WHY SOME CHILDREN FAIL TO RESEMBLE THEIR PARENTS

'Like begets like" is common expression. It is all that we usually mean when we talk about heredity. But like does not always produce like.
 Take the race of the chickens called the Blue Andalusian, and you have a clear case of what really hap pens in heredity. Breed two of these blue chickens together, and only half the breed will be blue. The other half will be made up of white chickens and black chickens. In other words, like has produced like in only half the children.
 Now take one of these black chick ems and breed him to another black one, and all the children will be black; breed white one tosanother white one, and all the children will be white. But breed a black to a white, and the children will resemble neither parent: they will be blue like their grandparents.
 Every human being is blue An dalusian; that is to say, a mongrel. He is a combination of many differ ent kinds of ancestors, just as the blue Andalusian is a combination of white ancestors and black ancestors. And, just as only half the children of the blue Andalusian resemble their parents, the other half taking after their grandparents, so children may, instead of resembling to a grand parent or even a more remote an cestor.
 It was Gregor Mendel, an Angus. tinian monk of Brunn, Austria, who first found all this out. Fifty years ago he was experimenting with the common garden pea. He found that when he crossed a tall race of peast with a dwarf race the offspring o1 the first generation were all tall, no medium in height, as we might ex pect; the fact that they had dwar

OLSON IS ADJUDGED
 INSANE BY JURYMEN

Charles Olson was taken into GUS tody last week on the charge of be- ing of unbalanced mind, and was pronounced insane by a jury, at a hearing held before Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald on Saturday afternoon. The complaint was worn to by friends of the unfortunate man, that action having been taken in order that he might be provided with proper at tention. Olsen will be taken to Fairbanks immediately by Deputy Marshal John Wood and sent from taht town to Morningside at teh first opportunity
 Olson imagines that he is an ob- ject of suspicion and that people are accusing him of the perpetratior of certain crimes which have been committed here and elsewhere during tn past several months. According to Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, his par ticular affliction is paranoia.

ENGLISH WOMEN ID BE ALLOWED
 NEW PRIVILEGE
Oldtime Custom of Limiting View of Statesmen Reiegated to
 the Background.

English women are to be allowed to an unobstructed view of the pro- ceedings in the house of commons. The famous iron grill through which they were formerly permitted to peer at the backs of the heads of Great Britain's statesmen, is being torn down, and a part of it will be placed in the British Museum as a curiosity.
 The proposal to admit women to the house of commons was first made in 1886, when the houses of parli- ment were reconstructed. Lord John Russel, leader of the house, opposed the radical move, and for time held up the privelege. A petition presented with a bit of silver plate won the point, and the harem-like ladies' gallery was built.
 Before that women were some times smuggled in to hear their hus- bands speak. The place in which they were usually hidden then was small, dark ventilator chamber in the roof. There Mrs. Disraeli and Mrs. Gladstone heard their husbands and there Elizabeth Fry listened to many debates on prison reform. A. mistake of Daniel O'Connel caused the abandonment of the cubbyhole He had placed his wife there, and after one of his brilliant speeches rushed to receive her congratula- tions. Seeing a woman in the half darkness, he seized her in his arms and, to his horror, found that he had kissed the Dowager Duchess of Rich mond, a powerful figure in Great Britain's petticoat politics.
 Some of the legislators objected to the ladies' gallery, on the ground that the presence of women would distract their thoughts from affairs of state. Privately, they told Grant 1 ley Berekley that the real trouble was that jealous wife could so easily find out whether her husband was on the benches. Berekley sug- gestd that "study in the library would be an adequate alibi, and added:
 "You see, you can do 'em yet.'

parent was entirely concealed or dominated" by the one tall parent. When he bred together these hybrid tails, there were dwarfs among the progeny and the proportion of tails to dwarfs was almost exactly three to one. The dwarfness of the grand parent had been hidden for one gen. eration, only to appear again in the children.
 It is highly probable that the same thing often takes place with us human folk. In some cases a good trait from one parent will dominate a less favorable one from the other. Sometimes a child will look like its mother and behave like it's father. In other cases the good and bad traits of either or both parents will be hidden for a generation, only to appear in the next. In some for tunate persons the favorable traits of the parents combine, in others the unfavorable; but it is happy law that to most of us a general assortment of qualities is meted out
 Mendel's discovery turned the mystery of heredity into an exact science. Its practical as well as its scientific value is tremendous; for not only is the wizardlike genius of Burbank and other plant breeders due to their use of the Mendelian principle, but throughout we are led to clearer understanding of the de- velopment of man and the import ance to our children and our child. ren's children of what we are today

IT PAYS TO WEAR GOOD
 CLOTHES.

Lincoln once remarked to a friend that he never felt his own utter worthlessness so much as when in the presence of a hotel clerk or a waiter His whole early careers was marked by a failure to value him self highly enough; he felt often ill at ease and inferior in the company of men to whom he was in every sense superior.
 It would be interesting to deter mine how much of this self-depre- citation was due to the unfavorable impression that Lincoln often made upon those who saw him for the first time, says Alonzo Rothschild, in Honest Abe" "He probably had as little taste about dress and attire as anybody that ever was born, ' writes an attorney who saw him of ten in those days. "He simply wore clothes because it was needful and customary. When I saw him first, his hat was innocent of nay. His boots had no acquaintance with backing. His clothes had not been introduced to a whisk-broom. His carpet-bag was we'll worn and dilapi- | dated. His umbrella was substantial, but of faded green, well worn, the
 knob gone, and the name "A. Lincoln
 cut out of white muslin and sewed
 in the inside"
 In spite of all this, Lincoln made
 his success. Yet it was an undoubted
 handicap in the early days. On one
 occasion, when his partner, Major
 John T. Stuart, could not attend a trial and sent Lincoln to represent
 the firm, the client, John w. Bad
 deley, "gave one glance at the letter
 and one at the ungainly, i'll dressed bearer of it. That man who pre-.
 sented so unpromising an appearance
 should come offering to be his rep resentative in the august precincts
 of the law irritated him beyond
 measure. He dicharged volley o1
 abuse at the astonished Lincoln, pait
 his respect in similar terms to Johr
 T Stuart, and straightway hired an other lawyer, James A. McDougall , to defend the suit.
