BEST WIVES I'M THE WORLD.

According TO Mary Nimmo iaientine,
in the August Wonan.s Home Compan-
ion, the men in South America hodth
women in highest respect. Not only do
they accord them the polite distinction
of outward reference, but they guard
them With an earnest solicitudc that.
protects them from every care, and they
bear for them every burden that man
can carry for woman. The chivairy of
the olden time survives among these
people, and that is doubtless one reason
why the Women are 50 contented with
their lot. She says further:
A charming sonora assured me that
the South American women make the
best wives in the world, and l do not
doubt il. After marriage the Woman is
az one lost to the world Her career is
finished SO far az matters outside her
domestic affairs are concerned. Her
sphere Of influence is henceforth in
sclosel within the triple courts of her
husbands house, and consists in bring
ing up her children and in exercising
mild sovereignty i'll her domestic do
main. There are no married firts in
South America, no scandals caused by
unfaithtul wives. no ambitious women
pining inftheir secludedhomes, 30 far az
is known There are no woman,s rights
conventions, no wonans temperance
societies no daughters, no mothers
meetings There isa net even a woman,s
whist club in the whole country. The
wife knows nothing of the family fnan-
ces, and she is not consulted in the con-
sideration of her hubsand's serious af-
fairs The question may we'll be asked
by the women of the United States,
What in the world 90 these women do
with their time2 and the answer is that
their days are quite as full Of activities
mental and physical, as they wish them
Ito be. South American women do not
crave the freedom and the publicity of
life they see enjoyed by their sisters in
this country. They prefer the seciusion
with the protection Of their own method
of life. They are very charitable, too,
and are kindness itself to the poor peo-
pie in their neighborhood, as they send
portions of bread and meat every day

WOMEN LIVE LONGER.
Because They Lead Moro Regular
Lives Than Men.
New York Journal.l


New York Journal.]
The fact that the anticipated length
OF life is greater for women than for
men is one which. most probably, has
been noticed by comparatively few peo-
pie, yet 1t is borne out by statistics.
What Is the reason OF this differences.
Physicians do not credit the 1ser sex
with superior vitality. We usually re-
gard woman as being of finer suscep-
Utilities and aggregation OF nerves, and
quickly than the rougher ones. In
short, women are the weaker" yes
sells, and as such they should not last
50 long. Man. who leads freer life
and goes in for athletics to far great,
er extent. ought to outlive woman by
many years, yet he succumbs sooner
than she.
One reason commonly assigned for
the difference is that SO many men are
engaged in unhealthy occupations.
That is true; but those who advance
this reason forget that numbers of
women are employed in professions or
business in which they run very great
risks. Think Of the women, young and
mid Me-aged, who are acting as nurses,
attending on patients suffering from
infectious or contagious diseases. Even
In the household it is the woman who
attends to the sick members OF the
family. And the women workers at in
furious trades are to be counted by
thousands.
The most probable cause Of womans
longevity are the regularity Of her life
and her innate cheerfulness. They are
potent factors in existence. but they
are often lost sight Of by the stronger
sex.
Women are apt to call their lives
monotonous rather than regular, but
whether this is SO or not 1t Is this same
ness which serves to lengthen the du-
ration OF their existence. More so than
men, they have the same duties to per-
form day by day. They rise at the same
time, have their meals at stated inter-
walls, superintend this or that household
duty on given days. and retire to rest
at about the same hour. They have
their worries-the children fall Ill or the
servants give troubIe-but these are
light compared with the anxieties to
which men are subject.
Men, either thru necessity or neglect,
do not maintain the same regularity In
the times Of rising, eating and retiring.
They are more given to pleasures that
take them out Of the groove. and as 1t
is upon them that falls the responsible
ity OF keeping the house together by
providing the necessary financial re-
sources, they are subjected to business
worries and troubles of which their
partners know little OF nothing.
Even where 4 woman remains ainRlA
and has to earn her own living, she Is
not troubled TO the same extent: she u

COMMON SENSE IN THE ELIst,,-

[New York sunni


The Hon. Frank Jones of New Hamp-
cratic national committee, Will support
Mckinley and the gold standard, on the
gl@nnd that the only rea! issue of the

II that declaration Mr.. Jones adds

While German Americans dread Inn

have an idea that it Will take years to

people. and the uncertainty of the value
of their savings is bound to agitate

That Is, these German Americans, -
like sensible citizens generally, will vote
on the real and immediate issue and not
on an imaginary issue of the possible
future. They are more reasonable than
Mr.. Ottendorfer himself, for he says
that he Will vote for neither Mckinley
nor Bryan. tho he acknowledges that
the only real and serious issue of the
campaign is between them.
Mr.. Ottendorfer may be willing to
throw away his vote at the election or
TO Withhold it. but the citizens of COM

stock or any other, Will cast their votes
and SO cast them that they will most
tell on the result. Talk like his was COM

The letter of Mr.. Saunders was referred
to the District Commissioners for state

the court has advanced 1t for hearing on

if the Supreme Court upholds the consti-

will be relieved.
