The commercial life of England pog- sesses Lin aristocracy of which many families can trace an unbroken deSCt'lll at: heads of famous ilflsinuss lionsf‘s through several generations, says Lon- don Answers. The, well-known firm of publishers. Longinans, Green & (0,, for instance, was founded as long ago as Hill by ’l‘hoiiias Longinan, and a Loiigiiian has been at its head ever since, the present head of tlie firm~ Mr. Thomas N. Long,- inanwbcing the, sixth of his line. 'llle founder was succeeded by his nephew, Thomas l/illgllltln, in 1755, who was fol~ lowed by his son, Thomas Norton Long- iiian, in 1797; after whom came the lat- ter‘s younger son William in 1824, fol- lowed by William's elder brother 'l‘liom- a: in 1877; and, lastly, tiie present head, who succeeded to the management of affairs in 1870. it will be noticed that, in the most. blue-blooded manner, every head but one has been christened Thomas. The office of this firm today cecupics the site it did at its birth nearly two hundred years agoâ€"with additions, of courseâ€"and from the outset has constantly used its Sign of the ship. \VlEIDERS O’F Till-3 HAMMER. Very nearly as good is the record of the 'l‘atfersalis, the famous house auc- tioneers. Founded in 1766 by llicherd 'l‘atlcrsallâ€"known as “Old Tatt”â€"1t soon became the greatest business of its kind in the world. At his death in 1795 his son Edmund took his place, and was followed in 1811 by his son Richardâ€" kiiown as “Old Dick." The latter’s sonâ€" known as “Young,r Dick"â€"becaiiie head in 1850, and continued to rule until 1870, when a cousin, Edmund, succeeded, at whose death in 1898 his schâ€"also Ed- llllllltlâ€"fOllO\Vt‘.tl, and still conducts the business. Six successive Taftersalls have thus wielded the hammer in the rostrum, three of whom were Richards and three Edmunds. The business has always been in London. *"’ For about one hundred and fifty years the faintly of Fry has carried on in Bristol the great cocoa business bearâ€" ing its name. l’cur successive members -â€"all Josephsâ€"in direct descent, have conducted it throughout that periodâ€"the - feunder, Joseph Fry, from about 1760 to 1 Ill) death in 1737; his son Joseph to 1835; the second Joseph's son Joseph un- til 1886; and that Joseph‘s son Joseph from that date up to the present. THE LONG LINE OF “THE TIMES." “The Times" is one of the greatest newspapers in the world. it was started in 1875 by John Walter, and four suc- cessive Walters have owned it in the hundred and twentyodd years of its ex- istence. The founder died in 1812, and left it to his son John Walter, who also bequeathed it to his son, another John Walter, in 18/17. This gentleman was chief until 189/}, when his son,‘l\fr. Ar- thur Walter, succeeded him, and is still the chief at Printing House Square. A noted publishing house is that of John Murray, the publisher of “The Quar- terly Review." It was founded in 1768 by John Mae.\furray, and has always be- longed to his talented family. His son, who tonk his place in 1793, dropped the "Mac," became John Murray, and man- aged affairs until 1843, when his son John Murray succeeded him, to be fol- lowed by John Murray of the next gen- eration in 1892. Mr. Murray‘s room at the flnn‘s oiliees in Albemarle Street is a most historic one. adorned with por- traits of men famous in literature who have there met his ancestors. The Coulis family have been at the head of the best-known private bank in England for a century and a half. 't‘hoinas Coutts started Coutts’ Bank in 1760. who married Sir Francis Burdett, fol- lewed him in 1922, and Sir Francis's daughter, beloved by all as the Baroness Bui‘dett-Couthâ€"being made a peeress in her own rightâ€"became the chief owner in 1844 until her death not Joni.r ago, when her husband, Mr. Bm-detbCoutts. inherited her interests. Another old bankini:v family is that of the (taxes, the Army agents. Richard fox founded the bank in 1785, and five generations of the family have held the reins since then. the present head being Mr llubert Arthur Cox. -‘ A PERENNIAI. TRIO. The family record of the heads at the brewery- firm of Baiclay, t’earkins & (10., is unique. In 1781 David Barclay bought the Anchor Brewery. and took as his partner John Perkins and Sylvanus Be- !rnn, and twin that day there has al- ways been a Barclay. a Perkins, and a Bevan concerned in the management, each family having been represented through four generations. The firm has been established where it is in South- ,wark for over two hundred years. The firm of booksellers and news~ agents \V. ll.

Wisdom is the jewel of great price dug from the mire of failures and loss- es Some penile seem unable to under- stand that religion is more than say- mg over the creed. There is plenty of goodness in this world' if humanin would just stop hunting for wickedness. The penalty of greatness is that you have to give your past to your enemies for dissection. Sometimes a woman proves her fit- ness for politics by making a man think he wants to marry her. it is funny to see the effort some. people make to look perfectly happy and contented.

A young ofllcer. riding through a Scotch village one day in fiiil uniform and mounted on a splendid horse, was niuen annoyed by a lad following him along the. street.
