there were 3,56S, in 1890 1890, in 1891
5,G9S, in 1892, 6,791. The principal
causes appear to be quarrels, liquor,
jealousy, highwaymen, infanticide and
insanity, in the order named. The
most surprising fact is the number of
murders of wives and sweethearts, in
III rs, caused by jealousy. A large
proportion of such murders seem to
have been accompanied by suicide. OF

IT is an acknowledged fact that q
great age is attained by women oftener
than by men. Tissot, with doubtful
gallantry, accounts for this by declar-
ing that the large amount of talking
for which women are famous is very
healthy exercise and promotes the CIR
culation of the blood without over-ex-
erting the organs. Another reason
given is the quieter and more regular
life led by women, whose nervous sys-
tenn and brains are consequently not
worn ont so quickly as those of men.
The TALKING theory, however, is a
cheerful one to take, and may be lived
up to with as little sacrifice as any.
