WOMEN'S CLUBS
One Hundred Thousand of the Gentle

(TO be COntinned.)

One Hundred Thousand of the Gentle
Sex in America Are Members.
The last decade of this wonderful
nineteenth century has witnessed a
remarkable and far.reaching move
ment, the gathering into one great
organization of rapidly increasing
number Of women, without regard to
class or creed, for the social. intellec-
tual and moral advancement of hui
manity, says Lippincott's. The Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs was
formed at meeting called by Sorosis
in New York city in May, 1889. Its
phenomenal growth is perhaps best
realized by the consideration of a few
cold statistics gathered from the re-
port of the corresponding secretary at
the third biennial of the federation,
held in Louisville last May. From
this report it appears that the 1856
clubs and four state declarations rep
resented two years ago have increased
to 495 clubs and twenty-one state fed
erations. the latter including over 800
clubs. There are, therefore, in round
numbers, exclusive of many smaller
organizations with similar purpose
which, for economic or other reasons.
have not yet joined the general fed
GRAFTON, 1900 clubs, embracing a men,
bership OF 100000 women. In this
might host are many of our best
and brightest women from the rocky
shores OF Maine to the Golden Gate.
from the mountains of Idaho to the
Florida keys.

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG.
Interesting Statistics Compiled by
Noted German Scientist.

Interesting Statistics Compiled by q
Noted German Scientist.
Persons who desire to live to good
old age will do we'll to read an inter-
esting work on the subject which has
just been issued by DR.. Schwartz of
Berlin, says the New York Herald. The
doctor has given much time to the
study of longevity, and the conclusions
at which he has arrived are based on
statistics which seem in all respects
reliable.
He begins with the bold statement
that any one who desires to live for
four score and ten years should get
married. In other words, he claims
that conjugal life is necessary con-
dition of longevity. Here are the
statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who had reached
the age Of 40 years the doctor found
that 125 were married and Is unma!-
ried.O 10 men who had reached the age
of 60 years he found that 49 were mar
ried and only % unmarried.
He next took SO men, each Of whom
was in his 10th year, and he found that
81 were married and II unmarried.
Finally, he took IL men, each aged 80
years, and found that were married
and 3 unmarried. 1t may be claimed
that no sure conclusion can be drawn
from statistics of this nature, for the
reason that the institution Of marriage
is spread all over the world, and hence
it is natural to find the majority of
persons married. DR.. Schwartz in re-
ply again brings forward some curious
statistics. These statistics show that
the mortality among bachelors be-
tween the ages of 30 and As is as high
as q per cent, whereas among those
who are married it does not exceed 1S
DER cent.
1T is evident" says French writ
err, who has closely studied DR..
Schwartz statistics, "that we must ac-
knowledge the potency of these figures,
and that if we desire to live to a good
old age we should get married as soon
as possible. We should certainly do
so if we wish to live a full century, for
DR.. Schwartz cites the cases of fifty
centenarians, not one of whom is a
bachelor. A curious fact, too, is that
these fifty centenarians were all Wild
