In Statistics Show That When 29 bu Years Old He Is Most Likely bei to Commit Crime. bu It is a singular fact, yet one sub- thl stantiated by statistics, that most Sti crime is committed in New York th by men 29 years old. This is not m( only true of the lesser but also of tie the greather crimes, although a TI man is presumed to be at that me period of his life not only in the zenith of his physical but also in th full and complete possession of pr his mental powers, with a com- lii plete appreciation of right and of wrong and their respective conse- is quences. This condition is a pro- er blem which has not been solved pl by the student of criminology, m and one which is made the more ol complex by the fact that the ages a of 21, 27 and .5 years nearly equal of it, with the intervening years tt showing a far less percentage of ki crime. li It is indeed peculiar that the a' criminal tendency shoull be so 1 strong at 29, with no ,nch inclina- a tion, so far as criwmiln statistics o show, in as great a degree for the o succeeding sixteen years, and then s another outburst of the animal in II mnan. L This condition is found to be I true by actual figures, and as all a statistical computations at which c average conditions are sought to t be determined are arrived at by this method, so may the student C of this subject, as well as the in surance magnate who bases his rates on the general average of losses in proportion to the risks taken, and does so with full safe- I ty, employ it in solving the pro blem before him. Charles K. Baker, chief of clerk to Superintendent Lathrop of New York bureau of statistics, has made this subject one of close study, and will soon have completed a table showing this to be true. He has already completed one rela tive to murderers serving life sen tences in the penal institutions, and its figures bear out the gen eral conclusion. He offers at this time no explanation for this, but hopes after he has exhausted the subject, so far as the presentation of figures are concerned, to be able to set forth reasons why these years should be productive of the most crime.-States. S An Old Idea. Every day strengthens the belief of emi. nont physicians that impure blood is tile ,'ause of most ,f our diseases. Twenty-five , ar4 ra', tuis theory was used as a basis for LLe tformula of Browns' Iron Bitters. The 4 remarkable enres effected by this famous retn,w ly aure sufficient to prove the theory , corrnet. Browns' Iron Bitters are sold by "All Dealers." Average Duration of Life. It has been shown by recent sta tistics gathered by Mr. J. J. Wood win, that women, as a rule, live longer than men; also that the He brew women are the longest lived of ny race. More male children too, dio than female. Of sudden deaths there are about 100 women, to 70 men. In Connecticut many women have lived to be over 100 years old, while scores at the age of 90 are found in every town in the State. In the State of New York the average life of a woman alppears to be 48 years. In Maine the males outlive the females, while in Massachusetts it is the reverse, the average among wo men being 52, while among men it is but 47. In New Hampshire the men live the longest. In Ver mont the men live on an average to be 51, while the women average but 49. The women of Rhode Is land live longer than the men, and so they do in Pennsylvania. The average in New Jersey for women is but 45, while for men it is 48. In Delaware the women outline the men. The average duration of life in Virginia among men is 47, while that among women is 48. In the Southern States there is but little difference in the average between the males and females, but the men as a rule live longer - than the women. In the Western t States the men live on an average ~ three years longer than the wo t men, and according to recent sta f tistics the average is 50 years. a The average for both men and wo- . t men in the Northwest is 60 years. e Telegraph operators die sooner n than those engaged in any other f profession, and men unemployed live the longest. The average life d of a clerk is but 34 years, and this - is also the average among teach - ers. Machinists are outlived by d printers, the average of the for , mer being but 38 years, while that *e of the latter is 39. Musicians live s a year longer. The years of life i1 of an editor is 40, and of manufac rs turers, brokers, painters, shoema uf kers, and mechanics, 43. Judges live to be 65 years of age on an ie average, and farmers to be 64. io Bank officers also live to be 64 on a- an average. The duration of life cs of coopers is 58 years; of public e officers 57; of clergymen, 56; of n shipwrights, 55; of hatters, 54; of in lawyers and ropemakers, 54; of blacksmiths, 51; of merchants, ca be lico-printers, and physicians, 51; 3ll of butchers, 50; of carpenters, 59; ch of masons, 48; of traders, 46; of to tailors and jewelers, 44. by -Job work in all styles at this nt office, get samples and prices. n A gentlemen called at our office of yesterday and told us some facts about the trade St. Martinville is e- pulling her way because of her ro- bridge across the marsh to the pu blic road near Cade. This gentle )rk man was Henry Ortte. He said he counted while there twenty-five de cart loaded with cotton crossing the ly, bridge and they returned from St. a Martinville loaded with all kinds of merchandise. This is a serious matter for our merchants. New en- Iberia was getting this trade until very lately. The roads should be n-, shortened between New Iberia and is Cade and kept in good shape. but These people are more friendly to New Iberia than to St. Martin Sville; but it is only a question of be good roads.a--Iberian. ese NEW FALL HATS the AND MILLINERY GOODSI M. rs.
