Family Traits.

You hear great deal Of scientific
talk about family traits" appearing
in young people after the ancestors
who had these traits have been dead
many years. There was once a great
;shipbuilder named Steers, who built
the yacht America, which won the cup
from England many years ago. He
had shipyard in Manhattan. His
son became a Judge, and never made
ships, but his sons son, however,
though he studied law, could design
and white out the best toy boats
going. Yet the lawyer never had any
practice in carpentering, nor had his
daughter, who could handle knife
like a master. She made a speciality
Of music, and could play the violin
and the piano, but she and her father
had both Of them inherited the knack
Of designing and modelling from their
ancestors.

40 per cent The average wage of the
100000 train service employees in 1914
was $1,253; Of the other 1881 900 en-
ployees $6S7. The contrast between
the wages Of the train service EN-.
ployees and those Of train dispatchers
and telegraph operators, station agents
and section foremen is especially strik.
ing The working day Of dispatchers
and operators Is limited to nine hours
by federal law, but that of station
agents and section foremen Is ten

in readiness for duty at any time.
