The census bureau has the figures to show that the extreme span of human life does not exceed 110 years, notwithstanding the fact that Captain Diamond of Oakland, Cal, claims to have an authentic record of being 114 years old on May 1st, 1910. Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur’s report affirms that it is undoubtedly true that the age of 100 years is occasionally at- tained. It suggests that it is perhaps doubtful whether, as shown by incon- trovertible evidence, the age of 110 has even been reached or exceeded. This would, it is stated, set the possible Jongevity of man or the extreme span of human life somewhere between 100 and 110 vears. Dr. Wilbur declares that it would ve a fact of vast interest to human- ity if it were true that a human being could live 150, or 140, or 130 years, or even 120, or 110 years, as estab- lished by recent observation. The ca- pability of the bodily mechanism would be tested and it might be in- ferred that, with better hygiene, su- perfor eugenics, and proper methods of MNving, the extreme limit of life might more frequently be attained, and that after many generations the aver- age age of humanity might perhaps approximate this limit. The report goes on to show that up to very recent times the most incred- ible reports, the most inaccurate statements, and the most uncritical methods of study, have been believed. Since Thoms’ investigations in 1873 great skepticism has arisen in the minds of many in regard to the re- puted ages of centenarians and, the report declares, some have even stated that there were no actual cases of cen- tenarians on record, in spite of the official returns of population and deaths to that effect, The government finds that Noah Ra- by, who was known as the oldest man in the country in 1904, at 132, was in reality never a centenarian, but at the time-of his death about 93. In explanation of this state of things the report says: “It is well known that many of the statements of exact age even in the middle period of life and in youth, are not strictly correct. In old age, with impaired memory, with possibly unin- tentional confusion of what has been heard and what has been actually ex- perienced by the individual in regard to the events of early years, after the death of contemporaries whose testi- mony might contradict claims to ex- cessive longevity, and with the well- known tendency of many aged persons to exaggerate, in the utmost good faith, the number of years that they have lived, it is not at all surprising that many unfounded claims to ex- treme old age arise. The deaths of centenarians reported by the census are too few to vitiate seriously the statistics, even if in every case the age was Iincorrectly stated, and they are therefore shown just as they, were returned. \ “In the annual regisiration reports of Maine and Massachusetts may be found details in regard to the reported centenarians who 'died in those states. Dr. Wilbur states that it is perhaps desirable that similar details should be given in all registration reports, or at least that the statement of ages should enable the number of decedents aged 100 years and over to 'be known. If verified statements of age can be se- cured, the evidence of longevity should be given. Physicians and registration officials should take pains to ascertain ihe truth’ about such cases, because they are of extreme interest 1o the public, and many foolish and sensa- ttonal statements pass current. 1t =hould be possible, with the general adoption of modern methods in obtain- ing vital statistics, to determine, from the vast number of deaths registered, the maximum &pan of human life.” 1905, average Those who have wondered in what | kind of a dress suit Roosevelt wi appear at King Edward’s funeral should have thought that any suit which best becomes a gentleman might do. The Harvard student who is living on one dollar a week will not be in danger of crowding his heart, or feel the necessity for calling a physician. It does not do any good to tell a man how mean he is. He knows, but perhaps he is totally ignorant of the blessings of a well ordered life.

All those who were in a state of alarm on Wednesday have realized what fear can do for a per- son—it is. a more serious matter to'l ‘the human ‘being than anything which concerns the comet. It would not have been surprising had there been a tidal wave created by it, but the telegraph and cable lines gave no notice of any unusual occur- rence in any part of the earth in con- sequence of the comet, The comet has created an intense interest in astronomy and the people who have failed to see the comet al- though they have risen early, will still have a chance to see it in the west for a few. weeks, getting smaller and smaller until finally it will disappear in the distance, showing to the ob- servers the vastness of space, for it will not be completely lost sight of until it hes traversed hundreds of mil- lions of miles. The comet is going to keep its speed and its orbit for three-quarters of a century, when it will again cross the face of the sun, which it has done some thirty times in its recorded ca- reer. ‘The astronomers have learned some- thing more of this visitor than was ever learned before through the use of the spectroscope, and when it comes again the advance in science will have been so great that the purpose of these coursers of the skies may be discov- ered. The mind of man is mighty in its ability to grasp and solve these great celestial problems. THE LITTLE BRONZE BUTTONS. The Bennington Banner having in- dulged in a sneer at “the little bronze button,” worn by some of the candi- dates for office from time to time, real veterans of the civil war who were entitled to wear it, the Rutland News calls The Banner's attention to the fact that 3,000 Vermonters still wear that button, and then with reference to i meaning, said: “First, it represents the life of a nation, the great republic, the United States of America. It identifies the wearer as one of the nation’s preserv- ers. To go into detail it points to a ONTHEMOFARO NCE to if his heart is still there. Sit- ting opposite you, as he does, he nat- urally would begin soon to wonder if he still possessed that very important ergan’” Mr. Haredale is really a very agreeabld man. “You know that my niece May llved in Spain for several years, where she learned to speak the language like a ‘native. 1 determined to write down some of Senor Ibero’'s words if I could remember them and ask May to trans- late them for-me. One night at din- ner I caught the word ‘amarillo” which he uttered several time. Taking out a Ittle memorandum book I wrote it down immediately while it was fresh in my mind, being quite sure it was a word of endearment.” “What does it mean?”’ asked her friend, hoarsely, but eagerly. “1 showed it to MaY. explaining the circumstances, and she said, ‘Amarillo is Spanish for yellow. “‘What do you suppose he meant by it? I asked, She replied ,indifferently, “What does anybody mean when using the word yellow- Daffodils, sunflowers, vellow literature. At any rate, he wasn't alluding to Miss Haredale. When a man wants to compliment a woman he doesn’t call her yellow. “One night May came to spend the evening with me. The Spaniard and Irene were in the parlor. He was sit- ting on the very edge of his chair, leaning forward and talking with his soul in his eyes, occasionally waving his arms and then placing both hands over his heart. I made May stop in the hall to pretend to look for an ad- dress in the telephone book. * ‘Listen!’ I whispered. “Wait awhl'le and then tell me what they say.’ “So May listened. “I could hardlv wait until we reach- ed my room. I was so anxious to hear what she h to tell me. *“‘What was it? I asked as I closed the door, carefully. “She replied, ‘He was abusing his tailor, He said he had sent that coat back twice and still the armohles were too small’ “‘But he was making such tragic gestures,;” I reminded her. “‘My dear aunt, that is a pecularity of the Latin race. Those people are so desperately in earnest about every- thing.” . “I thought you were leading mp to something .thrilling,” croaked Miss Horkins’ hostess. “My dear, it would have been thrill- if the conversation had been “Your maié said you could not speak on account of your cold,” said Miss Horkins, as she took a , “but I can do the talking for th. .

Irene has been brushing up her Span ish lately, as her father expects to take her with him when he goes to Mexico to look after some lands that be has there. “One night at dinner she joyously announced that she had persuaded her Spanish teacher, Senor Ibero, to come and board with Mrs. Blenks, and she said he would have a place at our table where she would get the benefit of his conversation, which of course would be In Spanish, “I was not at all pleased with this plan, for nothing is more annoying than to hear conversation in a tongue that one doesn’t understand. “Senor Ibero is quite good-looking and very polite, though he speaks but little English, and it didn't take me long to make up my mind that he was making love to Irene! 1 immediately classed him with those foreigners who come here to seek rich wives. for Irene, she is perfectly fascinated with him, and when he is about she has eves and ears for none 'but the Span- jard. “I said one day to Mr. Haredale: ‘Do you realize that Senor Ibero is making love to your daughter? “‘No, Miss Horkins, I do not’ he replied. “‘Do you understmd what it is that they are saying? o0, nor do I want to,’ re replied. “My daughter translates parts of their conversation, sometimes, and it is about the plays of Echegaray, or the novels of some of those old Spanish fellows that it would bore me to death to hear about.” “‘I cannot be deceived,’ I continued pel | v firmly. ‘If he is not making love to |ing Belor e e oty hame shd butse why does Senor Ibero so often | translated properly.

Revenue More Plentiful. ‘When the present congress assembled in epecial session a little more than a year ago economy was the watchword on every side, because the treasury was confronted with a deficit of $6 000,000 at the end of the fiscal year ending with June, 1909. While some improvement in revenue was expected as-a result of the revision of the tariff and because of improving business, there was a settled belief that the fiscal vear 1910 would also show a good de- ficit. Now at the close of the tenth month of the present year the federal treas- ury is found to be in a very strong position. Instead of a deficit the pres- ent fiscal year now promises to close A Maine Grangers' club sent back to their congressman the free seeds re- ceived, amnd this message: Give us a parcels post.

On the other hand, the ordinary expen- \ditures of the government for the same ten months have decreased about $2,— 000,000. The deficit for the ten months is $16,700,000, against a deficit in the previous vear of $69,226,000.
