In these figures are number Of mystic
ries which 1t woull be interesting and val
liable to explain, II they are explain
able. 1t should be said first that
the census is taken at time OF the
more women absent from New Orleans than
men-women away at the watering places,
whose husbands are at home at work-so
that tho actual excess OF females Is greater
than the figures Indicate.
Again. this excess In New Orleans Is
steadily Increasing. There was an excess
Of 3.6oS men n 1850. The female excess
was 10, $50 In 1870, li,20i in 1850 and Is, l05
in 1890. 1t cannot. therefore. be pretended.
as previously claimed, that il is due to loss
of life In the confederate service during
the war. for the excess of females is of re-
cent date, and the equality in the sexes
was greatest Immediately after the soldiers
returned from Virginia, Tennessee and the
trans Mississippi. Finally, It should be
noted that this feminine excess is peculiar
to New Orleans; that outside OF the city, in
Louisiana, there is an excess of males. and
that the men are more numerous in Texas.
Arkansas and throughout the southwest.
The birth records show an excess of
males born. Among the children the sexes
continue about equal. and IL is only when
manhood and womanhood are reached that
We see the glaring disparity that prevails.
Greater Male Mortality.
A striking feature of the vital statistics
of New Orleans. which to some extent ex-
INC iieiudlAly VI lilt SEXES Is the
fact that there is a far heavier mortality
among males than females. The difference
is so great. particularly among the whites.
as to seriously affect the population. About
thirty males die to twenty-five females,
making the mortality among the former
1851 per cent greater. The chance of life
in the so-callei weaker SEX is more than
one-third greater, and the average woman
lives more than one-third longer than the
average New Orleans man. We doubt II
any other civilized community can show
this remarkable difference Ii is possible
In land where a war is raging but not In
a peaceful city.
Emigration will not explain 1t; nor win
the old theory OF the civil war and the men
lost in battle. for the female excess is grow
ing greater the further we get away from
1865. The mortality tables Indicate that
there Is something in our climate or mode
of life which affects the sexes differently
Ordinarily life insurance companies do not
care 60 accept risks on women, but they
could take them here at premiums one
third lower than on the men, and yet make
money. Is IL club life? or the fact that the
men of New Orleans live higher? Is II that
the climate is better adapted to women, or
that the n en- expoce themselves more? Is
II because SO large number OF women GO
on in the summer, while the men remain at
work here, which explains this remarkable
disparity? The married man who looks at
the hgures will discover. to his discomfort
that the chances are about six to one that
may Induce him to be little more careful
Of his health.
