Would you like to live to the age of Methuselah? Then, according to the latest authority on the subject of longevity, you should spend the re- mainder of your days in the south of Spain. According to statistics which have just been published 1n Madrid, Spain is wonderfully rich in centenarians. Tire compiler, indeed, estimates that there are 25 centenarians to every 1,000,000 inhabitants. Moreover, this proportion has been constantly increasing during the last half century. In 1857 there were 12 centenarians to every'1,000,000; 'in 1807 there were 13.97, and in 1877 the number rose as high as 20.81. For a few years after 1877 the proportion was not as great as usual, but since 1889 it has recovered almost all of its lost ground. Centenarians thrive better in some parts of the coutnry than in others. In Andalusia there are more than any- where else. In Malaga theproportion is something like 100 to every 1,000,000, of inhabitants. On the other hand, there is not a single centenarian in the provinces of Soria, Alava and Terrie]. Broadly speaking, it may be said'that centenarians flourish best in "the coun- try south of the Sierra Morena, the pro- portion there being approximately from 50 to 60 to every 1,000,000 of in- habitants. In the north, on the con- trary, it is very rare, nay, almost impos- SIble, to find a. single ,cenrenarian. CHANCE TO BE A KING. It In Only Necessary to Buy Ongof ' These Islands and Lord It Over the People. Here was a great chance for people wishing to become independent landed proprietors. The French government offers for sale some of the little islands situated at the entrance of the bay of St. Malo, on the coast of Brittany. Formerly , when the famous French pirates Jatques Cartier and Sourcouf ‘ brought down the wrath of the]: nglish on their heads by their acts of daring, the victims tried to get near enough to St. Malo to throw fire-brands and to dis- charge cannon into the town. but they VV ere never able to succeed in passing the islands. The French government has taken away the cannon from the fortified walls of Gouchce, La Plata, La Ron- fleress and one or two other of these blocks. The state, which is always short of money, found it a needless ex-- pense to keep up this pmperty and so offers it for sale. ' The inhabitants of St. Malo are very uneasy and discontented at the pro- ceeding. And not without cause, for. no restrictions having Been put upon the sale. the highest bidder will become practically their king, be his national- ity what it may. Annual Sales overG,OOG.OOO 30x0.
