Sons of ~Clergymens

The French scientist, De Candole, has
been making some original Investigations
which conclusiYely show that science ana
leaning are especially indebted TO the sons OF
clergymen. As he claims, In clerical falnl-
lies their manne OF life, their quiet resu-
larity, their residences largely IN the country,
their coun.els 10 their children. the absence
Of various causes of dissipation, the habitusi
vigilance of the father and his domestic ex..
ample OF study, surprising the advantages OF
other families, give all tho greater force TO
the transmission Of faculties appropriate 70
the cultivation of the sciences" Good testl-
monv from an independent source and a keen
observer. De Candolle afirms that tho sons
of clergymen have actually outnumbered tor
two hundred years in their contributions To
the roll Of eminent scientists any other class
of families, not excepting those OF tho I'll
rectly scientific professions physicians, sur.
geons and chemists. Among tho sons OK
pastors who were distinguished as scientists
and scholars are Agassiz, Berzelius. Boor-
have. Fncke. EULER. Lionnaus. Olders and q
host of others. Among historians and PM
losOphers he cites Hallam, Hobbies, Emerson,
Sismondi and q long list Of equally great
names. The opportunity Tor sons 10 ioh,o"

Coleridge, Montgomery, Heper, lennyson;
lowell and others. Then as TO distinguished
lights in intellectual philosophy there are
such sons as Dugald Stewart, Cudworth.
Reid, Brown. Abercrombie and Bentham.
In the field Of literature ministers sons have
been numerous aud notable. az witness swift,
Lockhart, Sterne, Hazlitt. Thackeray, Ban

Joshua REYNOLDS. and among heroic charac-

The Wealth of Nations.

The fear of Malthus that the worlds popu-
latiOn would OutgrOw the resources OF SUD-
s~istence is brought 10 mind by an examina-
ton of the recent census on the wealth OF the
United States. This country is far ahead OF
all other civilized nations in aggregate wealth.
Speculative economists might busy themselves
in trying 20 find out what this wealth wlllfeed
on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. maximum ,forthe vast
wealth of a country can be - serious q menace
as the crowded population OF the planet. The
fact that this wealth IN tho United States IS
being concentrated within the hands OF q
few adds seriousness TO the outlook. The as-
eessed valuation of property IN 1880, Accord
inc 10 the census bulletin, was S24. 249, 5S9, sOi,
AGAINST SIC. gO2. 1913, SAB of the census previous.
In 1870 the value WAS ga. 17S. $50, 1872. and IN
1850 sf2. Osf. $50, 0O5. OF course the true val
nation ID much above these assessed values.
The computation OF the actual values for the
last census is not completed, but VIII reach

Next to the United States the wealthiest
country is the United Kingdom. The census

But. taking into consideration a reasonable

I5lsmarck's Superstition.

Prince Bismarck has strong super
stition concerning the number three,
which he considers has always played
an important part in his life. The arms
of his family boar over the motto, 'In
Trinitate Robur," three trefoil leaves
and three oak leaves; all caricatures OF
him represent him with three hairs on
his head, he has three children, Herbert,
Wilhelm and Marie; he has three es.
tates, Friedrichsruhe, Varzin and Schon-
hausen; he has fought in three wars and
signed three treaties of peace; he ar.
ranged the meeting of the three Emper-
ors and established the triple alliance.
Finally he has under him three political
parties, the conservatives, the ma.
tional liberals and the ultramontanes,
and he has served three German Emper-

Cut the Ceremonies Short.

Emperor William visited recently a
little Silesian town where certain mill
tary maneuvers were conducted. Tho
burgomaster took it upon himself to in
troduce various of the town dignitaries
to his Majesty. Fourteen of them were
standing in line, and the mayor began
as follows: "Herr Peter Paul Schmidt
his Majesty the German Emperor, King
OF Prussia, Margrave of Brandenburg,
herr Heinrich Wilhelm Sauerkraut-

hlng OF Prussia, Margrave of Branden-

To Arouse a Tipsy Man.

The best way to arouse drunken
man, says st. Louis policeman, is to
pinch him under the arm. l found a
fellow lying across the track at Tenth
and Morgan streets late one night, and
1t seemed impossible to arouse him. /
,clubbed him over the soles of his feet
and rolled and shook him, but he lay as
imp as rag. just then an old gentle
man came along and suggested that
plnch him under the arms. The effect
was electrical. l had him awake at
once. On another occasion Sergeant
Pierce tried the same experiment on a
sot at the fourth district station, who
was delaying the black Maria. The man
stood it for awhile and then suddenly
opened his eyes and dealt tho sergeant
n blow that would have felled an OK.

A Life Insurance Man Saves a Snug

The swindling of life insurance COM

understanding that each is to get slice
of the company's money after death.
Even if the company learns after death
that the application was founded on
lies, the money is often paid, unless the
amount is very large, rather than earn
the reputation OF contesting policies in

just as well as to be compelled to drive
several miles in special Sunday rig.
The money thus saved can be used to

The moral effect of this plan of dis
tributing the gospel ought to be good,
as the opportunities for social gossip
are limited. This method of disposing
OF the gospel has its advantages in cas-
es OF Sabbath diseases. There will be
no need of exposure to the inclemencies
OF the season. The sufferers can lie in
bed and listen as the sermon drips in
through knot hole in the wall above
their heads. This method of scatter
ing gospel truth has its advantages in
the case of candidates for the ministry.
This class will grow smaller of course
as the scheme is developed. But the
advantage will come during the devel-
opment. The candidate will no longer
be open to criticism upon his manners
and appearance. The details of dress,
foim and feature win escape the obeer-
walton of the listener and the truth alb.
sorbed free from all adulteration. This
method of sowing gospel seed will have
its advantages in the general wear and
tear Of life. The amount of Sunday
labor can be reduced to its lowest point
and the day become one of rest and re-
freshment.
