LenQtheninQ of Life,

1t is established beyond doubt, that
during the Nineteenth Century there
was, in all the civilized nations OF the
world an important lengthening of the
average life, and that this improve
ment is especially characteristic OF the
last half of the century. It is also
clear that the improvement is limited
almost wholly to the earlier half of
life-that is to say, there has been an
immense diminution of infant mortal
ity. large decrease of the rate of
mortality among children and youth,
and, on the whole and in general, az,
increase in the mortality of advanced
life, most particularly among males
older than 55. Thus all these influ-
ences, while saving life, tend especial
ly to save lives which are feeble in q
greater portion than those whicm are
strong, and thus in the end must low
er the vitality of the great mass of
the pulatjon.-I1arper's Weekl4.

thing in the men behind the present

A mans evil deeds are nearly al.
ways the source Of more comment
than his good ones, yet the latter
should have preference. With the
average person it seems to be hu-
man nature to take more pleasure in
speaking Of the bad qualities of others
han to dwell upon their good traits
Perhaps this can be attributed, in
many instances, to the fact that envy
SAT the bottom Of it, and they who
delight in giving publicity to the evil
acts of others do so to keep them on a
evel with themselves, fearing that
their lives will show to a better ad-
vantage tnan their own. Newton
