lie was never strong man physically.
His successor, for a brief time, Zach
airy Taylor, was short and stout,
''dumpy," as the popular expression
puts it. Fillmore, who became Presi-
dent upon Taylor's death, was one of
the big men of the presidential line.
Although under six feet in height, he
was broad erect. He was what would
now be called "fne-looking" Franklin
Pierce, who came after him, was taller
probably, than Fillmore, but he was
rather slender. Pierce was the hand
soonest man who ever became Presi-
dent, it has been said, and his graces
of manner were no less attractive.
Buchanan was tall and large of frame.
He habitually carried his head with
lean to one side, and he had another
physical popularity that was even more
unusual-one Of his eyes was hazel,
while the other was light blue
Lincoln was one of the few Presi-
dents whose physical characteristics
are popularity known. but his own de-
scription Of them is worth repeating
here. II am,'' he wrote to an inquirer
in 1859, ''in height six feet four inches
nearly; lean in flesh; weigh. on aver
age, 16O pounds; dark complexion,
with coarse, black hair and gray eyes
no other marks or brands recollected."
1t may be added that he was the first
President to wear a beard, as Grant
was the first to wear a mustache All
the Presidents who preceded Lincoln
were clean-shaven, as to lip and chin.
Of those who followed him no more
need be said than has been already
said in the comparisons with Mr.. Taft.
They are so recent that few of us have
any mistaken notions in regard to their
personal appearance.
Thirteen of the twenty-five chief ex-
ecutives of the nation have been above
the average in height and most Of these
have been in the neighborhood of or
above six feet. If one cannot be great

set rather forward on his shoulders,
and, his neck being long, it habitually
protruded when he was walking or
talking.
Madison, the father of the constitu
ton, was physically unlike any of his
predecessors. Below the average height,
he was small of frame. Throughout
his long and eminently useful life he
was a semi-invalid, and it is singular
fact that the two Presidents who lived
to the greatest age were in. early life
convinced that death was constantly
waiting just around the corner for
them. John Adams was for many
years morbidly anxious about his
health, but during the last half of his
ninety years of life he was exception
ally hale and hearty. Not so with
Madison. From extreme youth to his
death at IS he was feeble and sickly.
James Monroe was rather more
than six feet high, broad and square
shouldered and raw-boned." He was a
man of great physical strength, but
awkward in his movements.
John Quincy Adams bore a strong
personal resemblance to his father.
John Adams, although perhaps
little taller and a little more bald.
His successor, Andrew Jackson, had
the physical characteristics, but not
the mental, Of Thomas Jefferson. He
stood six feet one in his stocking feet,
and was very slender. Jackson's sue
cessor, Martin Van Buren,, was the
second of the little men to occupy the
presidential chair Little Van" was
the nickname his political enemies ap-
piled to him. He was below the mid
die height and slender, but erect. He
was fond of the elegancies of life, and
was always Immediately attired, a
trait which magnifed to the point Of
dandyism in his son, prince John"
William Henry Harrison was large

Do women hurt the church? He is
bold man who dares say so, yet here
are the words Of Rev. John Balloon
Shaw, of Chicago, in the columns of the
Homiletic Review: Men are natural
~ democratic. Left to themselves they
seldom draw sharp social lines or in
sist upon conventional distinctions.
What do we find in the one sphere
where the are supreme-the political
world: How much class distinction
exists there? Not so with women.
They are more gregarious, but at the
same time more conventional. Is not
fashion their standing determination at
this bar? If rich, they are the more
exclusive; if poor, the more sensitive.
Social lines existing in the world with
out they have extended into the sacred
Enclosure Of the church, until to-day
there is no more conventional body
among us than the well-to-do Christian
church. Nothing hurts us so much as
this one condition, and for it's exist
ence l hold our women almost eXclu-
sively responsible" Such reasoning
comes with shock to those who have
been brought up to believe that women
were the main support of the church,
that they carried it forward when men
were too lazy or too Indifferent and
that the church was purely democratic,
patterned after the universal brother
hood doctrines of Christ Yet, not so
long since, the wife Of one cabinet Of
ficer at Washington quarreled with the
wives of other officers over social pre-
cedence. The woman Of the tenement,
proud in possession Of a new feather
for her bonnet, boasts over. her next
door neighbor. Fond mothers approve
their children trying to establish a
secret society aristocracy in the public
schools Of Chicago. Is the church ex-
empt from human nature? If not,
then perhaps DR.. Shaw is right after
all, and another childhood illusion has

NEW LAW OF HEREDITY.
Certain Qualities Appear Incapable
of Destruction in Stock.

Certain Qualities Appear Incapable
of Destruction in Stock.
Some time ago an English scientist,
W, Beach Thomas, contributed to the
English press an article on Mendel's
great discovery concerning heredity in
plant and animal life. "The scientific
world" he said, sis on the point Of
giving full recognition to a new, strange
and deep-rooted law, and it is a salts
faction to know that in a few months
some Of the most striking of it's prac
teal results will be published by a
body Of English scientists"
Briefly, the law, which seems to
touch the ultimate mysteries of hered
ity, is this: When pure stock or strains
are crossed, it is found that a certain
list Of qualities remain, so to speak,
indestructible, and appear uncontami
mated in a definite proportion of the
offspring of all generations after the
first.
Some concrete examples will best
show the practical effect of the law,
says the Technical World Magazine
When the tall variety of sweet pea and
the short variety of sweet pea are
crossed, the first generation are all tall
Tallness is the dominant quality over
shortness, which is called recessive. But
in the second generation it is found
that just one-quarter are dwarf and
not only are they dwarf, but they will
remain pure dwarf, without any rever-
sion. and when crossed with dwarf will
never again show signs Of tallness. The
other three-quarters will be tall, and
Of these tall again just one-quarter will
be pure tall, and never again show
signs Of dwarfness. The remaining two
quarters will be impure, but again
when crossed with their like will give
both pure tails, pure dwarf and mon
grels in due proportion So that we
find in all grandchildren, so to speak.
Of pure strains, the proportion 1921
has mystic application-that is, one
quarter of these grandchildren will he
exact or pure reproductions in one quail
ity of their grandmother, one-uuarter
will be pure reproductions Of their
grandfather, and two-quarters, though
resembling one grandparent, will have
latent in them the qualities of both.

to bring his friends as he would. The
mother, having explained affairs clear
~, told the children that they could
invite their friends as they had always
done, but to very simple meals, with
NO desserts and meat but once a day,
or they could have the usual table and
no friends. The children decided
unanimously for their friends. Such
a family will master the fine art OF
living under any conditions "Yes'm,
tits So" a poor woman is said to have
explained to a friend. Il believe in
economizing as much as any one, but
