The tomb of Mary queen of Scots
was set up in the south aisle of Henry
Wills chapel, Westminster abbey, by
James l., who transferred thither the
body Of his mother from it's first bury
ing place in the cathedral at Peter
borough. Something like a quarter Of
a century has elapsed between her
death and the completion of this me-
mortal; for though a royal warrant
ordered the payment Of $4,125 to Cor
nelius Cure, the master mason In the
year 1907, the full design Of the tomb,
to cost $4,000, was not shown to the
king till 1911.
In the white marble effigy, the
queen, whose contemporary portraits
survive only to contradict each other
and to BATTLE all modern judgments on
her beauty, wears long mantle, fast
ened by a brooth, close cap and a
laced ruff. At her feet, guarding her
in death, as it never guarded her in
life, is the Scottish lion crowned; and
all over the solid sarcophagus is an
elaborate canopy, which, until now,
has at least kept the photographer at
bay.
Near at hand, in that great temple
of reconciliation" is the tomb of Queen
Elizabeth herself, also set up, and in
much the same style by james l., the
greatly forgiving. In Queen Mary's
vault itself are the ashes of other I'M

Jews Long-Lived.

Prof. William 2. Ripley says, in the
Popular Science Monthly: Suppose
two groups of 100 infants each one
Jewish, one of average American par
entage (Massachusetts)-t be born on
the same day. In spite Of all the dis
parity of social conditions in favor of
the latter, the chances determined by
statistical means, are that one-half of
the Americans will die within AZ years,
while the first half Of the Jews will
not succumb to death or accident be-
fore the expiration of II years. The
death rate is really but little over half
Of the average American population.
This holds good in infancy as in old
age. Lombroso has put it in another
way. OF 1000 Jews born 217 die be-
fore the age of Z years; while 453
Christians-more than twice as many
are likely to die within the same
period"

FEW WORDS ARE NEEDED.
Only Limited Vocabulary Necessary in
Teaching the Young.

II have been engaged on rather a
novel experiment lately" remarked
bright teacher, who is particularly in
terested in kindergarten work. "My
purpose is to obtain some definite idea
of the vocabulary of small children
how many words they use for the ex-
preston of ideas. Strange to say, there
is no data on the subject, although it
would be Of great scientific value in
indicating the development Of the
mind. I took three of my pupils, lit
tie boy and two girls, all about years
old, and told them to look carefully at
certain house across the way. Then
had them describe it to me, and took
down what they said in shorthand. 1
afterward repeated the experiment
with children between the ages of 8
and years, carefully counting the
words employed in each instance.
found that none of the smaller children
used over 60 different words, while the
others ran up in the neighborhood Of
200. OF course, one trial was value
less, because of individual variations
In temperament, and the only way to
obtain results of any scientific value
is to calculate averages from an i'm
meEse number Of experiments. This
propose to do, but 1t will take me two
or three years at least. I have been
at 1t now for only few months, and
the thing that has impressed me most
is the very dexterous use to which
young children put their limited stock
of words. AS rule, an intelligent
child of say 6 will give better and
more vivid description Of people and
things than one Of s. The additional
words which the older youngster en-
ploys usually tends to obscure the
point. Some very interesting expert
ments might certainly be carried out
in the same line with adults and am
persuaded they would demonstrate
that the average person of the middle
class has much smaller vocabulary
than is generally supposed. 1t is sur
prising how few words some folks
manage to tumble through life with"

SPECIAL NOTICE.
HIGH CLASS BUILDING LOTS AT
AUCTION.
A Rare Chance OGered for Investors
and HOmeseekers.

On Monday, May %, at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, we propose to sell at auction
those very beautiful lots on Eighth street,
between Bull and Drayton, Drayton and
Abercorn, Abercorn and Lincoln, and
Lincoln and Habersham streets.
1t is hardly necessary to say anything
in favor of these lots; they speak for
themselves with more force than any per-
son can speak for them. There are, how
ever, one of two points which we think
well to call attention to.
First. They, of course, have every con-
venience in the world-water, gas, sewers.
electric lights etc.
Second. They have the Barnard, Aber-
corn and Whitaker streets electric lines
running through them.
Third The prettiest residences in the
southern section are on this street, proba-
bly, the cheapest cost at least $1,000.
Fourth. These lots are owned by the
Oglethorpe Real Estate Company, who
have decided to sell them out so as to OBJ
tain money with which to build houses
and make improvements on the balance
of their property, which extends to the
Waters road.
Therefor! rthese lots will be sold to the
highest and best bidder. We understand,
of course, that property will not sell for
as much at auction as at private sale,
but, on the other hand, when you have a
great deal of property it is considered
wise to sell at least a part of it at what
ever price it will bring, even at a loss, SO
that the property may get into the hands
of people who will build and thus in
crease the value of the remainder rather
than hold it altogether at high prices
Now, this is precisely the situation with
the Oglethorpe Real Estate Company.
They want this property developed and
are going to offer the very best lots they
own at public outcry and hope to see
them bought by home-builders.
