How Old Was MsihussIahp

So many legends long accepted as
TACT have been shattered in the past
few years that when so great an autho-
rity as the Jewish World rises to ar
nounce that Methuselah was not so Oh
after all, no one is particularly sur
prised. Instead of being nine hundred
and sixty-nine years old, as formerly
estimated, it now turns out that he at
tanned only the respectable but ordinary
age of seventy-eight.
There has always existed a certain
amount Of doubt, even among believers
in the literal truth of the Bible. con-
corning the great age to which the
Jewish patriarchs are recorded as bav-
ing lived. Some of the theories evolved
to reduce the biblical records of this
kind to something near the allotted span
OF man are dealt with in the article.
1t is surmised, the Jewish World saws.
that in the earliest times the month.
the period OF a moon cycle, was called a
year. Thus Adams nine hundred and
thirty years Of life, calculating a wear
at twenty-nine and one-half DAYS. the
length of lunar month, works ont tn
seventy-five and one-quarter years
After the month-year there came a FIVE
month year. the limit of five being de-
rived from the fingers on one hand. il
being remembered that primitive pso-
pie always used the fingers for counting
purposes. Then came the twelve-montb
yesr.
Excuse for this re-arrangement is
found in the psalmist's limit of life Of
threeseore and ten years, and il is main
tanned that between the times of Noah
and David no such extraordinary change
could have taken place as to reduce the
life of man by eleven-twelfths. On thu
five-month year basis, Abrahsm's one
hundred and seventy-five years work
Que at seventy-two, and Issac's one
hundred and eighty at seventy-four.
Perhaps, too, there interviewed a six
month year, discovered by Jacob while
watching Laban's fiocks. Thus Jacob's
one hundred and forty-seven years work
out at about seventy-three. The twelve
month year began with the Egyptiaps.
VINO saw that complete period was
made up of the two years" in one If
which the days were longer than the
nights and in the other the nights long
er than the days.
The Christian and Jewish years, con-
cludes the Jewish World, will not for
ever be separated, for" it says, in
due course Rosh Hsshona will fall at
Christmas time and then cstch up the
Christmas year. This, however, will
not happen for thirty thousand years.
and no doubt that is the reason why
nobody worries about it."

Teach the Children to Save Money.

1t Is often and truthfully said that q
penny saved is a penny made. The
foundation of many of the greatest
fortunes was begun by saving a penny.
The habit of saving is one of the best
that can be formed. Every child should
be taught to save something everv
week. The satisfaction of counting
these pennies when the bank is emptied
Is one of the pleasures that we never
forget; perhaps every one of US can re-
member the thrill of joy we had when
we emptied the contents of the bank on
the table and counted and recounted
this mountain of wealth; how eager we
were to tell our little friends the amount
of our great fortune, and raced with
them in refilling the bank.
To bring this pleasure within the
reach of every child and help the FORM
ing of the penny-saving habit, Messrs.
Scott & Bovine, 400 Pearl Street, New
York, the manufacturers of Scott's
Emulsion, are offering to send to any
address, for 10 cents, beautiful little
Savings Bank; each bank contains a
new Good Luck Penny. Send 10 cents
and get one.

States finances had been incapable and
-wssteful. Now that the State treasury
is in q frightful condition and It is evil
dent that appropriations for State de-
partments and institutions will have to
be heavily cut down because Of made
quscy of revenue, the Democrats are
becoming alarmed over the situation.
For several weeks the Senate Finance
Committee, composed of Democratic
State Senators, has been sitting at
Richmond and wrestling with the stu
alton. The Times-Dispatch of the 9TH
instant states that the members of the
committee find themselves more and
more at sea in the absence of some ba-
Sis upon which to estimate the probable
revenue-of the Commonwealth.
So it seems the Democratic financiers
are at sea. They are sailing on a
wretched treasury that has been looted
by the political brigands" which the
Hon. Carter Glass few years ago said
were running the State.
From disclosures made by the MEM
bers of the aforesaid Finance Commit
tee, it is evident that relief will be
sought by raising the taxes on real es-
tate. This is to be accomplished not
by increasing the tax rate but by in
creasing the assessments on lands.
1t is reported that as a means for ac-
comprising this end an equalization tax
bill is to be framed, and that this bill
will revolutionize the present and time
honored methods by which real estate
assessments have been made. 1t is pro-
posed that the real estate assessors in
1910 shall appraise property values up-
on the basis as revealed in transfers oc-
curing during the year 1909. Property
which did not change ownership during
that year is to be assessed upon the ba
Sis of lands of similar location and char
acter which were sold.
1t is also contemplated to have the
State Auditor review all real estate as
sessments. After the assessors books
are returned to the Auditors Office one
of his clerks will carefully examine
them and use his judgment as to
whether or not the lands have been
fairly appraised, and the Finance Com
mittee thinks this clerk should have
power to reject the work of the assess
ors when in his Judgment it is unsatis-
factory.
The placing of such law on the stat
ute books will completely unsettle and
diminish real estate values in the best
portions of Virginia. Such a PROPOSE
ton is more in keeping with the desper-
ate methods of the Kings of England
and other countries who tried to force
from their unwilling subjects money to
be expended in wasteful and riotous liv
ing, than with the present enlightened
business age.
But the hungry members of the tribe
have to be fed and fattened from the
public crib, and the landowners of the
State are to be raided and looted for
their benefit.
