to transfer his allegiance. He managed
to get a chapel on Chaplain road, Lon.

his reputation. He issued circulars

1t will be seen by the above tables
that the United States are far healthier
than Europe, and that the Northwestern
States are much the healthest part OF
this country. The average death rate in
Europe is one in forty-two, while in the
United States it is one in eighty.one. In
other words, the death rate in Europe is
nearly double what it is in this country.
ana nearly three times what it is in the
Northwestern States.
We have long believed, from observa-
ton, that the Northwestern States are
among the healthiest portion of the
globe, and these statistics 20 to show
that fact. We have here some unpleas.
ant diseases, but few that are malignant.
Some portions of the country are annu-
ally swept with fevers that prove almost
as destructive Of human life as the pes.
thence, but there is seldom anything of
the kind here.
These statistics show another thing,
and that Is, that Notwithstanding all
that is said in regard to the busy and
excited life of Americans wearing them
out, the mortality rate is less than
among the slower going nations. This
Is probably largely owing to the differ.
