THE FATHER'S AGE.
LATE MARRIAGES.
A curious controversy is going on in the London Press regarding the desir ability of late marriages based on an American statistician's investigation. It is summed up in the Times thus:- Young fathers may beget prite-fighters, vamobifold fathers may beget brains.

In other words the American statist
claims that middle-aged and elderly fathers produce the largest proportion of children who become famous, *-*
The Times says that investigation carried out in England produce ambignons results due to the fact that the age of famous men's fathers bas largely escap ed the attention of their biographers. Thus Audubon, Cuvier, Franklin, Glad stone, Humbolt, Samuel Johnson, Lord Kitchener, Sir Walter Scott and Wag ner had fathers over forty; while the fathers of Browning, Darwin, Disraeli, Faraday, Goethe, Kelvin, Macaulay, Napoleon, Nelson, Ruskin and Toltstol were under that age."
SECRET OF YOUTH.
ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO DO WELL AT LAWN TENNIS.
Apparently the secret of keeping youth- ful is to play all the year round in lawn tennis tournaments.
Mrs. O'Neill, now playing in the North London Championship meeting at Stam ford Hill, is not far short of 60, but she is still as active as ever and playing like a girl of 20 She plays-both sum- mer and winter, and goes 'on from one tournament to another
Practically every day the scores vic- tortes over strong club players whom she can give nearly 40 years. Recently she won the Open Singles at Edmonton
Another woman player at Stamford Hill who has discovered in lawn, tennis the same secret of youth is Lady Waver tree, who was well-known years ago in the tournament world as Mr Hall Walkar. She can concede 30 years or more to an opponent and still win.
Mr. Roper Barrett and Mr. A. W. Gore, the ex-champion; both over 50, were polishing off youthful opponents without the slightest difficulty
SOME OF THE PRETTIEST SIGHTS IN LONDON,
We were talking about London. It is a good subject.
What is the prettiest sight in Lon- don?" someone had asked, and we were discussing it, cach, naming his choice.
"The prettiest sight in London?".
1. said. "Why, a string of hay barges being towed up the river by a tug at six o'clock on a fine afternoon. Seen from the Em bankment somewhere about Cleopatra's Needle, or from Westminster Bridge look- ing east."
They agreed that that was a good sight, and we passed on to the next opinion. This was the lady's in the grey hat. "The most beautiful sight in London in sum- mer," she said, is the sky above the Court of Honour at the White City just after the lamps are lit. It is the deepest, richest, intensest blue you ever dreamed of. There are many lovely intense blues-- the blue of the peacock, the blue of the kingfisher, the blue of a Persian tile, the blue of a Rhodian plate-but this is the most wonderful of all.”
We agreed again; but an objection was lodged by the author of the debate. "Not a beautiful sight," he said, ““ but a pretty right is what we want. You fly too high. Lootlon so full of beauty that we must discuss that later. Just now we are after pretty things only. Next, please.'
The journalist came next. To me," he said, “there is nothing prettier than the pigeons at the Museum soaring round and embarrassing a little girl with a bag of corn-cspecially if you see them a you go in with the darkness of the portico for a background. That is pretty, if you
