Ftrstborn For Fame.

Professor Axenfeld Of Perugia has dis
covered that three-ifths of all men Of
distinction are frstborn children; the
other two-ifths are either second or third
children, or else the youngest of very
large families. Among the first he points
out Luther. Dante, Raphael, Leonardo da
Vinci, Confucius. Heine. Schopenhauer.
Goethe, Ariosto. Mohammed, Shelley.
Erasmus, Milton, Byron, Moliere, Car
lyle, Rossini. T~alleyrand, Button; among
the last Loyola and Franklin, both thir-

professor thinks this arises from physio-

when was running boarding

said the tall man, brown sugar cost
cents pound when l bought it by
the hogshead. and granulated sugar
cost - cents a pound when purchased
in equally large amounts. Now, if
you had 200 men to board, all of whom
used sugar in their coffee, what kind
of sugar would you buy?'
81 suppose I'll make mistake, but,
as far as know now, | would buy
brown sugar, for that would be the
cheapest" was the reply.
"And that's where you've made 4
mistake" said the tall man. I'll
prove it to you in a minute. When
you go home tonight, you take a tea
spoon and experiment with both kinds
of sugar You'll see that with granu-
lated sugar you can pick up only as
hold. But it's different with brown
sugar. II you dig your spoon deep
into it, when you lift the spoon you
bring nearly three spoonfuls of sugar
along with it. as it packs closely. That
is what housewives call a 'heaping
teaspoonful.' Now, the average rail
roader is used to putting three to four
spoonfuls of sugar in his coffee, and he
never looks to see whether they are
heaping ones or not. Therefore the
brown sugar is the more expensive. |
tried both ways, and l found that using
granulated sugar saved me over SIS
a month over what it cost to serve
brown sugar. There's even more diff
ference now and then too. The big
sugar concerns have Deaten down the
price of granulated sugar until it costs
but penny pound more than brown
sugar. That's why you see granulated
sugar in all the cheap boarding houses
today."-New York Sun.
