COOK; FAMOUS FOR

Thomas Davey Genius o

He Specialized in English Beef and

Reputation.

London.-Thomas Davey, the man
who had cooked the roast beef of old
England for over forty-seven years at
Stmpsonin-the-Stra London, has
passed away. His death caused gen.
house where he had been so long a
conspicuous figure and will have been
received with regret by large num-
ber of people in the states who made

seeing Davey when in London.
Davey was man who became ia.

death was recognized as the leading
exponent of purely English cookery.
English cookery, mark you," as
Davey would have said, none of your
new-fangled French fal-de-lals." 1t was
as much his boast that he knew moth.

justifiable claim that he knew all there
was to be known about English. q
And his contempt for French cook

roasting and boiling. He used to say
that he had never cooked sirloin by
any other means than the open roast.

Simpsons kitchens talking to visitor
he would give an affectionate glance
at the sizzling joints in front of 1t

Simpsons in the Strand, where
Davey served so long, dates its repu.

Century, and the memories of many
celebrities cling round it from then
onward. But probably the place never

times, and the old house was one Of

A MoTHER,e INQUIRY

A young mother who has seen the
best parents succeeded by children
whose wayward, froward and wasted
lives reflected no one Of the good
qualities in either father or mother,
anxiously inquiries as to modern train
ing and teaching on heredity and en-
vironment Nas hfe-making and life
forming characters. Is the failure OF
parents, whose lives are trustworthy
to have parents that follow their own
courses, due to their lack OF skill in
training their own children or are chill
dren unaffected in their descent by
the lives that have gone before?
No direct and categorical answer
can be given to this inquiry. Science
is still uncertain how far the traits
of parents are transmitted to their
offspring. Forty years ago, when the
influence of Darwin was all-powerful,
heredity was accepted as the master
key. From fifteen to thirty years ago,
the tendency of science, under the
teaching of Weismann, was to mini
mize heredity and to assert that moth.
ing which the parent acquired was
transmitted. To-day scientific opinion
moves toward the acceptance OF both
heredity and environment as working
together; but the former less than the
latter.
Among human beings, where the
family exercises an influence out Of
all proportion, greater than any possi-
BILE parental care in the lower crea-
ton, environment exercises great
er influence than mere heredity. II
one sift the work Of the past ten years,
particularly the studies, records and
discussion by men like Francis Galton
and Karl Parsons, the evidence seems
to indicate that ability and physical
characteristics are transmitted not
merely from the parents, but from the
larger past. Roughly speaking, in
Prof. Pearson's view, on the average,
and with exceptions, of what is trans.
mitted to children, half comes from
the immediate parents, quarter from
the grandparents, four in number, and
another quarter from earlier ances-
tors.
But there is a difference between
mentality and physique and character.
Character is not wholly, but in great
measure, developed after birth. 1t is
the work and product of training. The
children of the able, the gifted, the
benevolent and the advantaged who
fail, fail usually in character and not
in native ability. Often they are as
able as their parents, but lack in char.
acter, and this lack is but too often
due to the failure of parents engrossed
in business, in benevolence, in good
works, in professional life or in af
fairs-even one may add, in religion
itself-to give their children the pa
tient time needed for training.
Every mother may rest certain that
the character her children rests in
the hands of it's parents-for both IA
ther and mother are needed-and that
heredity at this point is secondary,
provided personal care is given and
watch kept for those physical defects
which 80 often derange the temper
and will of children, and which can
all be remedied If taken early.
