DEATH Rate In VARIOUS OCCUPATIONS.

Nobody doubts that the occupation OF an
individual has much to do with his general
health, and with his chances of death Sta
tistics prove that the death rate is lowest
among scientists and professional men-not
physicians; then follow Protestant clergy
men, engineers, farmers and laborers; next
carpenters, machinests, and workers in iron;
then come scoolmasters. tobacconists. physi-
clans, and finally the clergy of the Roman
Catholic church, among whom the mortality
is much greater than among the Protestant
clergy and the other professions named.
Next we have druggists and butchers, then
miners and glass manufacturers, plumbers
and coppersmiths, railway employees and
dock laborers. and last of all carmen. cab
men, horse-keepers, an9inn-keapers, among
whom the mortality is. greatest, and much
more than double that of the first men
toned occupation,
The deduction which may DE drawn from
these facts are very instructive and practi-
cally useful they prove that the quiet pur-
suits of science tend to. prolong life as we'll
as outdoor labor, provided it is not on rail-
ways or among shipping or-horses; that to
work in iron is more wholesome tpan to
work in lead or copper. as might be expect
ed, while the confined labor-o OF a schoolmas-
ter is as injurious as the state OF ceebacy OF
the Roman Catholic priest; lastly. the inn-
keepers. being most exposed to the tempta-
ton of intemperance, have the least nance
for a long life, as well as those with whom
they habitually keep eompany.-Manutae-
turer and Builder.

i" Peter ParleY."

In the last number of Han er's Weekly
we find an instance of the wonderful
success of a nom de plume, as illustrated
in the case of MIR. Samuel Griswold Good
rich, at one time of Woodbury., Conn.
He made his first visit to Europe in
1928. Soon after he assumed the char
acter of Peter Farley, a chatty old gen.
tleman who loved to tell stories about
things and people to children and young
persons. The thing took Immediately,
and during long series of years Peter
Parley's books were poured forth in
amazing number and variety. More
than thirty years afterward Mr.. Good
rich thought it due to his own name
and fame to make public few autobio-
graphical facts. He said among other
things, In England my name has been
largely used as a passport for the sale of
books, / never wrote, while attempts
have been made in this country to de-
prive me of the authorship of at least a
hundred volumes which I did WRITE"
He gave an astonishing list of hundred
and seventy volumes written or edited
by himself, a hundred and sixteen of
which bore the renowned name of Peter
Farley as the author. Three hundred
thousand copies of the several works
were sold annually for some time before
his autobiography was written, and sew
en- million had been sold altogether. OF
one Of the works, among the earliest and
most successful of the whole, he made
the significant comment: "Two million
copies of it were sold; the publisher paid
me three hundred dollars for the copy
right, and made his fortune by it,. Mr..
Goodrich, proceeded to give list of 81
spurious Peter Farley volumes. published
in America and Al published in England.
He died in 1860; but the Peter Farley
gold mine has been worked ever since
on both sides of the Atlantic. :"

A Bishop's Mite.

While most of the church dignitaries
abstained from taking any part in the
services recently held to commemorate
Theirs death, the archbishop of Algiers
wrote kind letter to the widow, inform
ing her that he had assisted in person at
a service held in memory of her husband
at the Cathedral church of Algiers. It
is said that the friendship of Monsignor
Lavigerie, the archbishop of Algiers, for
NJ. and Nine. Theirs dates from the time
of the German war: He was present at
q service in Tours. Cathedral when. col
lection was being madeon behalf of the
wounded soldiers, and Nine Theirs was
one of the women who had::undertaken to
60 round with the bag. When she pre-
sented it to Monsignor Lavigerie, the
latter, who, not knowing till he came
into the cathedral that there was to- be a
collection, had no money about him,
dropped into the bag his pastoral ring.
When the money came to be counted,
the archbishop's ring was at once recoe-
nized, and Nine Theirs took it to a lew
eler's in the, town, and having ascer-
tanned that itjwas worth about sG7O.. paid
that sum into the fund and returned
the ring to Monsignor Lavigerie, begging
him upon her part and that of NJ. Thiers
to do them the honor of accepting it. Y

"Walking Cases" of Fever.

Anew Orleans physician, in private
letter, writes us that he follows the old
treatment in yellow fever, and has had
over hundred cases, with only sixteen
deaths. Two of the latter were walking
cases." The term is technical one,
understood in yellow fever districts. A
walking case " is patient who refuses
to 20 to bed and keeps his feet until he
drops dead. Sometimes he refuses to
admit he has yellow fever; sometimes he
realizes that he has the dread disease
and despairs of recovery from the start.
Sometimes the " walking case" manifests
the most abject fear, and again he dis
plays the courage and Indifference of a
spy led to execution. Sometimes the
walking" is confined to the patients
chamber, and then again he roams the
streets, with the seal Of death on his
brow, the dreadful black vomit oozing
from his Ii ps-an object of horror to all
whom he encounters. This stalking
death is not an uncommon feature of life
in New Orleans during the prevalence
of an epidemic. Many who passed
through the fearful ordeal of 1853, in
which nearly 5000 victims persisted, will
remember the case of John c., Mem
phis printer. He was man of splendid
physique and handsome presence, but
an unfortunate love affair had made him
reckless. He developed walking
case" of yellow fever, and for two days
and nights roamed the streets and fire.
quented the drinking-houses of the city,
in spite of all his friends could do,
finally falling on the street, and dying
before he could be conveyed to his lodg
ings. He would wipe the black vomit
from his lips, hold up the handkerchief,
critically examine the horrible exuda-
ton, and remark with grim humor that
his " coffee F." didn't agree with him that
morning. Death is dreadful at best,
but no disease presents so great horror
as walking case" Of yellow fever

An Eccentric Englishman.

A great number of persons are now
visiting Dulford House, Columpton,
England, the residence of the late Mr..
Bethel Walrend, whose strange and &C.
centric life was revealed by the will suit
that occupied so much time in the pro-
bate court at the early part of this year.
The premises are thewn open to the pub
lie in consequence of the sale necessary
to meet the order of the court for pay
ment of Lady Janet Walrond and her
daughter. The house and grounds are
encircled by brick wall, a mile in cir
conference and twelve feet in height.
The lawn was converted into rabbit
warren, the deceased keeping thousands
of rabbits. His chief companions were
his rabbits and his dogs He held the
belief, that on the death of human be-
ings, their souls passed into the bodies
of dogs. As these animals died he gave
them funeral, and on the lawn there
ten graves, each having head stone bear
ing an inscription setting out the name
of the animal, the place and date of
birth, and the date at which it died.
Until the day of his death Mr..
Walrond kept in his house the embalmed
body of his daughter, .whose soul he be-
ieved had found a resting place in the
body of one of the dogs. No one was
admitted by the deceased to the premises
without special permission for each visit,
and the entrance, as we'll as the front of
the house, was guarded by number of
cannon. The body of the deceased
daughter was kept in his dressing-room,
and his own bedroom was fitted up with
the view of familiarizing him with
death. He slept in a massive, canopied
Devonshire oak bedstead, on the foot
board of which there were three skulls
of females fixed. Over each corner of
the bed there was a black, feather
plume. In the bed, SO decorated he died.
The bed, the drapery of which was GRIM
son and gold, is now to be sold with 9TH
er things The oak furniture is very
massive, but most of the fittings show
sigus of neglect consequent on the de-
ceased's retirement. He spent the greater
portion of the last fifteen years of his
life in the study of the lawsuits in which
he was involved, and in the pursuit of
which he seemed to find enjoyment. It
is remarked in the neighborhood that he
did not mind who he went to law with
or on what subject he fought, and he
was regardless Of the amount Of money
spent if he could only beat his antagor-
ist. Atone time and other he employed
over forty solicitors, and he requested
that in every document his full title as
a grandee of Spain and as member of
various orders should be set out. The
extent of the deceased's estate in Devon
shire was 5000 acres.
