A man from the outside, a trained and exneri
nced lawyer, holding a high federal position, know
ing none of the parties, and having no purpose to

geiai me real truth of the matter. Assistant Attor
ney General Young appears to have these qualifica
tions, lie will leave tor Alaska in about three wwb
and will spend the greater part of the summer in the
tlisagreeable duty to which he has been assigned. He
is quite likely to come away profoundly imnrpl
with the soundness of the tradition that there is
wmethmg about the atmosphere of the far nnrtWn
territory which is unfavorable to the cultivation of
veracity. But be that as it may, it is to be hoped that
he is a man of capacity adequate to suggest at least
a partial remedy, if not a complete cure, for Alaska's
enronic complaint.

When, therefore, Mr. Dunn declares himself. "Wi.

dry summer," it is the part of wisdom to give heed
to his words and make our plans accordingly. Lay
ing aside for the nonce the- theory that "weather

in duration, which would give us a repetition of the
lot and arid days of the summer of the "centennial
jaar,"'1876, which' followed an unusually cold, long
the same holds true of the experience of the k
tween the ages of 13 and 2.). But after that age the
relative immunity of women makes itself evident.
Thus, while 40 years ago many more women died in
Massachusetts from comaimption between tho nf
20 and 50 years, at the prcent time many more men
than women die in Massachusetts from thi ....
ing these three-age decades.
"The chief point in Dr. Abbott's
think will be of interest to all, and perhaps of sur-
