seized the magic wand. Its possession
gave him the strength of many men.

when the following rule was estab-
lished: OF 1000 persons, aged 80, it is
probable 10 will die in the year, in
which case there will be 20 of that age
sick throughout the year, and 10 in
valids. OF 1000 persons, aged rs, it is
probable that 100 will die in the year,
in which case the sick and invalids Of
that age will be 300 throughout the

threatened. The Viceroy Liu is
chiefly blamed for the action OF the
