Tissot attempts to account for the
greater longevity of women as compared
to that of men by the theory that the
large amount of talking for w hicn women
are noted is healthtul exercise that
promotes the circulation of the blood
without overtaxing the vital organs.
rms may do for cynical French joke,
but the Detroit Free Press thinks the real
explanation probably is the quieter and
more regular life that women lead, thus
preventing the premature wear-out of
the nervous system. One OF the most
| famous OF female centenarianS was the
Countess of Desmond, who lived to be
145, and died IN the reign OF James |. from
| the effects of an accident. This wonder
ful woman found herself at the age OF 100
so lively ana strong as to be able to take
part III u dance, and when she was 40 she
travelled all the way from Bristol to Lon
don-no trliling journey in those days
IN order to personally attend to some
! business affairs. Lady Desmond is, how
ever quite thrown into the shade by a
french woman, Marie Prion, who died
In st. Columbe in June. IS3S-it is said
at the wonderful age OF l5S. Towards the
END OF her life she lived exclusively on
goats milk and cheese. Although her
body was so shrunk that she weighed
only torIy-SlN pounds she retained all
her mental faculties to the last. 1t is an
| extraordinary but incontestable fact that
some women at the age when most people
die undergo a sort of natural process of
reiuvenation-the hair and teeth grow
again, the wrinkles disappear from the
skin, and sight and hearing reacqure
their former sharpness. ! Marquise de
Maribeau is an example of this rare and
remarkable phenomenon. She died at
the age OF So, but few years before her
death she became i'll appearance quite
young again. The same change happened
10 nun of the name of Marguerite
Nerdur, who at the age OF 81 lost her
wrinkles, regained her sight and grew
several new teeth. When she died, ten
years later, her appearance was almost
