women Live Longer Than Men.

According to recent investigation the
percentage OF feeble -mindedness is much
greater in the male sex than in the fe-
male. DIR. Ogle OF the English registrar
generals department, reports that out of
every 1000 900, persons 225 females and
only 81 males are alive at the age of 100.
Generally speaking, the centenarians
among the females outnumber the males
nearly three to one
How are these facts to be accounted
for? Some assert that the propensity of
women to talk and gossip, being conduc-
i've to the active circulation of the blood,
is source of health. Other statisticians
say that women have less wear and tear
of their nervous systems than men, as
we'll AZ less toll and trouble. yet many of
these long lived women are hard toiers
from the poorer classes and mothers of
large families.
The fact that baldheadedness is more
common affection of men than Of women
is vainly accounted for by many men on
the ground that the male sex has greater
mental activity than the female. This
explanation is a superficial one. Wom-
ems hair is better preserved than mems
because they take better care of it, and
still more, because they give it air, light
and ventilation, instead of coniining it
IN close, heavy headgear.
IL would not be easy to show that
women live longer than men because the
latter think harder and work harder.
The more evident explanation is that
women are not addicted to certain habits
as are men, and that it comes as a re-
ward for being less worldly and less fierce
in the struggle for wealth and fame.

Coffee Compound Pellet.

Take pill from your pocket. drop it
into cup of hot water, and in the twink
ling of an eye you have coffee as black
as your hat and AS strong as you can
drink it, says London exchange.
That sounds like fairy tale, but it is
true. This new preparation OF caffeine,
which is to do away with all the boiling
clarifying and fuss which make the coffee
barely worth while making, has just been
discovered by two chemists. Ii their ex-
pectations are realized the making Of
coffee will be simply the matter of a
compound pellet, containing the coffee
ingredient, along with the milk and
sugar.

The ancient Egyptians are violently

Within two months $4,000 Greeks, men,
