hair in the Spey valley and in the western
isles implies inroads of the vikings or
Norsemen. 1t is perhaps pushing the evil
dence too far when the writer's suggest
that the high percentage of fair-haired
girls in the neighborhOod OF Dumferline
is due to the train of blond damsels who
are supposed to have accompanied the
Saxon Princess Margaret, who about
the time of the Norman conquest became
queen of Malcolm CanmOre."
The survey, We are told, appears to cor
roborate the conclusions of DR.. Shrub
sail in regard to London slum districts,
that the percentage of fair-haired people
in industrial towns Is very low. Owing
TO alien invasion or the influence OF en-
vironment or to some unknown cause in
towns like Glasgow and Dundee the con-
dtionS are specially unfavOrable to the
survival of blond men. while the reverse
is the case with women. Another impor-
tant conclusion Is that improvements in
communication do not. as might be eX-
pected. tend TO hOmogeneity of type; on
the contrary. owing perhaps to some OBJ
Scure influence Of environment, all Sucn
improvements apparently tend to make
the race more heterogeneous. To quote
further:

The Old-Fashioned Pea.
From the Ohio State Journal


There is one thing certain, and that is,
the pea has backslidden. II Vas a grand
vegetable thirty or forty years ago. pos
sesSing flavor as delicate and sweet as
the fragrance of a rose. The neW-fanSled
pea--the Telephone, Marrow Fat and
other sorts that have come later-are poor
substitutes for the old fashioned pea. and
it is a sad reflection upon the public
taste that they are tolerated
The peas we have nowadays seem to
have taken on new nature. They are
bigger fatter clumsier. coarseT. thicker
skinned and raw-taSting than the grace

pea of the olden time was the best thing
that came on the table. That old asSocia-
ton of lamb and peas was intended to
he q commitment to the lamb. and yet,
spring lamb was supposed 10 be the ne
plus ultra of all meats: but it was the
meas that made the lamb taste good.
But think of the pea of nowaday go
ing with spring lamb-why, they are bet
ter suited to corned beef and liver.
There are some things that 1t Is al
most a sacrilege to try to make better,
aue one of these is the old-fashioned pea.

the world and its life was a blessing

it into their heads to give it more body

and pulling down the public desire for
things that have lost their virtue.

ECCLESIASTICAL EMIGRATION.
Ministers Transfer Allegiance From
One Faith to Another.
From The ChHrchman.

Some sixteen priests have recently left
our communion and sought a more con-
genial spiritual home in the Roman
Church. Some of them had been, as is
officially stated contemplating the step
for a year or more. From time to time
We have noted their dispositions from the
ministry of the church, but the action
seemed to call for no special comment
any more than the accessions. probably
in the long run as numerous. from Roman
to Anglican allegiance. We should not
refer 10 it now save as a new Illustration
OF the contrast between present and past
methods of ecclesiastical thought.
The question Of adheSons gained from
secessions made to Christian bodies to-
day by conversion. perversion or what
ever the process may be called is a mat
ter of individual rather than collective in
terest. None of the great problems be
fore the Christian world is going To he
solved by such action. One of the most
suspicious features in the modernist
movement Of the Roman communion has
been the firm resolve OF its members to
remain where they were.
The separated baptized members Of
Chr!sts Church have little occasion to
claim for their own particular organiza-
ton be it historic or be II recent in It's
origin. that in association with them alone
is found the sole following Of Christ or
such unique fidelity to his commands
as to make separation from them an abb
sOute loss. adhesion to them an un-
mitigated gain. The supreme loss for all
Christendom comes from that selfishness
which processes discipleship to Christ and
denies fraternity to men. The supreme
gain will come from living down secta-
rian pride and from the confession that
no processes Of administration or organi-
cation can atone for mutual hatred or
hostility between Christians.

Americas Moral Awakening.

Secretary Taft in IeSnes weekly.
Those who think that the moral awak-
ening of the people can be turned into
movement by which all poverty Shall be
abolished and all riches divided up are
really looking toward socialism as a So
luton of the present inequality in the
distribution of wealth. In so doing they
are counting on change in human nature
that has not taken place and is not likely
to take place in many generations and
centuries to come. And reforms based
for their operative success upon the COM
plete elimination of sefiShnesS. enlight-
ened or otherwise. from the members of
human society. when attempted. are GER
tain to result in failure. The moral
awakening however, has been of the ut
most benefit to this country and can be
made more 1t certainly has aroused
the interest of the people in government
and Legislation and has made them prop
erly suspicious and properly watchful OF
the dOingS of their representatives. 1t
has given to the young, high-minded in
telligent men the country over an ear
nest desire TO take part in the movement
and TO be of those who make for
righteousness in government.

SCOTCH HAIR AND EYES.
Percentage of Blends Found Unex-

From the Literary Digest

FROM the Literary Digest
Some Interesting facts have been
brought out by what is called pig
mentation survey of Scotland describ-
ell i'm the Journal of the Royal anthro-
biological Institute by two Scotch anthro-
biologists. Messrs. Gray and Tocher This
is simply examination of the color of
hair and eyes among the school children

tuir. describing the results:
I'm the first place the percentage t24U
of Scotch boys with fair hair is unex-
pectedly low. The obvious inference is
than the pure Morse or English element
in the population is by no means pre-
dominant. and that there is dark or
brunette element at lsast equal and
probably greater. The highest density
of fair hair is to be found in the great
river valleys opening on the German
ocean and in the western isles. In the
former case this probably points To inva-
sions OF blond race into those regions.
Similarly, the higher percentage of fair

NEW DEGREES NEEDED.
Another Plea for More Fitting Titles
for Eminent Citizens.

From the New York Times.
The universities have firmly established
the custom of formally recognizing the
civic worth. public spirit. or military
ability of prominent men. In a republic
where there are no titles. and few honors
conferred by the state, the custom is good
and should prevail The Harvard and
Yale lists of honorary degrees this year
are discreetly chosen. William Vaughan
Moody. for instance. has been called the
foremost living American poet. and there
is reason for comforting upon him the
degree of doctor of literature. The hon
Ors bestowed upon Dr. Lusk. DR.. Munger.
Senior Nebuco. and most of the others i'm
the Yale list have a direct relation to
their lifeWork All the Harvard honorary
degrees are equally appropriate.
Mr.. j. p. Morgan has a larger claim to
the degree of doctor of laws given to him
al Yale than many others who have been
thus honOred In the past. He Is man of
liberal education, but nobody will ever
write LID. after his name or call him
doctor His degree is therefore an
empty honor which is pity Yale de-
sired TO honor him. as Oxford and Cam

bestow honors upon eminent Americans.
and the pity is that the universities have
nothing more appropriate TO hestow than
the mere symbols of academic degrees.
Though Mr.. Morgan has many of the
qualifications of a doctor of laws, his
Yale degree leaves him where he was

THE BIRD CLOWN.
Queer Fellow Is the Yellow-Breast'
ed Chat.

From St. Nicholas.
The oddities of the yellow breasted chat
begin even with his classification. To
think of a warbler the size of Baltimore

hooking bird. Indeed. there is little about
the chat that it not remarkable: he goes
in for the weird and the spectacular. If
nature designed him to show what she
could do in the way of the unusual and
the eccentric she had remarkable success.
This bird. and not the catbird, is the
real CLOWN of the woods Clown of the
thicket would be more apt. for. like the
catbird. he prefers the shrub and lower
trees: wild tangIe Of briars and vines is
a favorite haunt. 1t is only the better to
survey such a retreat that he mounts to
the top of tree. From his lofty perch
he sings. TO the amusement and bewilder-
ment Of the person that hears the song for
the first time. More likely than not he
will become invisible and silent upon the
first attempt to approach him. remaining
quiet and hidden till you move on again
then he chuckIes loudly and scolds and
spits and SCOTS till you are out of sight
and hearing.
No bird is so fearful of being seen or
such a master of hide-and-seek. 1t is
worse than useless to try 10 steal march
on him. He manages to be always on the
wrong side of the next bush. the one way
to find his nest, which is a pretty little
basket of straws and weedstalks. lined
with fine grasses and strips of soft bark

ground among tall weeds or bushes The
sitting bird steals away and is at once
lost to sight. Take a peep at the white.

the bushes far away from the nest as

HABITS OF HINDoo SERVANTS
Will Sell Household Stores and Rent
Out Family Washing.
From Britannia.

FROM britannia.
Excellent servant as the Indian is in
many respects, honesty is not one of his
qualities. and he has to be strictly looked
after when either money or goods are in
trusted to him. a mistress cannot go in
to her kitchen. consult the cook as to
what the meals should be and what
should he ordered from the shops and
leave the rest to him. She has to give
him out from her locked-up stores every
spoonful of everything that is required
for the days cooking. else the goods
would be sold outside.
The busters. the name in India for every
description of kitchen and pantry and
stable towel. have to be doled out every
day or every two days, the sOiled ones
being counted and locked up till they are
given to the dhobi (washerman), who
must not be allowed to keep the clothes
of the household longer than is absolutely
necessary or he will let them out to his
friends for small sums-silk handkerchief
