THE CONDITION OF HUMAN LIFE FRCN
A SCIENTIFIC STANDPOINT.

1t has been computed that nearly
two years sickness is experienced by
every person before he is seventy years
old and therefore that ten days per
annum is The average sickness of hui
man life. Till forty it is but half and
after fifty it rapidly increases. The
mixed and fanciful diet of man is con-
sidered the cause of numerous diseases
from which animals are exempt.
Many diseases have abated with
changes Of diet, and ethers are viru-
lent in particular countries, arising
from peculiarities. About the age of
SO years the lean man usually becomes
fatter, and the fat man leaner. Again
between the years 43 and 30 his APP
petite fails, his complexion fades; and
his tongue is apt to be furred upon the
least sxertion of body or mind. At
this period of life his muscles become

The news by telegraph regarding the
prospects of war between Russia and
England is very much at variance at
different times, so much SO that 1t
seems like large portion of such news
is put out in the interests Of specula-
tors. One day we see under prominent
head lines that the "War between Rus
sia and England is to be settled" next
day that "War between Russia and
England is imminent" And in this
manner the news comes as much at
variance each succeeding day, and still
the difficulties between the two nations
90 on without settlement or open war.
From everything which has occurred
OH the subject it would seem that about
the only way to avoid war is for Eng
land to back down and creep out of
the difficulty as best she cArl. because
Russia seems to he anxioU,, 1,5r the con-
hict, and the condition of her people at
home seems to demand an outside
struggle with some foreign nation in
order to engage in some other way the
nihilistic condition of her people at
home.

fiabby, his joints weak, his spirits
droop and his sleep is imperfect and
uni efreshing. After suffering under
these complaints year or perhaps two
he starts afresh and with renewed
vigor, and goes to 81 or 81 when a
similar change takes place, but with
aggravated symptoms. When these
grand periods have been successfully
passed, the gravity of incumbent years
is more strongly marked, and he be-
gins to boast Of his age.
Of 100000 male and female children
on mean of many tables, it appears
in the first month they are reduced to
9O,396 OF nearly one-tenth. In the
second month, to S7,936. In the
third month, to 86,175. In the fourth
to 84,72O. In the fifth, to s3,571.
In tho sixth, to s2,626, and by the
end of the first year to 77,52S, and
deaths being 2 in 9. The next 4 years
will reduce the number to 60, ,44S, in
dicating 1862 deaths before the COM
pletlon of the fifth year. At 25 years
the 100000 are reduced to one-haIf,
or 1895 only remains; at 50, third.
At 5S94, a fourth, or $4,000; at 81, a
fifth; at 76, tenth; at 81 twentieth,
or 5000; and ten only attain the age
100. Children die in large proportions
because their diseases can not be ex-
planned; and because the organs are
not habituated to the functions of life.
The mean of life varies in different
countries from 40 to 45. A genera
ton from father to son, is about 30
years; of men in general, fve-sxths die
before 10, and fifteen-sixteenths before
80 After so it is rather endurance
than enjoyment. The nerves are
blunted, the senses fail, the muscles
are rigid, the softer tubes become hard
the memory fails, the brain ossiies, the
affections are buried, and hope ceases,
the sixteenth die at so; except one
thirty-third, at 80, and the remainder
die from inability to live, at or before
100.

The city election which came off last
Monday in this place was a democrat
ic fight clear through. There were
three tickets in the field and nearly
all the candidates on all of them were
democrats. In the first place the peo-
pie who had been holding open tenn
perance meetings appointed a commit
tee to call citizens meeting to nomi-
nate city ticket, and when the meet
ing came together and had finished
nominating the ticket it was found
that the industrious democrats had
gathered in upon them and had capt
ured their meeting and the consequence
was that nearly all Of the candidates
nominated were democrats, most OF
whom cared little for temperance and
more for setting down on the originat-
ors of the meeting. A week later
another citizens meeting was called to
nominate another ticket which meet
ing also was composed mostly of demo
Gratis who nominated ticket composed
mostly of democrats This, however,
did not fully satisfy the longings Of all
those democrats who SO Graves official
position and hence pure and lnadul-
terated democratic conventioa was
called to nominate pure unadulterat-
ed democratic ticket, which was done,
making plenty of democratic material
to vote for. The result of the election
was that those elected were all demo-
Gratis except the Marshal who was
republican. In this contest the repub-
icans laid quiet, made no nominations
and hence had the opportunity. of OBJ
serving pure democratic fight all
among themselves and between some
candidates the fight waxed bitter and
strong. What will be the outcome or
result of the contest can not yet be
said but it is hoped that those. elected
will make for us good city govern
ment economically administered for
the best interests of ALL !

Much complaint Of late is heard of
the dry weather ON the crops, few go
so far as to assert that if rain should
come Immediately that the present
crops would be very much short of
IL good yield while most observers OF
present conditions concede that a good
quantity of rain within two or three
weeks will assist in making fair crop
and the latter opinion is no doubt the
correct one when we consider that this
is only the first part of May andspring
crops many years yield well when not
sowed until the 10th to the 18th of
May. The season however this year
in point of time is a month in advance
of what it usually is A trip into the
country however affords an opportunity
of observing that the grain is most
generally in good color and in nice
green growing condition with few ex-
ceptions and while it is true that some
of the late sown grain is very short
and some of it very thin because the
seed has not all come up yet, plenty of
good rain in couple or three weeks,
it is generally conceded will bring this
out in fair shape

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

So great has been the demand for
sle services of the specialist expert
mentally employed by the Swedish
Government during the last few years
to aid farmers in the destruction of in
sects, ETC., injurious to crops, that the
Office of entomologist is to be contin-
ued permantly.
It has been found by r. Koch and
P. Miguel that the superficial layers of
the soil are exceedingly rich in micro
scopic organisms, or bacilli. MIGUEL
considers that these bacilli play an i'm
portant part in the decomposition of
organic matter and in the formation of
assimilable plant food.
Different woods hold different guam
titles of water. According to Scheub-
ler and Hartig, freshly-cut hornbeam
contains 1876 per cent. of water; willow
26 per cent; ash, 2S.7 per cent; birch,
30.s per cent; oak, 34.7 per cent; pine,
39.7 per cent; red beach, 39.7 per cent;
elm, 44.5 per cent; .larch, 1876 per

Being called upon to analyze some
specimens of wine from a vineyard
near Mines, France, Mons. Barthelemy,
Professor of the faculty of Sciences at
Toulouse, found them to contain
rather a large proportion of arsenic,
which proved to have been derived
from the impure sulphuric acid with
which the wine casks have been
cleansed.

A remarkable phenomenon was late
ly observed at Harrington, Sweden
During a perfectly calm evening vio-
lent whirl-wind asose from the south
sast, when brilliant meteor suddenly
appeared in the zenith, travelled to the
northwest and burst near the horizon.
As the meteor disappeared the wind
quickly ceased, the whole phenomenon
lasting only about sixty seconds.
While on the ice of Greenland last
summer, Baron Nordenskjold's party
experienced not only blindness,
with which Arctic travellers are SO fa-
milliar, but also painful blistering Of
the skin of the face, produced by the
sunshine in the dry, transparent and
thin air. The blisters caused the skin
of the nose, ears and cheeks to peel off,
in large patches. This was repeated
several times during the journey of the
party, and the pain was increased by
the effect Of the cold morning air on
the newly-tormed skin. The sun has
no similar effect in the tropics.

No, the REFLECTOR is not going to
jaw the GGzdte, it will not please il
that much. We have not the time to
enter into q personal wrangle, but
rather content ourselves in giving to
the people of Dickinson county a relia-
bic and newsy paper. The REFLECTOR
Is no kicker or fault finder, but will
ever be found advocating that which
will tend to elevate its readers, both
morally and politically. The Gazette
may jaw at us, the democratic party,
and especially the democratic candi-
dates all 1t wants to, for its jaw will
avail itself or the republican party
nothing. And again, before closing,
the REFLECTOR would say to its read
ers, heed not the LAW" of the Gazette,
for it is not near as dangerous as the
jaw-bone of the ass which SAMSON
