"Yes, sir; this kind of work oblges

Influence of Place on Family Perma-
nRnCy.

Almost every person OF mature
years who is extensively acquainted
among city families, can recall many
instances among his acquaintance
where the elder members of the fam
lily born and reared, perhaps some
what roughly, in the fresh, healthful
atmosphere of the country, and trans
ferred to the city at a mature age,
continue hale and hearty at seventy
or more years, with numerous pro-
geny, who reared in the city fall much
below their parents in general health
and strength, and in the third genera
ton are so feeble and delicate that
half of them die off before their
grandparents. If such families be
looked into closely, it will be found
that there is fair proportion of sons
among the children Of the first gener-
alton, fewer among the children of
the second generation, and large
surplus of girls in the third genera
tion; so that in the fourth, or at most
fifth generation. the males have all
died out of the family, and the family
name becomes extinct. The excep-
tions to this in the birth of an occa-
sional son in the later generations
may generally be traced to some spe-
cially advantageous condition of the
mother, either herself fresh from
country life, or if descended from a
contemporary city family, that she
has enjoyed some special opportunity
for the restoration Of her family
health and strength. There is con-
.soling thought in the fact that if life
in the city, with its impure air and
excitements, can reduce the health
and strength of the race, return of
even the weakened ones to more IA
vorable condition of existence can
again in a generation or two restore
the race to its pristine vigor, so that
though the transgressions of the IA
theirs and mothers may be visited on
their children, the children may mod
ify the inhiction, and by judicious
regimen and training eradicate from
their lineage the hereditary maladies
and need not, preforce, transmit to
their offspring the physical ills they
themselves inherited-at least not to
their full extent. "Controlling

Temuerauce i'm Schools,


1t is about sixty years since the
temperance movement in regard to
the use Of spirituous liquors COM
menced in this country, and although
great many persons, leaders In
Church and State. have become total
abstainers from all that can intoxi-
cate. still it remains fact that a
greater amount of intoxicants is drank
now, per capitem, than was the case
before the temperance movement was
inaugurated. In view of this state of
things, the temperance advocates are
led to inquire, why is this the case?
To answer this question satisfactorily
and intelligently, we must consider
how the masses have been educated
and trained for the past sixty years.
Leading men and women in our cities
and large villages have taught the
young of both sexes, by example, that
it is right and manly to drank ardent
spirits as beverage. And by this
mode of instruction the many take to
drinking to excess, while the few re-
main firm to their temperance princi-
Piles. The many, therefore from the
all-powerful example of leading pub
lie men, become moderate drinkers,
and finally confirmed drunkards.
The Reform clubs in our country
have done some good work in the
temperance field, but they have not
laid the axe at the root of the tree of
this great evil. They have been salts
fled to lop off occasionally branch,
or prune back here and there new
twig g of this upas Of desolation, while
the roots and trunk have been left to
flourish and poison its innocent and
ignorant victims.
Is there no remedy for the increase
of drunkenness in our nation? We
answer, yes! 1t lies in the legitimate
and proper instruction of the
young in our public schools.
"But," says the objector, ''this instruc
ton should be given in the family
home" We admit this, but how can
children be taught temperance or any
of the moral precepts at home, when,
in not few families, all of the COM
mands Of the Decalogue are violated
by the parents? The children Of
such parents. in numerous instances,
even in Puritan New England, have
no moral or religious instruction at
the church or the Sabbath School.
The only place for them to receive it
is at the public school; for in the
State of Massachusetts, the law re-
quires all children between five and
fifteen years of age to attend the pub
lie schools twenty weeks annually.
The Legislature of Massachusetts will
probably, the present winter, pass a
law making it obligatory for teachers
in the public schools to give young
children scientific. instruction on the
injurious effects Of alcohol on the
stomach and nervous system. Such
law was enacted by the Legislature
of New York last winter and is now
in operation. By this law, the intel
lect Of children can be reached and in
formed on this subject, and the facul-
ty Of conscience be educated and
trained in accordance with phrenolog-
ical principles, to know and do the
right. This method of reaching the
moral sentiments, if rightly carried
out, will redeem the world from in
temperance and crime in all its varied
forms. P. L. BUELL..

Smoking Like a Gentleman.

1.-THE well-bred man, on the contra
ry, the gentleman, the man that
smokes only for the love Of it. puts
but as much of it in his mouth as is
necessary in order to draw it. keeps it
in his mouth no longer than is neces-
sary, and never fails to remove it
when he talks, or passes any one to-
ward whom he would be respectful,
especially a lady. Further, our best
bred men never smoke in any street
at an hour when it is much frequent
ed, nor in any public place where
smoking is likely to be offensive to
others. 1.-THE Mentor.
Yes, Mr.. Ayres, it is perhaps as you
say. A gentleman" may smoke and
yet lose nothing of his gentility, but
it is nevertheless true that the habit
of using tobacco has an inveterate
tendency to weaken mans sense OF
the nice and delicate in social inter
course. Like all other habits of self
qualification it tends to increase per-
sonal desire for sensuous qualification
and to strengthen the selfishness of a
man. How few old smokers have any
regard for the rights of others when
they practice their fumous habit in
public places! And usually old smok-
ers burn tobacco wherever smoking is
not positively forbidden by an author
