LONG LEE IN NORWAY.
Another View Of a Question Niue
 Disputed Nowadays.


 Some figures have appeared recently based upon the returns to American in suranee companies from their branches in Europe which show that in Norway the average length of life is greater than in any other country in the world. and this fact is aseribed to the cool ness and uniformity of the temperature in that country. It has long been con. ceded that the proportionate number of old men is greater in Norway than in other countries of which detailed rec ords are kept
 In table which appeared q few years ego it was shown that of ], 1,000 persons born, the number who lived beyond the age of 80 was as follows in the coun- tries named: Hungary, fl; Italy, 65; Spain and Switzerland, 60; Germany, 70; England, 9c; Belgium, 1ol; Sweden, fa9. aa T5iFaT. fef hecen4in~ as cor rect tlis table, it would appear that the duration of human fife in the two Sean diuGVian counties, Norway and SWe- den. is certainly greater than it is else where, and a denial of the truth of the eontenti2a se6 mp }n the insurance 6g- ares would be 0iaient Bat a eSam- nation inf0 some Of Che facts Of ha ease discloses some conditions which impair the accuracy of these Aglnes Tbere is in the first place, very little immigration into either Norway or Sweden, and 6 very considerable imni grafton from these two countries The class ol older Inhabitants, and indeed all those who have passed the age of go, docs not furnish many emigrants, and on this account the number of oe- togenarians is undnly large in these countries. Again, Norway is conspicu- ously pastoral as regards the pursuits of it's inhabitants, and life on the farm is certainly conducive to longevity decidedly more so than in large cities.
 Norway is peculiar among the coun- tries of Europe in having few cities. either large or small Christiania claims a population of 150,000 and Der gen a population of 50,0o0, but in country the total population of which is nearly 2,o00,o00 urban population is certainly inconsiderable. Moreover, the longevity of people is not to be taken arbitrarily from the number of persons living beyond Q given number of years. but rather from the general duration of life. which is not longer ia Norway than in other countries of Europe, and is very little, if any, longer than the du- ration of life in New England, outside of the big cities and manufacturing towns.
 According to the established percent ages of the life insurance companies, of t,40o persons in good health at the age of 21, 1900 live to be 90, and it is com puted that 9 person of 70in good health has three chances in eight to be 30. and ! person of 80 in good health. has one chance in seventeen to be 90. What chance a person of 90 has to reach 100 the insurance tables do not state.-N. Y. Sun.

The school is progressing nicely under the efficient management of Prof. Ostrom, but more room is badly needed, every room being crowd ed to it's fullest capacity, some of the teachers having more scholars than they can properly handle and do justice to the school and themselves.

TIE English newspapers seem great Iy torn up about the sealing question, andsthey are calling Uncle Sam names with the volatility and i'll manner of fishwives. "The American head is swelled, z says one of them, and further declares that "the United States is a fourte-rate power" We'll, on moro than one occasion the English came over here to reduce the swelling of the American head, and history records how well they succeeded. The asser- tion that we are fourth-rate power has considerable truth in it, but John Bull may rest assured that, should the emergency demand it, Uncle Sam will show his capacity to move up into the position of frst-rate with celerity that will prove an astonisher. How ever, all this English newspaper blus- ter amounts to nothing. England can not any more afford to go to war with the United States than it can with Russia or any other nation somewhere near its equal. That country is ex- tremely valiant in fighting small tribes of savages scattered over isolated parts of the world, but it is the personifca- tion of discretion when it comes to the matter of picking a fight with some nation worthy it's steel. Meanwhile, the land of perfdious Albion would do well to mend its manners.

BECAUSE a postmaster at one of the small offices has just been detected in swindling the government by filing out postal money orders, upon which 1t is charged he secured the money, it is un- derstood an attempt is to be made re- stricting the business and limiting the number of orders which each postmas- ter can issue in each month, with each order limited to S100. This would be all wrong and an unjust hardship in many cases. The postmaster is a bonded officer of the government, and the government should protect itseli without subjecting the citizens to un- necessary inconvenience.

From the Gansa. City Journal.I


 Years ago, when it was more the fashion in Kansas than at present, United States Attorney Bill" Perry gave ''stag party'' to his gentlemen friends at Fort Scott. He had procured . bountiful supply of cold beer for the delectation of his guests, but hid it away in an upper room as post-pran- dial surprise. When the proper time arrived for the revelation of his sur prise, he said to the assembled com pany:
 "Boys, have a lot of cold been up stairs, but before we start want to know whether you inted to drink like gentlemen or like hogs2"
 "0h, we'll drink like gentlemen lead on Billy" chorused dozen voices in reply.
 "That settles it." replied the jovjal host, as smile rippled over all three of his double chins, "I'n have to send for more beer. A hog always knows when he's got enough"

Death of a Cat An,u,tart

As well as losing Sultan, Paris has just lost her famous cat. His name was Bis, and he enjoyed an income of 10, GOO francs. His mistress, Mme. Lelievre, who lived in the Rue Quatre Fills, on her deathbed drew up q will in Bis favor. and died happy. By French law she could not leave the money directly to Dis, so she hit upon the plan of leaving 10000 francs to the schools of her dis triet on the condition that her grave should be kept green, and that Bis be allowed to trim his whiskers in neace and comfort as long as he lived. Natur- ally the bequest was not refused. Bis was placed in charge of q concierge in the Rue du Platre, between whom and the school managers contract was drawn up in due form to the effect that the concierge was to receive s francs every three months, in return for which she was to take good care of Bis and buV him meat and milk daily. But now Bis IS dead, and the schools will get the money.-London Post.

CHIcAeo, Sept. 16.-Two men, suppos- ed to be emissaries of some anarchistic society, denounced the government. branded the Poles of Chicago as cring- ing towards and, as climax, tore a small American flag to shreds at Black Hawk and Noble streets last night. The result was small riot, during which the supposed anarchists were badly beaten. They had . horse at tached to light wagon from which they were speaking, which becoming frightened by the angry shouts of half hundred Poles ran away. The two men would probably have been killed outright but for this. As it was, the crowd of infuriated men chased the runaways several blocks, throwing stones and sticks at the half unconci- ous and blood-covered men. who erouehed in the bottom of the wagon terrifea and suffering from many wounds. The chase was lively while it lasted, but the fugitives escaped.
