lahoma legislators that they did not
intend to bring about such results.
This, however, can not be said of the
New York inheritance tax law, which
has only recently been amended and
which confiscated one-fourth of the
estate in certain instances. The re-
suit has been, it is said, that $780,

NEW YORK AND OKLAHOMA
INHERITANCE TAXES

Oklahoma has an Inheritance tax
law, which takes more than 100 Der
cent under certain conditions, leaving
the estate owing something after to-
tai confscation. The legislators did
not intend this to be so drastic, but
forgot to stop the increase at the rate
of one-tenth of one per cent for each
500 of excess over the exemption of
5000, If one undertakes to figure this
out it will be found that when a be-
quest reaches $3.50 the rate be-
comes 100 per cent. and the total
amount is forfeited as a tax. If the
bequest exceeds these figures the tax
continues to increase, so that the to-
tai assets of the estate are not only

WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN MEN.

/ e M
Women are called the weaker sex;
but the fact is that when tested by the
length of their life, and by their power
to endure suffering and to resist dis
ease they are, according to a writer in
the Medical Record, physically super
ior to men.
An English statistician has calculat-
ed that of two children, boy and a
girl, born on the same day, the boy
will have only seventeen chances
against eleven of living one year, while
the girl will have twenty-one chances
against eleven. From 5 to Is there
appears to be but little difference, but
from 10 to 10 the boy will have 269
chances and the girl 277 chances of
living against one of death.
This advantage in favor of the fe-
male increases, especially from 50 to
70, when the ratio drops slightly till
after so, when the man will have only
, three chances of life against one of
death, while the woman's chances will
be much greater.
The report of the United States
census bureau on the vital statistics of
this country for the year 1890 shows
that for every five year period from
birth up to 70 years of age the death
rate is much greater among males
than among females. From 70 to 80
the death rate is about equal between
the sexes, but from 80 to 80 there are
about five women living to four men;
from 80 to 100 there are two women
to one man, and after 100 the proper
ton of women is still much greater.
THE fact that woman lives a more
protected life, avoids the stresses and
strains that favor senility, may be a
factor, but it can hardly be the only
