idly promoted him to a captalncy. But
military life did not suit the man who
was destined to shine as the leader az
fashion, SO he sold his commission In
the army and devoted himself to dress
and fine society.
His clothes were a perfect study. The
coat was generally of blue cloth, and its
collar raised against the back of the
head like the hood of a monk-a style
familiar to US in pictures and NINA.

a waistcoat about four inches long
open on the chest, displaying a stiff
white muslin cravat. Hesslan boots
completed the costume. and to these the

rate, two shoemakers were supposed to

gloves, one of whom was exclusively
charged with the cutting out Of his
thumbs. Three hairdressers were like

AS for the personal appearance Of this

face was rather long and his features
neither plain nor ugly" Upon his re-
tirement from military life he set up q
splendid bachelor establishment In
London and became the arbiter of taste
and fashion while his money lasted,
which was until about 1917. He then
fed from his creditors to Calais. and
after living there for some years on
such remittances as he could procure
from his friends he was appointed con-
sui at Caen, France. Here he became
reduced to utter perjury and IN 1910 he
died in a hospital for lunatics. AS a
fashion plate Brummel has never been
surpassed or equaled since.

Every few years statistics of some
kind report that human life is growing
longer. One enthusiastic claim is made
to the effect that within the last half
century the average of life has been
extended over ten years and that for a
long time it was fixed at 33, whereas
now 1t is close to 40. Whether this
claim can be proved is doubtful, but all
statistics seem to agree that the aver
age is advancing dnd that the quality
of life is improving with the quantity.
Men at 60, 70 and rs are still in active
business whara formarly they u,efe set
aside at much earlier age as too old
to work. The passage in Psalms which
puts mans age at three-score and
ten or at most four score years
mas doubtless limited the expectation
ana ambition of men and led them to
regard that period as the fixed and in
eyitable boundary of all that makes
life worth living for them, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. 1t is quite possible,
however, that another passage of scrip
ture, wholly overlooked in the recognl-
ton given to the other, may be pressed
into service and the limit of mans as
piration and endeavor be fixed at 100.
While the Psalmist says "three-score
and ten," In Genesis we find the Lord
saying; Mans days shall be hundred
and twenty years" Why may not this
text incite man to pass from what il
Is. as given in Psalms, to what shall
be, as given in Genesis? WHY not OK.

The much-tall1ed of improvements
to the old City Hall recall the inter-
eeting history OF that building, which
is comparatively unknown to people
who have lived in Wilmington for
years and who pass it by with only a
careless glance. Yet the building in
itself. set back from the street and
quaint in its outlines, should prove of
sufficient interest for an investigation.
The ground was purchased by the Bor-
ough Council in 1895. Peter Bauduy
drew the plans of the building, and it
was completed in 1898.
The original walls still are in the
building, but its appearance has been
changed materially by the removal of
the old tower and bell The clock and
bell were presented to the city by
Joseph Tatnall, who was president Of
the Bank of Delaware. and the letter
accompanying his gift was as follows:
Friends and fellow citizens, ] have
for several years past apprehended
that great convenience would arise to
the inhabitants of this borough by
having a commodius timepiece erected
In a central part of the town. In the
first place 1t would accelerate the
punctual meeting of the religiously-
disposed people at their places of wor-
ship; secondly. 1T will be of great SER
vice to those who think themselves
not of ability to purchase timepieces;

YOU for use of the town, with a sum of
money not exceeding $780, to be laid
out in a large, complete and good bell
to serve the clock as well as the Town
Hall now erecting, which l now beg
