ripe Old Age

The man that dies youngest, rs might be ex-
pected. perhaps. is the Railway Brakeman
His average age is only 81 Yet this must be
taken with some allowance, from the fact that
hardly any but young aud active men arc cni-
ployed in the capacity.
At the same age dies the factory workwoman,
through the combined influence of confined air,
sedentary posture. scant wages, and unrcmit-
ting toll.
Then comes the railway baggageman, who Is
smashed on an average, at 80.
Mlincrs and drcssmakers live but little Ion
ger. The average Of the one is 80, and the
other So.
The engineer, the fireman, the conductor,
the powder maker, the well digger, and the
factory operative, all of whom are exposed to
sudden and violent deaths, die on an average
under the age of IS.
The cutler, the dyer, the leather dresser, tho
apothecary, the confectiOner, the cigar maker,
the printer, the. silvcrsmith, the painter, the
shoe cutter, the engraver and the macliinist, all
of whom lead confined lives In an unwhOlcsome
none Of them reach the average
age Of 40. 80, :.
The musician blows his breath all out of his
body at 40. The editor knocks himself into pi
at the same age.
Then core trades that are active or in purer
air. The baker lives to the average age of i3,
the butcher to 40, the brickmaker to AZ, the
carpenter to 30. the furnace man TO AZ, the
mason To IS, the stone-cutttr to i3, the tanner
to 40, the tinsmith to il, the weaver TO A.. the
droycr to 40, the cook to As, the inn-keepcr To
46, the hborer TO a.. the domestic servant
(female) TO 43. The tailor lives 10 i3, the tai

ness in soap and waterl
Those who average over half n century among
are those who keep their muscles
and lungs in healthful and moderate exercise,
and are not troubled with weighty cares. The
blacksmith hammers till 81, the cooper till 50,
the builder till so. the shpwright till So, the
till so. The miller lives to be
whitcned with the age of 6l. The ropemaker
leng,hcns the threads of life to 81. Merchants
and retail till 80.
Professional men live longer than is gcner-
ally supposed. Litigation kills clients some
times, but seldom lawyers, for they average
55. Physicians prove their usefulness 10y pro-
longing their own lives to the same period
who, it is to be presumed, ENJOY q
greater mental serenity than others, last till 65.
Seafaring life and its adjuncts, seem, instead
of dangerous, to be actually conductive To lon
gevity. We have already seen that the ship
wright lives till So. The sailor averages i3,

\ dispensation of Providence that "Alainc
Law" men may consider incomprehensible is,
that brewers and distilers live to the ripe old

Last and longest-lived come paupers 81, and
''gentlemen" GS. The only two classes that do
nothing for themselves, aud live on their neigh.
bors, outlast all the rest. Why should they
wear out, when they arc always idle!
