.Coincident with the news that a sea
captain of so years has just begun a
law course in one Of our universities
comes the announcement Of a Wiscon-
sin grandmother, aged 20, who has en-
tered Ohio State university for the
the regular collegiate course, with spe-
cial attention to literature and psy-
chology, coupled with the disclosure of
a planned course of study that shall
occupy her until her ninetieth birth
day. These two cases demonstrate for
both sexes the fitness Of the old say
ing newly applied that it is never
too late to learn.
All of us recall the regularity with
which men and women used to subside
to their chimney corners when they
became grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers. This seems to be no longer the
rule, but instead the people have en-
tered upon an era Of sprightliness ac-
celebrating with the advent of years
and the l~essening of responsibilities.

the household was wont of old to
adopt the cap and assume the manners
of demure seclusion. Nowadays who
can tell by costume or manner the vi
vacious mother from the engaging
daughter?
Since DR.. Osler's theory of the early
termination of a mans usefulness
startled us for the moment, we have
recovered our poise and have come to
realize anew that a mans or a
woman's best years, if not of useful
ness, at least of enjoyment, may come
after age las mellowed and cares have
scared ones fibers. People look for
ward to maturer age now more as a
period of full service and golden rec
reation. With differing tastes this
may take varied forms, but whether 1t
means a return to studies from which
the duties of life had diverted atten-
ton or the adventure of travel or the
joy of ~sociability or activity in home
and reighborhood, 1t is evident that
modern old age has a sprightliness
that formerly did not obtain.

Great Cities of the World.

AS a barometer of commercial ac-
tivity the population of New York has
long afforded an interesting study and
the estimates compiled for 1909 are
peculiarly illuminating. Thomas W.
Hotehkiss offers the figures in detail
in an article in the Independent to sus-
tain the argument Of the Association
of New York, a recently organized
boosters club, that the metropolis is
worthy Of something better than the
indiscriminate abuse heaped upon It
because Of municipal politics. But his
statistics are a subject for national ap-
plause as we'll, manifesting as they do
a remarkable growth In comparison
with the metropolitan cities abroad.
Based on data from various con-
sentative sources, Mr.. Hotchkiss esti-
mates the present population Of New
York at 4,564,792. against London's
7,452,9S6. He credits Paris with
2~,792,9Ss and Chicago with 2,224,-
400, with Berlin and Vienna slightly
under Chicago. With this comparison
he is able to present the astonishing
showing that New York has actually
outstripped it's greatest rival in its'rate
Of increase. Year by year New York
is gaining 125,2s7 inhabitants, while
London's annual increase is only 1O9.-
O46. Paris is almost at a standstIl,
with less than 10000 annual gain In
population. Chicago, with a yearly in
crease Of 5s.435. is slightly leading
Vienna and almost doubling Berlin's
a~ecretion. Chicago's growth is mar
%velous, but New York's has ven vaster
national significance. for New York is
the whole United States. AS the cen

MAMMOTH LOGS FOR
 A CHINESE TEMPLE
A Notable Shipment Shortly to Be
 Made From Portland, Oregon.


 Portland. Ore. Sept. "A remark able shipment of mammoth logs is now being loaded here for China. where the big sticks will be used to rebuild the Temple Ling rem the most famous house of worship in all China. The logs are being loaded on the steamship Emma $. Dollar, the Chinese government having purchased them here after searching the whole world for the biggest possible trees.
 The logs are Oregon fir 105 feet long and 40 feet in circumference at the butt. They are loaded on the main deck of the steamship and the bark is left on so they will not chafe. When they reach China the bark will be peeled off They will be lowed up the grand canal 200 miles into the in terior and then carried overland six miles to the temple. where they will be set up.
 The only possible way to get them this six miles is for coolies to carry them. There are twenty-four of these huge logs. each weighing a tre mendous amount. It seems impossi- ble for any number of ~i icoOlies to transport the timbers in this way, but the fact is vouched for by Rodert Dol lar. head of the Dollar steamship lines Of san Francisco. zS,.T
