production, an experience such as we are
about TO relate, win come with special force
and interest The transmission or certain
mental traits of prominence, and OF certaiA
physical traits Of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none can
understand. The father may be distinguished

decrepit and unknown, aud the child achieve
the highest place possible TO humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain charac'
teristics which mark the individual as de

These facts were strilungly brought out

" No one would ever suspect you had suf

"That is what all my friends say. Only

sources the authority of which cannot be
