Board of Assess
OrS.

A dispatch received from Carson
yesterday to the Silver State says
that at this mornings session the
State Board of Assessors rescinded
all acts of yesterday and adjourn
ed.
This leaves the fixing of valua-
tions on all classes of property
with the County Assessors, as was
the case before the passage of the
revenue law by the Legislature.
The action taken by the Board
of Assessors this morning virtually
repeats the revenue law, which has
caused a great deal of litigation.
Its constitutionality had not been
finally passed upon by the higher
courts.
The action of the Assessors in
declining to act under the law, the
validity of which is 50 seriously
questioned, will meet with the APP
proval of the great majority of the
States taxpayers.

In their course the years tear from US
moPsels of ourselves says the poet. ana
nothing is more disagreeab BILE to US thap
this insensfble but fatal decline toward
old age.
At the dawn of humanity man made use
of all the resources of his Imagination IN
order to remain young. Potions prepared
of the aichemists. the extra 1rdinary med
ication in which blood baths were en-
plqyed were particularly honored.
But as time; nevertheless, rrevocably
the example OF the Venetian Cornaro, or
Of the Dutchman Lesius turned to by
gienic practices to nreserve to the body
its primitive vigor. The means of attain
ing this end, however, varied.
While some recommended sobriety, 9TH
ers extolled the joyous life. Today, bet
ter informed as to the causes of disease.
and, in consequence, on the means of cur
ing them, one is enabled, II not to pre-
serve the Advantages of youth, at least to
prolong the ordinary duration of life.
1t is incontestable that the number OF
deaths annually for 1000 decreases. In
New York, for example. the mean an
nual mortality during the ten years from
1850 to 1859 was 35.2 per 1000 living beings.
while forty years later, from 1890 to 1893,
this rate was lowered to 22.s. Thus a
gain of nearly as, 600 human hves has been
realized in these last years.
But mere d AdcbllOH ~ OSOklto AtSCiA'

preston INCREASED longevity Does 1t
mean that all men at present live longer
than a century ago. or. rather. that a
greater proportion reaches the age of 70.

age at the moment of death is simply
retarded?

A clear solution of the question can be
furnished only by trustworthy statistics
above all by the examination and COM
partson Of tables Of mortality setting
forth the probability of life at every age
Unfortunately these tables of relatively
recent formation, uaat only of the last
two-tAirds of the Nineteenth Century.
Nevertheless, such as they are. they

1t is, therefore. indisputable, when one

one must understand that the mean age
at which death occurs has been retarded
