Female renaelty or Life.

1t appears from the gathered statistics OF
the world that women havea greater tenacity
of life than men. Nature worships the
female In all its varieties. Among insects tho
male perishes Mt a relatively earlier period.
In plants the seminats blossoms dis earliest
and are produced on the weaker limbs.
Female quadrupeds have more endurance
than males In the human race, despite the
intellectual and physical strength of the man,
the woman endures longest, and will bear
pain to which the strong man succumhs.
Zymotic diseases are more fatal to males. and
more male children die thnn females. Do
verga asserts that the proportion dying sud-
denly is about 100 women 10 $50 men; l,OSo
men In tho United States In 1870 mmitt
suicide, TO 2s5 women
lntemperance, apoplsxy, govt, hydroceph-
alus, affections Of the heart and liver,
s~crofula, and paralysis, are far more fatal TO
males than fomales- Pulmonary consump-
ton, on the other hand, Is moro deadly TO the
latter. Females In cities are more prone TO
consumption than in the country. All old
countries not disturbed by emigration have n
great majority Of females in the population.
In royal families the statistics show moro
daughters than sons. The Hebrew woman IL
exceptionally long lived; tho colored man IL
exceptionally short lived. Ths married state
is favorable to ~prolongation OF life arnong
women. DR.. Hough proelaims that there are
from . to . per cent. moro males born than
females, yet there are more than 6 per cent
Of females in tho living population. From
which statistics we conclude that all women
ought to marry, and that as men are likely
to becoms so scarce they cannot be sufb-
cienty priEed by the other sex

A contributor to The Glasgow Herald de-
clares that he has IAN idea" which he thus
elucidates: 1t is well known Especially in
the straits of Sunda) that the earth is full of
volcanic fires; that fires will drive steam
engines; and that steam-engines will dig and
excavate. Ny idea Is to make use of these
volcanic fires to excavate and mine the whole
earth at about one hundred feet below the
surface, and so detach the crust from the
solid body. This feat accomplished, the
engines could then be used to set the crust
rotating relatively to the earth in an oppo-
site direction. The daily revolution of the
earth upon its axis could then, as
far as mortals are concerned, DO quite
neutralized, and, by judicious management
we could always face the sun, and thus pro-
duce perpetual MONDAY. Tn economy in
lighting would more than compensate for
any possible damage wo might have to pay
the New ~Zealanders, who would never see
the sun, and we should nave the increased
growth Of cabbage and other vegetables to
the food. The moon and stars could not be
SO well observed in this part OF the world,
but that would be moro than compensated
for by the continuous observations which
New Zealanders could make.

The Gospel OF Sweetness and Light.
tCroffut In Chicago Tribune.
Saturday 1 had tho pleasure Of lunching
with Matthew Arnold as one OF the fifty
guests of Mrs Erminnie A. Smith, OF Jersey
City, and afterwards of hearing his lecture on
Emerson in the church near by, under the
auspices OF the famous Esthetic society. /
regret to be compelled to report that he par
took Of his bouillion, chicken-salad, and ice
cream much like other mortals, for many
readers expect some originality, II not eccen-
tricity, in the gustatory performances OF dis
tinguished men.
As Mr.. Arnold had that moment arrived
from Philadelphia on the cars, Mrs. Smith
asked him how he liked our cars. 20, admir-
ably" he said; "for summer travel with choice
friends l might prefer our compartment sys-
tenn; but your cars are so beautifully armed
We came through in the paTlor-cars as com
fortably as IL we had been in our own homes.
Your keep your cars much more comfortable
in cold weather than our compartment

1 asked Mr.. Arnold how he liked our audi
ences. He smiled and LOOKED a triHe as IL he
didn't wish to commit himself. "They are
intelligent" he said, "but they sometimes
seemed to lack the Independence l had looked
for. They arc not demonstrative. They are
backward about expressing their opinion"
This accorded with my own observations in
London last summer, whore people Kissed of
the stage an actor whom they didn't like, and
where l saw ladies carry wooden pattens to
the theatre under their arms and then put
them on their feet after they get seated, so
that they could express their enthusiasm
two soles with but a single thought.
Mr.. Arnold in his lecture insisted, with n
calm, digni6ed manner that Emerson was
not a great poet, a great man Of letters, or q
great philosopher, but that he was a great
thinker who flung out into the world "some
valuable though crude nuggets OF thought"

A Funny Paragraph.
Lima Times.

Down in that big, diversified county
of Darke, one Of the noble seven
which make ur the Congressional
District, the people are all torn up
over three first class tragedies which
occurred so near to each other that it
alarmed the people |, st that SORT of
thing was to become epidemic. In
the first place Marshal Ryan, a very
popular resident of Eaton, vas found
dead with five bul ct holes through
his body. A man named Ellis, who
had always borne O good reputation
among his fellow citizens, was ar
rested on a charge of having com
mitted The terrible crime, and now
lies in Jail, unable to secure release,
as the offense is not q bailable one.
Right following this q man named
Smith was found hanging by his
neck in the woods, stone dead. AT
the heels of this an inmate Of the
County Infirmary cut his throat from
ear to u and added his mite to the
great column of casualties for to day.
Eaton is enterprising, aud is hard to
beat when it comes to the matters of
murders and suicides.
