Dean Stanley had great respect for
presence Of mind, and used with great
delight to tell story Of presence Of
mind by which he liberated himself
from a dangerous visitor. Since he
was willing to see almost any one who
asked for him, he once told his servant
to usher into his study a gentleman
who had called, and who happened to
bear a name which was familiar to
him.
When the gentleman appeared he
proved to be an entire stranger. 1t was
evident there had been some mistake.
This became still more evident when,
advancing with an air Of great excite
ment, the gentleman exclaimed: "Sir,
have q message to the Queen from
che Most High. I beg that you deliver
1t instantly"
I'm that case" said the dean, taking
DIP his hat, there is not a moment to
be lost. Let us go at once" They
went downstairs into the hall, and,
opening the door, the dean requested
his visitor to step out. No sooner had
he done 30 than the dean shut the door
behind the lunatdc.

FATAL AGE OF THIRTv-sEvEN
Many Of Worlds 0rsatest Men Hav,
kaccuMsb bei at That Arc.

Many Of Worlds Greatest Men Have
succuwsbe1 at That Are.
The age of 81 Is q particularly fata,
age. An examination Of the reports Of
the United States government shows
that more people die at that age than
any other after attaining their ajor-
ity. 1t Is also ascertained that more
misfortunes overtake persons at that
age than at any other time in their
lives. and that few fortunate events be-
fall them.
An examination Of history develops
the same thing. At the age of 81 a
great sorrow befell Aristotle. the death
of Plato. his friend and teacher, with
whom he had studied for nearly twenty
years. This sorrow plainly showed its
effects upon his future life, and to it
may be attributed the sad tone Of his
later writings.
1t was at the age Of 81 that Lord
Byron died Of fever at Greece. As
Lord Beaconsfield says. he was great

loss to the world was q great blow to

1t was at the age of 81, too. that En-
gland lost a military genius that she
regarded as Of the highest rank and
promise. Prince Henry Of Battenburl
