DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.


A Man Might Possibly Live to BE One
Hundred and Twenty-Five Years Old.
In the average statistics of human life
1t has been found that women live lon
ger than men. The reason for that ap.
pears TO be simple.
Up TO the age of 20 to % the man is
undoubtedly younger and less develop
ed than the woman, but in the next 40
or 30 years of his life the man ages
much more rapidly, because apart from
the strain and hardship of profession,
the exposure to unhealthful climates,
the disappointments of fortune, he Of
ten leads life Of dissipation and ex.
cess which early puts its stamp upon
his forehead and turns his hair gray be-
fore its time. The woman, on the other
hand, who has often more than her
share of anxieties, has, apart from the
many accidents of life, but one serious
and inevitable danger, that of the per.
petuntion of her race, which, safely
passed, renovates rather than ages and
increases n woman's chance of longev-
ity.
From the few facts that have ven
tured to put together we may deduce, |
think, the following conclusions, which,
1 trust, may be found of some interest
by those who desire to have general
view of tho expectation of life. its real
duration and tho possible causes of its
length and breyity.
First. THAT, according to the best
authorities OF the last century. the ex
treme limit of life might be 1876 years
under extraordinary and almost abnor
NAL circumstances.
Second. THAT tho anticipation of life
il roughly five times tho time TINT the
organs of tho body--not counting the
brain, which develops later-require to
attain their full and absolute maturity
This, of course, varies not only in races
but i'll individuals. some developing
carly and some much later. even in the
same climate and i'll tho same family.
Third. That rarely. IL over, is that
full duration achieved. owing to dis
ease, food, heredity. bad habits. wear
and tear and many other causes which
shorten life.
Fourth. The slower tho development
the longer may BIO the duration of life.
Fifth.-That all human beings are
not born with the capacity for long life
even under the most favorable circum-
stances. As the organism of the human
being liz more complex than that of the
lower animals, so his anticipation of
life is far more variable.
Sixth. - That those circumstances
which oonduee to longevity are un.
doubtedly late development frugal hab-
its, moderation, exemption from vicissi-
tubes of climate and extreme of heat or
cold, from mental worry and agitation,
temperature III eating and drinking,
with fair amount of brain work when
the brain is ready to undertake it.
We have all heard the well worn AK
iom attributed To the Psalmist that tho
days of man are threescoro and ten, !"
but iii Genesis Vi, 3, will be found the
following passage, Yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty years. "
This passage seems TO have been over
looked, as / have rarely seen it quoted,
although ouriously enough it exactly
corresponds to the theory that man
should attain five times tho period of
reaching his maturity Nineteenth
