will be light this year. The reason assigned is
that it is an odd year. The editor adds: ''We

STATISTICS OF INTEMPERANCE.-At q recent
meeting Of the London Statistical Society, q
very curious and instructive paper was read by
L. g. p. Nelson, ESQ.,, on stThe Rate of Nor
tality among Persons of Incorporate Habits"
What gives peculiar value to Mr.. Nelson's paper
is the circumstance that not only does it record
the results of such actual observations ON the
subject as he and others have been able to make,
but that 'his object in collecting facts being to
apply the results to life insurance operations,
with which he is supposed to be connected, lhis
results being stated in language and form most
familiar to such insurance companies there is
the greater reason to rely that his collections
were made with care. 1t is to be remarked, as
stated by himself, that his observations include
only 'wcll marked cases Of intemperance-oc-
casional drinkers or free Ivers not being taken
into consideration" . @2I Ah5
From his observation in England and Wales,
Mr.. Nelson finds that the average mortality
among intemperatc persons is more than three
times as great as among other classes. In early
life, from u to 80 years old, 1T is FIVE times as
great 1t appears from Mr. Nelson's tables
that while, Gin England and Wales, temper
| ate man, at 20 years Of age, has what the lie
insurance men call an equal chance (that is, .
| fair average probability of living 1872 years,
| the incorporate one has an equal chance OF
living 1916 years At 30 years Of age the prob
ability is; for the temperate man 36.5 years;
for the iutemperatc, 1873 years: at 40 years
old, it is for the two, respectively, 288 and l16
years .. .. ...t.. au.asg. -l A
Mr. Nelson also states that the average dura-
ton Of life, after the commencement of intem-
pcrate habits, is g among mechanics aud work
inginen, Is years; among merchants and traders,
IL professional men and gentlemen who have
nothing to do, 10; females, generally, Ia years.
He notices, too, the differences in the ehanee5
| among the drinkers of fcrmented and spirituous
liquors: beer-drinking averaging 2l.7 years.
spirit.driukers, l6.7; drinkers of both beer and
spirits, 16,l-which is new illustration Of the
danger of mixing ones liquors.
| Mr.. Nelson estimates the number of drinkers
| in England and Wales at 33,358 males, and
IL ,223 females; being one male drunkard to
every "a men, one female drunkard to every
434 women. We suppose that this estimate,
terrible as it is, includes only the open and
shameless drunkards The class of !" free hpers"
who get eight decently, in their own houses,
| after dinner, is not embraced in the estimate.
