ENGLAND'S GREAT BACHELORS.
Four Leading Men of the British
Kingdom Are Unmarried at
Middle Age.

This is the age Of bachelors in Eng
land. The women are discussing with
keen interest the fact that four of their
great men are unmarried. Arthur Bal
four is a bachelor, and indeed the first
bachelor to become premier since the
time of William Pitt.
Lord Kitchener, England's most not
able soldier, and Lord Miner, her most
prominent administrator, are both I'M
married.
Completing the notable four is the
bishop Of London, who is not far from
being the most prominent man in the
church.
The men on the other side, says the
Philadelphia North American, are de-
claring that France ''has long been
cursed with petticoat influence in poll
tics, and England has had some ex-
perience of the plague of women be-
hind the; scenes at the war office"
They believe that "the triumph of the
four great bachelors points to a quiet
and effective revolt of man.

RED, BLACK OR BLONDE.
DarL-Haired Children Have the Most
Imagination, But Red-Headed
Get the Good Marks

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities at Lille. It is found that
authenticated boys are generally at
the head of the recitation classes, and
blonde girls come out highest as arith-
meticians. But in composition they
are nowhere, says the London Ex-
press.
The dark-haired children of both
sexes have the quality of imagination,
and in their compositions know how
not to fatigue the attention, and as
are born stylists.
[ dare say the auburn boys and
blond lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are of F1emish-that is to say,
phlegmatic-race. Their brains do
not grow at once congested when they
stand up to recite, and for that reason
they keep the mastery of the vocal or
gans. In short, they continue to know
what they are about. The dark chill
dren are probably of Celtic-thatis to
say, Gallic-origin. The blood comes
with a rush to their brains, and they
grow confused, splutter and break
down. If they could only be Taught to
remain silent for few moments they
would be all the better for this rush,
as the confusion would have passed
away, leaving only stimulated mental
organs.
Finally, on the subject of hair, says
a writer in Truth, am sorry to say
that the red-headed boys and girls in
the Lille schools are at the bottom in
everything, save in good conduct
marks. Nor are they remarkable for
good health. The dark boys behave
better than the auburn or the fair, and
are more sensitive to praise or blame.
