FACTS ABOUT LIFE.
Merchants Live Longer Than Others and
Clerks Are the ShOrtest-Lived.

Merchants Live Longer Than Others and
Clerks Are the Shortest-Ltved.
The statistics recently published
by leading life insurance company
contain many interesting points.
Americans live longer than our for
eign-bOrn citizens.
Among foreigners, next to the
Americans, stand the Irish, English
and Germans, in the order named.
Few Germans or Englishmen die of
apoplexy.
Germans furnish the highest per-
centage of suicide.
Native Americans are comparatively
free from diseases of the liver.
Typhoid fever has the most victims
in the Northwest and the fewest in
the South, but in the latter section
there is large mortality from other
zymotic diseases and more liver dis
ease. but less kidney disease.
According to the facts collected by
this particular insurance company the
conditions in the South are less favor
able to life than in other parts of the
Union.
The report says:
From a comparison of the various
statistical tables it appears that the
occupation most conducive to longevity
is that of merchants. Next to these
in expectation of life comes farmers,
then follows in succession doctors,
lawyers, clergymen, shopkeepers and
hotelkeepers. 1t may be mentioned
that among hotel and saloonkeepers,
brewers and Wholesale liquor dealers.
the deaths from consumption, heart
disease and zymOtic diseases are com
paratively few, while the rate for nerv-
Gus diseases and diseases of the liver
is extremely high. Brokers follow
next to hotelkeepers as regards aver.

/ don't want to be pursued by ill luck;
that's the only explanation / can give.
This is one of many Of the pecul-
iarities of poker players. There are
very few of them who will permit a
spectator to stand or sit near him; even
friend who he knows would rather
cut of his right arm than tip his
hand and to put a foot on players
chair is a mortal offense. l have
heard many a player, upon discover
ing that some one had foot resting
upon his chair, say:
There! 1 knew it. No wonder I'm
losing. Take that foot away, pleaser
"Others will at once get up and quit
the game upon making the discovery.
l once knew a crack poker player,
whose face was blank, no matter
what kind of a hand he held, who
would quit the game if he won the
first pot. 1t is said that Senator Ia
Dor always predicted a losing sitting
if he held a deuce in the first hand
dealt him.
such peculiarities as a mortal
dread lest some one in the game will
change a red or blue check in a jack
pot for whites while the play is going
on, or take a particular seat, etc. are
very common, but the thing most
dreaded by superstitious poker play
ers is the result of lending checks to a
friend during the progress of a game.
Not one in hundred will do it with
out Immediately quitting the
game. Not that they are
parsimonious, or afraid that they will
not be repaid, but simply because they
claim it brings ill luck. l have seen
many a man comply with a request
| for loan of ten. twenty or even fifty
/ dollars worth of checks, without a
| protest or look to Indicate his feel
ings, and then get up and quit the
game, refusing fatty to continue.
even if offered money in payment OF
the checks loaned.
i can't win now they say; never
loaned check in my life but what ]

Amateurs are addicted to a habit
which horrifes the superstitiOus pro-
| fessiOnal, and that is counting checks
during the progress of a game. Take
q young player VINO mas won a lew
pots, and he will invariably count his
checks to ascertain how much he is q
winner. A professional views this
operation with horror, and some are
so incensed thereat that they quit the
game. They don't care how much the
amateur is winning, but they are toe
superstitious to play in game where
that sort of work is going on. Who
among card players has not seen {
losing player get up and run around
his chair, fully believing that the re
suit viii be change of luck? An
other common occurrence in a poker
room is to see a player pay the negro
porter to come and lay his hand or
the superstitiOus players stock Of
checks. There are many habitua
gamblers who make it rule to &c
out and walk around the block at Ger
tain stages of the game, winning OF
losing, whether the weather be milo
