Miss Amelia A. Barr tells the readers
Of the Lady's Review Of Reviews that
men are much more contemplate and
useless in their celbacy than are wom-
en-. An old maid, she says, can gener-
ally make herself of service to some
one. AT any rate, she never descends
to such depths Of ennm and selfishness
as do the old bachelors, who loll about
ON club sofas or who dawdle content
eddy at afternoon teas. An old maid
may be troublesome In church business
or particular In household affairs, but it
takes an old bachelor to quarrel with
walters and gruinble everyone insane
about the dinner menu. The unmarried
woman is becoming every year more
self-reliani and more respectable and
respected, and the unmarried man more
feminine and contemplate. What il
here said about the male celibate Is
from woman's view point and just
mite exaggerated. but 1t contains q
large measure Of truth, and the notab e
exceptions only accentuate the rule.
One of the first commandments to
Adam and Eve was to multiply and re-

The health bulletin recently issued
by the Census Bureau is the most in
teresting' publication OF the govern
nent In connection with the census OF
100. Its tables are a useful study
and AFFORD some surprising though sat
isfactory and promising results. The
most Important health and mortality
statistics relate to towns and cities of
over 5000 inhabitants. Probably the
conditions Of village, rural and farm
life do not vary materially from de-
cade to decade. 1t Is In city cOmmuni-
ties that the great Improvement In
public health has occurred, that the
average term OF life has been
heightened. The ruraf death rate Is
generally less than the city rate. The
improvement In the public health, the
lower death rate and the extended av-
erage term OF human life are pro-
nounced features Of city vital statis-
tics. Medical and sanitary science
have shown the most conspicuous
progress in cities. Improved methods
OF treatment and new preventives
have caused the partial eradication OF
some diseases. once the terror of man
kind, or have greatly reduced their
fatal effects. The scourges that In
former centuries swept away entire
communities and decimated nations
no longer visit mankind. The pesti.
lence does not walk at MONDAY. The
prevalence of famine and disease in
India last year is the only exception
to the general rule of amelioration in
heath conditions that has prevailed
throughout the world. In medical
science even the bubonic plague met
its c0nqueror. But 1t is in American
cities that medical and sanitary SCI
ence have wrought their greatest ben
etits. The publication of the water
supply and the sanitary disposition OF
sewage have caused an immense re-
duction In the extent Of sickness and
mortality. The better homes for the
poor. where more comforts are en-
joyed. are not invaded by diseases
which were formerly the peculiar af-
Fiction of poverty. The term Of hui
man life In the United States has been
prolonged. Ten years ago and previ-
ously the average age OF the people
at the time OF death was trifie over
81 years. The phrase "a generation"
wars understood to mean about 30
years. or the average lifetime OF man.
kind. The census Of 1900 shows that
the average at death In the United
States was fraction over 35 years. In
a decade four years had been added to
the general term Of life. There Is no
reason why the health Of the people
should not continue to improve. nor
why length Of life should not continue
to increase. The progress of science in
sanitation keeps progress with the
years. The health boards Of cities are
faithful guardians of the public. The
science Of medicine Is progressive. No
doubt the generation now living will
see the end Of many diseases. The
longevity Of the people will approach
