Wonderful Things In Heredity.

1t is fact well established by stu
dents of heredity that children are apt
to inherit not only the physical, mental
and moral traits OF their parents, but
to be influenced by their age as well.
Children born of very young fathers
and mothers never attain so vigorous a
growth Of mind or body as those of old
er men and women, while children Of
old people are born old.
One of the most surprising cases in
medical history is that Of Marguerite
Cribsowna. who died in 1853. aged 10S
years. When ninety-four, she was mar
ried to a man aged 100. Three children
came of this union, but they had gray
hair, no teeth, were stopped, yellow
and wrinkled, decrepit in movement
and could eat only bread and vegeta-
bles.

The mind OF the modern actor-ws
speak, or course. CT the many, not Of
all--lies n his dancing legs. his side
splitting grimaces, his business" bis
exaggerations OF peculiar lives OF to-
day. The mind thus devoted to the
lighter tasks or POPULARITY, skipping
also from one authors jokes to those
or another on moments notice, as its
possessor skips from town to town and
from stage to stage, Is not mind that
can suddenly turn TO the contemplation
and the study OF Shakespeare with any
hope that she lines OF the poet Will get
the better OF the encounter. The actor
who is to play Shakespeare acceptably
must not frivol away his intellectual
dignity. One cannot sing MARY Had
Little Lamb" with all the enthusi-
asm Of his soul for 800 nights and
hope to be equal to the Magnificent or a
TIE Deum or Siegfried's Rhine journey
on the three hundred and first night.
The tasks to which the modern English
and American manager puts the Eng
lish and American actor have destroy
ed the old school OF Shakespeare ac-
tors. Now, we are not saying that
this is not for the best; that in the
processes of the evolution of the arts
The theater has not naturally become
what 1t is.-Harper's Weekly.

How sleigh Bell. Are Made,

"The making Of sleigh bells Is quite
an art" says an iron founder. 1.-The
little iron ball is too big to be put In
through the holes In the bell, and yet
1t is inside. How did 1t get there? The
little iron ball Is called the jinglet.
When you shake the sleigh bell II jim
giles. In making the bell the jinglet is
put inside a little ball Of mud, just the
shape Of the inside Of the bell Then
mold is made, just the shape Of the
outside Of the bell. This mud ball with
the Jinglet inside is placed In the mold
Of the outside, and the metal is poured
in, which fills up the space between
the ball and the mold.
when the mold Is taken off, you see
a sleigh bell. but 1t will not ring, as II
Is full Of dirt. The hot metal that the
bell is made Of dries the dirt so that
1t can be shaken out. After the dirt
Is all shaken out Of the holes In the
bell the little iron jinglet will still be
In the bell and will ring. 1t took "a
good many years to think out how to
make a sleigh bell"
