DOES NOT COME WITH AGE.
Wisdom h Not AlwAyS One ot the AeOOmDanimsnAs of
 Years.

A medical man has discovered that neither in youth nor old age is . man likely to make the biggest fool of him. self, remarks the New York Press. Extreme youth usually is consid- cred not to have arrived at the dignity of years of discretion, yet a homely proverb would have us believe that there is no fool like an old fool" This medical observer has preached the theory that there is an "aberration period ot middle fife" between the ages of 57 and 62. If" he says, "a careful examination be made of the preventable disasters of the last 20 years and of the ages of those who were held responsible by the verdict of mankind for such lsmentable issues there will be found strange coinci- delce in the range of their ages"
 Here is an interesting and practic- ally inexhaustible field for inyestiga- tion. Politicians who are "ag'in' the government" may trace the blunders of an administration to the sinister influence of some boss who was pass ing through the fatal period at the time, and "regrettable incidents" of all kinds, in war or peace, may be traced to their true origin. In time, no doubt, We shall appreciate the ne- cessity of requiring all public men, on entering the fatal period, to take . five years holiday and to resume work only when they have passed the ape of aherra tion

PAYING DUTY IN KIND.
One Case Where ThieVinR Turk Was Bitten-How Justice Ia
 Meted Out.

The rapacity of Turkish officials of all sorts is notorious, but that of the customs officers exceeds all ot her kinds An interesting instance of paying duty in kind is to be recorded An official of the British embassy bought in Paris d dress for his wife. for which he paid ( 10. The customs official valued it at eco and demanded duty on that amount The Englishman protested, and, knowing the law, said they might keep the dress, paying him the value they had fixed upon it, less the eight per cent. This was done, and d month later at the public action of confiscated. eG, thus getting the dress for noth- ing and making profit of e39 As on the bargain.
 Justice is meted out rapidly in Tur- key. On one occasion, a Kurd picked up a tobacco box in the street, which was promptly claimed by an Armenian. Just as they were coming to bows q policeman interfered. Both Arme. nian and Kurd claimed the box, when the former suggested that the Kurd should say what was in it. Tobacco and cigarette paper promptly an swered the Kurd. Nothing of the sort, cried the Armenian. Ut contains only d five piastre piece" The box was graVely opened by the policeman. who then said: The Armenian is right and the Kurd is liar" Here he smote the Kurd's head. Furthermore, AL ah be praised!-f my trouble in de eialng this complicated case l keep the five piastres."
