The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1885-11-03
The Sexes,

The Hebrew women are the longest lived
and the colored men the shortest 1t APP
pears from the gathered statistics of the
world that women have a greater tenacity
of life than men Nature worships the
female in all its varieties Among insects
the male perishes at a relatively earlier
period In plants the seminate blossoms
die earliest, and are produced in the weak
er 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 succumbs. Zymotic diseases
are more fatal to males, and more male
children die than female Deverga as
serts that the proportion dying suddenly
Is about 100 women to 200 men; 1850 men
in the United States, in 1870, committed
suicide to 2S5 women. Intemperance,
apoplexy, govt, hydrocephalus, affections
OF the heart or liver, scrofula, paralysis,
are far more fatal to males than females.
Pulmonary consumption, on the other
hand, is more deadly to the latter Fe-
males in cities are more prone to consump
ton than in the country All old coun-
tries not disturbed by emigration have a
majority of females in the population In
royal families the statistics show more
daughters than sons. The Hebrew woman
is exceptionally long lived; the colored
man exceptionally short lived The mar
ried state is favorable to prolongation of
life among women. Dr.. Hough remarks
that there are from two to six per cent
more males born than females, yet there
are more than six per cent. of females in
the living populations, from which stats
tics We conclude that all women who can
possibly obtain one of those rapidly de
parting men ought to marry, and that, as
men are likely to become very scarce, they
cannot be sufficiently priced by the other

superstitions Abou, Children.

superstition used to exist that a child
which did not cry when sprinkled in baptism
would not live long. In the west of Scotland,
according TO James Napier, il was considered
unlncky 10 call a child by any name before
rite OF baptism was performed.
When children seemed prematurely smart, II
was believed they would not live long. Shake
spe1re puts this superstition into the mouth of
Richard III. Bulwer mentions the tradition
concerning children born open handed that
they will be literal and big hearted. A char
acter IN one Of DekkeT's plays SAYS: / AN
most wretched fellow; surely somc left handed
priest christened me, am SO unlucky."
According TO Irish and Scotch fairy super
s,itiuns, the elves. though in the main harm
less, have the bad reputation Of stealing chill
dren from the cradle and substituting for them
