Centenarlans In Spain.

According TO statistics which have
just been published in Madrid, Spain
is wonderfully rich in centenarians.
The compiler indeed estimates that
there are twenty-five centenarians to
every million CT inhabitants. More
over, this proportion has been con-
stantly increasing during the last half
century. In 1857 there were twelve
centenarians to every million; in 1867
there were 1897 and in 1877 the num-
Der rose as high as 29S7 For a few
years after 1877 its proportion was not
as great as usual, but since 1889 it has
recovered almost all of its lost ground.
Centenarians thrive better in some
parts OF the country than in others. In
Andalusia there are more than any
where else. In Malaga the proportion
is something like one hundred to ev-
cry million of inhabitants. On the
other hand, there is not a single CEN
tenarian in the provinces of Soria. AL
va and Teruel. Broadly speaking, it
may be said that centenarians flourish
best in the country south of the Sierra
Morena, the proportion there being ap-
proximately from fifty to sixty to every
million OF inhabitants. In the north,
on the contrary. ii is very rare, nay,
almost impossible, TO find a single CEN
tenarian.

NOVEL WAY.
To Head OF Hungry Rats Decided on
by London Butchers.

London butchers have contrived a
new way of freeing themselves from
the depredations of rats. After some
experience it was found that the rats
could not be caught, nor killed in their
holes, and as they were making great
inroads upon the meat. something had
to be done. Whoever devised that
something is not known, but he was
a genius. He decided that the best
way Of keeping the rats from eating
what they should not eat was to fur
nish them with something else that
was just as good, and place it near
their hole. Accordingly dainty meal
consisting of bread, sweet biscuit, po-
tatoes and sugar was laid on the floor
next to the holes, and day after day
the bill of fare was changed. There
was to be no monotony which would
give the rats an excuse for going back
to the old fare. At first the rats,
chief of which is white-haired patri-
arch, were disturbed by these I'M
wonted manifestations of friendship
and severely left the food alone; but
in less than month there were hope
full signs that the rat heart was soft
ening. The food was gradually
whipped out of sight by the messen-
gers OF the guests and carried down
below to be eaten, and one day, to the
delight of the caterers, the elderly rat
cautiously popped his hoary head out
of the opening and looked furtively
round the shop. Presently he was
Joined by Others one of which, proba-
bly, the warrior of the party, had lost
an ear. Having so far established con-
fidence, those in the shop proceeded a
step further by holding the food in the
fingers close to the opening. Days and
days elapsed before this new move
met with success, but at last the wary
old rat came down and snatched a
piece Of bread from the hand of one
of the men and scuttled Off Within
week from that day an absolute I'M
derstanding was established. After
that they fed regularly from the hand.
Nowadays, at three thumps upon the
floor at noon, a whole battalion of rats
appear on the floor and group them
selves about the hole to take their
regular meal.-New York Press.

HUDSON BAY COMPNNY'S GUNS

Tampering with the money medium
Of exchange is the favorite method by
which labor has been robbed in every
age and in all nations up to and in
Guiding this century Probably the
greatest victims of swindles have been
the Indians and the black inhabitants
of Africa. Here is the way that the
Hudson Bay Company used to do it,
according to the San Francisco Chron-
icle:
I'm the early days in the northwest,
when the company laid the foundations
of great fortunes by trade with the
savages. and a gun paid for as many
beaver skins as would reach to the
muzzle of it, the skins packed fiat and
the gun held upright, it was alleged
that the barrel of the weapon grew and
grew with each successive year, until
the Indian, after he had bought it with
the peltry. had to borrow a file and
cut off a foot of useless metal"
It seems too bad that after filing the
barrel off the gun the poor Indian
didn't load it with slugs and blow the
head off the company's representative.
But an Indian that hasn't sense enough
to see that he produces more and more
every year for the same value received
is about on par with one class Of
white men of the present day.

DISTILLED WATER.
German Scientist Asserts That IL IL
Dangerous

Dau&CNOuSs
A noted German scientist has writ
ten pamphlet inveighing against the
use of still water. His studies show
that it withdraws the salts from the
animal tissues and causes the latter to
swell or initiate; isolated living or
ganic elements, cells and all unincel-
lular organisms are destroyed in such
water, dying, since they become en-
gorged therein; that is, they lose the
faculty, upon which life depends, of
retaining their salts and other soluble
cell constituents, and consequently
these are allowed to diffuse throughout
the water. Similarly, the same pois-
onous effects must occur whenever dis
titled water is used as drink, the
sense Of taste being the first to pro-
test against the article, with an i'm
mediate movement to rid the mouth
Of what has been taken; the local pois-
onous effect of using the water making
Itself known by symptoms of catarrh
Of the stomach on slight scale. The
ordinary distilled water, even when
freshly distilled, is not in fact abso-
lutely pure, while that used in labor
atories and clinics is, of course, gen.
orally stale-has been kept standing
In open vessels, mostly in rooms where
chemicals Of every sort abound, and
whose gases and effluyia are taken up
by the water.

Sugar as Food.

In paper recently published on the
value of sugar as food compared with
fat, NJ. Auguste Chauveau maintains
that its nutritive value is considerably
higher than that deducted from its heat
of combustion, and that the calculation
that 0.756 pound of the former is equal
to one pound of the latter is in many
cases exceeded. The increase in rela-
tive nutritive value is due largely to
the fact that sugar promotes assimila-
tion of the proteids and reduces dissim-
ilation, and the value of food must
necessarily depend not only upon the
energy it is capable of supplying, but
also on the indirect influence that it is
capable of exerting in the renewal and
formation of animal tissue. From
whatever point of view the matter is
regarded, the superiority of sugar over
fat as a food. whether for men at rest
or at work, is very distinct.

many girls away from comfortable
homes in smaller places only to leave
them disappointed and grief-prostrat-

scarcely be said against it. There is
very little chance for employment in
Detroit just now. Stenography and
typewriting have been overdone, and
as to other positions, the manager OF

cent of those are from women. No,
there are very few opportunities open

Photographic the Baby

A young photographer, when asked
what sort of subjects presented the
greatest difficulties to him, replied
without a moments hesitation, "Ba-
bies. / don't mean the babies them
selves" he added. 'lr is not so hard
to get what | consider satisfactory
negatives of them. It's the relatives
that make all the trouble.
For instance" he continued, Il
took photographs of little ten-month-
old fellow the other day in six differ
ent positions. Yesterday sent proofs
to his mother, and today she brought
them in.
I'm sorry, she said, without any
obvious grief, but none of these mega
tives will do
Not one of the SKIP l inquired,
though l was prepared for what was to
follow.
No. she said, I'm afraid not. You
see, l like this one very well, though,
Of course, it doesn't do the baby JUS
tice; but his aunt Ellen says it's an
absolute caricature of the dear little
fellow. The one she likes I don't care
for at all. and his papa says he should
never know for whom it was intended;
it looks so cross, and baby is such a
sunshiny child.
The one he likes, this smiling one,
| shouldn't consider for moment, for
it makes baby's mouth look so much
larger than it really is.
His grandmother chose that one,
but as Cousin Fanny said, there's a
very queer look in the child's eyes in
livery queeri However, she likes
that one where he's almost crying, that
sober one. You ought to have heard
baby's grandfather when she said sEs
li,aca It.
He really decided the thing, for
what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why didn't have some more
taken, and see If there wouldn't be at
least one mat would look like baby.

hard for me to spare the time, but you
see it is the only thing to be DONE

According to a paper communicated
to the Academic des Science, the cath
ode ray, which, in striking on the walls
of the vacuum tube, gives rise to fiuor-
escence and Roentgen rays, is of a ma
terial nature, since it coats the inside
of the tube with the metal forming
the anode, or discharging point, OPP
posite to the cathode. The effect is
like what one sees in the ordinary cleo
trio arc lamp, where particles of the
positive pole of the arc, are torn off by
the electric discharge and carried over
to the cathode or negative point. 1t
seems probable, therefore, that an
electric arc might produce Roentgen
rays.

The railroad expert believes that the
number OF revenue tons hauled per
mile is the best indication of a rail-
roads ability to handle traffic at the
lowest cost of transportation. As is
well known, the receivers OF the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad have been
spending millions on improvements
and have not completed the work. the
lines west Of the Ohio river being in
need OF a general rehabilitation, which
they are to get this year. But the
revenue haul per mile in 1898 was
Increased to 3l4 tons and a special re-
port for the six months ending De-
cember 81, 1898, shows an average OF
SSl.s tons, quite an appreciable ad-
vance. 1t Is confidently expected that
still further Improvement will be
shown before long.

PLASTER CASTS FOR sPRAINs
Hot Water Is Used First to Reduce the
Inflammation.


Plaster casts are now entirely re-
lied upon in sprains as far as the limbs
are concerned" explained a we'll
known surgeon to Washington Star
reporter, as well as in the treatment
of fractures. And beyond the cast
there is no further treatment neces-
sary. The cast should, however, not
be put on until the Inflammation in
consequence of the injury has disap-
peared To reduce the Inflammation
continuous application of hot water is
found TO be the most efficacious rem
edy. When once the Inflammation has
gone down an antiseptic bandage
should be put on the injured part and
on this the plaster bandages and
splints. This incases the hand, arm,
foot or leg in plaster boot, which
keeps its place and keeps the injured
part intact. The old-time idea that
sprains should be treated with embro-
cations and liniments, which hung on
for so long, has about disappeared in
the modern method of treatment, and
experience has shown that a cast is a
much safer way of treating a sprain
than by rubbing it with liniments. 1t
is, besides, a much more rapid way of
restoring the functions of the injured
part The cast should be kept on as
long as possible-at least a week I'M
der all circumstances, and in cases Of
a sprained foot, ankle or leg for ten
days or longer. In cases of injury
caused by sprain of the ankle or foot
the plaster cast should under no cir
cumstances be removed in less than a
week, for the greatest care is required
in their treatment, otherwise the in
jury becomes permanent"
