The neurology of the old year is al
way read by thousands with mournful
interest. In perusing these sad records
the mind unconsciously reverts to the
well-known axioms. which tell us that
the average human life is a spar of but
thirty-three and one-third short years.
That one-quartcr of all BORN die before
they have seen the opening of their
seventh year: one-half before reaching
seventeen. so that those who pass
their teens enjoy n felicity un-
known to one-half the human
species. In every thousand per-
sons only one reaches the age of 30; in
every 100 only six reach to or beyond
65, and not more than one on average
in 500 lives to be so years old. There is
said to he upward of 1000, 900, 900 hui
man beings on the globe; of these one
third die every year, OIL, s24 every day
and $3.50 every hour, or sixty every
minute. Married men are said to live
longer than single ones; tall men
longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life in their faTor pre-
vious to the ffticth year than men
have. but fewer afterward--St Louis

RAIL RUMBLINGS.

THE luxury of American parlor cars
has lately been introduced in England
by the Southeastern Railway Company.
Four railway companies, the Great
Western, the Great Eastern. the South
western and the Northwestern, bring
into London about 20. ZOO, 900 gallons of
milk every day.
An intelligent colored woman of New
York has recently brought suit for five
thousand dollars damages against n
southern railroad that refused her first
class accommodations for which she had
paid.
THE Trans-Andean railway is so
nearly completed that a gap of only
about ifty-five miles remains between
the present termini; and the entire dis
lance between Buenos Ayres an I VAL

miles, car be ~traversed now in ses.nty-

Hogs Parasites.

Hogs have their parasites like other
animals, and they wallow in the mud
aS a relief. In the winter, when slush
and mud are undesirable, an excellent
method of affording relief is to place a
rough post in the pig-pen, not less than
six inches in diameter. which will be
found very beneficial to the pigs, as
they can then rub themselves. Fine
coal ashes busted over their backs is

1t seems hardly possible for those
who delight in gay gowns and bright
colors to go far astray in their dressing
this year, as the modistes and milliners
are at hand to encourage them in their
tastes for this kindof gowning. Every
thing is bright and brilliant, and the
very quietest French combinations of
color are what but a few seasons ago
would have been deemed suitable only
for dress occasions. We seem, however,
to quickly become accustomed to all
this brilliance and gayety. and after the
long dreary season just past, there is
something inspiring if less refining in
all the rush of color, and gay and gor-
gcous effect.

Noble Ncumanr before tcnturiug

to know If any other member had q
grievance. Don't know whether the
member reads the Advertiser or not,
but The manner in which it had writ
ten him the speaker up during the
last campaign had essentially helped
him to victory. Laughter The
paper and he were too great friends
laughter to allow him to vote for
this resolution. Even the other day
when he was little under the weather
and was taking needed rest the
paper had remarked that he was
qualifying himself for Attorney
General. Laughter
Rep. White had also grievance
against both reporters, and he quoted
from the paper under discussion re-
marks about him.
Rep. Kanealii was very indignant
and favored Imprisonment for the re-
porter.
Rep. Iosepa said that it was better
not to notice the matter The pre-
vious day during the confusion he
had heard Rep. Kanealii shout out to
the introducer of this resolution,
when in the chair, Come down out
of there, you are not fit to sit there"
That gentleman now was very indig-
Eant over this small matter.
Rep. Smith offered the following
amendment, "rhat the reporter of
the =. G. Advertiser be requested TO
publish suitable explanation or
apology to the Representative for
Hamakua for his apparently con-
temptuous statement in the Z. G. A.
of this morning"
Noble Young favored the amend
menl. He had been mentioned but
sheltered himself with quotation
from Shakespeare, "He who takes
offence at fool makes himself the
greater fool" He knew the contri.
butor of the doggerel quoted; it was
not written by the reporter.
Noble Thurston spoke strongly in
favor of leaving the matter alone,
and in support of the liberty of the
press. He believed that it was in
the interest of the public to give re-
porters the utmost freedom.
Noble Macfarlane did not agree
with the previous speaker. He was
not in favor of letting the newspa
per off so easy; favored the amend,
ment of Noble Smith. He moved
the previous question.
On motion the resolution offered
by Rep. Smith was adopted.
The Assembly at 1920 adjourned
until 10 a. m. Tuesday.
