A Remarkable Book.

In 1868 2. T. Barnum wrote his Autobiogra-
ply for Burr q Co., the celebrated publishers
in Hartford, Conn, for which they paid him
$4,000. 1t made book OF 500 pages, was
profusely illustrated, gave particular ac-
count Of Barpum's eventful life in all parts Of
the world, and included his celebrated lecture
on "The Art of Money Getting" Horace
Greeley pronounced the book worth hun
dred-dollar greenback to many a beginner in
life" The publishers sold 10000 copies of
the book by subscription, at three dollars and
a half copy. In 1871, when Mr.. Barnum
started his great travelling shows, he bought
back the copyright and stereotype plates Of
his book for $4,000, added an Appendix
bringing the account of his life up to that
date, printed an edition Of 100000 copies,
sent them with his travelling shows. and sold
the whole of them at cost, one dollar EACH
He has added an Appendix each year, which
has now increased the volume to thousand
pages. It averages a sale of 100000 copies
each year. They are neatly bound in muslin,
gilt, and sold in all his travelling shows. As
his patrons emerge from his great show tents
with his book under their arms. they look as
II coming from circulating library! No
book in this country ever had such an enor-
nous sale, or SO abounds in curious incidents
Of real life and valuable experiences -Buf-

The Duration Of Life.

The following facts on the duration of
life appear in the DeuAsche Ve,sicher7lnqs-
Zestung: In ancient Rome, during the
period between the years 200 and 800 A.
d., the average duration of life among
the upper classes was 80 years In the
present century, among the same classes
of people, it amounts to 80 years. In the
sixteenth century the mean duration of
life in Geneva was 21.21 years between
1914 and 1888 it was 40 68 years; and at
live to 70 years of age as 800 years ago
lived to the age of 43. In the year 1893
the British Government borrowed money,
the amounts borrowed to be paid in an
nuities, on the basis Of the mean dura-
ton of life at that time. The State
Treasury made thereby good.bargain.
and all parties to the transaction were
satisfied. Ninety seven years later Pitt
established another tontine or annuity
company, based on the presumption that
the mortality would remain the same as
100 years before. But, in this instance,
1t transpired that the Government had
made bad bargain, since, while in the
first tontine 10000 persons of each sex
died under the age of 20, 100 years later
only 5,772 males and 6,416 females died
under this age. From these facts it APP
pears that life under certain favorable
influences has gained in many and proba-
ply IN all its forms and manifestations,
both in vigor and duration. 10 still
further promote this tendency it is only
necessary that those conditions under
which the attainment of the desired end
Is possible be made to accord with the
fundamental laws"
