YOUNG OLD MEN.
Septuagenarian Who Led in Art,
Literature, Politics and Finance.

Literature, Politics and Finance.
From Leslie's Weekly
Much has been said during the past few
years about the Importance of young men
as leaders in finance, industry and politics,
only young men were fitted to do the great
work of the world in these progressive days.
But when we take look around at the
men who are actually in the lead today in
literature. science, politics, religion and
business we find much to disprove this idea
that old age is a sign of weakness and in
efficiency.
In our own strenuous land we have such
men as Edward Everett Hale Theodore
Cuyler and Russell Sage still at the fore
front in a multitude of activities although
all three of them have left eighty years
behind some time since. In the sphere of
national politics we have such comman dng
figures as Senators Hoar and Hawley, both
of whom must plead guilty to the age of
seventy-six. while the two illustrious sena-
tors from Maine, Messrs. Hale and Frye
are both men of many years, the first
named being siXty-six and the other seven
ty-one. Our present Secretary of State,
Mr.. Hay, is far from being youthful per-
son, having sixty-four years to his credit,
while Secretary Wilson is older than that
by three years, and Postmaster General
Payne is nearly sixty. Whitelaw Reid of
the Tribune is sixty-fve, and Drs James NJ.
Buckley and Lyman Abbott, the veteran
religious journalists, are over sixty-six.
If we turn our gaze abroad we find equal
ly strong testimony. It is STR John Arid,
verging on seventy, who has built the great
Nile dam. 1t is Lord Masham, verging on
ninety, who has just appealed to the Eng
lish government to overhaul the fiscal sys-
tenn. Henry Labouchere, "Labby," the
brilliant editor of Truth, is man of seven
ty. The keenest debater in the house of
commons is still Sir William Harcourt. In
active opposition at seventy four Mr..
John Morley is sixty-three, and Joseph
Chamberlain is only four years off seventy.
Francis Joseph of Austria was seventy-two
last August, Oscar of Sweden is seventy
three, Leopold of Belgium is sixty-se
and King Christian of Denmark is eighty
four. The worlds foreign relations are in
the hands Of men over sixty and seventy.
Lord Currie is sixty-eight, Sir Edmund
Monsoon Is sixty-seven, Sir Charles Scott
sixty-four and Sir Frank Lasceiles sixty.
Lord Cromer, young enough to make an
other Egypt, is sixty also, and at the other
end of Africa a man Of seventy reigns as
prime minister of the Cape.

The Turkish Woman's Holiday.
ndon Telegraph

From the London Ielegrdph.
Friday is the only day on which Turkish
women enjoy little liberty and release
from the dreadful seclusion in which they
are always kept, and they are not slow to
avail themselves Of the chance. On Fridays
every one goes to the Sweet Waters Of Asia,
which consist of a small river running
about two miles inland with trees and
meadows on each side. Hundreds of boats
assemble. and glide up and down the river.
Every boat or caique has two or more
Turkish ladies on board. The sight is a
very fine one, as each private caique is
most carefully got up, and the boatmen
wear brilliant liyeries to match the cush-
ions and the long embroidered cloth which
hangs over the stern and trails in the wa
ter. The Khedivah of Egypts is one of the
finest in crimson and gold, embroidered
with crowns and fishes. Besides the live
ries the parasols make a wonderful show,
and here may be seen all the latest Paris
ian creations. The ladies must not speak to
men, but the careful observer can frequent
ly catch sight OF wells lowered or other sig
nal given when "a particular boat Is pass
Ing, and habitual frequenters can point out
boats which are sometimes close to each
other 1t is a very innocent diversion and
would not satisfy western ladies' An hour
before sunset tine police boats appear and
force all women to leave.

An Epidemic Of Prodigality.
Philadelphia Inquirer

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t seems to cost great deal to live nova
days. Most persons notice it, especially
persons who are hard put to 1t to find the
money to pay their bills. The statisticians
report that commodities in general use
cost on an average about 10 per cent more
than they did last year. The rise In the
price Of meat contributes a good deal to
this advance, though breadstuffs have
been high too. Articles of luxury, like good
clothes and country houses, have grown
dearer in proportion than most articles of
necessity because the huge influx of money
that the country has sustained has made a
brisk market for luxuries. Rents are high
err houses cost more servants get higher
wages board is higher at resort hotels
The living expenses of any given family
are very much affected by the expenses of
other families of their acquaintance, and
the scale of living of "other families
seems just now to have become incon-
veniently liberal. Productivity is spt con-
spicuously prevalent that it has become
more OF less epidemic.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE.
Most of Them Are Constant Travellers
Except in Breeding Season.


Except in Breeding Season.
From the Kew York Independent.
A bird of passage is a bird-generally in
fock-on the way north or south. This
passage really covers most of the spring
and summer. There is hardly a week from
March to November when fiocks of birds
are not moving from station to station
Robins go south from northern parts as
early as August THAT is, they start from
their nesting grounds-but they move very
deliberately across the country Orioles
close up housekeeping early in August and
they spend a month in fitting about the
country, in a happy-go-lucky sort of a way.
Interesting as birds are during their brief
nesting season, they are more interesting
during their travels. Their sojourn any
where Is very brief. The nearest to COM
plete domestication is found in the case of
the catbrd When treated well and famil
iarly he comes north about the LIST of May
and does not leave us till some time in Oc-
tober He Is not all this while nesting or
singing. but he is in the bushes ready for a
plea SAINT chat with you If you have proved
yourself a companionable friend. Robins
are very irregular about coming or going,
and some of them are sure to be left be-
hind all winter. Most of the birds are gre
garious when travelling; probably for the
sake of safety. A flock of very peaceful
birds is compelled to add the additional pro-
lection of travelling by night. BY day they
generally are resting or feeding In some
pleasant locality. In the spring they al
WAYS are heard first in the early morning
in the autumn their goodbye is heard at
the approach of evening. All night they are
on the wing.
1t is a mistake to suppose that any OF
our birds care for home as a residence.
They only stay In one spot long enough
for a single purpose; either for rearing
young, or to collect food, OF to escape cold
fellows hat
on US in the early morning to dine from
our mountain ash trees in August or Sep
TENDER are cosmopolitans Some varieties
of birds will abound in a section one year
and be very scarce the next. This is mark
eddy true of grosbeaks and orioles. During
1902 the orioles have been mostly birds of
passage, nesting probably further north
but appearing in large numbers as birds
Of passage--eating plums and grapes, and
spelling what they could not eat. saucy
firt and handsome marauder. the oriole
can do more mischief in a week Of travel
ing than asfiock of birds that are residents.
