Bartenden' Yur- Are Sherlock-Ages
In Other Occupations.
What occupation in life offers man
the beat prospect of long life? The
question is often asked.
‘Dr. Scholield. late lecturer and ex-
aminer for the National Health Boei-
ety, has in hisbook “Nerves In Order"
given a table of longevity which sup-
plies an answer.
Evidently the Christian ministry is
the most healthful of all occupations.
Clergy. who head the list, live more
than twice as long as the average
members of other professions. N0n~
contormist ministers die a little faster.
“The complete list works out thus
In order of longevity: Clergy (55 per
cent”) dissenting minister farmers.
agricultural laborers. grlfcers. law-
yers. drapers, coal miners. watchmak-
ers. artists. shoemakers, bakers.

ors, doctors, butchers, painters. pub-
licans. metal miners, bawkcrs. London

Wore not that'at’ter 41’; they die on
more quickly.
Drapers die largely from consump-
tion. owing to the amount of dust en-
countcrcd in their business. but the
surprisingly good health of coal Initi-
err. is probably due to the harmloss-
ness of coal dust.
linkers dic largely from drink and
