That genius is usually inherited from parents of middle age and seldom by eldest children is the view that Dr. Louise G, Babinovitch, of New York, sought to prove at the recent International Congress on Paychiatry at Amsterdam. From the biographies of 42 grest writers and poets, she found that only 6 were the eldest children of 17 platers, only was the first-born of his mother; and of 15 musicisu,kong and Whampoa Dock Company Shares sold but 2 were first-born, "The man and women of genius, moreover, have been almost always the youngest or post to the youngest of the family. Coleridge, Washington, Tering, Daniel Webster, Rembrandt, Rabens, Richard Wagner, and Mozart were esph the last of six to thirtess children; Benjamin Franklin, the last of seven teen and last-born of the i-horn for several generations: Schumann, the last of five; George Eliot, the last of four; Basic, the last of three; Napoleon, the eighth and probably the last; Joshua Reynolds, the seventh; Edwin Lindseer, the fifth, of seven J, Fatmire, Cooper, the eleventh of twelve; Schuber, the thirteenth of fourteen.

The intelligent coupeliton that would result old not only increase the forest ares, but would lead to greater production per acre, and doubtless to improvement in the free varieties grows for timber and speciuj purposes.
