THE AGES OF OUR PRESIDENTS.
Most of Them Have Been Well Advanced
in Years on Election.

The candidate of the Chicago conven-
ton was born March 16, 1860, so that
he is only four months past his thirty
sixth birthday. Not only is Mr.. Bryan
the youngest man ever nominated for the
presidency, but he is not far beyond the
which declares: Neither shall any per-
son be eligible to that Office who shall
not have attained to the age of 30
years.
Heretofore, with few exceptions, those
who have held the position of Presi-
dent of the United States have attained
to it late in life. Particularly was this
true of William Henry Harrison, who
was the oldest of the Presidents, being
6S years Of age when he took Office.
Buchanan was IS when he became chief
magistrate, and next to him in point of
years was Zachary Taylor, the hero of
Buena Vista, and the eleventh President
of the United States. john Adams,

Cherry Stone Incense.

French women often collect all the
fruit stones that come in their way dur
ing the summer-cherry, plum, peach and
apricot stones. They are washed and
boiled in clean water, dried in the sun
and put into chintz or printed linen bags.
When hot applications are required for
tooth or earache or rheumatic pains one
of these bags is made thoroughly hot
in the oven and laid on the affected part.
A bag of fruit stones thus heated is
good for cold feet. The stones give a
pleasant. spicy scent and retain the
caloric for a long time.-Toronto Mail.

American Mail Tubes.

A mail tube is under consideration for
carrying mail between the New York
and Brooklyn postofices. If built it will
cross the bridge, and be operated by cleo
tricity or pneumatic pressure. The
bridge trustees ask a rental of $1,000
for the first two years and $4,000 a year
thereafter. Il is stated that the postof-
fee department is willing to pay from
$1,000 to $4,000 year to company
that will transport the mail by tube.
The plan would undoubtedly greatly ex-
pedite the interchange of letters between
the two cities.-Engineering News.

It is ascertained that the precise tenn
perature at the bottom of the Red Jae4t
shaft in the Calumet and Hecla mines,
a depth of 1876 feet is IS degrees when
the dsllling machines are working, and
that when the machines are shut down and
have remained shut down for some time
the temperature does not exceed 81 de-
grees. In some places in these mines,
however, the thermometer registers 1O5
degrees, and even as high as 1OS de-
grees. this being in the pump rooms of
the eighth, sixteenth, twenty-fourth and
excessive heat is caused not by the in
ternal heat of the earth, but by the
great 4-inch steam pipe which carries
the steam from the boiler-house on the
surface of the various pumps under
ground, even to the last one on the line,
