, V j y *. .fr v jr YOUTHFUL WORK NOT BEST 1 t / . . ' Few Writer? Whp Have Attained Immortality Were at Their Greatest in Early Ventre. Some years ago 31r William RobertBon Nlcoll wrote a book entitled "The ltound of the Clock: the Story of Oiu Lives from Year to Year." He divided life into 12 lustrums?that is to say periods of live years?and likened 12 lustrums, GO years to the round of the clock. Sir Wllliaib endeavors to describe the characteristics of growth, drawi lug on a very wide knowledge of biography and a prodigious memory. He brings together u great number of Illuminating facts. Sir William does not believe In the comparative uselessuess of men over forty. He quotes some words of Lord Madtinlkv in one of Ills speeches, "No great work of ini agination has ever been produced under the uge of thirty or thlrty-flvt years, and tin? Instances, are few lc which any have been produced undei the age of forty." Cervantes was tlfty-two when he pub llshed the tirst part of /'Don Quixote.' Runynn fifty when '.'The PllgrlmV Progress" appeared. Defoe fifty-eighl when he wrote "Robinson- Crusoe,' Scott forty-three when' thenftret of all his Wuverly novels wus launched, and Milton fifty-eight at tlie.do^e of "Par adlse Lost," At forty-onq Dumat wrote "The Three Musketeers," At for ty-two Hacon set to work oh his "No vum Organntn." At forty-four New ' ton began to issue his "Prlndpla," anil at forty-five Chaucer to write hls/'Can terbury Tales.", At forty-seven Mon talgne published his essays, and ai forty-eight Lamb his "Essays of Ella.' Rabelais launched his gi^nntlc me die\al masterpiece at l'orty-nine. Ed warn ruzgeiuiu was tlfty when hb "Omar Khayyam" began to wait ?01 recognition. Adam Smith publisher his epoch-making work, "The Wealtl of Nations." at 11 ft.v-three, John Lockr tils "Kssa.v Concerning Human Under standing" at fifty-eight, Jonathan Swlfi ids "Oulliver's Travels" at flfty-nlnr and Iznuk Walton ids "Coinpleat An gler" at sixty.?North Chlau Herald. The Woes of the Bachelors. in Belgium the bachelors: have be gun to tremble. The provincial eoun < 11 of Halnnut hay voted for a bill lm I losing a surtax of U."> per cent on al the provincial taxes, to be paid by maU celibates. This does not prevent the incorrlgi ble bachelors from persisting In cell bacy. They Invoke a legendary exam pie. It was in the time when certaii men condemned to death were par doned If they consented to wed'-i maiden desirous to marry; who thui in her hand brought theiu to life. Now. one of these, at the hour whei iie was to he hanged, wanted to sc< first his future wife. She was of a canonical age, am hardly a heuuty. v "Hang nie!" he cried,; and stepped ti the gallows. . Many of the ITainaut eel ilia tes wll therefore?annoyed or not?pay the 2J per cent surtax. .. Return to Lano of Thelf; Fathers.
