LONGEVITY.
SOME RECENT STATISTICS.
$
Persons to reach the age of 90 years or more during the last eight years, socording to a homo paper, are 303, the women being rather more than twice as many as the men. There bave been thirty-six centenarians, The exactly recorded agus of men and animals are usually much shorter than the maximum doration of life assigned In popular belief. No valid evidence supports the authenticity of claims such as that made for Thomás Parr, the Shropshire prassat, of having reached his 153rd year, and any casUS of exceeding the century, by more than two or three years are dubious.
A century must be taken as the utmost opan of life which any human being can hope at present to achieve. But that is twenty years more than "four-score" of the beautiful pealm in the Burial Service, and evidence based on wider statistins shown that increasing numbare of the moderni population attain it. Matchikov, in- deed, believed that better conditions, more prudent habits, and the conquest of diseases by science might come to keep the human body and mind streng and healthy to an age still grester, and that then a natural instinct would acquiesce in the coming of dasth st readily as youth now csapta be coming of maturity. Such optimism, however, is still for the future; for the few who attain it, great age is more often but labour and sorrow. What
is of more concern to most of us it that the average longevity, the broad- based expectation of life of insurance statistics, is continuously expanding. The average and not the unusual governs the life of men and basata, and in particular that part of it relating to marriage and the family caras, Weismann held the theory that: the duration of life was adjusted by natural, selection to the sate of reproduction so that, while erenturus like the elephant, which brød slowly,} lived long to secure the malabenance of the species, these like rata, which bred rapidly, required only short lives: A more recent interpretatio however, holds that the mão of |reproduction is the more wilable factor and is turned to the average expectation of life. Bat on) the us theory or the other, thuis _may_bo-s-close-contaction-between-
· the graster expectation of human. Lid = | under modern conditions and the par ponement of the average age of mami- age'and reduction, in the average nude - ber of children. The suggestion may te commended of students of vital statis- tics, But if most of us are to kavemeto al life and afew much more of it, is the gift worth having! The days and the yeas of modern life are more so wied than in any other age, and, yet powálio – ly even because of tho morame of on- p.m.periences, they seem shorter. They period of the war was fuller for all who lived through it than any other time of their lives, and yet the bagn ning and the end have closed like the pages of a bock. Lifs, indeed, agen hoster the more intenaby it is lived.
