Hereditary Diseases.

A fallaciors notion has somewhat
crept in that an intellectual man must
be below par physically. and that the
one faculty is necessarily cultivated
at the expense of the other. The old
proverb mems sana in corporc sono. has
been flouted as an absurdty. So much,
very briefly. for the first cause of race
degeneration; the second. and the one
to which this paper would direct atten-
ton, is the influence of hereditary dis
cases. This factor has never received
the attention it should have had at the
hands of writer's of social science.
The races of which we have been speak
ing had little of this element to con-
tend with. The weaklings were either
deliberately exposed and left to die, as
in the case of the Spartans, or if they
attained maturity they were held in
such low esteem that they willingly
kept in the background. Look for .
moment at our modern civilization and
mark its Numerically opposite tenden-
cy. Every day hospitals are being
erected to nurture the diseased and inn
perfect specimens OF our race, and
every year thousands of children are
BY skill and care saved from the death
to which nature would consign them.
All this accords with our enlarged no.
tions of humanity. and reflects great
credit on the zeal of the philanthrophist
and the science of the physician, but it
exerts baneful effect on the race To
one who has had access to any large
city hospitals, it is pitiful sight to see
the multitude of children who are tided
over a few years and sent out into the
world branded with IN hereditary talnt,
to propagate their wretched breeds.
The limits of this paper will not allow
any extended statistics, nor the nature
of it warrant a special discussion Of
hereditary diseases. but there are two
whose effects are apparent to all-con-
sumption and insanity. The former,
consumption. using the term in its
widest sense, has for ages produced
the most frightful ravages. For exam

The Dudes Came Out Ahead.

The stories told by returning vaca-
tionists are beginning to come in. They
are mostly of light character, divert

the ears of the historian is about a
gilded youth who went, of all places for
a dude, to Moosehead lake, probably to
seek the completest relaxation possible
from the arduous task of trying to rub
through the world without brains.
There. he met another dude, and the
two set up little mutual-admiration

hotel guyed them q little. but finally,
in the kindness of their hearts. they
sent couple of charming young ladies
to invite the dudes to take part in q lit
tie informal dance that they were get

Grandmother's Test.

A nice old lady has a certain test
which she applies to all young men
who 'pay attention" to any Of her
granddaughters. After a time she
offers him some of her homemade cake.
If he eats it with avidity, she mntely
gives consent; if not, she instantly
begins to oppose the match-not, as
some might suppose, from wounded
vanity, but because she has a theory
that men who like cake never drink to
excess or live dissipated lives of any
sort. Give me,'' she says, .'a man
that loves gingerbread; its q sure sign
he isn't fond of whisky. Hudson

State to locate poor soil, to buy much grain
not to systematic your work, having begun on one

much, not to combine their power not to hire help
and put more money into the farm, to think that
men in other professions get their money faster to
think that farmers have to work harder than
any body else, to think farmers have no Injuries
and privileges, to say there is nothing in the
country, to think manual labor degrading and last
and greatest it is mistake not to be honest.
Mr.. A. L. Brown, of Belfast, added: 1t is a mis-
take to go to law-to forget the old saying that a

barn, to mix ashes with manure, to leave things to
be done in the spring, to buy what you produce

Shall We Have Soldiers Monument


We have before called the attention of our citi
zens to the want of a monument in this city to per
petuate the memory of our fallen heroes who gave
their lives IN the war of the rebellion, that the
country might be saved. There is hardly a city in
the North the size of Belfast without n monument
of this description. When we remember that Bel

Bad for Belfast,

The action of the city government with re-
gard to the railroad question is ruinous one so
far as the interests of Belfast are concerned. 1t
is the work of few men who are determined
! to punish the preferred stockholders at what
ever cost to taxpayers, and is not justifiable
either from legal or business standpoint. 1t
strikes a deadly blow at the present and pros
pective welfare of our city. We do not speak
for the preferred stockholders, although they
have been grossly libeed and shamefuly
abused but in behalf of the people of Belfast.
The policy proposed by the men who defeated
rcfundng, and have increased taxation in this
city. means steadily increasing tax rate for the
ne Nt five years, the shutting out Of foreign cap
ia, a damper on all new enterprises, and the
removal Of personal property to other places,
which will Of course further increase the bur-
clens of those holding real estate here. 1t will
take practically all Of the rental for the five
years to meet the 1890 bonds, while the yearly
Accommodations can not be probably invested,
and will no doubt lie idle while our citizens re-
main taX-ridden.
| The resort to gag rule to shut off all con-
sidcraton of the questions at issue in the stock
holders meetings was in keeping with the spirit
! Of those who, unfortunately for Belfast, con-
troll the city government and the city's railroad
interest. There will of course be another APP
peal to the courts. involving additional expense
to taxpayers and delaying the just settlement
Of a matter upon which the law court passed
months ago. That decision indicated a policy
to be pursued which would have been satisfac-
tory to all concerned except the few who have
private grudgcs to feed at the public expense.
