Some interesting statistics, complied
from the records of the United King
aom Provident Institution, have been
published in England. They cover the
last 81 years, and are strong proofs OF
the favorable effect of teetotafism on
longevity. A section of this company's
business Is given up to persons who
pre- total abstainers, and the death rate
among them is SO much lower hat IL
has been calculated that where ls,zzo
would have died were they all drink
srs. only 1884 would have died had
they been abstainers. The only ra-
uonal explanation is that the result OF
drinking alcohol Is to produce gradual
degeneration of various organs ana
tissues so that in course OF tim these
are unable to carry on their functions
or resist the attacks of disease. 1t Is
also very significant that this result
becomes noticeable chiefly after the
nge of sixty. Alcohol thus produces
premature decay, degeneration, ana
old age. The Scepter life office. and
the Abstainers and General, have a
similar experience on a smaller scale.
Indeed. this Is becoming so manifest
that only recently a large office like
the Sun advertises for total abstainers
and offers to take them at a lower pre-
MUM. The experience of friendly So
cieties is exactly the m The death
rate and sickness rate of the Recha-
bites and Sons of Temperance Is con-
siderably below that of the Foresters
and Oddfellows, notwithstanding ina
these contain many abstainers. mus
the Sons of Temperance have a death
rate of 6h per 1000 and a sick ate OF
Tx days per member per annum, wniie
the drinking societies average abou l.
deaths per 1000 and II to IL days o.
sickness.

DRAINING A MINE.
American Enterprise Completing = Work
Planned by Humboldt. v


An interesting mining operation Is
being completed this month In the
Guanjuato district, famous as the rich
est mining territory in Mexico, in un-
watering the Sirena gold mine. which.
after being worked by the Mexicans
since the year 1850, has been flooded
and abandoned ever since the Mexican
war of independence in 1922. There
are at least nine miles of workings in
the ole mine, and 1t has taken two
years labor with powerful electric
pumps to remove the water already in
the workings and to fight the incom-
ing flow. It was 1000 feet deep when
the work began. Now 1t Is less than
400 feet. Just how much of the WORK
ings remain to be uncovered and what
there is in and beyond them no one
knows. Record-keeping and chart
making were done in very primitive
fashion by the old Mexican miners.
AS the clearing of the mine has pros
pered curious relics have come to
light. In one place, far below the
water level. the explorers came upon
q stable half full of skeletons of mules
and men who had been caught there
by the rising flood. Life Is cheap in
Mexico, and no one could be found who
remembered ever having heard that
anybody had been missed in the mine.
The Sirena Is the first of the old mines
In the district to be unwatered. The
project Is carried out by a New York
company, and 1t indicates the new
channel In which modern mining
methods In the old districts run. The
company counts on making an imme-
date profit by going lei the old
workings and treating the ore out Of
which the Mexican miners with their
mule power and hand labor could OBJ
tain no paying results. Electricity Is
and when the water is all out of the
mine the workings will be driven
deeper than the Mexicans could ever
have dreamed of operating them. The
same method is now being undertaken
man syndicate has acquired the ia
nous Valenciana mine in the same
vein. out of which many millions have
been taken by the Mexicans. Another
mine in the Veta Madre vein, which
u n through the district. yielded the
king of Spain ST, 000, 900 In royalties.
The unwatering of the mines has
been discussed since the time of Hum
boldt. who had a project for doing it by
driving a tunnel twelve miles long
into the vein. but 1t is only now that
American enterprise has given a start
to the work.

Sunday rapidly is taking the place
In popular superstition of Friday as
an unlucky day. 1t used to be that all
hangings took place on a Friday; no
sailor would put to sea on Friday, and
1t was considered a bad day in which
to beg, buy, borrow or sell. Now,
however, we are told that Sunday is
becoming the day Of bad luck, and GER
tain tragedies of the first class which
have occurred of late on Sunday have
helped along the superstition. The late
Gar Of Russia was assassinated on
Sunday, and so was President Carnot
and King Umberto. 1t was on Sun
day also that the Tay Bridge was
blown down. In the north Of England
1t is considered most sure to bring
calamity to cut the hair or nails on the
Sabbath.

CAUSE MANY DEATHS.
Diseases That Are Most Prevalent In
These DAYS.

A leading life insurance company
has recently published its monthly
records, covering a period of fifty
years. notwithstanding the utmost
care is observed in securing only good
risks, free from organic diseases, the
cause of death in the insured and I'M
insured IS probably much alike. Out
of 44,963 deaths a trife over one
eighth (5.5S5) were from tuberculosis.
Almost the same number (5,542)
came from apoplexy, softening of the
brain and paralysis, which are kindred
maladies, IL not practically identical.
To disorder of the heart are credited
1899 deaths ~(one-ninth); to the diges-
tive apparatus, 1854 (one-tenth);
pneumonia, 1902 (on~e-eleventh); vio-
lent causes, 1887; Bright's disease,
1897: typhoid fever LIE;
diseases, not specified. 2.S06: ill-defned
and obscure cases. 1859. and other rec
ognized maladies. $3.50. When deaths
from the causes just enumerated ale
divided into the three periods. the ags
of As and under, from 40 to GO and
above so, some striking facts are
brought out. Among The insured SO
per cent of the deaths from violence
accidental or Intentional ASSAULT, SO
per cent of those from tuberculosis and
6S per cent of the total typhoid cases,
occur in the first period. On the other
hand, AZ per cent Of the mortality from
Brightfs disease. 55 per cent from apo
plexy and paralysis and Sc per cent
from heart disease occur after the age
Of 60. Mischief from the digestive ap-
paratus is fairly well distributed, 80
per ZEN OF the deaths occurring in the
first period, 3S per cent in the second
and 81 per cent in the third.-Medical
