Beecher, and his mother. the daughter
Of S5-year-old John Lyman, while Ma
thanicls father, Joseph Beeeher, was
SO when Nathaniel was born. Henry
Ward Beecher's mother was Roxanna
Fo0te, Is when he was born, the
daughter OF Eli Foote at 30, who was
the son Of 25-year-old Nathaniel
Foote.
In the Adams family the rule holds
true. Joseph Adams, seventh son,
was rs when his son Joseph was born.
The latter was 3S when his son
Deacon" John Adams was born The
Deacon was 43 when his son President
John Adams was born. The latter
was 32 at the birth Of John Quincy
Adams, and John Quincy was 40 when
Charles Francis Adams was born.
And the Lee family. Richard Lee,
the younger or youngest son of
numerous house." was al when his son
Thomas was born. Thomas was AZ
when his son Richard Henry was born,
"a when Francis Lightfoot was born,
and 80 when Arthur was born,
Henry Lee was 3S when his son
Henry was born; the latter was 27
when his son, Colonel Henry ('Iight-
horse Harry") was born; and the coll
onel was 81 at the birth of his most
famous son, Robert +, Lee.
In Royal Families
The Lincoln family shows a similar
condition. Abraham Lincoln was the
son of a 3l-year-old father, who was
the son Of 45-year-old father Nancy
Hanks, Lincoln's mother was the
daughter of a 40-year-old father, who
was the youngest son Of a 41-year-old !
man, and Of a mother who was the |
youngest of the numerous children of
Robert Shipley.
When we come TO royal families, in
which Of course the dates of births and
deaths are matters of exact and easily |
verified record, the subject is compli-
Gated by the fact tha. it is the oldest |
son who succeeds TO the throne, and
often he shines in glory that is
merely reflected, due to no brilliance |
Of his own, but entirely to that of the
statesmen by whom he is surrounded,
while his younger and perhaps more
Intellectually accomplished brothers
are eclipsed by the effulgence of the
,rowned head Of the family and sci.
iom have an opportunity to show what
s really in them. But there are strik-
ng cases in which the younger chill
iren of kings have pushed to the front
md made themselves names that ring
oud through ages.
Such a case is that of Queen Eliza
,eth, daughter of Henry VIII by Anne
}oleyn, born when her father was AZ
ears old. And the brilliance of Eliza
,eth's reign was by no means entirely
lue to her ministers or TO the excep-
ionally great Englishmen who were
Ter contemporaries. /

TOYS for the Sick Child.

It is difficult to keep the sick child en-
tertained. Especially when convalescenee
starts in the task is trial to nurse or
mother. For the child that is i'll dislikes
to stay in bed unless it is too i'll to care
about anything.
A supply of toys is, of course, a great
aid in making the hours of convaiescence
pleasant to children, Many gifts OF toys
were solicited and received by the hos
pitfalls in the cities where infantile pa
ralysis made such big inroads last sum
mer, for the hospital authorities realized
that convalescence passes much more
pleasantly and perhaps more quickly to
the child that is happily engaged with
toys.
If you are buying toys for child that
is i'll remember first that they must be
simple. Nothing complicated or too ex-
citing must be chosen. For excitement
is bad for anybody who is not in the
best health.
For the little girl well along in con-
valescence, the girl of six or over, paper
dolls are delight. Hours can be passed

The high heeled shoe is responsible for

unused soup tureen. The plan OF placing

please do not smile!-told me the
way: Take the paper off the can until
YOU find the seam on one side. Lay the
can horizontally and beginning at this
seam, insert the opener at the extreme
edge of the circumference OF the can top;
then proceed to cut, gradually fitting
the can so as to avoid spilling the con-
tents. This way requires less pressure
and is less likely to cause the opener to
slip.
Grabbing knives hastily from drawers
is another cause of sliced fingers. If
each knife has special pocket in which
it can be hung up, there will be less
danger of careless handling. Safety for
the hands is desirable and the use OF
various kinds of gloves, especially when
cleansing the toilet, etc, will prevent
the hands from becoming infected in any
way. The workings of meat choppers,
washing machines and other more com
plicated appliances should be thoroughly
understood by the worker and protected
