The Gentle Sex.

An eminent English statistician has
calculated that of two children. boy
and a girl. born on the same day the
boy will have only seventeen chances
against eleven of living one year. while
the girl will have twenty-One chances
against eleven From five to fifteen
there appears to be but little difference.
but from fifteen to nineteen the boy
will have 900 chances and the girl 277
chances of living against one of death.
If a thousand ablebOdied men and a
thousand ablebodied women be armed
and equipped for battle and ordered on
a long. weary march more men. says
this authority. would probably reach
their destination. while more women
would be found exhausted. but more
men would be found dead by the way
side-New York American.

In Japan the Rich Paw More.


A common complaint made by tour
lists in Japan is that they are obliged
to pay for everything far higher prices
than the natives are charged, or. in
other words. that because they are for
eigners they are being fieeced. but
glance at the social conditions by which
the people have been educated would
reveal the curious fact that throughout
Japan's long period of isolation it was
an accepted principle that the rich
must live for the sake of the poor. and
prices have always been based upon
the purchasers rank in society or upon
his presumed ability to pay. This un-
