hunter, meantime, worked his way

stopped, and was looking around for

without endangering the dogs, when,

The inaocuracy OF women with regard
their age is the subject of some Curious
testimony by a French president of as
size The only instance IN which he
finds correct dates given by women Is
when they are under IS or over 81. at
these periods of life, he says, they are
to be trusted. At all other periods the
sure controlling tendency is to under
state. The magistrate has been able to
give rule for guidance He finds that
female prisoners invariably state their
ages at 90, 50, 20, SO, and from this re-
marketable circumstance he deduces his
rule If their ages are in the forties
they boldly set them down in the thir-
ties. but, conscience asserting itself,
they keep as near the truth as they can
and fix them at 50.
