Facts Concerning Centenarians-
TChfca0o Herald

A Syracuse bookseller of a statistical
turn of mind has collected accounts of
the lives of 10000 centenarians. He
found that 5000 of them came from
the Nutmeg state and that the majority
were women. Fifty single women came
up to the century mark, but only
twelve bachelors. One hundred min
listers lived to be 100, and only thirty
doctors, ten lawyers and ten actors. a
centenarian newspaper man could not
lie discovered. A New London wild
over of 105, according to the cata-
logue, married a maiden just 80 years
his junior, and one woman at 106 could
reflect on the loss of thirteen husbands.

War on the Cigarette.

Cigarette smoking has become such a
general nuisance that small signs have
been printed and kept for sale, which
read: No smoking allowed in this
office. A man who sells these says:
The greatest demand for them comes
from the banks The young men who
make deposits and carry messages for
business firms are mostly all addicted to
the vice of smoking cigarettes There is
something about the smell of burning
paper and poor tobacco that Is excessively
annoying to some men It is almost
poison to them, and found that when
began printing these cards they had a
ready sale. Now nearly every bank,
lawyers Office, and railroad Office has one

New-York tribune., 1885-02-18
GRAIN DUTIES,

Ttis n matter of some Importance to people OF
this country that the German Relchstag mas
voted to increase the duty on wheat 10 three
marks. The vote on this proposition was very
decisive. 229 against 113; and 1t was strongly
supported In the debate by Prince Bismarck
who urged particularly that the high duties
would not prove harmful to consumers or
unduly beneficial to the large farmers. At the
same time the French Government has before it
a proposition to impose duties on imported
grain, and counter proposition to abolish the
tax on unoccupied land, and to impose tax on
spirits. But it is deemed probable that the duty
on grain, which Is urged with passionate feeling
by many French farmers, will be adopted. 1t
may be added that, in reply to q delegation OF
Canadian millers, Sir John Macdonald gave
reason to believe that a high duty on flour
from the United States would be granted to
protect the Canadian producer.
Every one realizes that the tendency of these
steps Is to diminish tho demand for American
wheat, and therefore to lower the price which
can be obtained for the surplus to be sold.
There Is no room for argument about 1t. AT
glance men understand that, IL our wholesurplus
had to be sold in France and Germany, and no
market elsewhere could be found, the practical
effect would be that the American farmer would
either pay the whole or part of the duty to the
French or German Government, or else produce
less wheat and have q smaller surplus to sell.
Yet, when the same conclusion is urged In re-
gard to protective duties imposed by the United
States, there are so-callcd statesmen and igno-
rant professors of political economy who de-
clare that it Is absurd to suppose that any part
of the duty can be borne by foreign producers,
or that the price of goods imported can be
lowered I'm consequence OF import duties here
imposed.
1t happens that tho quantity of grain for
which the United States must find amarkct in
Germany or France is not large. BY far the
greater part of the grain exported finds
market elsewhere, and Great Britain is too
largely dependent upon foreign countries for
food and is compelled to seek too anxlously
cheapness of production in manufactures, to
consider seriously any measure which is likely
to increase the cost of living. Exports from this
country to Canada are Insignificant. Even
during the last half of lSSf when it was stated
that the imports of American -four were lOO per
cent greater than ever before, the quantity sent
to Canada was only about 100000 barrels.
The proposed duties In Germany, France and
Canada will only affect the marketing OF small
proportion of the surplus.
New-York tribune., 1885-02-18
4N EXTRA SESSION.

Some prominent Democrats now urge that
they want an extra session of Congress. hey
say that at first it was desired by Republicans
and feared byDemocrats. But they urge that
an extra session has now become necessary to
the success of Mr.. Clcveland's Administration,
and must not be prevented " in the fear that the
party in Congress would make an ass of itself. =
There is ground, it is true, to o.apprehend that
the Democrats in Congress would disgust the
country as usual. There is also ground to
believe that they would make itvery uncomfort-
able for Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is certain that the
presence of Democratic Congress in session
always disorders business and threatens
industry, and Is regarded as a calamity by con-
servative people. The country usually thanks
Heaven with profound feeling when Demo-
cratic Congress abolishes itself.
Nevertheless, unless Congress can do some
necessary things within the next two weeks, an
extra session may become Inevitable. Unccr-
tainty and financial disturbance are to be
depored, it Is true. But if the question is
whether the uncertainty shall last for whole
year. or only for a month or two, the country
will be compelled reluctantly to prefer an extra
session. Mr. Cleveland may look upon the
matter in the same light. If he has to face this
wranging of factions, and Somehow deal with
1t; if he has to meet Democratic stupidity in
legislation, and somehow to get the better of 1t ;
it may seem best to him TO begin the Job as soon
as possible.
1t is a question for Democrats to settle. If
they cannot do their duty at the regular session,
they ought 10 be compelled to meet again. 1t
is their own fault that there is any possibility
that an extra session may DC needed.

RUSSI1. PERSIA dkU INDIA

A dispatch from Berlin 10 London states that
Russia has just ordered 1000 Krupp guns of
the largest size for use in Notifications in
Central Asia. The TRIBUsEs cable dispatch
of Sunday morning spoke Of the uncasness
caused in England by Russia's advance toward
lIerat. The fact that sthe Russian occupation
in Central Asia is being quietly but steadily
pushed forward TO and even beyond the very
loosely drawn frontiers Of Afghanistan ia
indeed perfectly apparent. But it may be that
the Muscovite policy, which is broad and COM
prchensivc, and not So liable to constant changes
as those of parliamentary governments, con-
templates some important work preliminary to
the advances which must bring the COssack and
the Scpoy into contest, if not collision. At
present it is Persia more than India that Is
inenaced by the Northern Power, and Persia, as
NJ. Valentine Chrol lately set forth in Tie
FortnighHy ReUieic, is In ertremis." The king
dom of Iran is really in state of collapse
through persistent misgovernment, if that can
be called government which is only asuccessiOn
of lawless caprices. All tho viIile frontier
tribes dcspise and fout the Shah's jurisdiction,
and prey upon his more submissive subjects.
The people of Khorassan openly welcome the
Russian advance. The Court of Teheran has no
force whatever left to it. The army is a mere
mob, unclOthed, unarmed, uDfed. The Russian
will is already supreme in the councils of the
Shah. Russian policy has wrung from him the

NO JNVIUIOUS DISCRININATION

The London Ners prints an interesting and graphic
letter from Paris descriptive of the nuptial services
which linked the lives of an American heiress and
an Italian nobleman quite recently. Among other
information, it is told that Quoon Isabella Of Span
had hoped fow winters ago to arrange Il marriage
between he young hoircss aud one of her Majcsty's
nephows, but AN American fcolng against form
ing royal connections" prevailed against the
Queens fond hopes
This statement If permitted to go without cor
reotlon Is likely to produce an erroneous impress
sion among tho royal families Of the Continent.
The American heiress to whom reference Is made
may have had occult reasons for declining an
alliance with the Spanish prince, and not to hurt
his feelings more than necessity required, she may
have said, in u general way, that she objected to
royal families, anyhow. But it must not be as
sumod on this account that Americans generally re
gard royal poopo beneath them, nor that all our
helresses turn up their noses at wel-behaved aud
modest prince. Any respectable prince who comes
TO this country we'll introduced ID reasonably sure
of kind reception, aud need not feel alarmed lest
objection may be made TO him on account OF his rs-
lations. 1t Ia entirely opposed TO the spirit of
American institutions to frown on man because
of his b;rth. That circumstance 10 one ovcr which
he had no CONTROL aud while 1t may be thought un-
fortunate 80 far " 1t relates 70 prince, yet our
