No Need of Being Old Before
Seventy.

Some old persons are apparently as
capable as ever, but this is only in GER
tain lines where they have the advanl
tage of earlier habits and all previous
accumulations. Their versatility, their
power to turn effectly in other direct
ions, to train themselves to new intel
lectual habits, is far from what it once
was.
1t is often the case, and sometimes it
is source of trouble, that an old man
does not perceive his intellectual
shrinkage as clearly as others see it
But there is no dead line at fifty, even
for the minister. No man who takes
care of himself begins to be old before
he is seventy.-Youth's Companion.

The late sultan of Turkey, Abdul Aziz,
was, if not absolutely mad, sufficiently
eccentric to cause constant trouble not
only among his own ministers, but also
where the foreign ambassadors were con-
cerned. One of the ambassadors, however,
General Ignatieff, of Russia, was sufficient
ly clever to outwit him and introduce the
business of nations under the guise of per.
sonal pleasure.
At one time the sultan absolutely refused
to grant an audience to any member of the
diplomatic body, and spent the greater part
of his time in cock fighting, an amusement
which he greatly relshed
Ignatieff learned that his imperial males
ty was in need Of fresh birds to supply the
place of those killed in fight.
Thereupon Ignatieff procured fine look
ing white fowl Of the barnyard species, had
1t trimmed and spurred to resemble game
cock, and sent it in richly decorated cage
to the sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the sultan.
at first delighted with the gift, soon sent
for the ambassador to present himself at
the palace and explain, if he could, why the
bird had no inclination to fight. Ignatieff
went, examined the bird in the presence of
the sultan and, with great astonishment
and regret, acknowledged that it was quite
unable to cope with the royal game cocks,
which were of an undoubtedly superior
race
A conference followed on the subject of
game cocks in general and this one in par
ticular, and when the diplomatist had sue.
cceded in drawing the sultan into CONVEX
sational mood, he adroitly introduced the
political matter he had SO long awaited an
opportunity to discuss. After long con-
versation he returned to his embassy
triumphant over his other colleagues
