THE LENGTH OF YOUR LIFE.


 According to M. l. Schooling of Brus- self, there is very easy way of calcu- lating the age to which a human being may reasonably expect to live, but it Is only applicable if his present age lies be- tween twelve and eighty-six years The method is really an old one, and was originally discovered by the mathe- maticlan Demoivre, who in 1865 emigra- ted from France to England, and be- came a member of the Royal society. The rule is this: Subtract your present age from eighty-sx, divide the remain der by two, and the result will give the number of years which you may expect to live. The rule may be approximately correct for some ages, and represents perhaps the nearest solution of an inso- lubIe problem at which we can arrive.-- Chambers Journal.

RAJAHS, NEW AND OLD STYLE.

The Sporting Variety the Best Substi-
 ute for the Trouseriess, Dignified
 Ones.
 Of raiahs there are very many differ ent kinds, and much thought and care has been expended on the theory and practice of their production. The Gov ernment of India, while usually leaving them to themselves, has made an eX- ception in the case of their manufac- ture. It is exceptional that a native state passes to an adult heir-a rajah's life is not a healthy one; the average age of the ruling princess appears to be about seventeen-and the Government of India educates the minors. For young Rajput chiefs there is the Mayo College, at Ajmir rulers of wider influence usu- ally have governor told off to them from the Indian Civil Service or Staff Corps.
 The question is, what sort of man you should aim at producing. The old fash toned good rajah-the conservative, pious ruler, on good terms with his res ident and his subjects alike, but i'm partially disliking champagne, sanita-

| tion, bookmakers, female education and | trousers-was perhaps the most satisfac- tory, certainly the most dignified, type; | but he. alas though still extant here
 and there, must shortly die out. With
 him, as a compensation, will probably
 perish the old-fashioned bad one, the
 intriguer and backmaler who took greedily to champagne and bookmakers. and-now and then--trousers, but hated sanitation and female education none the less. Of the new generation the most familiar type is the sporting rajah. In what was practically the final of this years polo championship, the Patiala and Kotah teams were each explained by the Maharajah. Other young chiefs are not less eminent in the saddle, and the Maharajah of Pit iala is keen and useful cricketer. The Nizam of Hyderabad Is, or was, almost the best shot in the world. At his best the sporting raiah Is proba- ply the best solution of the difficulty of keeping a man manly when you deny him his hereditary pursuit of war. At his worst--and there is a worst-he be- comes bad imitation of the less gen. hieIildIiy klilu Ol SpblliuS peer. In cases it Is hard to get him to take the least interest in the affairs of his sub jects.
 After all, why should he? If a second Akbar were born in India we should not let him rule in his own way, and he would in that case rather not rule at all. It is childish to blame the raiah for being Oriental
 Thus see-saw the native states of h. dia-over a third of it's area, over a fourth of it's population. Up with a good rajah-down with bad; most up with very bad who brings in a British administrator. Many of their people would like to be annexed to British h. dia; others prefer things as they are especially everybody even distantly con- nected with the public service We might annex them-there is never any lack of pretext-and we might leave them entirely alone to serve as awful examples, and make our subjects con- tented by the contrast.

 Sir Edward Russell tells a story of MT. Bright's connection with the old Morn- ing Star as part proprietor, of his fre- quent visits to the office, and of his friendly communication with the conduc- tors of that paper. On one occasion he did write leading article. It was long, and had due prominence in the paper. But the editor and the other writers thought it poor and numbering, and 1t would not have gone in if if had not been written by the great man, whose contribution could not, of course, be re- fused. Next day Tory journal came out with a reply to It, the first sentencs of which was as follows: 'The great Tribune has laid aside his pen and some miserable hireling of the Morning Star has taken it up." MT. Bright called at the Morning Star office that afternoon, and with a placid, good-natured smile, said: q don't think writing can be my forte. ."-Liverpool Daily Post.
