Women Live Longer Than Men.
The census experts show that women live
longer than men and that there are two
periods of life at which the number of
women is greater than the number of men,
One of them extends from eighty-three
years of age to the end of life. and is prob
ably due mainly to the longer average life
of women. The other, from sixteen to
twenty-five years. they insinuate, is due
mainly to Misrepresentation by those won1-
en- who prefer to be under than over twen-
ty-five years of age. The excess OF men
would be very much larger were not the
death rate greater than that of women
Nineteen mon die every year to every six
teen women. In cities twenty men die to
every seventeen women. The greatest ddf-
ference in mortality Is among babies. For
some reason or another the mortality Is
greater among boys up to fourteen years
OF age than during any other period of
Life. 1t is an interesting fact, however,
that the death rate of women is lowest
between the ages Of twenty and thirty
the period at which four-dfths of child
births occur.
There has been a very large Increase in
the number OF women In the cities OF Eu-
rope and the United States. The excess of
women over men IN those cities Is tncreas-
ing every year. This IL ascribed to the en-
larged opportunities that are given them
for obtaining employment, and the theory
Is confirmed by the increased proportion
OF women among wage-earners in cities.

The Thanking Privilege.
We might also initiate Great Britain by
refusing to send these worthless reports
through the mails free OF charge. Then
our Post Office Department might become a
paying institution. No public document is
franked thorugh the English malls. II
you look in Eyre & Spottswood's catalogue
you will see that the amount of postage
required, as well as the price of every
document, Is given. With It's, however,
trainloads of government publications go
through the malls every month from
the mailing lists of senators and members
Of the House. and not one in ten is ever
read. 1t Is asserted that not half Of them
are even accepted at the post offices by
the persons to whom they are addressed.
There should be a competent committee
decide whether 1t is worth printing Then
when 1t Is printed, the fact should be
announced, with the price and the neces-
sary postage required. It Is doubtful, how
ever Ii the members of the Senate and
House OF Representatives would agree to
have their literary productions submitted to
censorship. although the joint committee
on printing is supposed to exercise some
sort Of authority In the matter. The pub

Waste of Money in Printing.
There has been good deal of talk about
the waste of money in printing public
documents. and the investigation made by
the joint committee on printing shows that
q million dollars Or more could be saved

applied to the selection OF reports and
