Not Even Growing Aged, De-
clare German Specialists,
Who Urge Sane Sports.

BERLIN. Jan. 1.-The man OF so
was the subject of symposium in the
Tagebiat,. Medical experts, business
men and artists agree that man Of 80
is no Older tnan man Of 80 and in q
number of instances decidedly more
useful
Professor Krause asserts that it is
absurd to describe man Of 80 as even
growing old. only in exceptional cases,
due To special causes, does he reveal
decreased elasticity. D., Krause rec
ommends sane sport as the best insur-
aurc against old age for man of 30.
Dr. Lappman, another eminent spe-
cialist. declares that man Of 80 is Of
highly intellectual. worth, and on ac-
count OF his responsibility, experience
and rational living possesses countless
physical and mental advantages over a
younger man.
Professor Arthur Kamp, president of
the Royal academy, says great artists
OF all times have done their best work
between the ages Of 40 and so.
Or Leon Zeitlin, secretary of the
Berlin Retail Trades association,
blames the Americanization Of Ger
many's commercial life for Increasing
the prejudice against men Of so.

Putting His Logic to the Test

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The old couple were eating their first
meal with their son after his return from
college,"
Tell us, john" said the father what
you learned at college?'
"Oh, lots of things" said the son. as
he recited off his course Of studies
'Then," he concluded, II also studied
logic
Logic" said the old man; what is
that?'
IT'S the art of reasoning" said the
son.
We'll" replied the son. "let me give
you a demonstration. How many chick
ems are on that dish, father?'
Two said the old man.
well" said John, II can prove there
are three" Then he stuck his fork in
one and said: THAT is one, isn't it?"
YES" said the father.
And this is two?' sticking the fork
in the second.
Yes" replied the father again.
"Well, don't one and two make three?"
replied John triumphantly.
well, l declare" said the father you
have learned things at college. Well
mother" continued the old man to his
wife, II will give you one of the chick
ems to eat and I'll take the second and
John can have the third"

London Streets Not Beautiful

There are few more depressing sights on
dark, gray day than the view of a
London street from a point of vantage
which permits the full drabness of the
scene to soak in thoroughly. Grant that
London architecture is of the highly
mixed and not necessarily cheerful order,
grant that the London atmosphere can
be anything but enlivening, and that
even without actual fog it has the gift OF
bringing before the minds eye all the
futility of the past, the hopelessness of
the future, and the visage of the income
tax collector, still in spite of all these
things, is there any reason why the hu-
mans who infect the scene should add to
its sheer misery by dressing like col
lection of black beetles?
Goodness alone knows why we do it, and
have done it for so long. There was an
age when men were not afraid of bold
splash of color, when thought was freer
in sartorial matters, and when a cravat
frilled shirt front delicate. foaming affair
which deserved and received a lifetime's
devotion to her art from the laundress.
Blues, greens, mauves, clarets, dove
grays, crimsons. all played their proper
part in mans life and who in the
world tore him away. from these color
schemes his heart delighted in, and why
in the world he was fool enough to permit
himself to be torn away are interesting
points which the future historian of the
Victorian era should consider deeply and
afford their due weight as indicative of
something or other in which the same
era was a miserable and gloomy failure.

Extraordinary Suit Discussed

What the judge who tried the case de-
scribed as the most extraordinary suit
ever heard In an Indian court of law
has just been concluded in the Madras
high court. The claimant was a lady
who claimed to be the widow of a rich
Turkish merchant who died in Madras
about seven years ago. by name Hail
Mahdi Baghdadi. Mahdi left a will be-
slowing the whole of his great fortune
in charity, and the estate was taken over
by the Turkish consul, with the intention
of carrying out the wishes of the de-
ceased. Before the prolonged legal pro-
ceedings necessary for doing so could
be completed, however the consuTs pos
session was disturbed by the arrival of a
man from Bagdad, who claimed to be
the brother of the heir of Mahdi and in
order to avoid further litigation the con-
sui made a compromise by which the new
conner received two-thrds of the estate,
the rest to go in charity as directed by
the will.
All that took place three years ago.
Now, however there comes on the scene
this mysterious lady. Her story in court
was that she had left her husband In or
der to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and
incidentally to see her sick mother at
Jeddah She and her mother left Jeddah
together to go to Mecca, but when they
had gone only 10 miles the mother died
and the plaintiff herself fell i'll. Giving
up the idea of going to Mecca, she re-
turned to Bombay. where she lived for
two years with her brother, without hear
ns from her husband at all. Then, hear
ing of her husbands death she came to
Madras and filed the present suit.
In accordance with the Mohammedai II
custom the lady was borne into court
in a closed palanquin The defendant
urged that she was mere impostor, that
Mahdi never had a wife, and that the
whole story was a concoctio1 from be-
ginning to end. Moreover, counsel for the
defence averred that he knew who was
in the palanquin, and could produce wit
nesses to prove who she was. According
ly two women residing in the town looked
into the palanquin as it stood in the
court room and at once recognized the
occupant as a lady we'll known in the
town.
The e~marriage certificate put in by the
plaintiff was closely examined by Judge
Wallis and declared to be an utter forg-
cry, and the suit was dismissed with the
remark quoted above.

absence of leadership by the churches in

NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN
IN BUSINESS SITUATION

The business forecast for the month
of June just issued by the Birmingham
Trust and Savings company is In part
as follows:
During the latter part of 1912 and
at the beginning of this year, manufac-
turing and mercantile business general
ly was so active that it was with diff
guilty that money was secured to move
the crops. In fact, a considerable por-
ton of last years crops have not yet
been moved as evidenced by the govern
ment's report of grain on farms. 1t
Seemed desirable that some recession in
business take place in order that more
money would be available for crop
handling purposes and for the financing

There has been considerable

against 7469,000 tons at the close of
March, although on the last day of
April, 1912, the untitled tonnage report

These figures are a fair barometer of
the situation with the principal inde-

It has been definitely decided by the
immediate relatives of Princess Indira,
daughter of the Gaekwar of Raroda. that
her marriage to Prince Jitendra, brother
of the Maharajah of Coch Behar shall
not take place. The marriage was twice
postponed the last time from May 3,
