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

Interesting Statistics Compiled by a
Noted German Scientist.
Persons who desire to live to good
old age will do well 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 a 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 1875 were married and rs unmar-
ried OF 70 men who had reached the age
of 60 years he found that 4S were mar
ried and only % unmarried.
He next took SO men, each OF whom
was in his 10th year, and he found that
q were married and II unmarried.
Finally, he took 10 men, each aged 80
years, and found that 9 were married
and 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 80 and As is as high
as q per cent, whereas among those
who are married it does not exceed Ii
per cent.
1T is evident" says a French writ
er, who has closely studied DR.
Schwartz statistics, "that we must &C
knowledge the potency of these figures
and that if we desire to live to a gooC
old age we should get married as soor
as possible. We should certainly dc

CORAL RoRINo in THE.PAClr,6
Rssulta Of the E1podlslon sent Ou1
from England.

Rasnlta OF the ExpeditiOn Bant Ou1
from England.
From the Sydney Herald: The
steamer Birksgate, which arrived on
Saturday from the islands, brings fur
Their news from Fiji concerning the
coral-boring expedition at Funafuti, in
the Ellice group. News has been
taken to Suva by H. M. S. Royalist OF
the progress made by the expedition
after the departure O. Professor David
in the John Williams. When Profess
sor David left Funafuti on Sept.
the bore was down 557 feet. On Sept.
16, when the Royalist left Funafuti, the
bore was down SAB feet. The Royalist
took to Suva a letter for DR.. Corney
from G.. Sweet, F. G. S., who is now
the leader of the expedition, stating
that the boring for the last ninety feet
was chiefly in coral rock, and that no
sign of volcanic rock or of rock other
than coral had yet been met with IN
the bore. When the Royalist arrived
the expedition had consumed all their
coal, but Commander Rason was en-
abled to supply sufficient coal to last
them till the arrival of the steamer
Archer, from which it was hoped I'm
additional supply would be obtained.
Professor David states that, the bore
having already exceeded the depth for
which Darwin stipulated in his CLASH
cal work on coral reefs, and a good
core having been obtained throughout,
it may now be looked upon as a sue
cess. Information likely to be of con-
tanned, and he considers that the
general evidence so far appears strong
ly to confirm Darwin's theory that most
of the coral atolls of the Pacific have
been formed on areas of the earth S
crust which have been undergoing a
prolonged subsistence. A detailed re-
pert of the results obtained by the ex-
petition will probably be incorporated
in the report of the Royal Society of
London on the coral atoll of Funafuti,
the earlier portion of which will be
written by Professor Sollas, F. r. s.,
the leader of the Funafuti expedition
! last year. The bore at Funatuti Is
lined throughout with the best are
sian tubes, four inches in outside di-
ameter. Every foot of the bore had
to be lined with these tubes to prevent
fragments of coral rock and coral sand
choking the bore. The work Of boring
has proved very dificult on account Oi
the variable nature Of the strata
(quicksand alternating with cora,
rock), and also on account Of the ca
vernous nature of the coral rock, which
has caused such a Earring as to re,
peatedly break some of the strongest
cast iron wheels in the machinery. Tit
diameter of the core obtained from
the bore is two and one-half inches.

HOW TO PREVENT DREAMS,

Simple Remedy Advanced by n Physi-
clan to Insure wholesome Sleep.
From the Washington Star: After
a series of experiments on myself and
Others" ventured an experienced phys
ician, 81 am convinced that many an
noying dreams, which in many in
stances rob sleep of much of its recrs-
alton and benefit, can be prevented if
persons will take the trouble to do so.
There are dreams which are produced
by an overloaded stomach and indiges-
ton. These can be prevented by not
overlooking the stomach and taking
care, especially in the evening, to not
eat that which experience has demon
strated is not easily digested. A fairly
filled stomach, however, is less con-
ducive to dreams than an absolutely
empty one. 1 think I can safely say
that if those persons who are troubled
much with extra dreaming will wear
extra long sleeves III their nightgowns
they will ind a remedy thereby. What
is even better than long sleeves is 20
put a rubber cord in the hem of the
sleeve, so that they will not slip up
on the arm. The rubber cord should
not be tight enough to interfere with
the circulation of the blood in the
arms, but tight enough to keep the
ends of the sleeves we'll down on the
wrists. To 9he bachelors and others
who cannot have their sleeves prop
erly arranged the same emect can be
secured by wearing a wrislet on the
wrist or, better yet, to pull sock over
The hands and pin the leg of it to the
sleeves of the nightgown. In addition
to preventing dreams this simple ar
rangemert will be found extremely
comfortable during the cold nights of
the next couple of months. A little in
quiry will convince anyone that those
whose wrists and forearms are uncov-
cred are annoyed most by dreams.
The sock used as a kind of an extended
glove will effectually stop them, but it
must be attached to the sleeve of the
nightgown, otherwise the sleeve will
work up the arm and the desired effect
lost. My remedy, in brief, is to keep
the hand, wrist and forearm well Gov
cred"

Flames Drowned in MIX.

Two hundred and forty quarts OF
milk saved the home of Farmer Geo.
l. Platt at Milford, Conn, from de-
struction by fire. Platt runs a dairy
and keeps sixty cows. Saturday nights
milk was stored in the barn. The
farmhouse was newly shingled Sat
urday and the old shingles had been
put in the cellar, where, on Saturday
also, a servant put some hot ashes. At
8 O'Clock Sunday morning the shingles
caught fire. The well curb was broken
and there was no water available, SO
the farm hands threw milk by the gall
lon on the fire. The last quart extin.
guished the last spark.

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and he used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped. About
one year and six months ago he read in
this paper of a case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded 10 try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some-
what better, and after using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
has had since his boyhood.
