of school teachers is One-third less than the average for other occupations. At ages under 95 1t is below even that of clergymen, but at ages from S5 to 55 years school teachers die more rapidly than do the clergy. In common with other professional men schoolmasters and teachers suffer much more severely from diseases of the heart than they do from diseases of the respiratory sys- tenn; but whereas among the other pro- fessions it is heart disease which is nu- merically the most prevalent cause of death, among school masters phthisis is rather more fatal than heart disease" "
 Of artists, engravers, architects, etc., he says: "The comparative mortality figure in this group is considerably lower than the average. From alco- holjsm the mortality figure of artists, etc., is below the average, although they suffer more severely than the average from diseases of the liver They die more than twice as fast as do occupied males Gin the aggregate) from diabetes, but more slowly from phthisis and also more slowly from dis eases of the circulatory and respiratory systems"
 Our friend, the statistician, has a poor idea of musicians, whom he finds sad ly addicted to intemperance." They die more than twice as rapidly as ordinary men from alcoholism, nearly twice as
 
 more rapidly from nervous diseahes, liver diseases and suicide.
 Commercial travellers show a high mortality, considering the large amount Of time they spend in the open air. Al coholism and liver disease are the chief causes of this heightened death rate, which increases as they pass middle life. "Commercial travellers die from diabetes almost as fast again as the average, and from cancer faster than the average by 43 per cent; they also suffer exceptionally from Brights dis ease Their mortality from phthisis and from diseases of the respiratory system is, however, below the average
 So the record goes on over many pages with considerations in detail of not less than 100 different occupa tions. Of those engaged in agriculture, it may be said that their death rate is far be- low the others. To all diseases, save one-inf1uenza-they show less liability than ordinary men. And there is no foundation in statistics for the theory that there is an excess of suicide among dWellerS on farms.
 Altogether this blue book, "presented to both houses of Parliament by com mand of her Majesty" presents many curious and important facts which might doubtless be made the text of many sermons could one but grasp their full significance. I am still think ing of those fortunate soap manufac- turers, who escape so many things, and of the poor chimney sweep who seems fated to die of cancer.

as the sole cause of death in such cir cumstances, the fact that abuse of al- cohol had induced the cirrhosis, or other morbid condition, being omitted from the certificate. There is a special table given for alcoholism showing compara- tive mortality figures. and social phil oSophers will shake their heads wisely when they see, at the very head of the list, the keepers of inns and hotels, their servants and the whole tribe or brewers and distillers. Men of these classes, that is the dispensers of alco- hol, die of it's effects from three to ten times faster than the average of "oc- cupied males," three times faster for the brewer, ten times faster for the London hotel servant On the other
 hand the mortality from alcoholism among agricultural laborerS, railway
 men, iron and tin and coal miners. clergymen, fishermen and others is far
 below the average, only one-th1rd or one-fourth of it, while in the case Of soap manufacturers, lead workers, cop
 per miners and carpet manufacturers.
 no deaths whatever are recorded from
 alcoholism. It would be of interest to
 know if there is some subtle relation
 between soap making and total abstf-
 hence.
 At the lower end of the table of phthi- sis, the favorable end, are found clergy
 men, who seem to get part of their re-
 ward for right living in the form of fortified health. Not only in phthisis
 but in pneumonia and other diseases of
 the respiratory organs they enjoy de-
 gree of immunity shared by no other
 class. Next to clerymen in power of
 resisting these diseases come farmers
 and schoolmasters. Physicians are
 better fortified than ordinary men
 against diseases of the lungs, and in this they resemble coal miners, railroad men and hosiery manufacturers.
 On the other hand, phthisis and pneu- monia work nearly twice their average havoc among general laborers in the industrial districts and among tin min CTS and copper miners, the susceptibil- ity of copper miners here being the more remarkable that they have the best place in several other lists, notably those of influenza, diabetes, alcoholism and diseases of the nervous system. To be a copper miner. then, is to have an excellent chance of long life, unless somethine goes wrong with the lungs. And perhaps this also may be fairly deduced that for one born with a ten- dency to lung trouble, the choice of oc- equations should lie between preaching, tilling the soil, manufacturing hosiery and coal mining.

In no part of California can such fine deer shooting be obtained as here in the heart of Mendocino County. Nearly every year hunters come to the vicinity of the deer cover and go into camp two or three weeks before the season opens, which is usually the first of July or August. The reason for going into camp so long before the beginning of the season is to get hardened up so as to be in trim to enjoy the sport. To thoroughly enjoy deer shooting a man must be in such condition that he will not get tired out after few hours in the hills. He must be able to ride all day and then be almost as fresh as when he started.
 But what royal sport it Is. You wake up long before daylight, and after dis posing of a hearty camp breakfast at once take to the trail on the road to the deer cover. Horses and dogs seem to enter into the spirit of the chase and the blood tingles with excitement

 Leaving any of the towns mentioned the way for some distance will be over fine roads, which will gradually merge into the widest kind of mountain trails.

HN OFFICIAL STUDY OF DEATH.


HAVE been studying a book with a
 dark blue cover fresh f~om the
 presses of her Majesty's printer, a
 book that C sals with one of the
 most fascinating of all subjects Death" This book contains no nor alizing and no theories, it does not teach you how to die, nor advise you how to live. It sticks closely to it's business of presenting facts, of showing you how people have been dying in London and England of recent years-to be more precise, in the years of 1890, 1891 and 1892.
 One of the first tables shows that men who have some regular occupation may face death more serenely than those who have none. This is especi- ally true between the ages of 20 and 35, when the death rate for 'unoccupied males" is from three to six times greater than for those with occupation, six times greater at 20 and three times greater at 35.
 living in agricultural districts away from large cities. Comparing the death rate of occupied males" (Whom we shall consider exclusively from this point on) we find that the mortality in London, taking the period in life
  average, while in the agricultural dis tricts it is 28 per cent below the aver age. And still less favorable is the lot of those who live in the industrial re- gions, the great manufacturing centers like Sheffield and Birmingham since for them the death rate rises to 31 per cent above: the average.
 Statistics are given of twenty-four diseases or causes of death, and five of these, viz: Phthisis, diseases of the nervous system, diseases of the circu- latory system, bronchitis and pneumo- mia, cause more than half of the en- tire mortality: Cancer kills more than influenza, while suicide is directly re- sponsible for more deaths than alco- holism. It is, however, expressly pointed out that alcoholism contributes 10 many deaths that are put down to other. causes. In certifying the cause of death of inebriates it is the habit Of some medical men to state only the pathological condition of the organ or organs chiefly affected.
 The experience of this office shows that cirrhosis of the liver, for instance (the liver is the organ which more than any other is affected prejudicially by tntemperance). is frequently returned

as noiseless as If it pressed a velvet carpet. A profound silence reigns and a green twilight fills the grove of giant trees. Here and there a faint ray of sunlight strikes the ground, but it has so filtered through the mysterious tangle of branches overhead that it
 has lost all it's force and looks like a delicate vapor rising heavenward.
 Suddenly, as the road emerges from the forest and abruptly descends into a canyon, the sound of running water strikes your ear. At first it is only 8 murmur, but soon 1t grows louder, until 1t is almost roar Where does the sound come from? One moment 1t seems straight ahead, and the next far up in the mountain. Now you hear it on the right and now on the left Then the leaves of the trees rustic in the wind and the splashing sound seems to

go dancing through the forest, like an army of elves.
 While you are looking about, vainly trying to locate the sound, hearing it on all sides at once, you will most likely come right on top of the cause of it. At your feet will be a dazzling water fall. And there are dozens of them in the locality. But as soon as you have found out it means that you are deep in the heart of Mendocino County. the sportsmanS paradise.
 Do you care to fish? If SO cast your line into the nearest pool. That deep, dark one there, with the branches of the trees hanging down into it. It is sure to be full of the finest kind of trout, and no matter whether you bait your hook with grasshoppers and bugs or use the finest kind of artificial fly, it won't be long before you have a rise"
 Of course, there is no telling what kind of a trout this will be; there are so many in these streams. It may be

the audacious rainbow trout, the strong silversdes. the mountain trout or the king of them all, the salmon trout, that frequently weighs as much as thirty pounds. The cool waters of these Men docino rivers develop to the utmost the gamey qualities of the inhabitants of their depths.
 The trout streams in this portion of the State show no signs of falling off of the fnny tribe. In fact, in many of the Eel River tributaries there are more fish now than there ever were
 This whole section is teeming with game. The copses are full of grouse and mountain quail and valley quail. In the forests can be found deer hare and gray squirrel. Birds of all kinds are numerous.
 A few years ago it was feared that the deer in this section might be ex- terminated, but in spite of the great slaughter of the animals their numbers have increased.

 If you know the country you will not have long to wait for a shot here in the wilds of Mendocino County. Possibly a small herd will dash across your path. and if you are lucky you may bring down one. At any rate it is hardly pos sible that the day will pass without your getting at least two Certainly 1t will be your own poor ability as a shot that is the cause, for the deer are there if you only know how to kill them.
 But it is on the wild slopes of Signal Peak that the finest big game hunting can be found. Here is sport worthy of the nerve of any knight of the gun. Here cinnamon and black bear are plentiful. Panther and lynx can also be found, and the gray wolf at times makes his presence known.
 In fact, in the wilds of Mendocino County can be found sport for any him. rod and pleasure for the nature lover
