ELDEST SONS ARE CRIMINALS.
Youngest Offspring Paupers, Declare
English Scientists.

According to some curious inyestiga
tons conducted by English scientists cid
est sons tend to be criminals and young
est sons paupers. A great many thou
sand school children and many family
histories have been examined to yield
these results.
First-born children were found to be
as a rule, taller and heavier, with
greater ability and endurance than the
others. This is in accordance with the
popular feeling in many countries that
the oldest child is superior to the others
and deserving of special privileges.
1t is a well established fact that among
men of genius an undue proportion are
eldest sons.
