Darwin on ConsanguineOus Marriages

In letter to the London Academy,
George Darwin, son of the great scientist,
says:
My father has now been carrying on
experiments for about nine years on the
crossing Of plants, and his results appear
to him absolutely conclusive as to the
advantages of cross fertilization to plants;
although as the investigation is as yet
unpublished, Mr.. Huth, of course, could
not be aware of this. Now, all modern
biological research points to the legiti-
macy of arguing by analogy between
forms even as distinct as animals and
plants, and accordingly the fair deduction
to be made from this inquiry will be, that
what is good or bad for plants is the same
for mankind and animals But this
purely scientific point stands rather apart
from what is in fact the main practical
question at issue, viz: Is cOnsanguineOus
marriage, to the extent to which it is now
practiced by civilized nations, detri
mental, and is the detriment so great as
to justify legislative interference? Mr..
Huth himself must be forced to admit
that it must be to some extent detri-
mental from the multiplication of identi-
cal pathological germs, and from the fact
that no man knows with certainty until
towards the end of life what ills may lie
hidden in his edition of the family con-
stitution; but by his work he makes a
good case for the opinion that the evil
seems thus far practically small, and that
legislative interference is so far unCalled
for; and this opinion my own recent in
quiry confirms.

Tricks OF Speech.

Nothing is easier to acquire, nothing
more difficult to lose, than a trick of
speech and MANNER; and nothing is more
universal If We look round among our
friends and acquaintance we shall find
scarcely one who has not his favorite
word, his perpetual formula, his auto
matte action, his unmeaning gestures
all tricks caught probably when young,
and, by not being corrected then, next to
impossible to abolish now. Who does
not know the familiar d" l say" as the
preface to every remark ?-and the still
more familiar ''you know" as the middle
term of every sentence? Who, too, in
these latter times, hos not suffered from
the affiiction of lawful" and "iolly -
milestOnes in the path of speech inter-
spersed with even uglier and more Obtru-
sivr signs of folly and corrupt dictiOn-
milestOnes that are forever turning up,
showing the successive distances to which
good taste and refinement have receded
IN this hideOus race after slang to which
our youth is given. Then there are the

these eiaculatory people are always in
state of surprise. They go through the
world in unending astonishment; and
their appeals to their goodness and that
indeterminate quantity called good gra-
cious are incessant. In the generation
that died with the fourth George the
favorite CALCULATIONS were "By Jover'
and by Georgew with excursions into
the region of "Gadr' and "By iingop'
Before then we had the bluff and lusty
squires who rejoiced in Odsbodikins'
and ''Zouhds," with other strange and
uhcouth oaths that were not meant to
offend the hearers, but were simply tricks
of speech caught by the speakers. So,
indeed, is the habit of swearing and using
bad words generally. 1t is emphatically
a habit, trick Of speech, meaning for
the most part no more than the Good

The Turning Tide.

1t is noted as a significant fact that the
southern and western merchants now
crowding into New York for fall pur-
chases, almost universally take q more
favorable view of affairs than they find
existing in that city. The United States
Economist says they all report that busi-
ness in their districts is active; that the
crops are abundant, and that the plant
ers and farmers are in a more favorable
condition for supplying themselves with
the commodities Of which they stand in
so much need. And they afford the best
possible evidence of their views by'pur-
chasing with a freedom and liberality
that affords assurance of an active trade
just as soon as the crops begin to move
forward freely An impression also be
gins to prevail that the less favorable con-
ditiOn of affairs in the northern manu-
facturing states is more apparent than
real. When the crops in the other parts
of the country begin to move forward,
orders will pour into the factories from
all parts of the country to supply the
demand for agricultural utensils, cloth
ing, and household goods generally. The
manufacturers as a rule were never in a
better position to take advantage of any
Improvement that may take place in bus
iness. In this connection the following
remarks of the Economist indicates that
northern manufacturers begin to realize
that protection" is not without its
awbacks:
1t is significant fact that the chief
complaints of bad business come from
what are known as "the protected in
dustries," those which enjoyed the high
est bounty of the government now MAX
ing the most complaints, and in fact suf-
fering most severely. This is especially
the case with the iron trade, which has
been benefited to the amount of scores
of millions of dollars a year by federal
legislation. 1t exhibits least vitality and
energy.-NashviIe american.

The Sort of Revival That is Needed.

We need a revival that is not only a
revival of sOunder scriptural preaching
but revival of true Christian living
We have had quite a surteit of the re-
ligiOn which luXuriates in the devOut
fervOrs of the prayer-rneeting and the
camp-ground, which sings sweet hymns
and applauds sweet sermons, and then
goes straight off to its mOney-grasping
and its pleasure-seeking, and its pander-
ings to self and sin. God forbid that we
speak lightly of true spiritual emotion.
But the Christianity which Christ de-
mands is something deeper than song
or sermon or a sacrament. 1t Is the holy
and the humble imitation of himself.
The revival, then, which we need is a
revival of the religion which keeps Gods
commandments; which tells the truth
and sticks TO its promises which pays
twenty shillings to the pound; which
cares more for a good character than a
fine coat which votes at the ballOt-boX
in the same direction that it prays;
which denies ungodly lusts Of tempta-
tion. A revival which will swceten our
homes, and chasten our press, and purify
our politics, and cleanse our business and
commerce from roguery and rotteness,
would be a boon from heaven. A revi-
val which will bring not only a Bible
knowledge but Bible conscience to all
is what the land is dying for. The
worlds sorest want to-day is more Christ
like men and women. The preaching it
needs is-mOre sermons in shoes.

Eli. After a long and tedious march
they came upon the enemy in the neigh
borhood of where Metropolis city, ILL.,,
now stands A fnr'ens battle Was fought,
In whlth the attacking party, headed by
young Wallahalla, dealt death and de-
structiOn to their foe until the ammuni-
ton was exhausted. At thia hi0inent
the enemy was Reinforced, and the attack
ing party was compelled to retire across
the Ohio. The father Of Agnes Robert
son was almost crazed with grief at the
loss of his beloved daughter. In his great
aGohv lie published to the troops the fol-
lowing announcement:
81, Andrew Robertson. viii give 10
the rescuer Of my daughter from the
hahds of the Iowas her hand in marriage,
1000 acres of land, 100 head of cattle
and horses, 100 pounds of powder, and
two rifles" ANDREW REBERTs0N.
Twenty men, warriors and rihemen,
among them Wallahalla, stepped forward
and rendered their services. The girl
herself was fortune to any man. The
parent and his trusty friends, with the
exception of those who were to 90 in
pursuit of the Iowas in search of Agnes
Robertson, returned to the settlement on
Little river, near the place now known
as Cadiz, in Tfigg county, KY, to rebuild
ther huts and the stockade which the In
dians had destroyed. Wallahalla separ--
ated himself from both parties, and by a
ctrcuitOus route wended his way to the
cavern in search of his beloved Agnes,
whom he found In almos. a starving con-
diti0n. The full moon saone forth in all
its splendOr on the night of the 25th of
May as they rose to the surface of the
water and entered their canoe to return
TO the arms of the lovely Agnes parents,
nd receive the reward and a blessing.
Their advent into the settlement on the
following morning was an occasion for
great rejoicing. Feasting and dancing
We're the order for several weeks, and the
young chief Wallahalla was the toast of
the country for miles around. He was
the recipient of presents of land, horses,
cattle, skins, etc, to a larger extent than
any man living since the foundation of
the world. OF the nineteen men who
stepped forward to offer their services to
Andrew Robertson, not one returned to
give in his experience, and the general
impression existed at that time that they
were either tOmahawked or burnt at the
stake. Wallahalla married and changed
his name to Robertson. Many of his
descendants lived in the neighbOrhood of
what is now known as Crittenden county
and Trigg county, KY, till about the
year 1918, when they removed to Eastern
Georgia.
