What Becomes of the Old Men,

Everybody knows the tendency that
certain articles have to disappear. 1t
has been repeatedly asserted in countries
where they use donkeys that no one
ever sees a defunct ass. Again, that ia
nous query, put by lady during an
lawful pause" at her own table, What
becomes of all the pins?' struck home
to every feminine mind. offering bound
less fields of conjecture. Mysterious,
however. as the ultimate fate of pins
undoubtedly is, it may be urged that
their very smallness favors their disap-
re1rance. but this cannot be pleaded
about old men, and the question we
raise to-day is, What becomes in this
CITY of the old or. elderly men? Old
women we see in numbers, but not old
men. OF course, We know that In bank
pgtiurs, trust companies offices, and
among the learned professions certain
number of elderly gentlemen may be
found, but We are speaking now OF the
many. Take, for example, walters.
How MANY gray-headed walters does
any restaurant frequenter recall in this
cirv? In the street-cars there are about
half dozen conductors known to every
one because they are white-bearded, and
hence so rare. while the drivers are al
ways men under 80, apparently-seldom,
indeed, rs much as 40 Walk about the
streets, notice the men employed by the
81 eat express companies; you will find
them Young. The laborers, the long
shoremen, the men employed at the fer
rics are also mostly young. Go
into stores; nine out of ten of the
statesmen are young. The hotel
clerks are Young, and so For the most
part are the barkeepers. Doctors say
that these latter seldom get beyond so.
Constant nipping undermineS their
hralth: aud hotel men, too, as q class,
10 not live long. though there are nota-
he exceptions. This absence of elderly
men is "a a stranger a notable feature
of New York, and it would be interest
ing to know its cause. Is it that the
conditions of life here are exceptionally
eNhausting, and that, except IN the
ccmparatiyely-rare cases where clrcum-
stance or constitution are especially
favorable. only low average of age is
attained? or is it that hundreds of men
emigrate hence after few years to set
tie in other parts of the country, re-
trrning. perhaps, at 40 to places whence
they came at 90? 1t is notorious that
Paiisians are for the most part not born
in Paris. and probably but limited
number of people in this city to-day
were born in IT. The infant mortality
is. we know. enormous, but how about
the mortality between 40 and 90? II
would be interesting to learn if that be
abnormally large as compared with
other places; and, if so, what is the pre-
vailing cause of death. Very instructive
tables were published in England some
years ago showing the average of life
among different voeations. 1t is be
heved by many that brokers and Others
in business life live here, as there, q
much shorter time than professional
men. Thoroughly-trlstworthy data on
tlds point would would be received with
great interest.-Netc York Times.
