An Optimistic View Of the Disease an,
Mortality Question-Improved Chances.

An Optimistic View Of the Disease and
Mortality Question-Improved Chances
Isl. Louis Globe Democrat
The greatest mortality exists where
the people are packed together in dense
masses. The introduction of steam cars
and street railways has changed the
character of most cities to very great
extent. London has spread with amaz-
ing rapidity, and the average mortality
of the great metropolis has been
measurably lowered by the relief from
crowding afforded by the under and
oyerground railways, omnibus lines and
tramways. The efficient omnibus and
tramway system of Paris, with their
cheap fares, enables many thousands of
workingmen to live in the pure suburban
district, instead of being crowded to.
gether in small apartments, as was the
ease in former times. The same is true
80 far as railways, steam and street, are
concerned in our own and all other large
American cities.
But the greatest cause of improved
chances of life is the introduction of
sewers, the paving Of streets and a gen.
eral diffusion Of the laws Of sanitation.
Ii has been found that We may repel
disease as well as an enemy at arms.
We build forts, fleets and arm them
with improved weapons of var, TO resist
the warlike invader. When pestilence
threatens, while perhaps we pray less,
we keep our bodies, dwellings aud cities
more Sleanly, ami while some may ar
que that our faith in spiritual things
has weakened aud our hope OF glory in
the next world less tangible, We have at
least secured longer lease upon this.
The people Of the world were never
so comfortably and respectfully clothed
as to-day. The costumes Of past CEN
turies were picturesque and most ad-
mirable for the purposes of the artist,
but the read y made clothing of our time

as durable, its small cost permits fire.

A CONTEMPORARY very forcibly re-
marks, that one prominent cause of
the increase in suicides in large
cities is that men and women want
to enjoy the sweets, comforts, and
Injuries of life without working for
them. They fail to recognize that
one of the most pleasurable emotions
which money is capable of conferring,
springs from the sense of its having
been honestly earned by steady labor.
To the recipient of another's bounty,
the beneficiary of another's toll,
money cannot bring true pleasure,
and the more it is squandered the
quicker safety steps in. 1t is possible
for poor man to be very happy
with five dollars, and for rich one
to be miserable on 1--WE millions.
Chill penury may freeze the genial
current of the soul, but the worst
sort of penury is that which is be-
gotten of idle discomfort and greed
of riches without the desire or capa
city of honestly obtaining them. The
startling increase of suicides in
Berlin has its foundation in no higher
cause than idleness, selfishness, and
sensuality, combined with the de-
mands on the purse to which these
unenviable Injuries give rise.
