Men may write and write , and men
may think and think , but without the
printer their thought would be of lit
tle value to the world. Among all the
trades there is not one more honorable
or important than that of the printer ,
the man who edges up the metallic
messengers of thought with nimble
fingers or who manipulates with dex
terous hand the keyboard of that mar
velous invention which continually ex-
eites intelligent wonder and admira
tion , the linotype , that monument to
Otto Mergenthaler's genius which the
wisest man should be proud to claim.
The composing and press rooms of a
great modern daily newspaper never
ceases to be impressive to the thought
ful man , even though his days and
nights may be spent therein. The
world cannot do without the printer.
Figures will not lie , goes the maxim ,
but figures do sometimes prevaricate.
Perhaps it would be better to say that
figures sometimes permit an errone
ous inference to be drawn from them.
This has received Illustration in the
analysis of vital statistics made by the
Insurance actuaries of the world at
'their recent convention In New York.
{ The actuaries , that is , have discovered
that while the "average of longevity"
lias Increased as a matter of figures It o
has not increased as a matter of prac v
tical value. In other words , peop'e 1
grown-up people do not Lve any 1f
1T
longer than their great-great-grand
fathers lived. They do not live as T
long. The "average of longevity" has 1)U
been brought up by figuring in the in- 1)d
jfant mortality , which has greatly de- 1)t
I
jCreased owing to improved m dern t 1)w
methods of Infant hj'gieue , diet and 1)a
* anltaton. ! Grown-ups do not share ir ; a
'the added longevity. Thanks to steam w
heat , adulterated food , high-pressure a
business methods and oth T foes or e
vitality , the twentieth century adu t S'P
Is at a disadvantage as compared with S'P S'T
T
iis forefathers , even though he enjoys
tMJtter medical attendance when he is P
kick. So that the "average of longev tlOi
ity" Is a delusion and a snare just as Oi
.the average of anything else is likely 1Ca
to be. We for a
may , example , reason
that the climate of a city whose' ' n
mean temperature is GO iegrees ought n
to be mild and but la
equable , if we in
vestigate and find that the thf-rmom-
eter ranges between 100-above zero
in summer and 20 below zero in win tl
ter we realize the unreliability of mean tlI
temperatures. What has occurred to
Increase the "average of longevity" Is
that the mortality among th weak has hi
diminished ; there has been no Increase tl
pf vitality among the strong. The
feumber of weaklings Is , therefore ,
rreater , and the condition of the mass
* nas consequently deteriorated rather in
inPI
than advanced. PI

Sympathy Is costly. Aidof every ci
jest la eostly. But , as Dr. ' J6"V . v the
said , so are spite and ill-nature "amonq
the most expensive luxuries In life. "
It CGSJ ? us -rmously to be rude , 1J3
naturcd or mean. It costs much to
give way to unrestrained anger , to har
bor spite and bad fee.-l.ng. If we must
spend BO much of our life forces on
others , were It not better to spend it
in kindness than in unkindness ?
"Getting even" is a hazardous bui > i-1
ness. It Is much easier to get even
with the wrong in a man than it is to
get even with the man in the wrong ,
You can much better afford to remain
uneven with such a man than to lower ,
yourself to his lever. Hate hurts tie
hater more than the one hated. Re
venge is a poor investment. Look at
It rationally from any standpoint , and
you must see that it never pays. You
are obtuse Indeed if you have not learn
ed from experience that one little drop
of kindness holds more of the real nee-
ter Of life than dees a whole ocean of
spite. You may search the whole
world of philosophy through and find
no truer thought than this that pr'de ,
envy , malice , hatred , revenge and all
the other evil passions the heart is
heir to work their first and worst in
jury to their possessors ; they cirrode ,
render wretched and destroy first tha
heart in which they originate. The man
you hate and plot against may know
nothing about it or care. If he gives
a thought to you it may bs only to de
spise you. Is it worth while to fill
your soul with poison for no hotter
results than this ? Is it wi e to skulk
gloomil3r in the hogs of "pite , when
only a step will take you out into the
genial sunshine of kindness ? Is H
sensible to dwarf yourself in efforts to
make some man iccognlze that you
are his eneinj * and can hurt him , when
you can ei/noble yours-elf by the fnr
less effort nete..rary lo make him see
that you are Lis fiienJ , and can hty I
him ? What you give you get back in
kind. Is it not better to have the
respect of others than their hatred and
contempt ?
For some years past physicians havi
been sounding an alarm on the appa
rent rapid increase in cancer. Their
argument is based upon the official
mortality s-tatislics of various conn
tries , which reem to show that thu
number of deaths from malignant tu
mors is becoming greater , is not only
absolutely and in proportion to the in-
erease of popu'atku. but also in pro
portion to the deaths from all causes.
Thus in England in 1890 the death-
rate from cancer was nearly sixty-
eight per one hundred thousand of tin1
population , and in 39i'0 it was almost
eighty-thiee per one hundred thousand.
The ratio of deaths from cancer to
those from all causes in persons over
thirty-five years of age was one out
of twenty in 1S90 , hut in 1COO it was
one out of twelve. The publication of
th-'se figures has created a feeling of
great uneasiness in England , and uianj
theories have been put forward t
account for them. But as a matter
of fact , the condition is probably no'
so bad as it appears to be. Figures ai. '
notoriously misleading , and those on
the prevalence of cancer are doubtk-si
no exception to the rule. lu the firs'
place vital statistics are becoming a
more accurate with each year , and
figures are now returned from placet 01E
whence none came ten years ago ir
Again , physicians are acquiring constantly ii
iia
stantly greater accuracy in diagnosis , a
and many deaths hich would former u
ly have been returned as from some re
other cause are now put down to can jc
cer. Another fact which soften ? it
somewhat the terrifying aspect oJ itti
these statistics is that the general titc
length of life is increasing , and there tl
fore more people live to the age a' 1 >
which cancer commonly appears le
These facts cannot , however , explaia tl
away all the figures , and it is un fc
doubtedly true that cancer Is increas e
ing more or less rapidly. But there it tl
a bright side to this , as to nearly all tlP
things , for the very fact of its increas * tl
has drawn the attention of scientific tl
investigators in all countries to can tlhi
