Comparative L Longevity.

Interesting researches concerning the
comparative longevity Of men and women
IN Europe have recently been made by
the Director Of the Bureau Of Statistics at
Gienna. From these it appears that about
4 third more women than men reach adj
vanced age. Women oftener lead quiet,
regular lives They have fewer bad hab-
its, are less exposed to strong passion and
excitement 1t appears from the gathered
statistics of the world that women have a
greater tenaeity Of life than men Nature
wOrships the female IN all its varieties.
Among insects, the male perishes at q
comparatively early period In plants,
the seminate blossoms die earliest and are
produced in the weaker limbs Female
quadrupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, despite the
intellectual and physical strength Of man,
the woman endures longest, and VIII bear
pain to which the strongest man sue
cumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal
to males, and more male children die than
females Deyerga asserts that the pro
portion dying suddenly Is about 100 wo-
men to $50 men; 1850 men IN the United
States in 1870 committed suicide to 2Sj
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 Othe1
hand, Is more deadly TO the latter, which
argues that We ought to give the girls Of
our families all the outdoor exercise that
they need Females II cities are more
prone TO consumption than IN the country
All old countries not disturbed by emigra
ton have a majority Of females in the
population In royal families the stats
tics show more daughters than sons. Tbs
Hebrew woman Is exceptionally long lived
while the col0red man Is exceptionally
shOrt-lived- Dr. Hough remarks that
there are from two to siX per cent more
males born than females, yet there Is mort
than SIX per cent excess of females IN the
living population The rush and wOrTy
Of the average business man II this eoun
try Is apt TO make him premsturely old
unless he takes judieious recreation Ths
females are to q great extent exempt frou
this overstrzining about business cares
which may IN degree, account for then

So they FASTENED down tho mountain to tho

them, with some feathery moss, into n tall
white vase. Then he Enelt witt, tho children

When they returned home their father met

A MOTHERS XMAS STORY,

Mother and I wero sitting by the fire on
Christmas night. Twenty happy years we
had spent together, almost alone, for father
died beforeI knew him; and wo had never
been rich, and were perhaps a little selfish,
for VIC loved each other so heartily that we
could scarcely spare time from each other
for the few of our own class whom we came
across, who being better off than ourselves,
and holding themselves rather higher, seldom
seemed to need our help or sympathy. We
had plenty Of poorer neighbors whom we
loved and who loved US, but they in no way
interfered between us or made tho happiness
we felt in being together less complete. It
was only in tho last year that u new strong
interest had come into our lives, and this
Harry brought; and OH New Years day he
and l were to be married. From the first
moment when he brought me home to mother,
having picked mo up from the muddy pave
ment, where l had fallen bruised and helpless
in tho midst Of a crowd, she seemed to take
him into her heart, and never from that day
did she let ono jealous feeling come between
her and me. OF course. she was to live with
us; even Harry could not have made q home
for me with, ut her, and the only thing she
ever did which for the moment we thought
hard, was when, a week before, she had in
sisted OH Harry's going home for Christmas.
"Go to your father and mother, Harry, and
leave Janet with me-" she said. "You and
she hope u lie together all your lives; give US
old folks one more chance of feeling you all
our own" And Harry. with a look at me to
see what ! thought, hn agreed.

Han; up the vine and tao holly,
Sign the cross over tho door,
That joy coming in with. tho Christmas,
Maygo from the place nevermore.
Gather love riffs for tho children,
Guard well the mystical way,
That the Christ chill comes at tho midnigh
To bless with bright favors the day.
Bring In good cheer and be merry,
Dance and ring out glad song;
Tho stars Of q Bethlehem desert
Looked down on o Christ happy throng.
Go We in howell and highway,
Guests to bring in to tho feast;
Angels shall unawarcs greet 20
In those tho world counteth as least.
Sound the sweet Christ loving anthem
Echoes will bear it on high
To the ANGELS made joyou, forever
By Christmas of love in the sky.
Bow down and worship tho spirit
OF the feast, the invisible King;
L.! lie comet!l in scarlet and purple
To gathera worlds offering.
