her independence won rom Russia

Finland will ask that the Russian cap

IDEAS ABOUT AGE ARE WRONG
Writer Complains That World Thinks
of All Men AS If They
Were Young.

1t is the fashion nowadays to speak
of youth of eighteen as if he We're a
child, and of a man of thirty-tive as
if he were yet growing. The ancients
had no such ideas. and it has taken
the lack of seriousness of the past
three or four generations to spread
them as they are. l often remember
with pleasure a reference of Guy Pa
tin-thn charming literary physician
of the seventeenth century-to Il NJ.
Lenglet, man of tWcntY-siN, pro-
feSsor of rhetoric at the College dHar
court, rector of the Paris university.
Guy Patin says Il man Of twenty-SiX.
as he might have said Il man of forty
six; there is not the least intention of
contrasting this mans years with his
high position. William Pitt was not
supposed either, to be Il crude youth,
and the French observation-disclosures
of them men between twenty-five and
thirty-tive-were never taxed with
immaturity.
We think of all men who are not
elderly as if they were young men,
liable to the mistakes of young men,
and this not infrequently leads them
to act as if they really We're very
young men. But most lads of seven
teen are clear about their ethical code,
and who is there who has gathered
some experience, and has not found
that the possibility of foregoing the
cleanliness of their souls is more I'M
pleasant to them than to most of their
seniors ?-Ernest Dimmet, in Atlantic
Monthly.
