WOMEN LIVE LONGER.

More Centenarians Among Women Than Among Men— Why Is It Sot A report from the office of the regis-trar-general of England shows that there are more female than male centenarians, says the Baltimore Sun. Out of 1,000,000 people 225 women reach the age of 100 years, while only 82 men rohnd out the century. 'Now, the great conundrum which is proposed is: Why is this so? According to the popular superstition, it takes much longer for a woman to reach even the age of 50 than it takes for a man to reach that age. If this is true, it makes the showing all the more remarkable. It has even been asserted that association with women makes a man |iye longer, as shown by the fact that the average life of the married man is longer than the average life of a single man. The fact, however, is denied b3‘ the endmen at the minstrels, who says that the life of the married man is not really longer, but only seems so. So far there is no satisfactory explanation of the original proposition why more women live to be 100. Some say it is because women are less addicted to tobacco and strong drink, others say that it is foecause it is more healthy to spend money than it is to earn it, and so on. It may be many of the men who would live to be 100 are killed at an early age in casualties to which women are not exposed. It may be that tight lacing is a life preserver, and it may be not a fact,, after all. Possibly the English registrar-general may be mistaken. The situation is replete With possibilities. ,

FAR-SEEING FATHERS.

Planned the Capital at Washington for the Nation’s Future Greatness. Our great-grandfathers had some idea of the future grandeur of this country when they planned the great capitol building at Washington, for. although this magnificent structure is one of the noblest public buildings in the world, there is reason to believe that its plan is. in the main, what was projected by Washington and his coadjutors, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The old north wing was founded by Washington in 1793 and finished in 1800; the old south wing was founded in 1811 and very soon after completion both were burned by Boss and the British troops. Between 1817 and 1827 the edifice was rebuilt, and the new extensions. forming the present chamber of the house of representatives and of the senate, were begun in 1851, the house moving into its new quarters in 1857 and the senate not until 1859. The dome was erected between 1856 and 1865. The length of the capitol building is 751 feet and 4 inches, its breadth from 121 to 324 feet, it covers 153,112 square feet; from the base line to the top of the statue its height is 287 -feet and 11 inches. It cost over $13,000,000.

MINED DURING HARD TIMES.

Total Value of Uinerab Dug Out in This Country Daring 1898. The annual supplement of the Engineering and Mining Journal shows that the total amount of the mineral and metal production of the United States in 1896 was $751,732,782, an increase over 1895 of $18,791,264. In gold the total production was $58,660,637, or $11,830,437 more than 1895. The production of sliver was 56,222,322 fine ounces or 9,891,087 ounces more than the previous year. The pig iron production was 8,623,127 long tons, a decrease of 821,801 tons. Coal production amounted to 187,373,477 tons, being 1,922,167 tons less than 1895. The production of copper was the largest ever reported, being 467,822,973 pounds, or 81,350,000 pounds increase. The production of lead was 174,792 tons; of spelter, 77,637 tons; of quicksilver, 833,480 flasks;* of alum, 77,700 tons; of cement, 8,487,265 barrels, and of salt, 13,354,573 barrels. The production of gold, silver, copper and pig iron is greater than that of any other country in the world, and that of coal is exceeded only by Great Britain.

An Important Omission.

At a prayer meeting recently held in one of the churches not a thousand miles from Utica there was manifested a desire on the part of some of the participants to praise themselves. One man, says the Utica Observer, even went back to the days of his boyhood; to show how good he had been even at that time. He said that one day, while walking along u country road, he suddenly discovered in one of his pockets a dollar belonging to his employer, which he had neglected to turn over to the latter. With crushing force the thought came to him that his employer would miss the dollar and believe him to be dishonest. Overcome by that thought he sat down by the roadside and wept. There the story ended. Those who heard the pathetic narrative were deeply moved, and one of the women present subsequently told her young son about it, probably with thv intention to produce a good effect upon the youthful mind. But the youthful min<j didn’t seem to be impressed. The thoughtful boy remained silent for a few luotnents, and then he burst out with: “Say. ma. did the man tell whether he ever gave the dollar back?”

The Press in Japan.

Japanese journalism, says a missionary's wife, is a singular profession in many of its features. There is practically no such thing us freedom of the press in Japan. Whenever a new spaper publishes something unfriendly to the government it is suppressed, ami the editor is sent to prison. The real editor is never imprisoned, though. Every new spaper has what the Japanese call n “dummy editor." and his sole duty is to go to jail every time the paper is suppressed for offending the mikado. Then the real editor changes the name of the paper, and keeps on publishing it. Dummy editors spend most of their time in prison.
