HE COLLECTED GIANTS.


OF all the manias that afflict man.
kind the most ancient and curious is
probably the mania for collecting The
victims of this craze collect pretty
nearly everything from books to shoe
buckles and from pots to pOsta &c
stamps. but so far as we know. the only
person who has made giant collecting

AGE AND ACHIEVEMENT.

Some few years ago, about the time
Dr. Osler established his fame in dis
cussing the age limit for men, il was
the popular thing TO lay stress on the
achievements of youth. In finance. in
commerce. in railroad operation, in al
most every line of conspicuous activity
the popular mode was the eulogy of
youth and depreciation of age as a fac
tor in great undertakings.
Simultaneously with the collapse of
last fall and the immediate assumption
Of command in the money market by
the older and more conservative leaders
of affairs, came a reaction. The news
paper and magazine writer's discovered
that a good many men past the Osler
limit were the main dependence of the
nation in a great crisis They discov-
cred. too. that while some young men
had established remarkable records in
great enterprises. the final responsible
ity, the direct command is usually with
such experience as is usually limited 10
the older men. They began 10 recall
Gladstone, guiding an empire, Van
Moltke planning a marvellous campaign
at so, Bismarck at more than that age
dominating the diplomacy Of Europe.
A recent article Celebrates on this
discovery and recalls Mark Twain's lit

Weir Mitchells distinguished profess
sional and literary service crowned by

orous now. though over 20; Pierpont
Morgan. Andrew Carnegie, Darwin.
Herbert Spencer. Richard Wagner.
John Fiske, the historian. and a host of
others whose greatest work was done
after they had reached so.
Professor Nathan Shaler, comment
ing on his study of longevity, says that
the examples cited as wen as all the
statistics available, show that while
youth may achieve extraordinary re-
suits, particularly where physical ca
pacity is important. the great and per-
manent achievements of the world are
largely due TO men who have passed
middle life and have profited by the re-
Election and experience which is posi-
bic only TO the men of the older gener-
atoms

THE ATTACK ON DREYFUs.

Major Alfred Dreyfus of the French
army may count himself lu,-Sy that he
is not lying dead ar his home in Paris
as the result of an assas~m's bullet.
The man who tried TO kill him stood
20 close that the failure 10 complete
his work was little short If prOviIen-
tiaL The character OF the intending
assassin makes the attack on Dreyfus
most remarkable. The man who fired
the shots was no ordinary criminal.
He was Louis Anthene Gregoris. a
writer OF repUte on military topics and
a man highly thought Of in the circles
in which he moved. He says he fired
on Dreyfus by way of protest against
the participation by the army in a
tribute 10 the memory Of lola.
II seems most significant, though.
that Gregoris deliberately waited until
he could get a close shot at Drey-
fus. There were plenty Of other army
men around Why did he single Drey-
fus out Of all Of them IL a mere dem
Onstration OF protest was his purpose?
II that was really his notion. any other
officer would have answered equally as
well as Dreyfus. The real truth IN
doubtedly is that the grudge was
against Dreyfus himself 1t Is almost
impossible TO get away from it,
Dreyfus has never been forgiven by
large percentage Of the French people
for managing TO clear himself. through
Zola's aid. of the UNANIMOUSLY unjust
charges against him. No man in our
time has been more obviously the vie

THE FOLLY OF sTRENUosITY.

The dispatches two or three days age
Welt, on Tuesday. narrowly escaped Sc
rious injury by sheer good fortune. The
president was astride a high spirited
horse which he had taken out of the
hands of an experienced trainer so that
he might bust the animal himself.
The result was that the president and
the horse went into the drink
The incident is only another evidence
of the strenuosity of Mr.. Roosevelt. He
is fond Of doing the spectacular-very,
very fond of il. His exploits in the
spotlight are. many of them, weird and
startling. He is the original sensation
grotesque.
But there is a serious side TO this
creek-jumping. submarine-diving busi-
ness on the part Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Whatever Mr.. Roosevelt may do as an
individual in private life would be Of
small moment TO the people in general.
He might jump a creek if il suited him
so TO do; frogs do it. But il remains
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the president Of
the United States. He was elected by
the people TO give them his services as
the chief magistrate of the world 5
greatest nation. For the tenure of his
Office he belongs TO the people. He is
the head of the most wonderful power
ia the galaxy, He has no business con-
stantly 10 endanger' his life by fool
hardy acts. He had no call to go down
in a submarine boat: he had no call
much to go to sea and TO Panama; lie
was unwarranted in locking himself in
the Yellowstone park. away from civ
ilization; neither was he justified in
challenging death in the swamps of
Mississippi and Louisiana.
No one will deny the president the
right 10 take exercise; indeed. it is es-
sential that he should do so: but there
is duty which he owes the people.
and that duty is that he shall not for
ever and eternally be trying to break
his neck.
If the president were killed in one Of
his death-defying stunts" the whole
economy of the government would be
overturned and there would be chaos
for months. The country would suffer
the consequences of uncertainty, and
they are many. There would be a sud
den halt TO all business and a partial
paralysis Of industry. This does not
any man who. may happen to be presi-
dent of the United States. The loss of
Mir. Roosevelt, il plain citizen. would
be distressing and a source of sinceI q
president would be a calamity, indeed
