TABLE No. 4.

Mortality of Males and Females compared, 1884 to 1890, inclusive.

Table No. 4 exhibits the mortality of males and females compared for the years 1884 to 1890, inclusive. With the exception of the years 1888 and 1890, the female decedents have exceeded the males. By a comparison of the death-rates of the respective sexes to each 1,000 of the living population of that sex it will be seen that the average mortality rate of the male population is slightly higher than that of the female. These figures are based upon the census of 1880, and it may here be remarked, parenthetically, that it is to be regretted that the classification of the sexes, census of 1890, is not yet available for use; therefore the deductions from this table, as well as from a few others are not so accurate as they otherwise might have been.

Table 6 exhibits the number of deaths at different age periods compared with the number living at the same period, based upon the census of 1880, with the exception noted in the table. This table shows a death-rate per 1,000 of the population under one year of age, of 186.61 as against 165.14 for the preceding year; under five years of age, 52.79 as against 50.04 for 1889; between twenty and thirty, 7.77 in 1890, and 6.94 in 1889; all others, 19.74 in 1890, and 17.53 in 1889; for all ages the rate was 18.87 in 1890, and 18.46 in 1889.
