LONGEVITY OF VARIOUS RACES
At Twenty the Americans Expccta- tion of Life Is Longer Than
 Other NationaIities.

It has often been remarked that while nothing is so uncertain as the duration of any given human life, nothing is more certain than the az gregate of years which may be as signed to group of 100 persons o1 more at any particular age. The ex. pectation of life at a given age, to use the actuarial phrase, differs con- siderably, as might be expected, in different countries, and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that they are not the longest lived among the white races. At the age of 20, says the Lon- don Globe, an Englishman in average health may expect to live AZ years. and any life office will grant him pol icy based on that proba bility. The Hmerican's expectation is for slight ly longer period. On the other hand, a German lad of 20 can count upon lit tie more than 39h years. It would seem. therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American tempera- ment does not necessarily conduce to the shortening of life, nor the compo- sure of the German to it's prolonga- ton. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population is the princi- pal cause of their greater longevity. Their position is, at any rate, main tained in later as well as in earlier years. The American who has reached 50 may look to complete IA years more while the Britisher's expectation is only about 13 years and ten months. and the Germans as nearly as possible 12 months less. Both at 20 and GO the Frenchman's prospect is little better than the Germans and a little worse than the Englishman's.

THE RESTAURANTS OF PARIS.

Paris correspondence of The London Chronicle.
The subject of Partisan restaurants deserves spe-
cial mention. The world renowned gastronomic
temples are now either things of the past or have
reached the stage OF splendid decay. The boosted
cuisine of the Brillat-Savarin school has been
done in other capitals, and the present generation
is too travelled to pay 10 francs for hors dCeuvTe
to be deceived by spurious Vintages. pseudo
quails and dishes concOcted with bottled mush-
rooms meat extracts. DuVal. with all his faults
has levelled prices another reform being the sub
stitution of the Teutonic 'braSsere' for the paa-
tal frauds intended only for nOuveauX riches
Excellent meals may be had for anything above
francs on the following lines: ASK for white
red wine in whole or half carafes. Remember
that portions always divided-one being suffi-
for two, and two for three diners lunchers
The average prices Of dishes vii vary from rs
Centimes to francs The total In most instances
will reach nearly francs. The tariffs have not
changed This, of course, does not apply the
restaurants at the Exposition. which ought in a
general way to be avoided.

THE NEW APPORTIONMENT.
BERGEN COUNTY HOPES TO GET ONE MORE
MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE.

MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE
The taking OF the census has excited unusual in
terest In Bergen County for the reason that, al
though no figures have been given out. 1t Is well
known that the increase Of population there mas
been so great that Bergen will have strong
claim upon the next Legislature for an additional
member of the House of Assembly. Apparently the
only cloud to this prospect of the pleasure or
sending three Assemblymen to Trenton is the ract
that Union and Passac counties will also show
gains IN IN RarEen Viii those counties
ask for additional representation. Union ASKING
understood however, that only two of the three
counties can have their ambition grained, there T
be made TO give up one member each to ADMIT q OF
prosperous and growing districts, - no-u.n
These facts have set the leaders of Bergen
minds clearly on one point, and that is that they
must be so well represented in the next Legs,
lature, which will make the apportionment; that
the county will have the, advantage Of skill IL and
will by no chance lose the desired extra seat In
that body or course IN me Sena ared 3or v
The matter has been thoroughly canvassed. and
1t has been decided by number OF lnhuentlal
Bergen that the county must take no chances
Trenton s1iS the Acknowledgment whose influence both
personal and as leader of the House, was undis-
sure. and express themselves that no one can
in the matter Of the new apportionment than f.
w Wakelee. His prestige as third year man
of successful and conspicuous work in the House
assure him an influence that hardly any other man
that Bergen will without doubt gain third seat
1t is proposed by the same Republicans who have
decided to urge Mr.. Wakelee's candidacy that the
other member of the Bergen County delegation
should be Assemblyman Bell who served two years
Trenton and who. like Mr.. Wakelee, would
command influence that coulo not easily be welded
by man.
Owing to the absence of avowed candidates for
the Assembly nominations these suggestions have
against any incipient booms. and are being
received with much favor throughout Bergen
