The most Amazing figures found by
the German statistician, says the New
York Sun, came from that troublesome
and turbulent region known as the
Balkan Peninsula. Servia has 575 per-
sons who are more than 100 years old;
Roumsnis, l,0S4 and Bulgaria, 1888.
In other words, Bulgaria has q centen-
Rrian to every thousand inhabitants, and
thus holds the international record for
old inhabitants. In 1892 alone there
died in Bulgaria $50 persons of more
than 100 years. In the Balkan Penin-
sula, moreover, person is not regarded
as on the verge OF the grave the moment
he becomes acentenarian For instance,
in ServiR there were in 1890 some 200
persons between LOG and 1l5 years, 1913
between lis and l25, and 18 between l26
and 1876. Three were between 1876 and
lao.
Who is the Oldest person in the world?
The German statistician does not credit
the recent story about Russian 16O
years DID, Russia has no census, he
says, and except in cases Of special off.
cial investigation the figures of ages
in Russia must be mistrusted. The
oldest man in the world is then, in his
opinion, Bruno Cotrim, q Negro born in
Africa and now resident In Rio Janeiro.
COtrim is $50 years old. Next to him
comes probably retired Moscow cab
man, named Kustrim, who is in his 14Oth
year. The statistician says the Oldest
woman in the world is 1870 years old, but
negleots to give her name or address,
possibly out Of courtesy, or perhaps in
view Of the extraordinary figures which
came to his hand from the Balkans, he
thought subject only 13O years old was
hardly worthy of particular mention.

Cleaning Brass.

A restoration to beauty and usefulness
Of brass lamp was accomplished in this
way: In most stoves a very fine powder
sccumulates that is not ashes, yet has
the essence Of the wood in it. Part Of
this, in one saucer, was moistened well,
and another saucer held the dry powder,
pan Of good soapsuds stood near and
piece Of sheepskin was at hand. With
tooth. brush all the brass was we'll
secured, then washed in the suds and
dried. Then the dry powder and sheep
skin were vigorously applied, and the
brass shone with a soft luster, very supe-
rior to even the hard brilIiancy of new
ness. This powder will restore brass
rods when tarnished and fy-speoked, and
an occasional rub with wooden cloth or
piece Of sheepskin dipped into the dry
powder will keep them in good condition.

A Noble Old Age.
From the CongregationalIst.

From the Congregationallst.
Elk Senator Henry L. Dawes cele-
brated his 8Oth birthday last Friday, and
received the congratulations of hosts of
friends. He has rarely made a more
vigorous and able speech than he did a
few weeks ago at Lake Mohonk on the
condition in the Indian Territory; and in
his long and useful public life he has
perhaps done no more valuable service
than he is now doing in bringing order
and justice into the tangled affairs of
that country. Senator Morrill, Of Yer
mont at Sc has just been reelected to
another term Of six years in the United
States Senate. DR.. Temple at rs has been
appointed Archbishop Of Canterbury.
Gladstone at 86 is still one of the most
prominent figures In English political
life DR.. r. S. Storrs at rs is speaking
as forcefully and eloquently as at any
time in his life. Such men grow more
valuable as their experience increases,
nor are they less appreciated because
their years are many. Who would not,
by temperate living and unselfsh service,
strive TO attain noble old age?

Household Notes.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The white Of an egg answers very we'll
in place Of mucilage.
The cut half Of q raw potato will
brighten dull knife blades upon which it
is rubbed.
For burns take equal parts Of water
and pure olive oil, beat them to a cream,
apply to the burn on piece of soft linen.
Small pieces of raw potato in little
water shaken vigorously inside bottles
and lamp chimneys will clean them ad-
mirably.
Porcelain or earthenware that has be-
come dingy or stained is much improved
by rubbing or securing with salt busted
upon cloth.
IL black underwear, stockings, or black
yarn that is to be knitted is boiled a few
minutes in milk the dye will not stain
the skin, SO German women say.
To utilize cold boiled cabbage, mix it
with grated cheese, put it in buttered
dish, moisten with milk, cover thickly
with bread crumbs, and bake.
Persons who suffer from the cold
should wear loose clothing in chilly
weather, remembering that two thin gar
ments retain more heat than single
thick one.
When clothing has been wrinkled and
crushed by packing, IL shaken out vigor-
ously aud hung up or spread out in hot
room over night its appearance will be
much improved,
In vsntilsting room, open the win
dows at the top and bottom. The fresh
air rushes in one way, while the foul air
makes its exit the other; thus you let in
a friend and expel an enemy.
The smaller the cut Of meat the hotter

The Old worlds Old Folks.

A German statistician has studied the
census returns Of Europe to learn a few
things about the centenarisns of the Old
World. He has found, for instance, that
high civilization does not favor the great
est length Of life. The German empire,
with 55OO0,0OO population, has but 7S
subjects who are more than 100 years
old. France, with fewer than 10000, 900,
has 2l3 persons who have passed their

How to Destroy Plant Pests.

From the WOman's Home Companion.
To destroy the green fly, or aphis, syr-

get rid of the mealy bug, syringe with
kerosene emulsion. 80 eradicate the
little "white worms" which harbor in the
soil near the surface, apply hot tobacco
tea or hot pepper tea, hotter than the
hand will bear. To keep down red
spider, syringe with clear water, and oc-
casionally with soapy water or kerosene
emulsion. Trap slugs and SOW bugs

are troublesome.

New Cure for Bruises.

From Popular Science.
Instead of having recourse to applica-
tions of tlncture Of arnica, spirits Of cam
phOr, and to strong compression of the
swelling, in the treatment of light
bruises, DR.. Anger prefers the use of
olive oil, both in children and in adults.
He applies the oil freely to the confused
parts, and rubs the latter lightly with a
rag, absorbent cotton, or with the fingers,
and covers the brulse with compress
saturated with olive oil. The author
claims that this treatment gives imme-
date relief to the patient, and that the
formation Of a bloody protuberance is
often prevented; while excavations and
superficial wounds, which may be pres
ent, heal very rapidly.
