Temperate Drinking and Longevity.


From recent number of Science it
appears that the British No deal AS
sociation appointed a commission to
inquire and ascertain the average age
OF three classes of drinkers, to wit
Total abstainers from alcoholic bever-
ages, moderate drinkers and sots.
The commission reported its observa-
tions upon 4,234 deaths divided into
five categories:
Total abstainers.
2-Habitual temperate drinkers
those who consume moderate amount
of alcoholic liquors.
30Careless drinkers-those who do
not mean to get drunk, but are sim
ply imprudent drinkers.
4-Free and habitual drinkers.
5-Decidedly intemperate drinkers
-sots.
According to the classification, the
average age reached by each of these
categories is as follows:
First class-5I years and % days.
Second-63 years and Ii days.
Third-59 years and G7 days.
Fourth-57 years and SO days.
Fifth-53 years and 3 days.
From this the curious fact is brought
out that the teetolars are the shortest
lived, sots having but slight advant-
age over them in the average duration
of life. The moderate drinkers reach
the most advanced age.

are number of decisions of the Unit

laws relating to the disposal OF the

the jurisdiction of the land department

and it may be presumed that the land

How INGERsoLL EXCUSED HIMSELF
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was invited
to dine with party of literary and
scientific people in New York recent

tation. The dinner hour came, but
not the Colonel. He was telephoned

work, dressed for dinner and forgot
all about your invitation. AS / was

and was dismayed at my negligence.
The party at my table kindly volun-
teered to furnish me with acceptable
excuses-that the train was late
that l had oversight myself; that l
was unexpectedly detained by busi-
ness, and so on. But my daughter
looked at me and said: "Do you
think, papa, that they are the sort oi
that one Can tell lie to satisfactorily?'
Gentlemen, l do not think so; and
therefore, l tell you the exact truth
and throw myself upon your mercy

The new Masonic building now
being erected in Chicago will be an
architectural marvel. 1t is to have n
frontage of ITO feet, a depth of III
feet and will be twenty stories high,
and the roof will be nearly 300 feet
from the level of the street. There
are to be eighteen elevators, arranged
in semi-circle, having a total carry
ing capacity of 10000 passengers
daily. The entrance is to be AZ feet
high by % feet wide and the rotunda
with an area of 300 square feet, will
be open to the roof, where visitors will
find pavilion garden from which
they can get birds eye view of all
creation. A twenty story building has
been lately proposed in London, but
the idea of it nearly takes the breath
away from the people there, and it
doubtless will be half generation be-
fore they set to work to erect it.

WASHINGTON now stands 81 in the
relative rank OF States and Territories
in population. In 1880 she stood ~.
Her population in 1880 was 75,l16; in
1885, 129,43S. and in 1890 349,39O.
The percentage of increase for ten
years was 800 l3. Superintendent
Porter attributes this phenomenal
growth as he calls it, to the induce
ments for settlement afforded by "fer-
tile soil and ample rainfall, which en-
ables farming to be carried on without
irrigation over almost the entire
State"
