Duration OF Human Life.

In the average statistics of human
life it has been found that women live
longer than men; the reason for that
appears to be simple.
= to the age Of twenty to twenty
five the man is undoubtedly younger
and less developed than the woman:
but in the next twenty or thirty
years of his life the man ages much
more rapidly. because, apart from the
strain and hardship Of a profession,
the exposure to unhealthy climates,
disappointmcnts Of fortune, he
he often leads life Of dissipation and
excess, which early puts its stamp on
his forehead and turns his hair gray
before it's time. The woman, on the
other hand, who has often more than
her share of anxicties, has. apart from
the many accidents of life, but one
serious and inevitable danger, that Of
the pcrpctuation Of her race, which.
safely passed, rcnovatcs rather than
ages, and increases woman chances
OF longevity.
From the few facts which | have
ycnturcd to put together We may de-
ducc, ! think, the following conclus-
ions, which, ] trust, may be found Of
some interest by those who desire to
have q general view of the cxpcota-
ton Of life, its real duration, and the
possible causes Of its length and brcvi-
ty.
First That, according to the best
authorities Of the last century, the ex-
tremc limit Of life might be 1875 years
under extraordinary and almost abb
normal circumstances.
Second-That the anticipation Of
life is roughly five times the time that
the organs of the body-not counting
the brain, which developes later-re-
quirc to attain their full and absolute
maturity. This, of course, varies not
only in races. but in individuals, some
developing early aud some much later,
even in the same climate and in the
same family.
Third-That rarely, if ever, is that
full amount Of duration achieved, ow-
ing to disease, food, heredity, bad
habits, wear and tear, and many other
causes which shorten life.
Fourth-The slower the develop
ment the longer may be the duration
of life.
Fifth That all human beings are
not born with the capacity for long
life even under the most favorable
circumstances AS the organism Of
the human being is more complex
than that of the lower animals, 80 his
anticipation of life is far more varia-
BILE.
Sixth those circumstances
which conduce TO longevity are III
doubtedly late development, frugal
habits, moderation, exemption from
vicissitudcs Of climate, and extreme
heat or cold, from mental worry an1
agitation, temperance in eating and
drinking, with fair amount of brain
work when the brain is ready to un-
dcrtakc it.
We have ali heard the well-worn
axiom attributed to the Psalmist that
the days Of man are threescore and
ten but in Genesis vi, 3, will be
found the passage: "Yct his days
shall be an hundred and twenty
years. This passage seems to have
been overlooked, as I have rarely seen
it quoted, although: curiously enough,
it exactly corresponds to the theory
that man should attain five times the
period of reaching his maturity
