Comparative Longevity.

II has often been remarked that
while nothing is so uncertain as the
duration Of any given human life, no.
thing is more certain than the aggre.
gate of years which may be assigned
to a group of hundred persons or
more at any particular age. The ex-
pectatlon Of life ut given age. TO
use the actuarial phrase, differs CON
sidcrably, as might be expected. in
different countries. and Englishmen
may be surprised to learn that they
are not the longest-living among the
white races. At the age of twenty an
Englishman in average health may
expect to live forty-two years. and
any life Office will grant him n policy
based on that probability. The Amerl.
can expectation is for n slightly long
er period. On the other hand. n Ger
man lad of twenty can count upon
little more than thirty-nine years and
Il half. IL would seem, therefore. that
the restlessness attributed to the
American temperament does not neccs.
sarily cOnducc to the shortening of
life, nor the composure of the German
to its prolongation. Possibly the bet
ter feeding ana clothing of Americans
IN the lower classes of the population
is the principal cause of their greater
longevity. Their position is, at any
rate. maintained i'm later as well as in
earlier years. The American who has
reached sixty may look to complete
fourteen years more, while the British
er's expectation is only about thirteen
years and ten months. and the Ger
mans rs nearly rs possible twelve
months less. Both at twenty and at
sixty the Frenchman's prospect is lit
tie better than the Germans ana a
little worse than the Englishman's.-
