Two Views of Motherhood.

In the city of Toxic. We came upon
a gateway which smiled like a May
day festival, and like 1t, was full of
people.
whats all this fuss about?" my
friend asked me. Have they hit a
gold miner"
No, they had not. To the good
people the occasion meant a deal
more than the discovery Of gold. 1t
was the coming Of a baby. The proud
parents were sending out messengers
into the four corners of the city an
nouncing the glad tidings of exceed
ing great Joy. And I told my Ameri-
can friend:
do your people make such a fuss
about a baby? Babies are born every
day In this country. aren't they?'
Which was true. But We look
upon the matter entirely in a differ
ent way. 1t may be that this Is one
of the relics of the east, but We put
emphasis upon the continuation OF a
family line. Confueius. whose ghost
is much more powerful In Japan OF
today than all the prophets and
philosophers now living put together,
made c~hildlessness a just ground for
divorce. The coming of the baby
means to a mother more than meat,
ave more than a fashionable garment.
1t Is the social insignium with the
Japanese mother; nothing defines her
social rank as finally as the baby.

Longevity.

DR.. Cressy l.. Wilbur of the United
States Bureau OF Vital Statistics,
doesn't take much stock in the re-
ports which one reads occasionally as
to the extreme age reached by a few
people. In other words, he does not
believe that any man, ancient or
modern, ever lived more than 10
years, and he doubts If any have lived
that long. He says hat he has in
yestigated a number of reports OF
persons having attained the age OF
40 years, and one report where 1t
was alleged the person had reached
the limit of 129 years. but he has
not been able to verify any such al
legations.
DIR. WILDER would fix the limit OF
mans life on this sphere at some
thing like loo years. He states that
there are unquestioably cases where
persons have reached such a limit,
but beyond that limit there Is no
positive proof OF existence.
There Is really no advantage In
dragging out a few years at the
end of the course, SO that IL would
make no difference. so far as the last
ten years of a mans life Is concerned
whether he lived to be 100 or ITO.
But. In as much as the man who lives
to be 10 ought to be expected to re-
tain all of his faculties for a greater
period of time than the man who
dies at 100, 1t makes a whole lot Of
difference how long a man lives.
There Is something more than Idle
curiosity connected with the study OF
longevity. 1t is very important to
know how long the Oldest man has
lived.
When a man lives to a great age.
there is, OF course. a reason for 1t,
Just as there il a reason why every
mar does not live TO a great age. III
we determine. as we ought to be able
To determine, why one man lives to
be 100, we would know how almost
any other man could live to the same
age. For. despite the ancient maxim
