 Being.

Far ahead, at the end of October, of their best previous health record, the millions of industrial policy holders of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company in the United States and Canada will have for 1888 the lowest annual death rate ever experienced by them, unless some widespread and virulent epi- demic or unexpected catastrophe should intervene between now and the end of the year, according to the companys statisticians. At the end of October the mortality of this cross-Section of the working popu- lation of the two countries was far ahead of the best previous record.
 In each of IT consecutive months, previous to October, 1888, this group of millions of persons established new low mortality rates for the particular month. Although the se- quence was broken in October, the rate of "A per 1000, for that month was, nevertheless, considerably un- der the average October rate since 1880.
 The lowest death rates ever ex- perienced by the Metropolitan for the first 10 months of year have been recorded in 1888 for such causes as scarlet fever, diphthersa influenza, tuberculosis. pneumonia chronic rephritis, puerperal diseas- es, and accidents Gall forms com bined).
 Whether or not new low mor- tality rate will be recorded for the full year by the general popula- ton of the United States it is al- most certain, the statisticians say, that there will be a marked reduc- tion in deaths as compared with 1887.
