LONGEVITY OF FILIPINos.
Some Of the Curiosities Of the Census
Taken There.

Manila newspapers which have Just
reached Washington give interesting fea-
lures OF the Philippine census which has
just been completed. 1t seems that the
census records are now being examined at
Manila prior to their shipment to Wash
ington. They disclose some Interesting
facts in regard to the longevity Of the Fill
pino people and indicate that despite the
many epidemics prevalent, some survive to
a green old age. 1t was first noticed that
a great number of Philippine people were
over a hundred years old Finally the ex-
animation of a schedule from Laguna pro-
vince disclosed an old fellow who claimed
six score and ten as the length Of his
existence. Considerable interest was
aroused when an old woman laid claim to
one hundred and forty years. The clerks
were then instructed to make note Of all
who had given their age at over one hun
dred years. There were a surprisingly large
number of these, but the record for age
had by no means been established. Batan-
gas province came to the front with an
old lady who boasted of a hundred and
fifty summers. Laguna province at once
returned to the charge with a little brown
brother who modestly claimed he first saw
the light of day just a hundred and sew
enty rainy seasons back
Director of the Philippine Census Sanger
and his assistants think 1t hardly probable
that these ages can be correct and an ef-
fort will be made to prove them by
animation of the church records of the
municipality in which the persons were
born. AS the Spanish church authorities
were very particular to have both births
and deaths carefully recorded 1t is believed
that an investigation will not show these
old folks to be aged as they have stated
to the census enumerator.
Assistant Director Almsted has cited
some facts regarding the taking of the
census of the United States which tend to
prove the majority of old people who claim
very excessive age to have forgotten how
old they were. One old man claimed to be
one hundred and twenty or thirty years Of
age. Upon investigation Of the records Of
the census ten years before 1t was found
that he had aged fifteen years in ten years.
The several census returns for still earlier
years proved that the old gentleman had
been adding fifteen and twenty years to his
age for every ten years actually lived.
Some of the Philippine mortuary sched-
ules show even a more surprising state of
affairs and the cause Of death is frequently
given as sailed away" "called to heaven"
and "gone above" AS no census of la
drones was taken 1t Is not known what
particular complaint induced them to de-
part, but "ordered below would be a fit
ting answer to the question in many cases,
it Is thought.

HAY FEVER ABOLISHED.
Relief-for this Malady Discovered by
Medical Scienee-Breathe HyOmei.

Relief for this Malady Discovered by
Medical Scienee-Breathe HyOmei.
Among the important additions made
to medical science in recent years, none
is more notable than the positive an
nouncement of a cure for hay fever.
While this disease is not regarded as
fatal, it is certainly a most distressing
malady, and if anything car be devised
to cure it, a great boon will be conferred
upon the human race.
Exhaustive experiments with Hyomei
prove that this treatment will prevent
all attacks of hay fever if used two OF
three weeks before the annual appear
ance of the disease and that it may be
relied upon if used faithfully after the
disease has begun, to. relieve at once
and afford a speedy cure.
A. @. Van Glider has sold hundreds
of Hyomei outfits for the treatment of
diseases of the respiratory organs under
the agreement to refund the money il
Hyomei did not afford relief.
In selling Hyomei for the cure of hay
lever, he will continue this equitable
plan, and want all who are subject to
this distressing malady to begin its use
at once. with the understanding that If
it does not give satisfaction, tho pur-
chase price is to De refunded.
Stomach dosing cannot cure hay fe-
yer. A change of climate is the only
treatment that has heretofore aborted
an attack, and Hyomei, which is breath
ed through a eat pocket inhaler COM
ing with every outfit. acts u:on this
Trinciple, giving in your own home a
climate like that of the White Noun
tains or other health resorts.

How Animals Swim.


From the Philadelphia Public
Ledger: Almost all animals know
how to swim without having to
learn it. As soon as they fall into
the water or are driven into it they
~instinctively make the proper mo.
tions, and not only manage to
keep ahoat, but propel themselves
without trouble. Exceptions are
monkey. the camel, giraffe and
llama. which cannot swim without
assistance. Camels and llamas
have to be helped across water, and
giraffes and monkeys drown if
they enter il. Now and then both
of the latter species manage to
CROSS waterways when they are
driven to extremities, just as hu.
man beings can occasionally keep
themselves above water through
sheer fright.
Afuhny. though able swimmer,
is the rabbit. He submerges his
body with the exceptions of his
head and tail. The latter sticks
away up in the air. and his hind
legs make soap suds" as he churns
the water madly to get away.
But with all this awkwardness he
is q swift swimmer, and is only
beaten by the squirrel among the
land animals. The squirrel swims
with his heavy tail sunk away
down'in the water and his head
held high. He cleaves the water
like a duck, and a man in a row.
boat has all he can do to keep
abreast of the swimming squirrel.
One thing that none of the land
living animals does is to dive. No
matter how hard pressed swimm-
ing deer, rabbit, squirrel or other
purely terrestrial animal may be it
will remain above water. But the
muskrat, beaver, ice bear and other
dive Immediately.
