Heredity Of Beauty.

Mr.. Darwin believes that the general beauty
OF the Englishupper class, and especially hat
of the titled aristocracy, is probably due to
their constant selection of the most beautiful
women of all classes (peeresses, actresses, or
wealthy bourgeoises) as wives, through an
immense number of generations. The regular
features and compilations of the mothers are
handed down by heredity to their descendants.
Similarly, it would seem that we must account
for the high average of personal beauty among
1.-The ancient Greeks and modern Italians by
the high average of general taste, the strong
love of the beautiful diffused among all
classes in both those races. The prettier
women and the handsomer men would stand
a better chance of marrying, other things
equal, and of handing down their refined
type and figure to their children. If this be
so-the evolutionists, at least, can hardly
to find the general level of personal beauty
highest where there was the widest diffusion
I 9thetic taste. Now, our own squalid poor
are noticeable, as a rule, for their absolute
and repulsive u~gliness, even when compared
with those Of other European countries.
Gaunt, hard-faced women, shapeless children,
people the back slums of our manufacturing
towns. Their painful ugliness' cannot all be
due to their physical circumstances alone
for the lazzaroni who hang about The streets
of Naples must lead lives of ABOUT equal
hardship aud discomfort-yet many of them,
both men and women, are beautiful enough
to sit as models for a Leonardo. On the
other hand, every traveller speaks of the
bnauty aud graceiulness displayed by young
and old among the aesthetic Polynesians
while in many like cases I note that Europe
ans who have once become accustomed to the
local type, find decidedly pretty faces ex-
trenely common in several savage races
| whose pri alive works of art show them in
other ways to possess considerable taste. In;
| India, where artistic taste is universal, almost
| every man or woman is handsome. On the
whole, it seems fairly proved that the average
personal beauty everywhere corresponds to
! the average general love of beauty in the alb
stract.-COrnhiU Magazine.
