When Men are at their Best.

DIR. Beard states that from an analy-
sis of the lives of a thousand repre-
sentative men in all the great branches
of the human family, he made the
discovery that the golden decade was
between forty and fifty; the brazen
between twenty and thirty; the iron
between fifty and sixty. The super
iorty of youth and middle life over
old age in original work appears all
the greater when we consider the fact
that all the positions of honor and
prestige-professorships and public
stations-are in the hands of the old
Men are not widely known until long
after they have done the work that
gave them their fame. Portraits o.
great men are delusions; statues are
false ! They are taken when mer
have become famous, which. on the
average, Is at least twenty-five years
after they did the work which gave
them their fame. Original work re
quires enthusiasm. If all the origina
work done by men under forty-fvt
was annihilated, they would be reduc
ed to barbarism. Men are at theil
best at that time when enthusiasm
and experience are almost evenly bal
aneed. This period, on the average
is from thirty-eight to forty. After
this the law is that experience increases
but enthusiasm decreases. Of course
there are exceptions. Christian In
teltisency.
