THE AGE OF ThlRTY-SEvEN.
1t Has Been Fatal to Many OF the
Worlds Greatest Men.


The age of 81 is a particularly fatal
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 majority. 1t
is also ascertained that more misfortuncs
overtake persons at that age than at any
other time in their lives and that few
fortunate events befall them.
An examination of history develops the
same thing At the age of 81 great
sorrow befell Aristotle, the death of Pla-
to, his friend and teacher, with whom he
had studied for nearly 20 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 By
ron died of fever in Greece. AS Lord
Beaconsfeld says, he was greater as a
man than as writer, and his loss to the
world was great blow to it.
Raphael, the glory of Italian art. died
at 81. He fell sick week before his
birthday of cold and fever and died On
that day, Good Friday. In him the world
lost one of its greatest artists.
In music, like art and poetry, England
lost her greatest composer at the age of
81. Purcell. the most distinguished mu-
s:cian Britain produced, died within a
few days after attaining his thirty-sev-
cnth year. The regard in which he was
held in England placed him on par
with Milton in epic poetry, with Shakes
peare on the stage, Locke in metaphys-
les and Sir Isaac Newton in philosophy
and mathematics.
1t was at the age of 81, too, that Eng
land lost military genius that she re-
garded as of the highest rank and prom
Use. Prince Henry of Battenberg died of
fever in Ashanti in that year of his life.
Pascal. too. died at 81, but why seek
more Illustrations? These are sufficient
to illustrate the fatality of the age among
geniuses. Where death failed misfortune
often befell.
So the age of 81 may be regarded as
the fatal age of all those after a man
passes his majority.-Chicago Times
Herald.

Why is it? Take an ordinary college
professor, especially one who has gradu-
ated within Is years, and even remotely
express an opinion upon his pedagogical
speciality, and he will stare at you in
way that fully expresses his contempt for
men who rush in with views on matters
concerning which they are presumed to
know little. And yet the country is full
of college professors whose ''sheepskin"
still has fresh smell who will anhesi-
tatingly, in the papers through the maya
zines and on the platform, yentilate their
opinions upon the most intricate prob
lens in government. politics, finance,
trade. transportation, religion, foreign re-
lations, municipal control, gas, water,
street railways, telephones, trusts, and
they do this with the air of men who be-
lieve that what they think or say settles
those problems in the only way honor.

forward and tried to hold the baker with
his sharp glance
But the honest Teuton had gone all to
pieces again. He slipped back in the
seat. Beads of perspiration were burst
ing from his forehead, and his long. thin
hands clutched the arms of the chair.
He muttered something in German under
his breath, and his little eyes stared va

The baker writhed in his chair.

hoarsely murmured. Then he family

The boy. stolid as ever. made no reply.
He stepped quickly from the room. fol-

moist baker.

"No. sir. Going with Mr.. Finkelstein."
"Eh! Finkelstein? Why, that's the

The boy nodded.

"But how does it happen that you are

One of the deadliest snakes in India is
