In point of fact the; were an uncom monly younir net of men. Ueorge Wash ington, senior in age an well a in author ity and influence, was but 43 when the Revolution broke out, and 67 when he became first pratident; Thomas Jeffer aon only 33 when he wrote the Declara tion of Inde pondence; ilcnander Hamil ton bat tK! when he became secretary oi the treasury; James Madison only 28 when he was made member of a Vir ginia committee of safety, and 86 when he was Hamilton's great collaborator in the production of that political classic, The Federalist. Nor were the leaders in the great en terprise exceptional in this matter of age. Forty names were signed to the constitution of the United' States on tiie "th of 8eptnber, 1787. ' Leaving out . of account four whose birthdays are not (riven by the books of reference, only five of the remaining thirty-sii had reached the age of 60; twenty of the number were less than 45 years old, and twelve were under 40, among the latter. being one (Hamilton) of 80, another of 29, a third of 28, and a fourth who lacked nome tnonius ox x wnen tne convention ieL The average age of all the mem- mdid not quit reach 45 years. The most important committee to which the instrument was referred for final re vision consisted of five members, four of whom were between 30 and 86 years ol age, the fifth and least prominent being U Century. The Bathi of London. There are as many great baths in Lon don as there are theatre in New York city. They are Turkish, Roman, vapor. electric, swimming, medicated, hot, cold, tepid and salt. The most interesting are the great public baths. Nearly every district of Loudon has one, and often there are public wash houses in connec tion with them. Borne of the older of these baths are dark and more or lees cloomv, but the newer ones are very in viting. Take the Battersea public bath as an example. Its first class tank is 100 feet long by 85 feet wide, with a depth of 6 feet at one end and &i feet at the other. It is lined with white glaxed bricks, roofed with wood and iron and ventilating skylights, and has fifty locked dressing boxes. In the same building there is a second class bath, 75 feet by 25 feet in size. At certain times women use both baths. The water is heated when it is desirable. These baths are distinctly popular. The first class price vanes from a shilling to fourpenct, and the second class from sixpence to two pence, the cheaper baths being those in the more thickly populated parts of the tiry. The wash bouses connected with many of the baths seem to be of very great public benefit-Julian Ralph in Harper s Weekly. ' Secret of Baring- Gat Bill. For several months Brooklyn man has been terrified by the site of his gas bills. He is a family man and enjoys a good income, but he does not tamely submit to swindling and extortion. Be lieving he was being robbed he com plained to the company which supplies him, but it availed him nothing. . Still the bills were presented with un varying regularity, and as the days .shortened and the nights lengthened they became larger. Finally he grew desperate, but was still powerless. At last be found an unexpected ray of hope. It came in the shape of this ad vertisement in a newspaper, printed in big type: "Reduce your gas bills over 75 per cent. Socret free by mail for only fa. Address , Cincinnati, O. Eagerly the oppressed citisen sent on his mont-y and anxiously he awaited the receipt of the secret which he felt would be the means of keeping hundreds of dollars in his pockets. In a few days the -secret came. With trembling hands be tore open the envelope and extracted card. On this he saw in big, black type, "Use kerosene oil." For a -few days the citiaen kept his secret, bat at last hi wife gave it away. New York Herald. Tbirtaaa lean' Work with a Paakntfe. Nichols Levisler has erected in his parlor a wooden model of a large coon- try neidence which he made witn a pen knife. The building measures fonr feet by two, is two stories high, with a French roof and observatory, and has bow windows and porches. A flight of stairs connects the first and second floors, both of which are neatly carpeted, and the walls are covered with paper. The parlor and bedrooms are filled with fur niture, and hare chandulien hong from the ceilings. The model contains nearly "all mod ern conveniences." It stands in a gar den that occupies almost all the parlor floor. On the grounds are gravel walks, with settees, a pomp and trough, an . atnr little structure for courting couples, and a strong watchdog. Mr. Levisler, who la a laborer, has been at work on the model for thirteen years, doing small parts at night when he returned from AM LNKMY RAFFLKI).
