DEATH RATES AND OCCUPATIONS.


Liquor Holds the First Place Among the List
of Unhealthy Employments.
Chamberss Journal.
The death-rate of different occupations yields
some curious results Taking as basis Of COM
parison the mortality of all males of similar ages
in England and Wales as l000 the death rate OF
the class mentioned is compared with this as q
standard. When the rate Of the examined class
exceeds this number that class forms al ex-
ample of unhealthy. occupations; when it falls
short it belongs to the healthy occupations
Thus, the first place among healthy occupations
is held by ministers of religion, the death rate of
this class being 556 Next, we have gardeners
and nnrserymen, who stand at $780, farmers and
graziers, 63l; agricultural laborers, FOL; school
masters, 719; the other trades which follow
closely on these being grocers, coal merchants,
paper manufacturers lace and hosiery manufact-
urers wheelwrights. shipbuiders and ship
wrights and coal miners The figure of mortal
ity for all these trades is under IT'S On the
other side, that of the unhealthy occupations,
the first place is held by the trades which are
concerned in the manufacture aud distribution
of intoxicating drink, and which, as is well
known, entail tnany temptations to drink il to
excess. The list of unhealthy occupations 10
headed by the class of inn and hotel servants,
whose figure mounts up to 2,205, being nearly
double that OF the medical profession. The
highest places next to them are held by general
laborers in London and by costermongers,
hawkers and street sellers, the former class with
both are largely made up of broken men, the
wrecks of other callings. Inn-keepers, publicans,
spirit wine and beer dealers follow, with
figure of 1,521, and brewers with 1861. In sup
port of the belief that these high rates of NOR
tally are chiefly due to alcoholic excess, DR..
Ogle compared with them the mortality as
signed to diseases of the liver, the organ through
which such excess chiefly declares itself, and has
obtained results which are entirely in harmony
with those Of the trade returns. Next to the
trades concerned with alcohol the highest rates
are furnished by occupations which involve tho
breathing of dust-other than coal-dust-and
especially of dust of sharp and gritty character
or largely composed of mineral matter; next,
those in which there is exposure to lead poison
ing. as with plumbers painters and fle-makera
The earthware manufacturers, who much
exposed to mineral dust. have figure of l. 742;
file makers who work upon leaden cushion,
reach /, l67. and plumbers and painters who ara
also exposed to lead, reached 1902. 1t will
furnish remarkable contradiction to a prevail
ing impression that butchers have a high death
rate, their figures of mortality amounting to
ITO, the causes of death among them being
partly due to the diseases of intemperance and
partly to phthisis and other maladies from which
they have long been supposed to enjoy an
especial immunity

There the temperance workers are not depend

O Italy! thy skies bend blue
Thy Roman hills round fair;
Far shadows of thy mountains lift
High rose-peaks in the air.
Gray slopes of olives-vineyards bask
Gold-ambered in the day;
The yellow Tiber, murmuring slips
Past hut and palace gray.
And in thy temples porch widefung,

The white-stoled priest the mass has sung,
The incense and the prayer;
The chaliced host, now lifted high
