Cato at eighty, took it into his ven

tarch, almost as late in life, learned
Latin. Theophrastus began his work
on the characters Of men at ninety.
His literary labors were ended only
by death. Socrates learned to play
on musical instruments when we'll ad-
vanced in life. Colbert, the famous
French statesman, returned at sixty
to his Latin and law studies, and the
great Doctor Johnson applied himself
to Dutch but a few years before his
death. Then there is the now forgot

Gatherings Not Only
for Trade Purposes

While the natives of Ethiopia repre-
sent a rather high order of intelligence
they do not seem to be able to break
away from their old traditions and
their old methods. The market Is the
medium of exchange of news and views
as well as of commodities, and market
day is a treat that the native does not
miss If it can be avoided. The inhab-
itants of the highlands bring their
grain and similar products down to
some large plain which is recognized
as the market" and there they meet
the natives of the lOwlands who have
brought their cotton. The latter is the
basis Of all exchange and barter. They
have money, but the value of the cot
ton regulates the value Of the money.
Salt also is highly esteemed. The coins
made use of all bear the date 1870, no
matter how recent their origin may
have been. The date is regarded as
evidence Of their validity and a coin
remains in service until the date Is
worn off, after which no one will &C
cept it for anything.-Exchange

Glaciers

You liked the music instruments
that glaciers made, but no songs were
ever so grand as those Of the glaciers
themselves, no falls so lofty as those
which poured from brOws and chasmed
mountains of pure dark ice. Glaciers
made the mountains and ground corn
for all the flowers, and the forests Of
silver fir; made smooth paths for hui
man feet until the sacred Sierras have
become the most apprOachable OF
mountains. The primary noun
tain waves, unvital granite, were soon
carved to beauty. They barred the
lordly domes and fashioned the clus-
tering spires; smOothed gOdlike noun
tain brows and shaped lake cups for
crystal waters; wOve myriads Of may

Whistler Not Always
REGARDED With FAVOR

Whistling is forbidden in Iceland,
where 1t is regarded as a breach OF
the divine law. But whistling is re-
garded with disfavOr in other places as
well. In the dressing room of the
ater, for example, it dOoms play II
anyone whistles within hearing Of the
players who are making up" for the
first performance, according to very
old theatrical superstition.
On shipbOard you must not whistle
unless you want to bring a gale OF
wind. You may whistle just little In
a calm, If you wish for a bit of wind,
but sailors generally believe you are
likely to get much more than you
want
Whistling after dark Is regarded as
unluckly in some parts, while miners
hold that at no time of day should one
whistle in a mine; doing so is sure to
bring on a cavern, an explosion, or
some other form of disaster.
Among the races which resent all
whistling are the Arabs. They say
that it is inspired by the "evil one, "
and that it takes 40 days to purify the
mouth Of a whistler. Five years ago
the governor of Guam, the American
island possession in the Pacific, issued
an edict against whistllng on that is
land-presumably in Difference to the
prejudice Of the natives against the
practice.-Grit.

SIoLU GroLOths of Oaks.

England's famed oaks are disap-
pearing. Many oaks were cut down
during the war, as the wood was ur-
gently needed. Said botanlst: "The
wood Of an oak is not really any good
until the tree is four hundred years
old, and people today cannot afford to
grow oaks for pOsterity. Originally
large parts Of England were covered
with oaks. The tree is almost a rarity
now in some places. It is said that an
oak takes 400 years to grow to full
size, is mature for another 400 years,
and takes 400 years more to decay.
In son. cases I should say this Is
true"
