against him concerning the law OF his
God"
The bishop. in opening spoke OF the

lent in this country, where we se.eot rep
resentative men and honor them. He
spoke Of his recent visit to Canton, Ohio,
and the disposition shown there by many
people to pay reverence ait the tomb Of

find fault with this disposition, but rather
commended it, yet he thought there was
room to deprecate the conduct OF public
men in many directions.
Alter the sermon the class TO be con-
frmed was presented TO the bishop by
Archdeacon George G. Han, the rector
OF the church.
! After the rite had been conferred the
bishop gave TO the class the passage from

see It ana fear and shall put their trust
IN the Lord"

ENeLlsHMEN OF GENIUS.

somo statistics as TO Their origin
and Length OF Life.
Havelock Ellis studies Of the origin
and habits Of the British men Of gen
ius show that most came from busi-
ness life, many from good families"
so called, and few from the clerical
profession. OF 1O3 men Of eminence IN
ten centuries thirteen were the sons OF
carpenters. FIVE Of shoemakers, i've OF
weavers and four OF blacksmiths.
Brownings father was a clerk, and so
was Bradlaugh's; Turner's was a bar
ber, Carlyles a mason, Huxley's 2
sehoolmaster, Keats a livery stable
man. Knox's a peasant, Wolsey's
grazier and Whiteheld's an innkeeper.
Men OF genius are long lived. OF
those on Mr.. Ellis list more died be-
tween sixty-hve and seventy-five than
in any other period. Those living be
yond seventy-hve numbered 230, those
beyond eighty 13O. and twenty lived
past ninety.
A genius Is not often an only son.
He is more likely to spring from a
large family. Nor is he often the son
OF a distinguished father. He Is some
times a tall man. Twenty-six instances
are cited Of great men who were six
footers and over. Among them are
Darwin, Millais. Sir Walter Scott, Ten

zonInricn1 Nomenclature.

The buffalo In the United States IS
a bison; the partridge Of Michigan and
pheasant Of Pennsylvania and other
states is ruffed grouse; the rabbit,
so plentiful in the market at times, is
a hare. Both species Of grouse, the
ruffed and the plnnated, are called
pheasant, partridge and patrige, and
the pinnated grouse is universally re-
ferred to as the prairie chicken. Prai-
rie chicken Is not a bad name for the
pinnated grouse. for it is original and
does not confound it with other birds.
but It is not right TO use the names
partridge and pheasant when referring
to our grouse, for these are the cor
rect names OF European specimens.
