longevity Is the Century's CHER char-
ac.eristic-Its Causes.

What has been the chief character
;stic Of the nineteenth century? No
two critics agree, nor can they, because
each prefers a different quality. One
singles out science, another invention,
as the dominant trait. A third, who
looks mainly at the political aspect OF
life. says democracy. Others, again,
say pessimism. philanthropy, DOUBT, OF
federation. So many features, so mucn
| diversity. argue at least for many
sidedness. SAYS the Forum. There is
one characteristic, however, which dis
tinguishes the nineteenth century from
all previous centuries-a characteristic
which has become too common 10 at
! tract the attention it deserves, al
though it really measures all the rest.
This is longevity. During the past
100 years the length of life OF the
average man in the United States AMI
in the more civilized parts Of Europe
has increased from a little over 80 10
40 years. A multitude of causes,
mostly physical, have contributed 10
this result. Foremost among these
! should be placed Cd whatever mar be
included under the general term SAM
tation; (2) the more regular habits Of
living which are the direct outcome OF
industrial life on a large scale. These
are some of the evident means by
which life has been heightened. In
ventions, which have made production
cheap and the transportation Of all
products both cheap and easy, have
had an influence too great TO be COM
puted. And no doubt much has been
due TO a general improvement IN
methods of government; although in
the main there has been much less
progress in practical government than
is commonly supposed. NO great rail
road company or banking house or
manufacturing corporation could pros
per if it's officers and employees were
chosen and kept in Office according to
the system by which political offices
almost everywhere are filled. None
but experts wanted" is the sign writ
ten over the entrance to every profess
sion, trade and occupation except gov
eminent. But, whatever governments
have done or left undone, the fact to be
insisted on here is that the average
man today lives almost ten years long
er than his grandfather lives. lndis-
putably, therefore, the year 1900 finds
conditions more conducive to longevity
than existed a century ago. This is
true beyond question for the masses,
who feel Immediately the effects OF
plenty, hunger and cold-the great
physical dispensers of life and death,

Quaint Remedies Prescribed In New York
When the Century Was Just Beginning

When the Century Was just beginning
At the last meeting of the New York
Historical society DR.. Sydney H. Car

There has been some speculation
among the curious as to the prevalence
of gripes at bedtime among New York
ers of a hundred years ago. The rem
edy for this complaint prescribed by
the physicians was nutmeg and brandy
and the yolk of an egg to be taken be-
fore going to bed. For apoplexy, salt
and cold water were to be used, where
upon the patient was Immediately to

to crush a ladybug between the thumb
and forefinger and then to rub the
finger on the gum and tooth. Freshly
crushed bugs were recommended. For
