women Healthier Than Men.

Since more boys than girls are born
in the countries of western Europe, the
proportion being 1,04O to LOGO boys 10
every 1000 girls. how can we account
for the fact that there are more women
than men in these countries: To this
question NJ. de Varigny. a French sci
enlist replies at length in a leading
Paris paper 'Since there are more
women. although more men are born.
he SAYS, I'VE must conclude that more
men die than women because they are
not rs healthy. There is no other So
luton. and. moreover. all the obtaina-
BILE facts point in the same direction
More boys are born than girls, yet
there are almost always more girls
alive than boys. Many persons think
that the principal reason why more
men die than women is because they
lead Incorporate lives; but. though
there may be some truth in this. il can
not be the sole solution OF the prob
lem. rs the mortality among males IS
greatest during their early years. be-
fore they know what vice or intemper-
ance means"

An Introduction to napoleon.

In December 1872. when Napoleon,
after his disastrous Russian expedition,
made his secret and hurried journey
from Smorgoni to Paris, the following
incident occurred: At Gragom the snow
lay too thick for the emperOr's carriage
to proceed, and Count WOnsowicz was
informed by the postmaster that a
Pole. NJ. Wibcski. living near, had
lately ordered a most convenient trav'

his newly married daughter
At first the Pole refused the most
pressing offers for its purchase. but
when lie learned that the carriage was
required for the emperOr's use he moi
only yielded. but asked as its price
that he might be presented to the EN-
perOr. Napoleon complied; but, unwill
ing to accept the carriage as a gift he
gave orders that 1000 ducats ($2,OOO

How Trousers Came to De Popular.

How Trousers Came tO be Popular.
Trousers came into use for general
wear with tie French revolution. The
gentlemen. the supporters Of royalty
and sound constitL uOnal principles,
wore breecheS. The sans culOttes,
who denounced every one who wore
breeches, finally went beyond their op-
ponents and wore twice as much cloth
around their legS-in Il word, adopted
the modern trousers and made them
the badge of party. Napoleon, who
was too thin at one period OF his LIE
and too stout at another TO look his
best in small clothes, nevertheless wore
them on state occasions after he had
been crowned emperor. His army was
the first that wore trousers, and they
kept progress step by step with The
march of tie French lee Ons.
The French trousers were seen in
Egypt, in Spain, in Italy, in Germany
in Poland and in Russia. and With
them the neat gaiter. People thought
that the manner in which great con
quering nation clad its legs was the
correct model. and when the trousers
wearerS marched over tie we iers OF
"details ana zee brecches at Jena and
Aucrstadt decision was given froH
