The Man About Town Replies.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: One of the
hardest workers in the United States Is
James j. Hill, president OF the Great
Northern railway and the richest man
in the northwest. He believes thor
oughly In the gospel Of hard work, and
has inculcated this belief in his sons,
who are following in the footsteps Of
their father. Further, he has no use
for the young man about town, whose
chief mission is to AVE q good time.
One or Mr.. Hills sons had "a friend OF
the character described. This young
man used to drop into the office Of the
son, much to the disgust OF MI. Hill,
who, on more h one occasion, barely
concealed his annoyance. Finally, on
a very busy day, the railroad magnate
found the Objectionable young man
chatting cheerfully. Mr.. Hill blurted
out:
Il don't see why scalawags have 10
hang around these Offices"
The young man turned to the son
and blandly remarked:
Say, Lou, do you let you father call
you such names as that?"
Mr.. Hill is not without a sense of
humor, and 1t is said hat the Great
Northern president was seen in the
corridor a short time afterward quietly
chuckling to himself.

NEW LIFE STATISTICS.
They Show That First-6orn Children
Live the londesf

k"S @Stt9Goe
Galveston News: mot only life in
a experts. but a great many
other people also nave observed thai
longevity or the reverse runs in fam
les said an insurance man yester-
day. "Some persons haze harder con-
situations than others n they are
apt to transmit them to their children.
A man both of whose parents were
long lived has a promise Of a good old
age himself. This, Of course, is an old
story. A much less familiar principle
affecting the duration Of life has been
presented by Miss Mary Beeton of
Cambridge, and Professor Karl Pear
son of London, In a brief periodical
called Biometrika.
"A comparison was made between the
lengths OF the lives OF two adult
brothers or two adult sisters 70 ascer-
tain IL there was q perceptiblo differ
ence between the older and younger
members OF a pair. The figures here
given represent the average Of over
LOCO cases and hence would seem to
point to a general law. 1t may be add
ed that the particular person under in
vestigation belonged TO the Society OF
Friends. That organization placed its
records at the disposal of Miss Beeton
and Professor Pearson.
1T thus appears that the average OF
the elder brothers was SO. So years, the
younger brothers 54.575, the elder Sis
ters SO 1924 and the younger sisters
55 .667. There is a difference Of over four
years in favor of the older brother or
sister. This does not signify that the
older brother or sister will survive the
younger. The mean interval between
the births Of all the pairs under con-
~sideration vas about six and n half
years. Hence the older brother or sis
ter would ordinarily die first, though
attaining a greater age.
The first inquiry here mentioned was
limited to pairs, the younger members
of which had attained the age of 81. A
second comparison was made that in
cluded minors with adults. 1t gave
results closely resembling the other.
The mean excess OF life In 1856 pairs
was 4.6 years. But the intervals be-
tween the births appears to exert
some influence. Biometrika's contri-
butors furnish a formula by which
ones expectations can be computed,
and adds: Thus n brother born ten
years before another brother has prob
ably seven years greater duration of
life. A sister born ten years before an
other sister a probably about six
years greater duration of life"

whose SIS notes have just been sue

Stafford. He employed a number Of
artists on different parts OF the fabri-
Gated notes, twenty of which he de-
posted as a proof that he was a man
of means with a young lady whom he
was about to marry. No suspicion was
entertained until one of the artists
gave information to the police.
Vaughan was arrested and executed at
Tyburn in 1853. The last person axe
cuted for forgery was Thomas May
nard, and that was in 1929. There was

Nurses Experience.

Nurses Experience.
Medical men say that a good nurse
in a difficult case is better than med
icine, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands a much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
we'll worthy the attention of all
readers:
81 have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations l have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent r~emedy-well rubbed in. l can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes 81 have found St, Jacobs Oil a most
eficacious remedy in govt also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"
