Women and Worry.

Despite the fact that women have
been warned that worry digs untold
wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles
gray among their tresscs, they win go
on worrying through all time or until
time has solved some mooted ques-
tons
IL women had the capacity with men
of getting up and doing battle with
things, worry would slip off their shout
ders as easily as from Off those of the
average masculine. Man doesn't worry

To pay his debts some time Women

Man doesn't usually worry about his
health, because he really has not the
time. Man doesn't worry about the fu-
ture-he Is so madly Interested In the
present: nor about his clothes, for the
tailor stands between him and that;
nor about home matters they, from
his point are too trivial-until he

aud then in his broad outlook there is
no excuse for this state Of things; for
in business circles If an employe does

LONGEVITY OF TIE JEWS
Careful Meat Inspection in Part Re
sponsible for This Condition.

Careful Meat inspection IN Part Re.
sponsible for This Condition.
From time immemorial physical
yigor has been considered an essential
condition to longevity, and yet the
Jews falsify this condition. Physically
the Hebrew is poorly developed. Cen
turtles of oppression have stamped out
his physical yigor, If not his vitality.
The European jew is understood, and
markedly so. His mental vigOr, how
ever, Is unimpaired, and probably on
the whole Is superior to his neigbbor's
Tie is a city dweller and betraya Inc IN
herent dislike for hard manual la5o
or for physical exercise or exertion IL
any form. He is averse TO out-of-door
sport. He prefers to live by Ills brain,
rather than his muscle. His chest ca
pacity is limited, and he possesses
many other features of physical degcn-
efacy In fact, his physical makeup is
what one would expect to find in
short-liyed man. And here is surpris-
Ing feature. Possessing so few of the
elements so long considered as neceSA
til, .ongest lived of any race of peop.e
now In existence. His tenacity of life
is remarkable.
In spite of the social conditions
which surround the mass of the He
brew population the world over, and
especially In the large cities of Amer
len. where they form a large percent
age of the population, the death rate
among the Jewish Inhabitants Is but
little over half of that of the average
American population Prof. William
H. Ripley, in his papers ON the racial
geography of Europe In the Popular
Scienre Monthly, discusses the Gues-
ton very ably and very fully. He states
that II two groups of 100 infants elch,
one Jewish and one of average ATleri-
can parentage, be born upon the same
day, one-half of the Americans viii de
within forty-seven years, while the
first half OF the Jews VIII not succuhtb

while 453 Christians. more than twice
a. many, are likely to die within the
same period. The immunity of the
Jewish population from accident on
account of their indoor occupation Will
account for some OF the discrepancy;
but OF this very account they should
be more liable to epidemic and other
disease. This is not wholly true, how
ever. They show an abnormally small
proportion of deaths from consumption
and pneumonia, which are responsible
for the largest proportion of deaths
among the American population Prof.
Ripley ascribes their immunity from
this, as well as from other diseases TO
the excellent system of meat inspec-
ton dessribed by the Mosaic law Hon-
man SAYS that in London as much as
one third % the meats offered for sale
are rejected as unfit for consumption
by the Jews. Probably the temperate
habits for which the Jews, as race.
ARE noted will account to some extent
for their longevity.

PROTEST FILED.
Objections to the Seating of Republic
can Delegates-EIect.

The defeated candidates for delegates to
the next national republican convention,
Messrs. Lee and Reyburn, have filed with
the national committee a formal protest
against the seating of DR.. J. E. Jones and
w. Calvin Chase, who, it will be recalled,
received a majority of over 1000 votes in
the recent election. The protest is ad-
dressed to the secretary of the national
committee, under date Of the 18th instant,
and sets forth that:
Col. L. NJ. Saunders, member of election
board, D. c., having protested against and
refused to sign the certificates OF election
of Messrs Jones and Chase, you are hereby
notified not to honor the certificates of cleo
ton to DR.. ]. E. Jones and W. Calvin Chase
as delegates from the District of Columbia
to the republican national convention TO he
held in Philadelphia June 10, 1900. We
have indisputable evidence that Dr. Robert
Reyburn and Rev. George W. Lee were
elected as delegates by large majority Of
votes at said election.
in case of the issuance of such certif-
Gates of election to Messrs. Jones and Chase,
you are hereby notified that their seats in
the next republican national convention will
be contested on the grounds of scandalous
frauds having been committed during the
election for delegates held in this Dis riot
on March 6. 1900
1t is signed by Robert Reyburn MD. and
Rev. George w. Lee.
