THE MASTERPIECE.
II Is Produced on the Average at the
Age of Fifty.

IL IS TToouCeu OF the average at the
Age of Fifty.
The "summum bonum" of n mans
life-who shall say when or what it Is
in any given case? 1t becomes almost
n work of supererogation to attempt to
designate any single act or perform
ance as the one most valuable in II
mans career. Reduced to the ulti-
mate. 1T becomes, after all, only the
expression OF an individual opinion,
save in those striking instances in
which by general consent n certain
achievement is recognized as the mans
greatest work. No one would deny
that In paradise Lost" Milton attained
the highest expression Of his mentality,
that Wellington achieved his greatest
fame when he won the field Of Water
loo, that Bacon's "Novum Organum" is
his greatest accomplishment and that
Don QuiXoto' exceeds anything else
that Cervantes ever did. In other life
records one act may appear equal to
another at different stages In the mans
development, or to one observer the in
fuence of n deed may far outweigh
that Of another, and contrariwisc. This
difficulty has been exceedingly hard to
overcome and without any attempt at
dogmatism. but with the earnest desire
to ascertain the truth as far as may
be possible, has the decision been made
in the d%isputable records.
Having been arranged In this man
ner, the records give an average age
Of fifty for the performance Of the
mn for NynpI UNpY tho r,o,l.a,,, A. 49,,
erage & is f~orty-seven and for the
thinkers fifty-two. Chemists and physi-
cists average the youngest AT forty-one;
drnmatists and playwrights, poets and
inventors follow Mt forty-four; novel
lists give an average of forty-siX, ex.
plorers and warriors forty-seven, mu-
steal composers and actors forty-eight,
artists and divines occupy the position
of equilibrium at fifty, essayiBts and
reformers stand at fFty-one, physicians
and surgeons line up with the states
men at ffty-two, philosophers give an
average of ffty-four, astronomers and
mathematicians, satlrists and humor-
lists reach ffty-six, historians fifty
seven and naturalists and turists fifty
eight. AS may be noted. there is a re.
arrangement Of the order at this time,
but the thinkers, as before and as
would naturally be expected, attain
their full maturity at q later period
than the workers.
The corollary is evident. Provided
health and optimism remain, the man
of fifty can command success as read
lily as the man of thirty. Health plus
optimism read the secret Of success;

Why Toast Is Popular.

The increasing popularity Of toast,
says the London Lancet, is a somewhat
interesting fact In that 1t possibly indl-
Gates that, after all, the public resents
the insipidity Of modern bread. Roller
milling as o practiced, which is alto
gcther different from the old method
OF grinding wheat between stones,
leads to the elimination Of the germ Of
the wheat. The peculiar nutty flavor
Of the old fashioned loaf was due per.
haps to the retention of this germ.

In the RIGHT Direction.

Bishop Bloomfield was one of the
many witty Englishmen whose good
things have found their way into n
volume of "reminiscences, Leaves
From the Notebooks of Lady Dorothy
Ncyill."
Bishop Bloomfield was led into n con-
trovcrsy one time with a learned nan
as to the mental superiority of the
east over the west, and his opponent
as n parting shot said:
"Wcll, at any rate, you can't dispute
that the wise men came from the
cast"
Surely that vas the wisest thing
they could do" retorted the bishop.
