, and strive to add by mar
riage to their comfort and position,
rather than to imperil either, ever so
slightly, for the sake Of the woman they
love.
They have keen eye for bargains,
and if they can only secure one in the
matrimonial market they have no obiec-
ton to IFS being secondhand. 1t is
comparatively exceptional for young
girl to bring a substantial dowry to her
husband; she may be an heiress, but the
waiting may be long.
But in the case of a well-to-do widow
the pecuniary advantages for her second
husband are immediate and tangible.
She is mistress of her fortune, and
the lucky winner of her secondhand
affections can enter at once into the en-
joyment of the solid possessions which
enhance the attractions of his inamo-
rata, or, it may be, atone for her short
cOmings. Widows are always consid-
cred excellent game by fortune hunters
for this reason, and the majority of
widows who remarry find their ro-
mances end very prosaically. For, be
it said, it is often a marriage of entire
affection which is made by widow
