BUSINESS ARISTOCRATS :IVUERE THE BLUEST COMMERCIAL BLOOD BINS. Borne English Firms Have Been in Ex- istence for Three and Four Generations. The commercial life of England pos- eesses an aristocracy of which mimy families con Irace an unbTOken descent «f heads of famous business houses through several generations, says Lon- don Answers. The well-known firm of publishers, I.onymans, Green k Co., for instance, was founded as long ago as 1724 by Thcmas Longman, and a Longman has b'len al its head ever since, the present head of the Ilrmâ€" Mr. Tliomas N. Ixing- inanâ€" being the sixth of his line. The founder was succeeded by his nephew, Thomas Longman, in 1755, who was fol- lowed by his son. Thomas Norton Long- man, in 1797 ; after whom came the lal- ters younger son William in 1824, fol- lowed by William's elder brother Tlwin- aj in 1877 ; and, lastly, the present head, who succeeded to the management of affairs in 1879. It will be noticed that, in the most blue-blooded manner, every head but one has been christened Thomas. The ofTico rit this .Irm to-day occupies the site it did at lis birth nearly two hundred years agoâ€" with additions, of courseâ€" and from the outset has constantly used its sign of the ship. WlELDEnS OF THE H.\MMER. Very nearly as good is the record of the Tatlersalls, the famous horse auc- tioneers. Founded in 1766 by Bichertl Tatlersallâ€" known as "Old Tatl"-il w.on became the greatest business of its kind in the world. At his death in 1795 his 6«->n Edmund look his place, and was followed in 1811 by his son Richard- known as "Old Dick." The letter's son- known as "Young Dick"â€" became head in 1859, and continued to rule until 1870, â- when a cousin, Edmund, succeeded, at whoso dealh in 1898 his senâ€" also Ed- mundâ€"followed, and still conducts the business. .Six successive Tatlersalls have thus wielded the hammer in the rostrum, three of whom were Richards and three Edmimds. The business has always been in London. For about one hundred and fifty years the family of Fry has carried on in Bristol the great c<5coa business bear- ing; iU? name. I-V.ur successive members â€" all Josephsâ€" in dijecl descent, have conducted it throughout that periodâ€" the tc under, Joseph Fry, fi-om about 17fiO to h;> death in 1787; his son Joseph to 1S35: the second Joseph's son Joseph un- til 1886; ami that Joseph's son Joseph from that date up to the present. THE LONG LINE OF "THE TIMES." "The Times'' is one of the greatest newspapers in the world. It was started in 1875 liy John Walter, and four suc- cessive Walters have owned it in the hiindrcd and twenty-odd years of its ex- istence. The founder died in 1812, and left it to his son John Waller, who also b«queathed it to his son, another John Walter, in 18-47. This genllemnn was chief until 1894, when his son, Mr. Ar- thur Walter, succeeded him, and is still th-> chief at Printing House Square. A noted publishing house is that of John Murray, the publisher of "The Quar- terly Review." 11 was foundctl In 1768 by John .MacMurray. and has always bc- k^ngod to his talenlcd family. His son, who look his place in 1793, dropped the ".Mac," became John Murray, and man- at;ed affairs until 1843, when his s<3n John Murray succeeded him, to be fol- k-wed by John Murray of the next gen- eration in 1892. .Mr. Murray's room at llu» (Inn's onices in Albemarle Street is a most liLstoric one, adorned with por- Iriiits of men famous In literature who have tliere met his ancestors. 'I'he <x)ulls family have been at the boiul of the t>est-known private bank in England tor a century and a half. Th<imas (ViulLs slartiM CoulU' Rank in 1760.

Another okl banking family is thai of the Coxes, the .\rmy agents. Richard Co.K founded the bank In 1785, and five (;<-neralions of the family have held the reins since then, the present head being Ml- Hubert Arthur Cox. A PEHENNIAL TPIO. The family record of the heads of the brewery linn of Rarclay, Pearkins & Co., b unique. In 1781 David Barclay bought lhi3 Anclior Brewery, and t<xik as his partner John Perkins and Sylvanus Be- (van, and from that day there has al- ways lieen a Barclay, a Perkins, and a Bevan concerned in Ihe nianageinenl, each family having been reprwenled through four generations. The (Inn has been established where it is in South- mark for over two hundred years. 'I'hc Ilrm of booksellers and news- ngcnts W. H.

The founder was succeetled In 1841 by his son. al.so Wil- liam Henry Smith, the noted statesman and Leader of the House of (Emmons, wlw made the business the huge con- cern that it is. He died in 1891, and his son Mr. W. F. D. Smith, M.P., has since been its head. Three generations cf Blaekwoodsâ€" oil Vvilliamsâ€" have managed the affairs of t^e famous publishing house. Mr. Wil- liam Blackwood began the business in 1804, and left it to his son Major William P.Iackwood in 1834, at whose death, in IftCl, it pas.s<^d to the Major's son .Mr. William Blackwood. THE COLLINS QUARTETTE. Four generations of Collinses have lo<iked after the affairs of the publishing hC'Use of that name, and, curiously, they have all been Williams, like the Black- woods. Mr. William Collins founded it in 1821. His son, the talented .Sir Wil- licm Collins, succeeded, and left it in 1895 to his son William Collins, who died in 1906, and his nephew .Mr. William A. Collins became the firm's head. Pears' Soap has claimed to be match- l«ies for the hands and complexion since 1789, when .\ndrew Peare began the busine.ss, and the family have always been at its head. There have been three Pears as chiefs in the hundred and eighteen years of the firm's existence, marking four generations, for the foun- der was followed by his grandson Fran- c's Pears in 18;)8, who left it in 1865 to his son Mr. .Andrew Pears. The .Marshalls have owned and con- ducted the business of Horace Marshall & Co., wh<:)ltsale newsagenlfi, since Wil- liam Marshall founded it in 1840, his sons, A. J. and Horace, following him ; and now his grandson, Mr. Horace B. Marshall, is the head. PITH, POJNT AND P.ATHOS. Wisdom is the jewel of great pric; dug from the niii-c of failures and loss- es Some iJe-3ple seem unable to under- stand that religion is more than say- ing over the creed. There is plenty of goodness in this world if humanity would just slop hunting for wickedness. The penally of greatness is that you have to give your past to your enemies for dissection. .•Sometimes a woman proves her fil- ncs-s for polilics by making a man think he wants to many her. It is funny to see the effort some rx-op'.e make to look perfectly happy and contented. As ChrLotmas approaches the smoker begins worrying over the cigars he kjiows will be given him.

The judicial aulhorities al Marseilles, France, have recently received a large number of conlidential letters from the wives of naval ollicers stationed at .Mediterranean porls, complaining Ihut their husb^inils were obtaining supplies â- ;f opium soii.ewhere in thai city. The authorities decided to act in Ihe mat- ter and the other day ordered a search of the stores of several Oriental curio- sity dealers. .Several thousand dollars' worth of the drug was found and seiz- ed. The dealers will be prosecuted. According to the statementiB made t> those who' have investigated the iiiatler, the opium habit recently has increased to an alarming exient in tlie navy, and it is even said that to this account may be laid the responsibility for many of the accidents thai have oc- curred. The naval authorilics have been endeavoring to eradicate this evil, but up to the present with little suc- cess. >« Pains Disappear Before II.â€" No one need suffer pain when they have avail- abk; Dr. Thomas' Ecleclric Oil.

Mr. Dale, who has passed middle lite, iiad a bad attack of scarlet fever, which deslro>ed his sen<o of taste. For a time he despaired of ever enjoying again the pleasures of the table, but eventu- Blly he begun to iiolioe that foods ct difterent colors produced different sen- sations. He takes a bite of food and Ihen gazes intently on what !.•? left on Iho platter. His theory is that his sense of ie>te has somehow been blend- ed wilh T»i.'< sen.se of sight.
