An author presents a classified list of world cele- brites together with the ages of their respective fathers at the time of their birth. For example, Alexander, Bona- parte, Cbarlemange, Grant, Hannibal, Pompey and Roosevelt were all born when their fathers were at the age of less than thirty-one, the age of militarism and aggressxveness. Genius at Thirty-one At the age of thirty-one to forth} the artistic age, their fathers present-i ed to the world such geniuses as! Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, Shake-E sot-are, Raphael, Carlyle and others} ot‘ their status.

All reporters have to know shorthand, don't. they? Literary distinction, genius in any particular, which distinguished a cer- tain father are quite frequently abâ€" sent in the case of his son. In won- dering at this we fail to take note of the period fh the father’s life when he “made his mark."

It is difficult to believe that corn has anything whatever to do ' ‘th it; .neither has the iron in the soil. as one writer puts it. No one really Jmows. it seems to be second nature ifor a white bird to throw this straw color. It is no sign of impurity. For all that, a straw colored bird should not in: used in the breeding pen unless there are a number of .other qualitas in the bird that are worth more to the flock. 111 mating for the t‘amy. of course, straw color would be ohje.;iiox1able.

Same Man Designed Burned Bulldings a_nd Albany Capitol In the London Times Mr. Vessey Knox has the following letter: “It is curious that two of the finest build- ings in the New World should both have been designed by the same ar- chitect and should both have been :burned down. Thomas Fuller was an Englishman, born at Bath, who emi- grated to Canada in 1857. His design for the Parliament Building at Ottawa Causes and Effects of Color in Varlous Fowl was accepted in competition in 1857. In 1867 his design (jointly with Augustus Lover) tor the Capitol at Albany was acceptedâ€"also in compe- tition. It would be difficult to imagine two buildings more unlike than the lsvish structure in the style of the French Renaissance which overlooked the Hudson and the severe and simple mum; on an even finer site by the Ottswt. But both had great merits." I am now altogether certain that clasping the fingers well around the test so as not to press the ends of the fingers into the teat. is an un- failing rule for fast milking. It might be influenced by the size. length and shape of the fingers, but I am very certain that if a person is a slow milker, it is due to some inapt method of manipulating his fingers which he could discover and correct it he went at it.
