BIBLES FOR INAUGURATION.

Washington, Feb. lS.-Whether
the fact that President-elect Wilson

this faculty. In a recent murder case.

ness gave 1t In her evidence that she
was sure tragedy was about to hap

Cats possessing this popularity are

certain OF the superstitions respecting

From this 1t does not follow that the
person who sees the cat is going to

it is in connection with the latter that
the spirit of the grave is present, EN-

ton the cat. which has been given the
psychic faculty of smell that it might
be so used.
But although | regard this theory

of argument, see no reason why cats
should not prognosticate good as well

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Feb. IS
DR.. James Monroe Taylor, whose
resignation as president OF Vassar
College was announced today, main
tains strict silence as to his reason;
for wishing to quit and his silence
has led to the belief that he is not
entirely satisfied with his position
or has had a misunderstanding with
the board OF trustees.
A member of the board denied to-
night that Dr. Taylors resignation
was the result of any friction, but
declined to say whether the resig-
nation contained any stipulations.
DR.. Taylor has been president of the

Extreme Preeoelty.

that extreme precocity being in the

ties hold that in q highly precocious

often the case. unduly stimulated IL
there is any desire that tie child live
TO maturity. The annals of precocity
present go more remarkable instance
than the brief career Of Christian
Heinecker born at Lubbock. February
6. 1921. At 10 months he could repeat
every word said to him: at l2 months
he knew by heart all the principal
events told in the five books OF Moses.
In his second year he learned the
greater part of the history in both the
Old and New Testaments. In his third
year he learned to speak Latin and
French. In his fourth year he made a
study Of religion and was able not only
TO repeat all he had read. but to ex-
press his own judgment upon it. He
was taken to the court at Copen-
hagen and proclaimed a wonder. He
then learned to write, but his consti-
tuition being weak he fell Ill and died
on June q, 1925. when little more
than 4 years old. which should be q
