Between the ages of 20 and 25 years, 52 per cent. Between the ages of 25 nnd 30 years, 18 per cent. Between the ages of 30 and 35 years, 15A per cent. Between the ages of 35 and 40 years, 3f per cent. Between the ages of 40 and 45 years, per cent. Between the ages of 45 and 50 years, | of 1 per cent. Between the ages of 50 and 60 years, i of 1 per cent. After 60 it is 1-10 of 1 per cent., or 1 chance in 1,000. —New York Observer.
