Number or People Since Adam, Did you ever make a calculation of obable the probable dumber of people that have inhabited onr globe since the beginning of time! No doubt you will say that such calculations Involve a loss of time, and are after all barren of results. But let us take a few minutes’ time and ap proximate, with a certain degree of accuracy, the number of aoule that have bean uehered, into this wicked world since the time when it was "not good for Adam to be alone.” At the prosent time It Is believed that there are 1,400,000,000 human beings on the globe) but let ns suppose that there * 1 beei ' " bae been but nnj average of 000,000,000 living at any one time since tho crea tion, Next, to give room for any possible donbt, we will put the average length of life at fifty years.

The reason is probably found in tho fact not that great men nvo more prone to dio in January than at any other time of the year, but that the weather in that month is unsettled, and consequently hard on the constitution alike of great and hum ble. Great men are only human after all, and n great man physically weak ened by hard work or diseaso is just as likely to die from a change of weather -aa though he wore a day laborer. The mortality tables show that tho month of January and the first month of exceedingly hot weather in tho sum mer are more fatal than any other time of the year, and tho groat must take Hjheir chances with other people.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
