AGE AND THE POINT OF VIEW How the Impression of the Youth of Twenty-one Is Properly Resented
 by Ills Elders.

That reporting is young mans business is illustrated In some news paper every day by some news item telling about something, usually un- fortunate, that happened to an old man or an aged woman, the Ohio State Journal observes. Often the aged person, 1t develops somewhere in the story, is fifty-three, we will say, or somewhere between fifty and six ty. As every editor has reason to know, this youthful point of view of the reporters not infrequently is re sented by the aged person referred to- To be run over by the mOtorcar was bad enough, but to be called aged is adding insult to injury. Nobody un- der seventy seems old to himself, and many between seventy-five and eighty would rather not be considered aged.
 We talk hopefully of a mans being only as old as he feels, but no matter how he feels a man of fifty impresses the youth of twenty-one as verging upon the sere and yellow, if not al- ready there. Our memory goes back tO lHe LLHo WASH d WOudn ol ILiI ly- five looked almost hopelessly aged to us, and now we know vIvacious girls of forty. And Daisy Ashford opened her immortal work by remarking: "Afr. Salteena was an-elderly man of forty-two." We don't know at what age elderliness begins for Daisy now, but if she lives long enough she will reach the point where her way of classifying Mr. Salteena would be to say that he was young man of forty two.

Mnemonio for Grams.

Scientific papers are getting to use the metric system of weights and measures more and more, and 1t has become almost necessary for every one to be able to convert such terms as grams into ounces at once. It is not however, easy to remember that there are 28.35 grams in an ounce. How ever, if one remembers the sentence '1t converts one ounce,". the figures will instantly recur to the mind. For the number of letters in each word gives 2-S-3-5.
 Mnemonics for other terms of the metric system are needed.

Ground Hogs.

In the American Boy Enos A. Mills says: 1.-Two summers while was guiding on Longs peak, a ground hog summered on the summit A few minutes after arrived on top with a party of climbers he showed him. self and waited for lunch scraps. After he was better acquainted he did not wait but expected to have help ings from the first table His winter den was 2,OO0 feet below the top. Ground hogs, especially in spring, wander in search of the first green plants; usually, from their tracks, they know just where these are most likely to be found"

 Injuries to horses are common dur ing the winter months in cities where snow becomes packed and forms an icy coating on the pavement. In most ,ities above the frost belt there are lines when pavements are slippery.
 Asphalt is especially troublesome md when covered by a very light sleet or snow makes a very treacherous footing for horses. The milkman or baker, who drove upon a clean pave nent the night before, may find the streets at a. m. so nearly impossible from a coat of smooth ice as to delay ais deliveries very greatly or even prevent them entirely.
 In country districts horses remain sharp or rough shod for considerable time. But if they are driven much on city streets paved with stone, cement, or asphalt, from which the snow has been removed, their shoes quickly be- come smooth and it is difficult for the horses to keep their feet.
 When the front feet slip backward horse is likely to fall and injure his knees, while side slipping generally causes him to come down broadside. Shoeing with rubber pads, or the use of emergency appliances may lessen the chance of slipping, but as there is always the possibility of a horse fall ing, even when well shod, careful driv- ing and precautions against overload ing are important additional means for reducing these accidents and injuries to minimum.

 When horse falls in harness he al- most immediately struggles to regain his feet. A strong, healthy horse win not remain down voluntarily, but In his efforts to rise he may become frightened. If the driver will give the right kind of first aid he can pre- vent serious injury to the animal.
 Held down by the harness the horse seldom has sufficient freedom to rise to his feet, though enough to struggle and injure himself by pounding his head on the ground. Accordingly the driver should calm the horse first by speaking in a reassuring tone and, by placing his knees upon. the animals neck just back of the ears, endeavor to prevent injury from struggling or from bruising his head. An intelligent horse quickly learns to place great confidence in the voice of a good driver.
 The traces and breeching straps should be unfastened and the vehicle rolled back from the fallen animal. If the horse is in-double hitch, the traces and yoke strap should be unfastened and the pole. vehicle. and working mate moved a short distance away. An injured horse will then regain his feet readily if he has suitable footing. In case the ground Is icy, scatter some fine sand, sawdust, or straw under and in front of him. If nothing of this kind Is available, spread blanket or burlap bagging on the pavement to give him better footing as he attempts to stand.
 In case the horse needs more help and encouragement, and especially if he lies broadside, roll him on to his chest, with the hind legs under the belly. Then work both front legs for ward until the feet are firmly on the ground and knees fexed. If after re- peated efforts and good footing he continues to fall back upon the ground there is possibly some injury to the hind parts, such as a fracture of the hip or leg, which should be examined by qualified veterinarian.
 In all efforts to assist a fallen horse do not forget that in rising to his feet he raises the head and fore
