enough not at All conclusive, are very in
teresting showing side by side the sur
vivorships at 20, 80, 40, so, CO. etc., of
10000 healthy and 10000 diseased lives,
starting at the age Of 10. Singularly
enough, at the age of 20 the showing in
the case of the diseased lives is the better,
9,679 of them surviving against 1854 of
the healthy lives. From that time for
ward, however, the figures favor the
healthy lives in a gradually increasing
ratio. At 30 the survivors in the healthy
1000 are 1904 against S,54S in the dis
eased 10000 At 60 the healthy side
shows 5,547 survivors and the diseased
only 4, 1872. At 90 they are nearly equal,
but the diseased lives have the advantage
by one, showing 26 against 25 Of the
healthy lives.
THEORETICAL EXPECTATIONS.
The Exchange and Review concludes
it's article with what it calls table of
Theoretical expectations of diseased life, ="
which might more appropriately be called
a hypothetical table, inasmuch as it is not
put forward as even approximately &C
curate. 1t is useful, however, in the sug-
gestion it furnishes that table may be
constructed sufficiently accurate for prac-
tical purposes. Whether any of the ex-
listing companies will take up the sugges-
ton is very doubtful. The best of them
are doing quite well enough on their
present basis not to be tempted to embark
in any new field, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that the worst of them, which are
not doing well now, will not injure the
business of insuring impaired lives by
giving it bad send off.
A fortune, however, awaits the COM
pany, old or new, which shall, with sound
judgment and sufficient capital, enter
upon that business. While the price to
be charged would necessarily be higher
than III the case of healthy lives, the risk,
if the business were conducted on a sound
basis, would probably be no greater. The
cost would probably be less, especially in
the item of commissions or salaries to So
licitors. If anything can positively be
predicted as to an utterly untried scheme,
it can be predicted that men of impaired
lives would need much less soliciting to
induce them to insure than the men of
healthy lives do.-Detroit Free Press.

Greasing a Patient.

Here is a case that happened out west a
few years since. The graduating class in
one of our medical colleges was advised
at the last by the old professor never to
acknowledge ignorance, but always, when
called, to give some treatment. One Of
the class settled in western town, and
after some years the old professor, in
travelling, got piece of bone in his throat
in this same town, and the young doctor
being called, failed by every means in his
power to dislodge the obstruction, and
then having recognized the old professor,
stripped him and rubbed him with lard.
This so amused the old professor that he
could not restrain a hearty laugh, which
dislodged the bone, and he asked the doc
tor, "Why in thunder did you grease
me?'
The reply was, "You told me when 1
was about to graduate always to do some
thing, so 1 creased you, not knowing
what else to do. "-Williamsport Sun and
Banner.

He Didn't Strike Back.

There is a good story told of Wesleyan
student, one of the boats crew that fin
ished second in flotilla of six at Sara
toga some years ago. He was slim,
good looking fellow, without trace of
pedant in his makeup. He became en-
aRored of the daughter of well to do
farmer, who lived not far from the lake.
The farmer objected to him on general
principles, and tried to break off the &C
workmanship; he did not want minis
ter for a sOn-in-law, and the young man
seemed too light wasted for a rough bat
tie with the world. Returning early one
night he found the pair of lovers seated
on the sofa, and at once proceeded to take
off his coat.
eff your father raises his hand against
me- shall not strike back, but will pull
his nose" whispered the Lothario.
Now, medical men pronounce the nose
o most delicate and sensitive organ, and
anything beyond gentle dalliance with it
is provocative of great pain. But the old
gentleman sailed in, and dragging the
student lover to the doorsill he deposited
several pounds of kicking power under
his coat tails. This was too much, and
true to his word the young athlete seized
the old mans nose twixt his fingers and
wrung it heartily. In this unexpected
turn of affairs the theologian was revealed
in new light.
''Let go! let go! she's yoursr' yelled
the panied but discreet father. "You
shall marry her at the earliest opportu-
nifty"
And he did.-Alfred Trumble in New
York News.

A Disappointed Puppy.

The most disappointed looking man to
be met with in days journey on the ele-
waited roads is the flirtatious whipper
snapper who discovers that he has per-
mitted a pretty girl to stand, and who
only makes the discovery after some other
man has given her seat. The scorn with
which she receives any attempts on his
part to attract her attention adds double
barb to his fond regrets for what might
have been had he had his eyes open in
time. But it always does take puppies a
long time to get their eyes open.-New

arrived about noon, and proved to be
a healthy looking nine, so much 80
that after Tho home club had taken
one good look at them, they felt dubi-
Gus, and until the first two innings were
played. 1t was the general impression
that Vinita could not play ball. At
this point the BRAVES" went in for
gore or glory, taking the lead in the
third inning, which they held through
out. The following is the score

A Belated Campaign Lie Nailed.

New York Tribune.
The World and the Times, yesterday. pub
lished q 'story of q big campaign check. in ef-
feet that q check for $500, 600 had been sent to
the National Park Bank, in this city, and depos-
tied to the credit of the Republican State COM
mittee OF Indiana. and that the amount bad been
transferred by telegraph to a bank in Fl Wayne,
Ind. V. NJ. Moore. president Of the Park Bank.
promptly denied that any such transaction had
taken place. and this particularly belsted cam
paign lie WAS further demolished, yesterday, by
Charles N. Fowler, president Of the Equitable
Mortgage Company, who had his attention
called to the yarn. Mr.. Fowler called at the
Tribune Office and made the following state
ment:
''The company Of which am president. hav-
ing purchased Fort Wayne bonds amounting to
$299, 900, eonsummated the transaction by Civ
ing check to tho National Park Bank to the
credit of bank in Fort Wayne, the transmits
sion OF the money being by telegraph, when the
bonds were delivered at our office on Wednes
day. Some Democratic operator heard the mes
sage going over the wires, and jumped to the
conclusion that the money was intended for the
Republican State committee and gave it away.
Our transaction WAS undoubtedly the origin Of
the story published.
