LONGEVITY OF HEBREWS.


jews Long Lives.
Probably few persons outside sta
tistical circles are aware of the fact
that the Jews are considerably longer
lived than any other civilized race.
OF 100000 Hebrews born on the same
day there will be 50,es4 males and AZ
ZIG females. At the end of the first
year the 100000 Jewish infants will
have established in most remarkable
way their superiority in point Of vi
tality,, for only s,091 will have died, as
compared with 14,192 in the English
experience and 1906 Americans.
Striking as this difference is it will be
fosnd to be practically maintained
throughout the later. stages of life. At
the end Of i've years only 1884 Jew
ish children out of the 100000 Will
have died. while out of a similar NUM-
Der Of English children 24,679 will
have Joined the great majority, and
America will still keep her bad pre-
eminence with 26,912 angels. Making
leap to middle age the deaths at so
years of age will haze been 26.5l9
Jews, as compared with 49,079 Eng
lish, and at the age OF 65 the mortality
returns win stand at S7,442 and CELLO
respectively. But the full force of the
comparison is hardly seen until the
point Of extreme old age is reached.
At 81 years no fewer than 25. 1876 Of our
100000 Jews will be still living, while
the survivors of the English band will
be meager 1866. Besides the curious
reversal OF the usual proportion Of
males and females. there is another
unique feature in the Jewish statistics.
The general experience is that the av-
erage duration Of life is higher with
the female than with she male. The
opposite is the case with the Jews.
OF the 1916 Jewish survivors at the
age Of IS there will be 1925 men and
only s,s10 women-a percentage CT
64.6o males and 35.40 females. The
English experience shows that at that
age $3.50 per cent Of the suryivals will
be females and 1910 males.

1t is necessary to take care Of pic
lures hung upon the walls, as well as
of everything else. Engravings,
though carefully framed, become mil
dewed and rusty on the edges, though
the house shows dampness in no other
way. The fancy that any one can
frame a picture is a mistake. Do not
trust any one to frame a valuable en-
craving but some one who. under
stands the business. Engravings
should be hung in strong light, be
cause they are not injured by it as
watercolors are. Watercolors, which
are liable to fade, should be hung in
a more darkened part of the room,
due attention being first paid to their
being hung where they will be seen
to the best advantage. As rule, wa
tercolors look better" framed passe-
partout than any other way. Such
frames should have n rough, creamy
white mat of watercolor paper, about
three or four inches wide, and should
be bound with white.
Photographs look well framed with
out any mai to the edge of the picture
and mounted in frames the color Of
the photograph. Photographs ordi-
narily fade, but the excellent English
platinotypes and the carbon photo
graphs are made so that they are
nearly permanent, like engravings, the
paper of which bleaches little. All
these pictures should be protected by
glass. Oil paintings are not seen to
advantage when they are protected in
this way, and are only placed under
glass under exceptional circumstances.
Dust oil paintings with feather dust
er, and about once year, at house
cleaning time, wipe them off so care
fully with soft flannel rag wrung
ont in warm water that the varnish on
the outside is not injured. Do not
attempt to clean a valuable picture,
but submit it to person who under
stands the business. New York Trib-

tract Of land 900 acres in area is given

grown two years they were grated
with the japanese chestnut. In from
two to three years the grated trees be-
gan to bear. and at the end Of ten years
they were yielding a bushel Of chest

they are palatable. They are used not
