Some very interesting investigations Wive recently been made in regard to the effect of clluinte on the duration of human life. Statistics on this sub - ,feat are rare, and any one w111 admit that exact knowledge is very desirable, To physicians and invalids such knowe ledge will prove especially serviceable, 1t has long been held. that men live longer in temperate, then in tropical and sub -tropical olimales, and statistics allow that such is the case, Out of ev- ery 1,000 inhabitants in Germany, Great Britain and Holland, There are seventy- seven over sixty years of age, in Den- mark, eighty-four, in Sweden eiglr'ty- eight and in Norway ninety. In B,uesie the inhabitants of the northern prov- inces live as a rule longer than those in the southern provinces, In Austria and Portugal the number of sexagen- arians in every 1,000 does not exceed seventy-one whereas in. Spain it is only fifty-eight and in Greece £iffy -six. INTERESTING STATISTIC'S. In the .East Indies and in South Am- erica the duration of Life is unusually short, the number of persons out of every 1,000 who attain the age of sixty being fifty in the latter country and only forty in the former. Of all the countries in which men live to a ripe old age, France stands at the head, the number of sexagenarians being 127, while Ireland takes the second place with 105, The United States of America are not notably fortunate in this re- speeti' though there re certain sec- tions which are much more favorable as regards longevity than others, For example, the inhabitants of the older States axe said to live on an average to amuoh greater age than the inhab- itants of the Western States, The 04 - mate of England, is as a rale, favorable to human Life, and attention is drawn to the fact that, awarding to the cen- sus of 1800, there were in that year in England 188 persons over ninety years ofTceand question to be en answered nersons ow is, Wby is one climate more favorable than another? Of course it is easy to un- derstand Ivey a tropical or sub-tropi- os8 climate is less favorable to human life than a temperate one, but it is not so easy to see why in one country with a temperate climate men should die earlier than in an adjoining coun- try with an equally temperate climate. For example, why should men live long- er in France than in Spain? Evident- ly the climate cannot be the only rea- son.

I'lilaee whet"' the Thermometer Drops Lower Thou at 1ho IClondllur, There Is as yet no positive record of the lowest range'of the thermometer in the upper Yukonregion, but it is safe to assume that this ean•ge extends year- ly to the 50 -degree or -60 -degree line, with a not improbable occasional de- scent to a somewhat lower level. This would be approximately this low-level. temperature of the true Arctic regions, and yet by 130 means the lowest that has ever been recorded. Thus Kane, in his Arctic service, has seen -75 de- grees, and the officers of the British polar expedition of 1876 recorded an equivalent temperature of -72 deg. On the other hand, the lowest registry of Mr. Peary's thermometer was only - 58 degrees. Compared with regions lying to he further south, the Win- k.): climate of the h"londyyke does not differ in severity materially from that of many parts of the more thickly in- habited positions of British America as Manitoba or Alberta or even from Da- kota or eor'threan and central Minneso- ta, where almost annually the mercury freezes in its tube. While possibly sufficiently low to meet1al the requirements t q s o" human happiness or discomfort this" freezing cold is yet far from equalling what is a regular occurrence in many parts of inhabited Siberia, .At the governmen- tal town of Yakutsk, which is situated a short distance without the Arctic realm, a spirit marking of -75 degrees is no infrequent event, and even ---80 de- grees is beedly sufficient to disturb the equanimity of the inhabitants. In the winter of 1894-95 the low record of -82 degrees w ea Belied. as tabB lied. At Perko- jansk, just beyond tike Arctic Circle the thermometer 10 a single day in Circle, 1890, marked -90 degrees. 1l}bis is the lowest natural cold that has ever been recorded, but the region which it marks bas loamgg been recognized as one of the "poiseof cold" of the earth, In- cidental reference to a cold of -80 de- ggrees has been transmitted from the Lilondike, but t1h i'o can be little come- tiara that this, is an exaggeration of the actual severity of the climate the result of careless observation or of instruments whose muting is imperfect, ONE JUST JUDGE.

EOULOIIS, CI EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., REVIEW. Newspaper edi+ora are almost as soeptioal as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people, Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either en editor or a doctor ''o seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonic were received frons men and women all over the country before physicians began to prescribe tiffs great remedy in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sink headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of sick- ness• During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Pari,, Ont,, Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advorticements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully - worded puff for his patrons as a matter ,00f business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own pe"sonal experience, has ho given a testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public has proved each a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical es the South American Nervine Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose, and it has cured when Sold by Dea b doctors and other medicines were tried in vain, • "I was prostrated with a particu- larly severe attack of i La Grippe,'" says Mr. Colwell, '• and could find no relief from the intense pains and dis. tress of the malady. i suffered day and night. The doctors did not help me, and I tried a number of medi- cines, but without relief. A.bout this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonic, Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Tour Nervine Tonic cured me in a single week." The South American Nerriae Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its direct action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities new concede th a t fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South American Nervine Tonio acting direct upon the nerve centres andnerve tissues instantaneously supplies themwith the true nourish. ment required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately. For all nervous diseases, for general debility arising from enfeebled vital - sty, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other remedy can possibly take its place. dman & MOHMANDSSUBDUED• Nothing inseams le be Dome but Collect the pille& campaign against the b6ohreands has been successfully concluded, and note- ing now remains but to collect the fines.
