One Advantage in Old Age.

Prof Jow tt, the great master of
Balliol college, commenting on the
crucial topic Of growing old, wrote to
friend: The later years of life ap-
near to me- from certain point Of
view, to be the best. They are less
disturbed by care and the world: we
begin to understand that things really
never did matter SO much as We sup
posed, and we are able to see them
more in their true proportion instead
of being overwhelmed by them. We
are more resigned to the will of God,
neither afraid to depart nor over-anx-
.ous to stay. We cannot see into an
other life. but we believe with an in
extinguishable hope that there is
something still reserved for US"

Prince NAV Become a Free Mason.

In Maso4 ircles in London there
is a revival Of the rumor that the
Prince of Wales will shortly be ini-
tiated into the mysteries and privi-
leges of Free Masonry 1t is we'll
known that for years the king. who is
now protector of English Free Ma
sonry. and the Duke of Connaught.
who succeeded his majesty as grand
master, have been desirous that the
prince should become a Free and Ac-
cepted Mason, but his royal highness,
while most cordially agreeing with the
established principles of the craft, has
for purely personal reasons preferred
to postpone admittance to the frater-
Dity.

LAID THE BLAME ON TIE GOD PAN.
Ancient Greeks Had Ingenious Ixplana-
tion for Fear.


We use the word panic, or panic fear,
for needless or ill-grourdcd fright.
What Marshal SAKE terms le occur hu-
main, is no other than fear occasioned
by surprise 1t is owing to that cause
that an ambush is generally so de-
structive; intelligence of it beforehand
renders it harmless. The following
curious relation speaks Of the origin
of the term.
1T sometimes happens with the an
cicnt Greeks, we'll disciplined and COM
monty brave as their armies are, that
a body of troops, without any attack
being made or threatened, would take
upon them to dispe}se and fly tor
their lives. leaving their camps and
baggage throwing away their arms,
running over hill and dale for days
and nishts, till ther legs and their
fright wofe aut together.
