A young artist lately took two OF his newest

dealers in Paris. and the latter, pityiDg

them on show. The next day tall Amer

able TO show sixty-siX specimens who are
managing to still husband out life's Ia per-
after the lapse of a century. The prcpon-
derance of centenarians OF the supposed
weaker Sex has led to the revival of some
amusing theories tending to explain this
phenomenon. One cause of the longevity
of W omen is stated to he, for instance, their
propensity to talk much and TO gossip. per
petual prattle being highly conducive, it
is said. to the active circulation OF the
blood, while the body remains unfatigued
and undamaged. More serious theorists
and statisticians, while commenting upon
the subject of the relative longevity OF the
sexes, attribute the supremacy of woman
in the matter to the wel-known cause.
namely, that in general she leads more
calm and uniInpassioned existence than Il
