A German statistician says: There
are at present 1904 languages spoken
by the inhabitants Of our globe, whose
religious convictions are divided be-
tween 1000 different confessions of
faith. The number of males is nearly
equal to that Of the females. The
average duration of life is 33 years.
One-fourth the population of the
earth dies before reaching the 18th
year. Of 1000 persons, l reaches
100 years and not more than 6 that
of 80 years. The entire population
of the globe is upward of l., 200, 900, 900
of whom 35,2l4,OO0 die every year,
96, ,4S0 every day, 1920 every hour,
20 every minute, ] and fraction
every second; on the other hand the
births amount to 36,792 900 every
year, 100, 800 every day, 4,2O0 every
hour, 20 every minute, l and a frac-
tion every second. Married people
live longer than the unmarried, the
temperate and Industrious longer than
the gluttons and idle, the civilized
nations longer than the uncivilized.
Tall persons enjoy a greater longevity
than small ones. Women have more
favorable chance of life before reach
ing their fiftieth year than men, but a
less favorable one after that period.
The proportion of married persons to
single ones is as 20 to 1000. Persons
born in spring have a more robust
constitution than these born at other
seasons. Births and deaths occur
more frequently at night than during
the daytime. 1t may finally be added
that only one-fourth of the male in
habitants of the globe grow up to
carry arms or perform military SER
vices.

The Right Men.

The reelection of Hon. J. c. Camp
bell. Of Streator, as chairman of the Illi-
nois democratic state central committee,
was not only wise and judicious selec-
ton but mark OF appreciation of that
gentleman's mastery management of the
last campaign. Mr.. Campbell combines
all the qualities ne cessary for a political
manager, his stro INCEST recommen dation,
possibly, being his tireless and unceasing
energy. And as his speech of accept
ance indicates. he fully realizes that hard
and persistent work is absolutely re-
quired. The committee also made an
other remarkably good choice in select
ing Mr.. George M. Haynes, of Chicago,
for secretary, who is one of the best
posted and well known democrats
in the state. 1t was only
after considerable pressure that
MIR. Haynes was induced TO accept the
arduous duties devolving on the position.
The election of Mr.. W. B. Brinton, Of
Tuscola, as treasurer, is also to be COM
mended. he is one of the most popular
democrats on the committee, in fact in
the entire state. He is in the employ of
the Moline Wagon company, and it has
not yet been definitely settled upon
which theme he grows most eloquent
whether in discoursing on the merits and
durability of the justly celebrated Moline
wagon or the glorious principles of de-
mocracy. Messrs. Campbell, Haynes
and Brinton are a trio of workers who
wiz discharge the duties of their offices
with credit and efficiency.
