CHINESE SEVEN AGES.
Unknown Philosopher Pictures the
Course of the Life of Man.

Course of the Life of Man.
A French officer, Louis de Chantilly,
tells in Paris Gil Bias, of his discovery
in a Buddhist convent in the mountains
of Tonkin, of a dusty manuscript con-
tanning the Chinese version of the sew
en- ages of man.
AT 10 years Old" says the writer,
whose name has long been forgotten,
the boy has a heart and a brain as
soft as the tende shoots Of a young
bamboo AT 20 he is like a green BAN
ana; he is just beginning to ripen in
warm rays Of common sense.
Thirty years see him developed in
to a buffalo. He is strong and lusty,
full of bodily and mental vigor. This
is the true age of love; the age for
him to marry at.
AT 40 years the PROSPEROUS man has
grown to be a mandarin and wear a
coral button. But it would be truly
indiscreet to confide to him at this
early age any functions calling for jul
dicial intelligence or calm.
When he reaches so years, however,
although he has grown stout and fieshy,
he Is fit to hold any municipal or state
office; he a administer a city or a
province or perform any official duty.
But at GO years he is old. Handi-
crafts and all active bodily activities
are beyond him. He gives his depen-
dents and clients advice. That is all
he is fit for.
He has only one care; to husband the
breath Of life that is left to him, to
preserve 1t, even by artificial means.
His sons must assume the care of his
estate and the performance of his
duties"

people of the Island until recently, hut
now they have been dismantlcd owing
10 the CuTG;"titiUn OF larger and better

The sea enters the land at four
points where the coast is practically
on a level with the salt water surface.

disappears In the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
