Persecution of Je Wa In Russia.

The Anglo-Jewlsh Association gives a
glowing picture Of the condition Of the
Jews in Russia, which is growing from
bad to worse. One of the worst features
Of their persecution is the restriction
put upon education. Jewish students
can only form three per cent. of the
total number, eve in places where the
Jews form s~eventy-five per cent OF the
total population, while the number of
children allowed to receive elementary
education in schools Is o N y five percent
of the total number attending such
schools. The Jews are still prohibited
from holding arms or acting as agricult-
ural administrator, and those who in
habit villages are not permitted to mi
CRATE to rural districts. 1t is also pro-
posed to exclude them from the legal
and engineering professions.

vital Statistics show n Constant Increase
In Length OF Life.

In Length OF Life.
How long can an average man live
under the present order of things?
With a view to ascertaining something
definite about the matter the writer
asked the opinion Of some of the leading
New York physicians on the subject.
DIR. CYRUS Edison was of the opinion
that, all things considered, people are
physically stronger now than they were
several generations back.
statistics OF longevity are hard to
collect" he said, ''for the reason that 1t
would require q comparison Of four or
five generations to obtain actual figures.
Within the last twenty years sanitary
science has made wonderful strides.
We have passed the period when sick
people who got we'll did so In spite Of
the doctor. There Is a more intelligent
understanding OF the causes Of disease,
and tho result can not but be beneficial"
"Then you think that, on the whole.
people are stronger now than in the
good old days?'":
'"There are many things to point to
such q conclusion. Take, for instance,
the last expedition to tho north pole.
The men on that expedition lived under
conditions to which the men OF a gener-
, alton or two & succumhed. They had
passed the limit where animal aud vege-
table life could exist, and where the
thermometer registered over seventy
degrees below zero. This feat was never
accomplished before in the history of
the world"
He also instanced the walking feats
Of the present day, which had broken
all previous records.
"As to the duration Of human life /
am not a statistician," he said, land
could give nothing definite, but | be-
lieve the people of the present are at
least as long-lived as their ancestors on
an average"
DIR. Bryant of the Health Department
also thought that the present conditions
pointed to as great vitality, generally
speaking, as past generations. There
were many things in city life which
were not conducive to longevity, but on
the other hand, modern science had
done agreatdeal toward offsetting them.
DIR. Roger j.. Tracy of the Bureau Of
Vital Statistics was next seen.
81 think" he said, that the result OF
the present census will show that there
are a great many more old people in the
country than would be suspected. The
tables showing the death rates and tho
average duration of human life have
not been 80 carefully kept in this coun'
try as in England, but in England they
undoubtedly show a decrease in the
death rate since $40. In that year tn.
annual death rate In London was twenty
fl We per 1000, and it has gone down un
til it is now 1904 per LOON. Y

JUST WHAT MUTT Is.
Anybody Can BUY 1t, But Nobody hut
Warrior Can Wanr Ii.

Warrior Can Wear 1t.
What does mutt" mean? Is II an
Americanism, an Anglicism, q Gallicism,
or pure, unauthorized slang? In the
days OF spelling aud definition bees, If
teen years ago, it would ave been Sc
lected "a agood word to torture aspirants
for prizes.
Briefly Expressed, mutt Is a military
term largely used in Europe and in q
less degree in this country for the use
OF civil dress or plain clothes by u regu-
lar military or naval officer entitled to
wear uniforms at all times. az was actu-
ally done by officers in tho army or navy
OF the great nations up to the close Of
the las century.
In the present day there seems to be
such q burning desire on the part OF
officers in the army and navy OF the
United States to get rid OF the evidences
OF their presumably honorable calling
that the wearing of multi, or plain
clothes, is an almost UNIVERSAL practice.
Whether it is for the good of the coun-
try that the objection to wearing uni
forms OF the streets, outside of parades
or public PROFESSIONS, Is extending Ia
the non-commissioned officers and pri,
Yates OF the regular service, is a ques.
ton that is just now receiving consider
able attention from thoughtful citizens.
Turning for q moment TO the philo'
logical issue involved in the word
''mufti," 1t appears hat the term Is OF
Arabic origin, and was adopted into the
Hindoostani tongue to express the as
sumption Of plain clothes by the officers
in the service of the old East India Com.
pany, which was a commercial corpora,
tion invested with military powers. In
the original Arabic ''mufti" indicated
person, not a thing, namely, a doctor OF
teacher OF religions or Mohammedsu
law, which is it's present primary inter
probation in Turkey. The French speak
OF an officer 'in multi" as zen Pekin,'
thus again recognizing the Oriental
origin Of the word. The German army
uses mutt" to express the assumption
, Of civilian clothes after being in uni
form, and the Russians recognize the
term in the same sense.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
