When Man is Really Old

There has been very little, if
any, change in the duration of
mans life since the days Of the
patriarchs-that is some 1900 or
5000 years ago. Every one did
not attain to great age in those
days any more than they do today
for various reasons stated in the
Bible. Abraham lived to be rs
years old (but his younger brothers
appear to have died before him) /.
Abraham S wife, Sarah, lived to be
I27 years old; Isaac lived to be ISo;
Jacob lived to be I47; Joseph lived
to be no; Kohatt lived to be 1873;
his son, Amram, lived to be 1877;
his son, Moses, lived to be Iao;
Aaron was three years older than
his brother, and died some years
before him. Joshua lived to be no.
The number Of persons reported
in 1900 as centenarians and over
was: England, T7o; Ireland, s78;
Scotland, 40; Sweden, 10; Norway,
23; Belgium, 5; Denmark, d
Switzerlanp, none; Spain, 4oI;
Servia, SIS; France, 21s. This IS
not by any means a complete list,
as only some countries are given,
but it helps TO prove that we
should live to be I2o years Or over,
and that we do not do SO was not
the plan or intention Of the Al
Chicago Journal.

INDOOR HAMMOCKS.
An Ideal Resting Place Suitable For
IA Small Room

The hammock i'll the minds of most
people is associated with outdoor life
on the verinda and lawn in the good
old summer time, but it has possibli-
ties as an indoor attraction during 9th
er seasons. \ woman who believes in
the hammock as a comfort producer in
doors and out says: There are many
rooms too small to hold conveniently
comfortable sofa. For these l con
slider a hammock little short of a ne
cessity, While in large ROOMS the ham
mock would merely be an added beau
ty, a perfect lounge for reading and an
ideal resting place. 1t must be netted
with strong silk, it must be very wide
and long enough to lie at ease and
rest and sleep ia. and the color must
be in perfect harmony with the room.
The hammock can he bought ready
made.
Indian red is a color which harme-
nizcs with alnaost everything, or the
hammock could be made of material of
ones own choosing. and materials
which are dreams OF joy are nowadays
Within tic reach Of all. An oriental
drapery is needed to throw over one
end and 1T least four large soft cush-
ions for the inside of the hammock.
There ROW remain simply the hang
ing Of Tie hammock and the tying t,,

tivd ability and tact of a high order"
In 1899 he went to the Philippines with
Lawton.
The latter recommended Edwards for
four brevets; major lieutenant, colonel
and colonel in the regular establishment
and brigadier general of volunteers. He
was mentioned at great length in Law
toms reports for gallantry at the battle
of Santa and during several expeditions
in the island of Luzon.
Upon the death of Gen. Lawton Col
Edwards was ordered to bring the body
to the United States. After his return
to Washington, he was made chief of the
division of insular affairs. 1t was then
division with five clerks, Now it is
a bureau with 100 clerks and deals with
the greatest questions relating to the
colonial dependencies.
An achievement of the bureau that has
attracted a good deal of attention con-
cerned the handling of Philippine funds.
These were placed on deposit in this coun-
try at three and one third per cent in
terest Philippine notes to the amount
of 100000 were issued at one and one

deposited at three and one-half per cent,

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-An interest
ing development of the war with SPAN
has been the bureau of insular affairs.
Unheard of and undreamed of before that
war, it has become one of the great
branches of the government. A branch
of the war department, it has become
second in Importance only to the great
cabinet departments.
Of equal interest is the genius and
versatility of Col. Clarence X. Edwards,
who is in charge. He came here with
as high praise as could be won by a sol
der on the battleline-the praise OF Oen'
Lawton. Placed at the head OF the bureau
of insular affairs, without precedent ana
without guidance, he, has displayed az ad,
ministrative ability that has evoked the
highest compliments of Secretary of War
Root. Rarely has a government othclal
been confronted with more novel or I'M
portant problems or acquitted himself IN
a difficult position with more success. >.
It is reported that the promotion lndl-
Gates that the retirement of Lieut.. Gen
Young will bring to Col Edwards the star
of a brigadier general. There are 81
names under consideration by the presl-
dent. Despite this general ambition, IL
officers of high rank have written letters
expressing the opinion that the, honor
should be conferred upon Col. Edwards.
He graduated from West Point IN 1883
During the early part of the war with
Spain he was at Mobile, Tampa and
Huntsville. For his work there he was
highly praised in reports to the war qe-
partment by Brig. Gen. Coopinger, VINO
