The Oldest Man in the world.

At recent meeting of physicians in Bogota,
Dr. LUZ Hernandez read paper OF unusual
interest 1t was an account of visit he paid
to one Miguel Soils, halEbreed farmer llv-
ing in the foot hills of the Sierra Mesilia. The
remarkable thing about Miguel is that he
gives himself out as $50 years old, more or
less" and his neighbsrs believe 1t IS good
deal more than less. Gray.headed men told
the doctor that they remember Mi suel as re-
puted centenarian when they were boys; also
that the name of NJ guel Soils colored farmer,
appears in list, still preserved Of the contrib
utors to the building fund OF FRANCISCAN
Monastery near San Sebastian, which was
founded in 17l2, and that the present abbot Is
positive it Is the same man. The doctor found
the old fellow at work in his orchard-parch-
menLski nned, robust, active, his snow white
hair twisted turban fashion round his head.
and his eyes so bright that the doctor felt I'M
comfortable when they were turned upon him.
Questioning as to his habits Miguel told the
doctor that the secret of living u century or
two was very simplC-merely never getting
drunk and never over teediag.
'J eat only once a day a big hearty meal
which il often takes ME half an hour to get
through with; but you see it Is not possible In
half an hour to eat more than you can digest
the next ,wenty.four."
He went on to say that he hadn't made up
his mind about meat, but did not eat much OF
It: he tasted on the first and middle days OF
each month, eating nothing, but drinking all
the water he could swallow; he always lei
cooked food cool before eating it; that was
yby his teeth were as sound as $50 years ago
II was hardly necessary to add that all the In
dams in the neighborhood firmly believe thai
old Miguel has sold himself to the uevil.

What IL Thought In Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Traveller says:
1.-THE selection Of Senator Blaine for the
highest seat in the Cabinet is looked upon
here, by all parties. with the exception of q
few personal enemies, and they are few in
numbers, indeed. and quite nninfuential. -
as most capital appointment 1t is under
stood that he was offered the choice of any
position in the Cabinet, and he chose that of
Secretary of State. This surprised all his
enemies. and many Of his friends and admir-
crs. They expected he would choose the
Treasury Department. as this is the place
for an ambitious man aspiring TO the Pres-
dency to exercise power and influence, ten
times greater than that of any other of the
departments. Fortunately for New England
interests. il not for his personal adj
vancement, he chose the State Depart
ment. New England is more largely
interested. and has more at stake in com
mercc and navigation than any other section
of the country. The State Department fur
nishcs the largest and best field for the pro-
motion of commercial interests Of any other
or. in fast, all other departments of the gov
crnmept. No statesman in the country I'M
derstands the needs of commerce and the
causes Of its decline upon this continent bet
ter than Mr.. Blaine. He has always put
forth his best efforts ever since he has been
in public lite to foster and encourage the in
tcrests Of commerce.. New Englaed, there
fore, and especially Massachusetts,, is To be
congratulated upon his choice of the State
Department for his field of service.

Augusta has about dozen milkmen, most
of them residing in the suburbs, who retail
the tactical fluid. One hundred quarts of milk
per day is considered pretty good milk
route. Some small routes take but fifty
or sixty quarts, and some less than that.
There are several milkmen who supply l'o
or lG0 quarts a day. Prices Of milk range
from . to 6 cents quart. The milkman is oil
necessity an early riser commencing his days
work at about 4.30 A. NJ, in the winter, and
$50 in the summer, and works hard for what
he earns. An average route is about 70
miles long, and spoils forenoon. One hun
dred quarts bring man five or six dollars
and deducting the cost of keeping his cows
and expense of delivering the milk, small
margin is left. The improvement to farm
resulting from keeping cows, is the only m
ducement that keeps many man on MILL
cart.
