STATISTICAL FACTS.

Reliable Information on Variety of 1n-
 teresting Topics
 A German statistician' says: There are at present 3,O64 languages spoken by the in- habitants of our globe, whose religious con- victions are divided between 1000 differ ent confessions of faith. The number of males is nearly equal to that of the females. The average duration of life is 33 years. One fourth of the population of the earth dies before attaining the seventeenth year. Of 1000 persons only one reaches the age of 100 years, and not more than six that of 65 years. The entire population of the globe is upward of 200 000, ,000, of whom B, ,214, 900 die every year; 96, ,4S0 every day; 4,020 every hour; 67 every minute and 1 and fraction every second; on the other hand the births amount to 36,792, ,0OO every year; 10O,S00 every day; 4, 200 every hour; 70 every min ute; and fraction every second. Mar ried people live longer than tho unmarried, the temperate and industrious longer than the gluttons and idle, and civilized nations longer than uncivilized. Tall persons en- joy a greater longevity than small ones. Women have more favorable chance of life before reaching their 50th year than men, but a less favorable oue alter that period. The proportion of married persons to single ones is as 75 to 1,aOO. Persons born in spring have more robust constitution than those born at other seasons. Births and deaths occur more frequently at night than in the daytime. It may finally be added that only one-fourth of the male inhabitants of tho globe grow up to carry arms or perform military service

DON'T EAT HASTILY,
The Habit Ruined the Great Napoleon
 and May Also Ruin You.

The Habit Ruined the Great Napoleon
 and May Also Ruin You.
 It is mistake to eat quickly. Mastication performed in haste must be imperfect, even with the best of teeth, and due admixture of the salivary secretion with the food can not take place.
 When crude mass of inadequately crushed muscular fiber, or undivided solid material of fanysdescription is thrown into the stomach, it acts as mechanical irritant, and sets up condition in the mucous mem- brane lining of that organ which greatly i'm pedes, if it does not altogether prevent, the process of digestion.
 When the practice of eating quickly and filling the stomach with unprepared food is habitual, the digestive organ is rendered in- capable of performing its proper functions, says Medical Classics. Either a much larger quantity of food than would be nee. essary under natural conditions is re- quired, or the system suffers from lack of nourshment.
 DThose animals which were intended to feed hurriedly were eithe: gifted with the power of rumination or provided with gig zards. Man IS not so fur nished, and it is fair to assume that he was intended to eat slowly. We must apologize for reminding our readers of facts so familiar. The matter may seem small one, but it is not so.
 Just as man may go on for years with defective teeth, imperfectly masticating h1s food, and wondering why he suffers from | indigestion, so @ man may habltually live under an affliction of hurried dinners with out knowing why he is not well, or how easily the cause of his illness might be remedied
 The habit of eating fast and carelessly is supposed to have paralyzed Napoleon on two of the most critical occasions of his life the battles of Borodino and Leipsic. On each of these occasions he is known to have been suffering from indigestion.
 On the third day of Dresden, too Gas the German novelist Hoffman, who was in the town, asserts), the E1hperor's energies were impaired by the effects of a shoulder of mutton stuffed with onions. There can be no doubt that Napoleon's irregularities as to meals injured his health and short ened his life

WESTERN INTERESTS says the Bridgeport Farmer, ''now demand that eastern farmers who use plaster as a fertilizer shall be compelled to pay heavy tariff duties upon it. The raw material is, it seems, produced at the west, but the east obtains it more cheap ly from Nova Scotia. To this the west objects, and as it is a time of 'protec- ton the objection will probably result in the imposition of another tax upon the already hard pressed farmers of the east" As the farmers of the east gener- ally voted in favor of protection they ought not to complain if they get the whole benefit of it. If protection is a good thing for them they can't have too much of it. When they find out how it works perhaps they will squeal. With the esteemed Farmer we believe that time is coming.

A PROPERTY OWNERS VIEW. Should the bill allowing but one saloon for every five hundred inhabitants be- come a law in this state there would be a resultant injury to real estate whose magnitude we may guess from the eX- ample of Massachusetts. At meeting of real estate owners held recently at Boston canvass was made of the in jury that was certain to accrue to their property from the new order of things that has just gone into effect there, and it was. found that not alone was much injustice being done by favoritism ln the selection of those to whom licenses were granted, but that they were being parceled out without due regard to the effect on the value of property both real and personal.
 As told in our Boston exchanges, 1t appears that all sections of the city were
