THE AGE OF MILITARY COMMAND.
Some of the Hardest Fighters Have Been Away
 Beyond heir Teens.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
 This is an old mans war so far as the army is concerned. W hen tho civil war broke out Lee, the two Johnstons, Cooper and perhaps one or two other men of.years and rank, joined the confederacy, for most of these officers were from southern states. A few elderly officers went into service in the national armies, but with rare excep- tions it was the captains and lieutenants of the regular army who became the gen erals of the clvk war. and the civilians who were appointed to military commands were usually young men. Most of the gen erals and field officers of what is known as "the old army" were deemed physically un- available, and their names are not known to a generation that remembers well the names of scores of military commanders who in 1861 were company officers, or, if in civil life at the time, were just beginning their business or professional careers.
 In 1861 the patriarchs of the United States army were Sumner aged GA, and Mansfield, aged 5s The latter was killed at Ant:e- tam: the former, soon after Fredericks
 burg, was relieved from service in the field at his own request Ormsby McKrig. Mitchell was 52 when the war began, Hoon- CT IT, Meade 46 Thomas 45, Mcdowell, ord and 1iuell 43, Sherman 4, .Augur 40, Grant and Pope 39, Hancock and Burnside B. Lo-

Palms and Their Culture.

A writer In Vicks Maaazine for July gives the following advice regarding the treatment of palms by amateur growers:
 Until within a few years the palm was regarded as wholly [, flCrists plant-some- thing to be rented for special occasions, guarded with the utmost care and return- ed with a sense oI relief if it met no harm. But progressive fcrists have dispelled this illusion by culling from this great family such varieties as are best adapted to anna teur culture. and to endure the vicissi- tudes that characterize the average livirg room. Ambitious amateurs have not been slow to avail themselves of the tempting possibilities in store for them, and have in ttoir turn practically verified the state- ments of florists that the palm will stand a great deal of neqlect and wrong treat ment before showing any bad results. l trust this recital of the fact will not en- courage anyone in careless usage of so no- ble plant but rather emholden the fear ful to try their "'prentce hand upon at least one or two fine specimens. The firm, heavy texture of their fo'iage enables them to endure better than almost any ether decorative plant the varying and high de- erees of temperature to which they are often subjected, and it is very gratify ng to know that the species which thrive best under these advantages gre the most beau- tiful of the whole palm family.
 Palms are especially adapted to places with limited sunshine proving boon to many city dwellers, and will do well In strong light without sunshine. They are often greatly injured by being kept con- stantly in darkened halls and in apartments that preclude the treatment' esesh.lai to their health. A daily spongng or their foliage with tepid water may be given by careful hands without damage to surround ings, and if they are carried to another apartment for an hour of morning sun- shine, and thoroughly showered once or twice a week, they will remain in healthy condition, with judicious water as demand ed Remember always that while limited and early morning sunshine brightens and invigorates the palm, strong sunshine de- stroys the rich green color.

 Most of the general officers of the pres ent army were the generals and coloneis or the regular army; few of these are un- der b' years of age. The four original ma jor-generals' of volunteers appointed from civil life achieved high rank in the civil war A man who was only 27 when that war closed would now be co, so that these commanders are over that age, for the youngest of them, General Wheeler was 2S at the end of the war. General Sewell declir.ed his appointment, preferring to re- main in the senate, and the president ada ed to this list Butler of Sopth Carolina, and Keller of Ohio, both o. These men were not 30 years old when the civil war closed and both of them had distinguished them- selves in that struggle
 Dandolo took Constantinople at 80 or over, and Von Moltke was over 70 at the time of the Franco-German war. Several other German officers were well over GO, but these must be regarded as exceptional cases. Napoleon and Wellington were about 45 at Waterloo, and most of Ma poleons generals were young men. Our officers in the revolution were generally young, but so were the leaders of civil life; the active period of life seemed then to begin and close earlier than now. Scott and Taylor were past middle life in the war with Mexico. After 45 man is liable to develop physical weaknesses that in- terfere with campaigning, and q man of 50 does not generally take the chances that a man of 30 does, and in war many chances must be taken. If General Shafter is to be criticised at all, however, it is for being too aggressive and not for being too eau tious. We do not crticise the general, but if he were to be criticised it would be for fault of youth, and not for a fault of age. But he Is over 60, weighs over 300 pounds and on account of Q trouble with his legs is unable for days at time to stand. He is now trying to direct the siege of Santiago from his cot three miles back from the front. General Wheeler is 62 and was carried forward to the fighting before Santiago on litter but against the protests of the surgeons he insisted on mounting his horse when he reached the front. General Young, also over co, has been invalided home because he can not stand the climate of Cuba. Men be- tween 30 and 40, the age of most of the
