Seven Ages OF the Chinese.

A French officer, Louis De Chantilly,
tells of his discovery in Buddhist
convent In the mountains of Tonkin Of
dusty manuscript containing the
Chinese version of the seven ages of
man.
"At ten years old" says the writer,
whose name has long been forgotten,
"the boy has a heart and brain as
soft as the tender shoots of young
bamboo. At 20 he is like a green
banana; he is just beginning to ripen
in warm rays of common sense.
Thirty years sees him developed
into buffalo. He is strong and lusty,
full Of bodily and mental vigor. This
is the true age Of love; It is the age
for him to marry at.
"At 40 years the prosperous man has
grown to be q mandarin and wears a
coral button. But 1t would be truly
indiscreet to confine to him at this
early age any functions calling for ju.
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 can administer q
city or province or perform any offi.
cial duty.
"But at 60 years he is old. Handi:
craft and all active bodily activities
are beyond him. He gives his de-
pendents and clients advice. That is
all he 10 At for.
AT 70 he Is just dry straw. He
has only one care-to husband the
breath of life that is left in him, to
preserve 1t, even by artificial means.
His sons must assume the care of his
estate and the performance of his du-
ties"

their duties.
Since accepting the position a few
months ago Warden Speaks has over
hauled his force considerably. and
many Of the old deputies severed their
connection with the department. How
ever. their places have been filled by
such material as Gen. Speaks believes
will carry out the duties OF ONCE with

"MARlA THiNCUMAJi6."
Foreign Names Bothered Americans
In the OIden Days.

international marriages are, in these
days of travel, more common than they
used to be; but they were not un-
known to our ancestors of a century
ago, and were least rare, It seems, in
some OF the old seafaring families.
Old-time sea captains made friends In
many lands, and were occasionally ac-
companied on board by some adven-
turous daughter, eager, like Lord
Bateman of the ballad, "far countries
for to see." One such, who travelled
as far as Russia, did not return; she
remained there as the wife Of pros
porous Russian merchant.
Her fathers fellow.townsmen were
naturally interested to hear all about
the match on his return, says the
Youths Companion, but there was one
important piece of information they
never obtained; the brides married
name.
1t was SO unpronouncable that the
good captain declined even to attempt
1t. He always spoke of his daugh-
ter as my gal who married a fur
riner;" his mother called her my
grandfather over In Rooshy," and
everybody else fell into the way of
saying simply-and not at all jocular-
ly: Maria Thingumajig."
Another old sea captain had two
charming girls who accompanied him
to France, both of whom married
Frenchmen. French is a less difiicult
tongue than Russian. but the old mans
ear was not good, and the two brides,
on their first visit home, were some-
what chagrined at the havoc he made
with their names.
They had become Nine. Carette and
Nine. LIE Beutillier; but he intro
duced them cheerfully to strangers as
Mrs. Lee Bottles and Mrs. Carrots.
They gently demonstrated against such
a perversion of their names. but in
vain he could achieve nothing better
until compromise was reached, In ac-
cordance with which he ceased to try
to pronounce them at all.
Therefore when an introduction be-
came necessary. he presented "ldy
darter. Mrs. Nancy b." or my dar-
ter. Mrs. Polly c." adding, genially,
"and II ye want the full of her name
in French. she'll tell ye on askin'.
She speaks the language"
