Hereditary Taints.

One result of the labors of physiolo-
gists has been the clearing of the mental
vision. and the gradual comprehension
of the great, pervasive and potential fact
of ''heredity" THE sins of the fathers
shall be visited upon the children, said
Moses more than 5000 years ago Proba-
bly, he comprehended in buta very small
measure the Significance of his own
utterance. Not only do parents transmit
to children their mental peculiarities,
their moral tendencies. the features of
the face. the stoop of the shoulders and
the trick of the gait, but they pass on to
them their blood. their brain, their
glands. their very soul and life We do
not mean to say that heredity is tyrant
from which there is no escape, and that
as is the parent in constitution and con-
duct, SO also must be the children to the
remotest generation. -
If that were one of the discoveries of
physiology. small thanks would be due
to the science from overburdened man.
But it is not So The parent himself, as
is well known, can modify and make
worse or better both his Constitution and
his character. Similarly, the child's
constitution and character may be
changed. until. by the operation of. the
law of heredity itself, not very remote
descendant may be the antipodes Of his
early progenitors. The discovery of an
existing inherited faint of disease or Of
vice in a child is not cause for regret,
but for thankfulness. The disease taint
itself is. of course, to be deplored. and
SO is the Inherited vice, but its early dis
covery is to be hailed with gratitude as
pointing out lines Of physical and moral
treatment which may lead to the prac-
ticaI enfeeblement of the taint or even
to its eradication. London Hospital.

Our National Cockroaches.

Hem! heml hem! cough! cough!
cough! The hall of the house of repre-
sentatives sounded like an asylum for
consumptives. The senate was in execu-
tive session, and the hundreds of visitors
who thronged the Capitol on Saturday
afternoon, being debarred from that end
of the Capitol, thronged the house side.
There was strange odor in the air. 1t
tickled the nostrils and irritated the
throat. AS it grew stronger and stronger
the crowds gathered around the big
tanks of ice water and helped themselves
most literally. while the ladies bought
