GOOD SONS OF p1ous s1REs.
spring Of Preachers Are Net
Always Degenerate.

An Englishman who has been col
lecting statistics announces that ESQ
per cent. of the personages in the
Dictionary of National Biography
were the children of clergymen," and
this declaration, says the Chicago
Times-Herald, has inspired the sug-
gestion that = law be passed provid.
ing that no bachelor shall hereafter
be permitted to receive orders in the
Church of England Every rectory.
it is declared, should be occupied by
a married man to the end that Eng
land shall have more and more citi-
zens who may be deemed worthy of
mention in dictionaries of national
biography.
Whether these suggestions are to
be taken seriously or not the fact
remains that a surprisingly large
number of the Englishmen who sue
ceed in winning fame came. as Ten
nyson came, from the country recto-
ries. English clergymen seem to
have an unusual faculty for starting
their sons in proper directions, and
in addition to this there must be
something in the atmosphere Of
even the vicarage that tends to great
ness.
Here in America, however, this ten
dency of the sons of preachers to
win enviable renown is not generally
noticeable. Indeed, it has been the
exception rather than the rule for
the sons of preachers-or of country
preachers, at least-to exhibit evil
dences either Of careful training or
inherited greatness. Not infrequent-
ly the worst boy in town is the
preachers boy, and it sometimes
happens that, while the good man IL
exhibiting to the congregation the
wisdom Of keeping the Sabbath
holy, his SON is out somewhere steal
ing peaches or trying to break q colt
whose owner has gone away with
the family to the house of worship.
1t may be that the American
preacher has so much more than his
English brother to do in the way Of
keeping the rest of mankind from GO
ing to the bad that he gets less time
to look after the welfare of his own
offspring. or there may be some 9TH
er cause for the fact that the space
In our biographical dictionaries is in
NO sense usurped by the sons Of
clergymen. In any case, it is graft
flying to be able to say that things
are not SO discouraging for our
preachers as they used to be. There
are not SO many scapegraces among
the sons Of ministers as there were,
say. generation ago. The families
of ministers, like those of other peo-
pie, are becoming smaller as the
years pass, and in some places the
tradition that the minister's boy
must lead gang in order to claim
the esteem of his contemporaries has
actually ceased to be q commanding
influence.

The Growth Of Golf.

A surprising growth in the game
Of golf in America is shown by Har-
per's official golf guide for 1901, Just
published. Details are given of 1887
courses existing last season, against
less than 900 the preceding year.
and the aggregate investment of
money must be very large. New
York state is first in the list with
164 courses. but Massachusetts,, the
second. shows much greater concen-
tration of golfing culture with 15s.
Idaho and Indian territory remain
the only sections of the country
without golfing organizations, but as
Oklahoma and Wyoming have not en-
tirely disdained the sport there is
still hope. Possibly golf is destined
to WELD a softening influence in
those unregenerate communitiea-

ODD BITS OF FASHION.
Tasty TFi1es That &c t. Make Up the
Attractive Costunes 0f the

There are varied opinions about this
new revival Of the fashion of dressing
the hair low on the neck. Their tone
depends very much on whether or not
the mode is becoming to the woman
who is speaking. If she is young. with
a fresh, oval face and small, shapely
head, she glories in the new couture
and adds q piquant charm by putting a
rose just back of her left ear. But If she
has lost the bloom of youth she expert
ments with it in the seclusion of her
own room, and decides that it il not
nearly so smart as the old way of perch
ing the hair high on the crown Of the
head, says the New York Sun.
Another point against the low Golf
fure il its untidy appearance. unless
great care is shown in its construction,
and even then il very soon has q dis
heveled look, ~ it must be arranged
loosely to have any style.
For full evening dress it has decided
advantages, however, provided, of
course. that it is becoming. as it sort Of
dresses the shoulders; but with high
necked gowns nothing could be more
undesirable. Women with long hair
dress it in puffs or low. soft coil, while
for shorter tresses there is the simple
style of turning it up once and tying it
with bow of ribbon. Part the hair at
one side in front and give it that
soft appearance in the cen
ter of the brow.
French camelshair serge is one of the
popular materials for the spring tailor

A Mexican was robbed of 50 cents and beaten over the head with a six-shootcr on Thursday night by two of his coun- trymen. He was walking up from Naco and was overtaken by two other Mexi- cans in a buggy, who offered to give him a ride to town. When nearing the Last Chance saloon one of them grabbed hold of him while the other went through his pockets. He started to resist. but was beaten over the head with a gun and dumped out into the roadside. while his assailants drove into town.

PEARL-PLATED BEEswAX.

The Smithsonian Institution has re- gently acquired the most remarkable artificial pearl in existence. It is about an inch and a half in length, oval in form, and an exquisite pink in color. If it were not flawed it would be worth an enormous sum of money, but even in it's present condition it is priceless as a curiosity.
 The pearl was made by introducing d ball of beeswax into the shell of a living fresh water mussel-one of those
 bivalves common in many rivers of the United States, which frequently yield fine pearls. occasionally produc Z ing I: gem of this kind worth many
 thousands of dollars. The nacrc se
 creted by mollusks of this genus is
 pink, often bordering on salmon, and
 the pearls obtained from them are
 among the most beautiful in the world.
 The ball of wax was placed near the
 hinge of the bivalve. which, being kept
 in a tank of fresh water, was care fully watched. Under such circum- stances. of course. a Inollusk tries to protect itself from irritation by cover X ing the foreign object with a smooth coating of pearl stuff-the same ma terial as that which it uses for lining . it's own shelf.
 This is exactly what the mussel did in the case described. and the result was an enormous pearl. Owing to pressure. however, the waxen ball lost it's spherical shape, which was given. ] together with the bivalve which pro | duced it, to the Smithsonian Institu- | tion. Contraction of the waxen core | due to dryness, caused it to crack. This misfortune while destroying itr commercial value. made it possible ia l obtain the thickness of the n5Creous coat, which IS somewhat greater than
