Rank Among Children.

We noticed the other day a para
graph floating through the press that
exploited the eldest child in the family.
Milton, Byron, Shelley, George Eliot,
George Sand, Charlotte Bronte,
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton
and a number Of others were grouped
together to show that the eldest child
is the superior intellectually to those
that follow.
But now some equally ingenious jour
nalist has taken the trouble to combine
the youngest children and they make
showing that is at least equal to the
elder children's group. George Wash
ington was younger son. Napoleon
was the eighth child of his parents.
Coleridge was the thirteenth child.
Franklin was the sixteenth child Of
his family and was the last.
Among musicians the record Is yet
more remarkable. Richard Wagner
was the last Of seven; Mozart the last
of seven; Schumann the last of five !;
Schubert the thirteenth Of fourteen
'S ~ LISTS wv 'h0 younger GILL
dren excel. Rubens was the last of
seven; Rembrandt was the last Of six
Sir Edwin Landseer the fifth Of seven
and Sir Joshua Reynolds was the sew
enth child.
Coming down to our owu century.
Robert e. Lee and Ulysses S, Grant
were both younger sons while George
r. Mcclellan and Stonewall Jackson
were eldest sons.
