Inherited Tricks.

The inheritance of tricks of habit is one of
the most perpleXing of all the phenomena of
heredity., The less striking the habit the more

that he knew man who, when he lay on his
pa back, was wont to throw his right leg across

cause. Sometimes it was repeated inces-
sanity for an hour or more. The gentlemln's
nose was prominent, and its bridge often be-
came sore from thu, blows which it received:
At one time an awkward sore was produced
that was long in healing, on account of tn,
recurrence, night after night, of the blows
which first caused it. His wife had to remove
the button from the wrist of his nj yht- gown,
as il made severe scratches, and some m cans
were attempted of tying his arm. Many years
after his death, his son married lady who
had never heard of the family incident. She
however, observed precisely the same pecu

being particularly prominent, has never as
