Women Live Longer.

A report from the Office of the reg
istrar-general of England shows that
there are more female than male CEN
tenarians. Out of million people 255
women reach the age Of 100 years,
while only so men round out the CEN
tury. Now, the great conundrum
which is proposed is; Why is this so?
According to the popular superstition
it takes much longer for woman to
reach even the age of 80 than it takes
a man to reach that age. If this is
true it makes the showing all the more
remarkable. 1t has even been as
serted that association with women
makes man live longer, as shown by
the fact that the average life of the
married man is longer than the
average life of n single man. The
fact, however, is denied by the end
man at the minstrels, who says that
the life of the married man is not
really longer, but only seems so.
So far there is no satisfactory expla-
nation of the original proposition why
more women live to be a hundred.
Some say it is because women are
less addicted to tobacco and strong
drink, others say that it is because it
is more healthy to spend money than
it is to earn it, and so on. 1t may be
many of the men are killed at an early
age in casualties to which women are
not exposed. 1t may be that tight
lacing is life preserver, and it may
be not fact, after all. Possibly the
English registrar-general may be mis-
taken. The situation is replete with
possibilities. Baltimore Sun.

The birth of second daughter to
the Czar of Russia suggests the posi-
bility of female successor to the pres
ent ruler, and calls attention to state
of affairs that is enough to make old
John Knox-if he is still cognizant of
affairs on this mundane sphere-turn
in his grave. He, it may be remem-
bered, complained bitterly in his day
about what lie was pleased to term "this
monstrous regiment (meaning govern
ment) of women" in allusion to the
fact that Elizabeth and Mary were
reigning in England and Scotland, and
Catherine de Medici was all powerful
in France--in direct contravention, in
the opinion of the great Presbyterian,
of the divine ordinations. But what
was that, asks the New York Tribune,
compared with the present situation,
when woman is about to celebrate the
completion of a sixty years reign over
the greatest empire in the world, when
another is Regent Of Holland, during
the minority of female sovereign, and
. third holds the reins of government
in Spain, while little girl, the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth, is talked Of as the
possible heir to the throne Of Austria,
aud the baby Grand Duchess Olga OF
Russia may possibly live to be EN-
pseas of that counEy9

The claimant alleged that these

supporting the young pretender.
The letters, engraved under the reg
