Out of every thousand men twenty die
Annually. The numter Of inhabitants of a
city or country is renewed every thirty
years. The number Of old men who die in
cold weather is to those who die in warn,
weather as seven to four. The men able to
bear arms form the fourth of the inhabitants
of a country. The proportion between the
deaths of womeh and men is one hundred
to one hundred and eight. The probable
duration Of female life is sixty but after
that period the calculation is more favorable
10 them than men. One half of those who
are born die before they attain the age Of
seventeen. Among three thousand one
hundred and twenty five who die, it appears
by the registers that there is only one per
