Tall and Short Months.

Averages for the height of women
show that those born in summer and
autumn are taller than those born in
spring or winter. The tallest girls are
born in August. AS far as boys are
concerned, those who first see the light
during autumn and winter are not so
tall as those born in spring and sum-
mer. Those born in November are
the shortest; in July the tallest.

wbv ANGELS Needed a Ladder.

II. H. Vreeland, the president Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
of New York, is the son of clergy
man-Rev. A. H. Vreeland-and some
times he tells the following story Of
his father, says the Detroit News-Irl-
bune:
zone afternoon my father made an
address before Sunday school. ia
cob's ladder was the subject that he
chose to talk on, and after he had told
that beautiful biblical story he said
to the listening children:
els there any one here who has
any questions to ask about Jacob!
''There was a silence. Again my
father asked:
els there no one here who wishes
to ask some questions about Jacob,
and the ladder, and the angels ascend
ing and deScending?'
This time a little girl said timidly:
"'Why was it, SIR since the angels
had wings, that they needed ladder
to ascend and descend on"
Before a question so intelligent and
ingenious my father naturally was at
loss He could think of nothing to
reply, so to gain time he said:
1.-The question 1 have been asked
is a good one. Can anybody answer
it? Come, now-surely some little boy
or girl can answer this question. Why
did the angels have a ladder when
"a little boy in the back Of the
goom piped out:
Maybe they were melting, sir.

REVISION NEAR.
Presbyterian Creed Is Certain to Be
Changed.

New York. May S.-Presbyterian creed
revision appears to be near at hand
after a prolonged and at times acri-
monous struggle within and without
the ranks of that church, says the Her
aid. It has been learned that Z27 of the
235 presbyteries of the Presbyterian
church in America voted soIidIy for
creed revision as based on the eleven
overtures sent down by last years gem
eral assembly. This tabulated official
vote was telegraphed to several leading
Presbyterians in this city by the stated
clerk of the general assembly. At the
meeting Of the general assembly to be
held in Los Angeles, Cal, this month,
it is believed the last obstacle to creed
revision viii have been overcome and
the demands of the great majority of
P1esbytefians granted
With this ratification of the decision
of several presbyteries it is hoped by
leading church men that the Presby-
terrain church may resume its old time
force in the country.
