SINGULAR FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE
The average length Of human life is
about % years. One quarter die pre-
lious to the age of T; one half before
reaching II. Only one of every 1000
reaches 100 years. Only six Of every
100 reach the agesof 50, and not more
than one in 500 lives to 80 years Of age.
Of the whole population on the globe,
it is estimated that 10000 die every
day;about 300 every hour rand so ewes
ny minute, or one every second. These
losses are more than cOunterbalanced
by the number of births. The average
duration of life in all civilized countries
is greater now than in any anterior pc
riod. Macaulay, the distinguished his
torian, states thai in the year 1855
not an unhealthy year-the deaths in
England were as one to 20, but in 1850,
one to 40. Dupui, q we'll known
French writer, states that the average
duration of life in France from 1870 to
l843, increased 50 days annually. The
rate OF mortality III 1881 was one in 30,
but in 1850, but one in 40. The rich
