Subsection of Man 10 Conditions.

In whatever relation we view man and
his actions, we almost invariably find that
though we are taught that he is a free
agent, nevertheless the evidence of the
domination of conditions governing and
controlling his actions sooner or later
looms into view.
If, for example, we examine into the
causes of mortality, we find that his con-
dition or occupations exert an all-lmport-
ant influence on the duration of his life
If he is very poor, his chance of death is
half as much again as if he were rich,
and as regards profession, Quetelet shows
that in Germany, for twentyfour doctors
that reach the age of seventy, thirty mil
itary men and forty-two theologians OBJ
tain their threescore and ten.
If we inquire into his honesty, we find
that it depends on his age to a certain eX-
tent, for between the ages of twentyone
and twenty-five the tendency to theft is
double what it is between the ages of
thirty-tive and forty. On this and other
crimes education has Il very important in
tluence, as is shown in Quetelets statistics
of crime in France and England. In the
former country, out of one hundred GRIM
inals, siXty-one could not read or write,
twenty-seven could read imperfectly, and
only twelve could read and write well.
In England, thlrty-siX could not read at
all, SlSUN-Onc Coull Ic'itl anu "litc
perfectly, and only three could read and
write well.
Actions which appear on the surface to
depend entirely on the will of the in
dividual are also strangely influenced by
apparently trivial causes. Statistics OF
suicide by hanging, for example, show
that the maximum of such cases occurred
between six and eight in the morning;
the number decreased slightly till noon,
th
imum, there being 1913 cases between ten
and twelve O'Clock against only - be-
tween twelve and two O'clock. The num-
Der rose in the afternoon to 104 cases be
tween four and six, dropping to an average
of about 20 through the night, the second
minimum, 40, being between two and
four O'Clock in the morning. How clearly
the influences of the midday meal and
the midnight sleep are marked III their
elevation of the mental tone, while the
depression of the morning and afternoon
at the prospect of another day or night
of misery is likewise indicated by the
increased number that sought relief in
selfdestructiOn.
Another instance of this influence of
obscure laws on the actions of man is the
statement by NJ. Quetclet that, in Belgium,
out of 10, 600 marriages in each period OF
five wears from 1911 to 1865, men aged
from 30 to 45 married women aged 60 or
more NJ. Quetelet thereupon remarks:
cit is curious to see man, proudly en-
titlIng himself King of Nature, and
fancying himself controlling all things by
his free will, yet submitting, unknown to
himself, more vigorously than any other
being in creation, to the laws to which he
is under subsection. These laws are CO.
ortlinotcd with such wisdom that they
even escape his attention. '-Scrabher'S fer

As grew older took in more fully the
meaning of my dream, and the recollec--
ton of the dark, scowling face that looked
into the mirror, in striking contrast with
the sweet content of my mother's-the
vain search for forfeited love, checked
many an outburst of temper.
Little boys and girls-keep those
smooth foreheads, sunny eyes and smiling
lips, and there will be no danger that
your parents will ever doubt your identi-
ty or even wish to substitute another
child for their own darling. -Hfoerssde
