OLD AGE.
Some Interesting Reflections on Longev-
ity-Requ'sftes for Long Life.

Some Interesting Reflections on Longev-
ity-Requisites for Long Life.
With every year the average dura-
ton of life is increased. and we have
more old people on our hands. Natur-
ally. the question becomes of increas-
ing interest: How shall we secure a
healthful old age, and how can we
prolong in comfort this senility?
Some curious information regarding
this subject though more especially
regarding what NAV be called "cen-
tenarianism. has been published by a
gentleman of Syracuse. n. Y, who.
we are informed, has collected the
histories of 10000 people that have
passed the age of 100 years. Accord
ing to this authority, the United States
leads in centenarian longevity, while
Connecticut is ahead among the
States. As to sex, women: as to oc-
cupation. soldiers. sailors, and farmers
are the longest lived. Among the pro-
LESSONS. 100 ministers, 30 doctors. and
10 lawyers reached their centennial.
OF more practical and scientific
character are the statistics regarding
longevity obtained by the British Col
lective Investigation Committee. These
are based upon over 500 returns, and
relate to persons who have reached OF
passed the age of eighty.
Professor Humphrey. of Cambridge.
has given some interesting deductions
based upon the returns in an Grafton
recently delivered before the Medical
Society of London.
The first requisite for longevity must
be an inherent quality of endurance, a
something which is Unborn and perhaps
inherited. 1t is noticeable that the
phthisical faint does not necessarily
lessen the capacity for longevity.
Among 500 aged persons, phthi>is ap.
peared in fathers. mothers. brothers.
or sisters of eighty-two. that is. in
about seventeen per cent. In one case
both father and mother We're phthisi-
cal.
A second requisite for long life is
freedom from exposure to casualties.
1t is on this ground. in part that more
women than men reach extreme age.
Other reasons. however, are perhaps. a
greater natural vitality. since even in
early life the mortality is less among
females than males. 1t does not seem
to be proved by the data collected that
short and small men and women have
any advantage over those who are tai
Ter and larger. The average height of
old Englishmen is five feet six inches,
that of women five feet three inches.
Professor Humphrey would limit
quite sharply the changes which nor
mally occur in old age. They are
cumulative rather than qualitative.
There is dimiuution in material and
force, with perhaps slight increase in

THE SWINE INDUSTRY.

Some Startling and Interesting Figures.
For the past fifty years swine have
been grown in this country for market
purposes, and since the beginning the
industry has been constantly growing.
until now it has reached point in
magnitude which is quite astonishing
to those who have never before had It
ago the produce of the country was
only about 100000 year. In 1866
the number received at the Chica go
market alone was gel, TAG; in 1876 the
number was 1912. ITO. and in 1884 it
was 1853. 800. Estimating the moder-
ate price of 81 per head. the value of
the hogs received at Chicago last year
was 81, SIS. 736. This represents only
portion of hogs sold during the past
year. Kansas City. Cincinnati. Milwau-
kee and other markets having had COM
paratively increased receipts.
That the pork-packing institut ons of
this country are of much more magni-
tude may be seen from the following
figures: The number of hogs packed in
the West during the winter season
D.
erage of q. 20 per hundred pounds, and
pounds their total cost was SCI, 480.
exported during the calendar year of
1884 was $50, 96l. These figures
are supplied by the Cincinnati Price
Current, and may be considered au-
thentic.
The same industry is growing in other
ways than in figures. During the past
men have gwen much time and atten-
ton to the development of that part of
the business pertaining to the raising
and fattening of swine, and as result
of their labors we have to-day not only
improved breeds of swine, but we have
a more thorough, scientific manage
ment in their product on. Better sys-
toms of feeding and fattening have been
well as the quantity of food consumed.
and consequently the cost of produc-
ton. which is in the case of swine one
of the price-making facts.
The larger portion of hogs are pro-
duced in the States of Ohio. Indiana
Illinois, Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, Min
nesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. and
in some of these States the production
is on scale that is surprising. individ-
ual farmers and stock raisers no. I'M
frequently rails ing and shipping to mar
ket $4,000 worth of hogs in year.
The average weight of hogs shipped to
market is about 200 pounds. There is
room for improvement in this parlicu-
lar, and the time will come when by
more care in breeding and feed ,ng this
average will be increased fifty pounds
without additional cost to the producer.
The prospective supply of hogs is about
as large as at this time last year. and
it would doubtless be larger if large
losses had not resulted from the raw
ages of cholera during the past winter.
Hogs are born in the spring and in
the fall. and as they are usually ready
for the market at a year old the supply
IS naturally largest at these seasons.
According to the statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture the number of
swine in the United States is estimated
at 40. 143, 500, an increase of about 2.
GOO. 600 over the previous year. This
supply represents about 500, 00O, 600.

the oily matter of the tissues; all other
changes are pathological.
Among the most marked of senile
changes are those of the bones. These
lose in weight. but not necessarily in
size; indeed. they may even increase in
size by sub-periosteal ossiication.
The interior of the bones becomes soft
ened and filled with marrow; the walls
become thinned. The ends of the
bones are particularly affected in this
way. and hence the liability of the
bones to fracture at these parts. The
alveolar processes waste away. so that
In men above eighty the number of
teeth is only six. while in women it is
only three. The Uranium generally
becomes thinner and lighter. In some
cases. however. the skull walls are ac-
tually increased in density and thick
ness by the osseous deposits on the in
terror of the brain case.
Contrary to a generally received view.
the cartridges of healthy old people do
not calcifv aud harden, but remain
elastic. They, however. undergo some
atrophy, which accounts for the de-
crease in height
In the same way Professor Hum
phrey believes that Qualification of ar
terles is not process normal or COM
mon in advanced age. Among 3S2 re-
turns relating to the pulse. it was found
incompressible in only ~. In So re-
turns. the arteries were found knotty

place very much dependence upon such
data.
The rate of the heart beat in old age
has been said by some Psychologists to
be increased. by others to be dimin-
ished. The Collective Investigation
shows that there is not much change.
From the age of eighty to ninety it av-
erages 1914 in men. 1879 in women.
The respirations are little increased
in frequency, espec ally in women. Urin-
ary troubles are a well known source
of discomfort and suffering among old
people. They do not. however. neces-
sarily attend the decline of life. Among
157 males from eighty to eighty-five
years OF age. only six had any disease
of the PROSTATE or bladder. In the
next decade, however, the proportion
was greater.
In old people wounds are known
either to heal rapidly or to slough. The
reparative process is often as rapid as
in the young.
Sir Henry Thompson, in recent ar
ticle on ''Diet in Relation to Age" has
called attention to the harm that comes
from attempts to over-feed old people.
They are injured. he truly says, by the
solicitous relatives. who think that in
feeding there IS sure help for the wan
ing strength. The old need light diet
to correspond with the lessened work
and slower nutrition and waste of their
tissues. -Medical Record.
