AMERICANs LIVING LONG.

Chicago ~Recoro-Hera4o- - reasonably expect to live 100 years! some of the scientists are inclined 70 penevo that, 1t is. Whether we may LOOK TOT ward to such longevity or not, 1t IS cer. tain that science is making substanual advances in this country against 0is- ease and thereby prolonging ire. Tnls is shown by, the report of the vital sta- fisfica .department of the Census Bureau which contains figures that are nlgniy if ia found that the general death rate in the United States has declined l-S per 1000 of the population during the past ten years, and in 3A cities or S,OOV lnnaD- itants and upward the gain TOT ionsev. Mse cities show a reduced death rate Of 24 per 1000 inhabitants, as compared with the figures of }sso. v.rn. ,.or,s seem to have the best chance for living: There the death rate was IT per L0VO or population in 1900. In the cities or St- habitants are most nearly immune from death at the present time. There tne rate per 1000 Inhabitants is 91 and 9.7 respectively. Among the large cites cities, place, the death rate here Is given at I6.2 Gin fact 1t was only l46S per lVVOl in Pittsburg. Shreveport Oa.) is the most dangerous city to live in. the death rate there having been sS-S % in tbs bsOO .sraraI death rate the span of life has been heightened. In 1S09 the average age at which American died was 31.1 years: In 1900 the average age had increased to S52-more than four years in decade. Undoubtedly this promulgation of human life has been due to better sanitary regu- iatinos, to improved methods of fighting epidemics and to general advancement in various branches of science. There are good reasons for believing that the im- provements will continue. Indeed, 1t is hardly too much to say that they have only begun.
 New methods for preventing diseases or checking them before they start upon devastating courses are being put into practice almost daily, and as the people becom e impressed with the importance of proper drainage and sanitation the dif- aculties of securing those things are les- sened. These improvements, with increas- ing care and watchfulness, in the man. agement of hospitals, the rigorous en- forcement of laws providing for this iso- lation of contagious diseases, the prohi- bition of adulteration of foods and the abolition of public dangers, such as grade crossings of railways and buildings rem Aered unsafe either through the proba- bility of fire or collapse, must as the years pass result in still further length ening the average of human life.
 About the only particular in which There has been lack of progress is to be found in the lnattention of people to the appeal to cease hurrying and worry. fng themselves to death.

LEGISLATION BY LOTTERY.

With the exception of a nr" r@w .M;ennesdays devoted to bills. this is has f of registering the opinion of the fnuu use on any question he may bring be- rore 1nneh It: I1e privilege is naturally a a favorite topic on which they would nke to enlishten the House-even he who Wisnes to move an antt-gamblins reso- in inti1n on nas ,a no hesitation In taking part or members is decided
 Every Tuesday afternoon members who wisn 10 take part in the ballot put their names nan on the list at the table. These acts as master of ceremonies, writes the numbers on slips of paper and shufSIes them in a box. just. the same way as the names of horses and blanks are arranged in Derby sweepstakes at a club. This operation having been concluded, the clerk, pulling back the sleeve of his gown to show that there is no deception, pulls out q number and announces it. The speaker reading from the list calls the name Of the first prize winner, who ttnereupon gives notice of his motion for ,n; .nat gay four weeks. There are other prizes Tor those who are second or third. put the first motion generally lasts the value. ~
 And there is always the possibility of count out. unless the question to be discussed is particularly burning one. Of late years. owing to the immense in- roads which the government has made on privileges of private members, "counts out" have been as rare as swallows in March, but 1t Is not so very long ago when when they were quite common. In order to keep quorum together a mem Der who had first place for a motion used often to give big dinner party at the house; That extensive hospitality has doubtless ben extended for the last time. It would take a very dull subject to clean the house on Tuesday just now.

 { The chief value of all the amendations of the authorized version that do not deal with ac- tual mistranslations is that they show by contrast its superiority.
