CHILDREN OF OLD MEN.
serenity Years No Oar to the Acquisi-
tiOn of Interesting FAM
Ilies.

Cases of children being born to men
verging on the three score years and
ten, which are declared by the Psalmist
to constitute the span of human life, are
by no means so rare as might be imag-
ined, says the Nav York World.
The present earl of Leicester, one of
the only peers of the realm who wit
messed Queen Nictoria's coronation,
was II years of age at the time of the
birth of his youngest daughter, whose
eldest sister, aged 40, is already a
grandmother. The famous French Field
Marshal Pelissier, duke of Malakoff,
was 6s when he married, and his only
daughter. recently divorced from the
Polish Count Zambiska, was born n
year later. His fellow field marshals,
Canrobert and Bazaine, likewise mar
ried when they were in the neighbor-
hood of 20, and each left several chill
dren.
The father of Queen Isabella of Spain,
old King Ferdinand, was 6s at the time
of her birth, and 90 when her sister,
the late Duchess de Montpensier, made
her appearance in the world. Ancient
history furnishes many more such in
stances, among the most notable being,
perhaps, those of Cato, King David,
and last, but not least, Father Abra-
ham

the daintiest of summer cottages, is
more clean than a we'll ordered Amer,

camp throughout the entire occupancy
by the battalion, and the fact that, al
though exposed to a malarious climate
in the torrid atmosphere of tropical
summer, at a spot located but few
score of miles from where our poor fell
lows of the army were succumbing by
hundreds in the fever-laden air, the en-
tire loss of life in the marine battalion
was due to the casualties of battle-not
one man died of disease-shows what
can be done by well-regulated and we'll

of military body, writes q. F. Zog-
baum, in Harper's Magazine.
There was no lack of medical or other
necessities; nothing essential to the eff
ficiency of the force as fighting body,
to it's health, to the protection of the
men from adverse conditions of life in
the field during the rainy season of the
tropics, had been neglected or forgot
ten; and, while it is true that the base
of supply was close at hand and the
problem of transportation inland from
the waters edge did not have to be met,
it is safe to assume, from the admirable
order and system displayed, that any
such difficulties presented would have
been overcome.

a returned army officer relates this
incident of the Santiago campaign: At
the close of the first days siege, two Off
GERS were discussing in low tones the
exciting and tragic events of the day.
There was lull in the conversation,
during which the lieutenant, who was
given to sentiment, hummed something
about Just before the battle, mother"
The captains eyes were moist in a mo-
ment and he turned his head away to
hide his weakness. Presently he no.
ticed a slip of boy sitting on the
ground apparently examining his gun
in an absent-minded way.
"Pity to have such children in this
horrible business" said the captain in
a thick voice.
"Thinking of his mother or sweet
heart, I'll bet you," ventured the
lieutenant. "Say, my boy" he called
to the youthful volunteer, with the
evident purpose of cheering him up a
bit, 'a penny for your thoughts"
II was thinking of my Mauser," the
little fellow replied.
There, what did tell you," said the
lieutenant, turning to the captain;
thinking of his mother, like dutiful
son; pity he isn't with her now; this
is no place for boys"
The volunteer overheard this re-
mark, and, springing to his feet, he sa-
luted and said: 81 said l was thinking
of my Mauser, and ] was-my Mauser
rifle; I was just wondering how many
of those cussed dagos l could kill if
had them standing in row."
There was no further sympathy
wasted on the boy recruit; he was q
