Together In Death, as in Life.
Thirty years ago in an Edinburgh
school there were three pupils who
were so intimate and inseparable
companions that they were designated
Faith, Hope and Charity. After leav.
ing school they continued as warmly
attached as ever. Indeed, the con-
slant appearance of the trio together
"at kirk and market" became a stand
ing Joke. BY and by they married
within short intervals Of each other.
They had each three children and the
families grew up together in close
friendship. Some three years ago one
of the three died suddenly and short.
ly afterward, with equal suddenness,
another passed away. A few months
later the third died after two or three
days illness. Thus within one short
year, In the prime of life, the three
who on earth had been all but insep'
arabic. passed away.

Man at His Best.

At what age is a man 1t his best
and most likely to achieve his life
work? The Rev. F. B. Meyer once
put the age at 46. That seemed late
to q critic. but DR.. Leonard Guthrie
at the Royal College Of Physicians
supported this statement. He quoted
Jastre's table dealing with specially
precocious people, which showed that
the average age at which great ar
lists did their first work was 1873;
their first great work, %: their great
est work. 46.7; and that the average
age at death was COL. For poets the
figures in the same order YER 1876,
27.S, 1873 and 61.6; for philosophers,
17.6, 32.1, ATT and 66.3. Here is
comfort for those who think Of mid
die life as nat prose.

quiry is made manifest BY the prepar-
alton that he is making. He also ap-
prehends no little difficulty in recon
Cling the conflicting interests which
are always involved in tariff changes.
Already the eastern manufacturers
are making known their demands for
rec raw material, while the western
producers are beginning to stand out
stiffly for the protection of such ar
ticles as wool, hides, and ores.
The Senate Finance committee has
no purpose Of trying to rob the SEN
ate committee on Ways and Means of
its prerogative OF originating tariff
legislation, but is simply preparing it
self for the intelligent consideration
Of the subject, as the house bills reach
the senate. 1t is understood that
members of the house committee are
making preparation for the proposed
legislation though none of them have
come to Washington for that purpose
1t is believed that by taking up the
work at this early date, much time
can be saved and that the special ses-
sion which is to be called after the
fourth Of March, the tariff legislation
will be materially shortened. Senator
Hopkins expressed the opinion that a
long session for that purpose would
not be necessary

While in Washington recently at
tending the meeting of the Burrows
committee, Senator Hopkins stated
hat he would not call his organization
together until some time during the
Fall. In the meantime, however he
will ask the departments Of State, Ag-
.riculture and Commerce and Labor, to
procure such information for him as
they can through their representatives
abroad with view to supply the com
mittee the best information possible
in conducting its comparisons, When
the committee meets it will immed-

on labor, but upon the various indus
tries Of the country and will undertake
to decide, insofar as it can, what
changes in the tariff are desirable from
