Civilization, I say, is a mere mushroom growth, as compared with the whole life-period of man's existence on earth. It is only ten thousand years old; while, by the most modest and cautious calculation, man has existed one hundred thousand years; and during the ninety thousand which preceded the last ten, he made gigantic progress towards self-knowledge and self-reverence.
The inevitable result of this poverty is malnutrition, resulting in low vitality, lack of resistance to disease, short life-period, huge infantile mortality. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, no mischievous agitator, repeated in 1905 the figures; often quoted: Forty millions of people, according to one great Anglo-Indian authority Sir William Hunter pass through life with only one meal a day.
There were cycles: weaknesses and recoveries; on the whole its long life-period matters very little to history; it only became of great importance when it died.
Keeton was in almost all its conditions a place of rather sleepy contentment, and its people could be trusted to take just as much of the moral as was good for them, and not to carry to extremes the lesson as to the discomfort and dissatisfaction of the probationary life-period.

These were not gathered on one field, but were brought together from all the fields to which he had access in his vicinity. The grains of each of these selected heads were sown separately, and the lots compared during their whole life-period and chiefly at harvest time.
Obviously this sensibility must not be expected to remain the same during the entire life-period, and periods of stronger and of weaker responses may be discerned. In the first place it is evident that external or inner influences are able to change the direction of the development of an organ only so long as this development is not yet fully finished.
The life-period of uranium is probably about eight thousand million years. The life-period of thorium is possibly about forty thousand million years.
The prevalence of plague, cholera, and above all malaria, shows the lack of sanitation alike in town and country. This lack is one of the causes contributing to the low average life-period in India 23.5 years. In England the life-period is 40 years, in New Zealand 60.
