Even " ^ iduring the last 15 years the death rate among alt $^persons over 55 years of age, of both sexes, h«a •^^risen very considerably. " r i' r|§§ In Part I of the third volume of the United States census will be foundi a tabulated state- >^jment which shows in a very striking way the rise in the death rate for all ages from 60 up. I Siave brought the figures up to date, with the hqlp, •of fresh information from Washington--a matter <of no little Importance, inasmuch as. the increase has been marked. Thus corrected for accuracy, the reckoning -shows that there has been this in* •crease to the death rate, for the entire tTnite<! •States: ' For people of ages from 60 to 64, seven pit cent For people of ages from 65 to 69, 6V4 per For people of ages from 70 to 74,16H per cent. For people of ages from 75 to 79, seven pftr cent •• For people of ages from 80 to 84, 15 per ceiV . For people of ages from 86 to 89, 12 per cent,* For people of ages from 90 to 94, 30% Pkf cent. For people of 95 and up", 20% per cent. These figures tell the story more clearly than the most, eloquent discourse on the subject They ow that, notwithstanding Improved medigfct owledge and the benefits of modern sanitation; St*.; -we are dying earlier than our grandparents did. * *The reason why offers a topic for considerable 4 ^UliBcussion and is not to be summed up in a word, but one may discover it without much difficulty in the more complex and luxurious life that we , .lead. The lives of our forebears were compara­ tively simple and their constitutions, unweak- -ened by the luxury and intense nervous strain or an existence ilke that of to-day, were stronger than ours and better able to withstand the proaches of disease. ~ Plenty of proof of this fact may be found In the vital statistics of our population, especially In the cities, the figures showing that, while the death rate from diseases common to children has enormously diminished, within the last few years, the mortality from maladies more properly be­ longing to later life, such as heart disease. apo» plexy. cancer and ailments of the liver and kid­ neys, has risen to an alarming extent. Nay, more, it is still going up and seems likely to cot** " tinue to increase. The average baby born to-day has a chance of reaching five years of age better by 50 per cent, than would have been the case half a een* • tury ago. Its prospect of escaping the diseases '<. « {tf childhood and growing up is vastly improved, * Mis compared with earlier days. "$?:• Now, It is very desirable to save the babies f 4nd one of the greatest triumphs of our neweT :v ?ivilization Is the successful rearing of three h|»» ' man infants for every two that survived half a ".il - .-century ago. But it is undeniable that the race is a whole suffers by the change, inasmuch aa - , ' the weaklings, instead of being weeded oat, are 1 thus enabled to grow up These weaklings net v'^nly propagate other weaklings, but, by reason - #f their inferior vigor of constitution, commonly lail to reach old age. In this fact, doubtless, is * lound one cause of the rise in the death rate to ji&ter life. \ Nothing surely could well be more Strang* Yihan the spectacle presented to our view of i ?jreat and increasing acceleration of the sweep ' ;#f the dread scythe among people beyond middle jjjge, while multitudes of childsen are constantly >s3scaping who must formerly have succumbed. In _ •otb cases, too. it is our advanced and perfected & Civilization that furnishes the cause, rescuing the V,'f young but mowing down the old. So far, indeed, .A, -'does the harm neutralize the good that, notwith- : standing all the achievements of modern hygiene and medical discovery, it is doubtful whether the X$ : _ dMrmv art? JXM& •m average prospective life­ time of all Is much greater than was the case for those living years ago. Ill- Most of as do not r#H allze, perhaps, ho* much more complicate^ life is than it used to be. The typical succes»«i ful business man of to* day crowds the work of 20 hours into 10 hours and only leaves his ofe* flee to plunge Into so* cial dissipation of one kind or another, eating too much, drinking too much, smoking too much, going to bed too. late, and keeping his nervous system continue ally on the rack until, all at once, It breaks down. Incidentally, his digestion becomes Im­ paired, his vital organs suffer Irritation, which Is often the beginning of disease, and his-circula> tion is clogged, threatening apoplexy. No won­ der, then, that in mahy an instance he dies sod* denly, while yet in the prime of life. , Sudden deaths are much more common than .they used to be. The high pressure of modern "life, with Its keen, competition and intense strain, is the chief cause. The busy merchant drives his body machine beyond its capacity and .4suddenly it "collapses. Heart disease or apo­ plexy the attack may be, according to the phy­ sician's diagnosis, but it is really over-driving that is accountable for the mischief. The stren­ uous life is all very well, but It Is liable In these days to be carried too far. I have known several tragic Incidents of the kind within the last few years--one of them the case of a gentleman whom I had earnestly advised to lead a more simple life. "Nature," I said to him, "did not provide you with a machine capable of enduring such use. You have so many hours for sleep, so many for work and so many for recreation; you must arrange them accordingly." But he kept on at the same gait and, not long ago, while speaking at a dinner on board a steam­ ship that was entering the harbor of New York, he dropped dead. A blood-vessel had give* way. When the body-machine is weakened by over- It cannot withstand the hostile germ life which It cannot withsttand the hostile germ life which it Is obliged to encounter. In other words. Its power of resistance la diminished,. And when the hours that should be devoted to healthful recreation are given up to the enervating dissi­ pations of club and social life there is a double drain upon the vitality. Many business men nowadays are kept under such continual ner* Vous strain that they resort to stimulants In working bours and it is this sort of abuse, com­ bined with constant and racking excitement, that has earned for paresis recognition as a brain disease to which stock brokers are pecul­ iarly liable--so much so. Indeed, that tt migfctr be called broker's Insanity. The conditions of luxury under which mostv of us live--for these are days when even the poor man enjoys comforts such as were unob­ tainable by the ricb half a century ago--have * , tendency to weaken our constitutions and impair our vitality. Our houses are overheated and even*' the vehicles In which we ride are often warmed almost to suffocation. Thus we hare become like hothouse plants and, if by chancf exposed to a current of cool air, we catch col#; or perhaps contract bronchitis or pneumonia, trifling change of temperature cutting our llvtls short in a twinkling. Or, again, it may be thft a like cause will bring congestion of the kidneys, leading to disease of those organs proving eveij^ tually fatal. " ^ Not long ago. while traveling, I chanced t6 # stop at a village on the river Rhine, where I found an astonishing number of old people.

Nothing ean be more obvious than that the very complexity of our modern civilization Is shortening our lives. But of all the evilB that afflict us the worst and most destructive are hurry and worry. Hurry drives the body ma­ chine beyond its capacity, while worry racks It inwardly. Of the two worry is probably the worse. This might, indeed, be called the age of worry. Because of the Intense nervous strain to which we are subjected we do vastly more wor­ rying than did our forebears. The average man of to-day is continually surrounded and pursued by phantom troubles, which, though few of them ever materialize into realities, haunt him con­ tinually, ruinins bis peace of mind and injuring his health. Worry Is not only distressing, Jrat positively dangerous. It Is the "fruitful cause of many brain diseases and Is often the beginning of dls* orders of the nervous system. Men worry about money matters, about business and about family affairs. It becomes a habit, growing by what it feeds on, so that the victim, with nothing -on earth to bother him perhaps, looks around to dis­ cover something to worry about. If there Is , nothing else to be found, he will worry about his «own health, or about his salvation In the next world. Worry Is one of the most Important fac­ tors In the development of kidney troubles. It may be said in conclusion that the fact shown by the census figures of 1900, that people in rural districts live longer than residents of the cities affords rather a striking illustration of the influence of the complex existence upon lon­ gevity. If we are "dying at the top," as seems to be the case, the misfortune is unquestionably attributable to inherent defects in the civiliza­ tion of which we are so proud. We have mors amusements, travel faster, are more daintily fed, wear finer clothes and are surrounded by more comfort and luxury than any generation that has preceded us; but we pay for all these "things literally with our lives, which, as If by the working out of some inexorably law of compen­ sation. have been considerably 'shortened already and seemingly show a tendency to become pro­ gressively shorter and shorter still. The old proverbs depend largely on the point of view. For instance, you can't convince a mouse that a black cat brings good luck.
