The Horse of Thirty.Five.

Study of the relation between the to-
tai length of life and the time required
to reach maturity has brought out an
interesting comparison between men
and horses. A horse at five years old
is said to be, comparatively, as old as
man 'at twenty. and doubtless may be
expected to behave, according to
equine Standards after the manner of
the average college student following
human standards A ten-year-old
horse resembles, so far as age and ex-
perience go, man of forty, while q
horse that has attained the ripe age of
thirty-fve is comparable with man Of
ninety.-New York Evening Post.
