If life, and especially those which relate
to reproduction, an experience such as
We are about to relate, will come with
special force and interest. The trans
mission of certain mental traits Of
prominence, and of certain physical
traits of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none
can understand. The father may be
aistinguished,-the son, an imbecile;
or, the parent may be decrepit and un-
known, and the child achieve the high
est place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain
characteristics, which mark the individ-
ual as descending from ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are
infirmities, and often of q physical ma
ture.
These facts were strikingly brought
out during q conversation, which q rep
resentative Of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie d. 7. Swift, who is the
wife OF one of our most prominent citi-
zens. This lady related that she inherited
from her parents certain tendencies over

which seemed to come unaccountably
and at uncalled for times. They were
annoying, exhausting, andinterfered not
only with my duties, but also totally de-
stroyed my happiness. At first, they
would be only transient, appearing for
a day Or two, and then disappearing
then again they would come in such VIC
lont forms, that it was impossible for me
to lift a cup to my mouth. Afterwards,
my feet and hands swelled so thati it was
impossible for me to draw on my shoes

"No one would ever suspect you haG
suffered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now,'
remarked the reporter.
THAT is what all my friends say. Only

"Have you any objection to giving TIN
name of the party who first mentioned
this remedy to you?'
"Not the slightest. It was Mr.. r. Fl
Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding
Mrs. Swift goodbye, repaired to TIN
Photographic rooms of Mr.. Furman
