ARE GIRLS HEALTHIER? :?
More Boys Born in Western Europe Yet Women Outnumber Men
 Possible Explanation.

Since more boys than girls are born in the countries of western Europe, the proportion being from 1,O40 to 1,060 boys to every 1000 girls, how can we account for the fact that there are more women than men in those coun- tries?
 To this question M de Varigny, French scientist, replies at length in leading Paris paper Since there are mere women, although more men are born," he says, i've must conclude that more men die than women, be- cause they are not as Healthys There IS no other solution, and moreover, all the obtainable facts point in the same direction. More boys are born than girls, yet there are almost al- ways more girls than boys. Many persons think that the principal req son why more men die than women is because they lead intemperate lives, but though there may be some truth in this, it cannot be the sole solution of the problem, as the mortality among males is greatest during their early years, before they know what vice or intemperance means The first two years of life are extremely dangerous in the case of boys. and those among them who are attacked by almost any ailment are less likely to recover than girls of the same age are Indeed, un- til he is i've years old, the average boy is delicate, and this fact alone ex- plains why the number of women ex- ceeds that of men"

The democrats caught the republi- cans unawares at the eleventh hour in congress and placed them on the spit and toasted them to a rich brown. Tn the first place the Hon John Sharp Wil- Hams, the able and vigiIant floor lead CT of the minority in the house, ob
 tafned favorable reports on both his resolutions aimed at the yitals of this republican administration. One of those resolutions requested the attor- ey-generaI to inform the house whetn- CT any investigation was ever had at his suggestion of the so-called anthra- cite coal trust, and to send to the house all reports, papers and documents bear ing on the case. The other resolution requested the attorney general to in form the house whether any. criminal prosecutions have been Instituted by the department of justice against the individuals or corporations who were adiudged recently by the supreme court of the United States, in the Northern Securities case, to be guilty Of having violated the laws of the United States. and to send to the house all papers and documents bearing upon any prosecutions inaugurated or about to be inaugurated in that behalf.

Thomas T. Edison, who Is written and talked about as much as any man in the country, says in an article in Outing that he keeps his health by dieting: Ut is not the laborer who has gout. A man must eat according to his work A laborer needs more than a man of intellectual pursuits. My diet consists of meat, vegetables, eggs in fact, anything that want, but in small quantities. I don't really care whether I eat or not; it is not my pleasure. One soon gets out of the habit of caring much about his meals. If the doctors would prescribe diet, instead Of drugs, the ailments of the normal man would disappear. Of course, if the body is not all right, if something organic is the trouble, that is different; but half the ills come from over eating; then drugs, So that people can eat more. Half the people are food drunk all the time. I never had an outdoor recrea- tion. Diet is the secret of my health. I have always lived abstemfously. It is a religion with me. My father be- fore me practiced dieting and he in stiIled the idea into me. I am hardly what you would call an outdoors man"

Goss, R. N. Blakeslee and E. c. Adt have to cringe it will not be necessary for them to whimper much this time, for they still hold the whip hand. A few of the men, whose names were mentioned by our contemporary this morning know what it means to be lashed, however, and if you don't believe it ask Lieutenant Sandland what he thinks about School Inspector Tyrrell and the men who placed him in his present position. There are others in the list published to-day, also, who know what 1t means to be in the mi nority in the republican party. We hope the editor of the Center street organ will heed our admonition and get into the band wagon. Those republi- cans who have lived longer in Water bury than he has, and who have at times tried to kick over the traces, could tale unfold, if they wished, which would set him a-thinking.

The feature of the week was the un- usually heavy exports of gold, amount ing to about $13,0OOOtO. says Banker CleWs. If we are not mistaken, these are record shipments, and they may have been stimulated by preparations for payment for the Panama canal Aside from this special demand, how ever, this is the season for gold ex- ports, and the recent decline in our merchandise shipments foreshadowed an eff1ux of gold. There is every prob ability of this movement continuing expressed if we ship considerably more gold this season than for several years past. The causes stimulating gol4 shipments just now are a diminished trade balance. the Panama canal pay ments and an increased foreign de- mand for gold resulting from the war. The first and last of these causes are likely to continue for some time, and as the United States now holds an un- usually heavy supply of gold and our bank reserves are high, we can look upon the outflow of the precious metal with comparative indifference, if not satisfaction, as it is simply going where it is most needed and where it will accomplish the most good. The total shipments thus far during this movement have been about $18O00, ,000, and as considerable arrivals of Japan csc gold have been reported on the Pa cidc coast, our supply has not been de pleted by that much. The bulk of this gold has gone to Paris, suggesting pre- parations for the Panama payment, though the reports of Russian loan may have had something to do with the rumor. Paris, however, is the chief point of strain, outside of Russia and Japan. for France has not only suffered severely from depression of Russian bonds but is the most likely country to furnish Russia further outside fnan- cial aid when needed.

Waterbury, dt seems, is destined to
 have another strike. The workers in three trades, numbering about eight hundred men, are out to-day, and there is no telling at this writing when they will go to work. 1t is cer- affairs exists. Waterbury had hard ly recovered from the effects of the big trolley strike, and now to have to face another, it seems as though the city is up against it for fair The tradesmen of Waterbury should have hesitated a long time before proclaim ing this strike. It seems to us as though it were an unWise move. The contractors are willing, invariably, to do all they possibly can, but there is a point beyond which they cannot go. They have much at stake, while the men have nothing invested. They must run the ship rain or shine, and be ready with the money to pay the bills. The men in nine cases out of ten are better ofT than the posses, TOT when their days work is done they can go home or elsewhere and enjoy life, while the bosses must pore over books, contracts and plans and figure where they can save q dollar and yet give their customers all that is expect ed of them. It is not all a bed of roses for a man because he has ten twenty Or one hundred men on his pay roll. An early settlement of the present difficulty is earnestly hoped for, and the Democrat hopes the men will meet the bosses at least half way. i
