Hall acted on the advice, sent his model to America, and wont on making more nifnlature trains. Four months elapsed before he heard any- thing from the American builders, Then he received a letter offering him a post as designer to the Arm at $80 a. week if he would go out fet once. lie went out, and proved hinae self a valuable acquisition to the second largest firm of railway -coach , builders in the United Statee. By occupying his spare moments only in this way he raised himself from $235 to over $1.,000 a year, and did it in TeNDER TWO YEARS. For some years, the Great Western Railway Company had in its em- ploy n signalman, named James Cooker, whose duty it was to at- tend to the signals oe a particularly (inlet branch line, Cooker objected to the idleness which seemed to be forced noon him during his "shift" in his lonely little signal box, and being naturally industrious, he set to work to fill in his spare time by educating himself. When he knew all he 'thought he could teach him - sell', he joined some correspondence educational classes, and evert turned his attention to Latin and Greek. After a time, however, he gave up the dead language and took up French instead. Alone in his little box, doing his duty to his employers to the letter, Cooker worked hard at his studies, and progressed so well that in a few years' thne he found 'himself in a Bristol coal office, earning $10 a week, instead of being in a signal - box earning $6.50. During a period of two years, as vacancies occurred, he moved up stage by stage uneil he became Manager of the office and the receiver of a salary amounting to 81,300 per annum. The head of a firm of advertising agents who do a big business in sending out company prospectuses and are:dare, inforneed the writer that some of their most regular envelope addressers were signalinen, who were glad to all in their empty hours on duty by addressing en- velopes and wrappers at so much per thousand; and, although not a very remunerative occupation, the work, if systematically done, ma- terially increased their earnings. Strictly speaking, signalmen are not allowed to take up any occuna- tion during their duty hours, but when e. man is in charge of a box Passed by very littIe traffic, and he Proves himself to be a reliable ser- vant, no one says much if he turns his SPARE MOMENTS TO PROFIT ; indeed, when a man ex:de be can make nearly as much money by us- ing instead of wasting his leisure, his temptations to risk consequences are not It was by running such risks that O signalman on the Caledonian Rail- way followed an occupation . which brought about a remarkable im- provement in his earnings. Ile had a taste for inventing improvementS on anything which seemed to him to Cull for improvement, end during Ids Idle hours of duty he used to =Use hinmeit by making models of his „inventions. To do this he neces- sarily had e quantity of tools In his box, and one day he was detected by an official wbo told him flatly he would lose his place it the practice of constructing models during duty hours were not edlscontlimed. Prom that time torward he Was More secret in his labors, but he eoneinued turning out queetionable improvements on dozens et different articles for the real lore of work.

The figures here given represent the eVerage of over 1,000 ceses, and hence would soul to point to a gen- eral law. It may be added that the particular persons under investigoe :Leon belonged to the Society of friends. That organization placed its recorde at the disposal of Miss Beaton and Prof. Pearson. 'It thus appears that the average age of the elder brothers was 58.56 years, the younger brothers 54.575, the elder sisters 59.92a and the younger sisters .55.637. There is a difference of over four Years in favor of the older brother or sister. . This does not signify that the older bro- ther or sister will survive the young- er. The mean interval between the births of all members of 0,1 1 the pairs under consideration Was about six and a half years. Mence the older brother or sister would ordinarily die first, though attaining a greater age. "The first inquiry here mentioned was limited to pairs, the volinger members of winch had attained the age of at least 21. A second come Parlson was made that included Min- ors with adults. It gave results closely resembling the other. The mean excess of lire in 8,855 pairs was 4.6 years. 13ut the interval leo- tween the birth appears to exert some influence. Diometrikci's con- tributors furnish a formula by which one's expectations can be computed and adds: 'Thus a brother born 10 years before another brother has probably seven years' greater dura- tion of life.
