Women Live Longest.

Women are said to be longer lived
than men. Among centenarians the
proportion of women to men is almost
double. There are in this country 2,5S3
women who have reached the century
mark. while there are only 1898 men
who have lived so long. In France
seven out of ten centenarians are
women, while in the rest of Europe
there are sixteen women among twen-
ty-one centenarians.

It appears that every European ma

It appears that in the matter OF
spreading typhoid, the oyster has been
unjustly maligned. Some experiments
carried out under the direction of the
British Royal society show that sea
water is inimical to the growth of the
typhoid bacilli. Bacilli were placed in
oysters, and, although their presence
was demonstrated IL one case on the
twenty-first day following, there still
appeared to be no initial or subsequent
multiplication of the germs. AS to
green oysters, the investigators say
that some are wholesome and some are
not. The greenness in the former case
IS due to the presence Of harmless
vegetable pigment, with which, also,
there may be associated small guam
tity of an iron salt, but this has no
connection with the coloring matter.
In the other kind of green oysters the
color is due to a deleterious salt OF
copper. The epicure is therefore rec
commended not to eat green oysters un-
less he knows where they came from.

A country in which nearly all the
people are readers is sure to produce
a large crop of authors. During 1898
it is said that about seven thousand
books were published in the United
States, including reprints; and New

more than million copies of maya
