riage to bo Unwlse.
The widespread prejudice against
consanguineous unions Is exceedingly
stubborn, but certain writers OF to-day,
including Haeckel, have endeavored TO
show that II rests upon no well-au-
thenticated facts. They claim that the
misshapen and imperfect offspring OF
such marriage is due not to the union
Of like blood, but OF like physical and
mental tendencies. Consanguinity it
self, they say, plays no particular role
In the union OF individuals OF the same
stock, but it increases in the descend
ants the tendencies common TO the two
progenitors. II these tendencies be
good they will be intensified in the
child, and hence the union will be ad-
vantageous. II they be bad re-en-
forcement OF unfavorable tendencies
should be suppressed by the avoidance
Of such marriages.
Yet there are on record numerous
cases OF blindness, deafness and de-
formity in the children OF nearly re-
lated parents. Sterility sometimes re-
suits. or II children are born they may
be puny, feeble and spiritless- or with a
tendency to idiocy. A prominent ply
sician has compiled statistics that show
that out OF l4.257 idiots nearly IS per
cent, were children OF cousins. The
percentage OF deaf and dumb children
born OF parents related by blood is only
a trine less, and out OF Z, 1913 blind por-
sons he has found that per cent. can
trace their defect to a consanguineous
union. Insane mania is a much less
frequent resultant Of such unions, as
out OF nearly 1900 cases examined he
finds less than 2 per cent. due to that
cause. Among the inmates OF blind
asylum several years ago were five
children OF one marriage OF cousins.

the father and mother we're cousins.
A physician who had made a close
study Of the subject said that he had
often observed In the cases OF offspring
OF consanguineOus unions where actual

wardness and dullness. Children were
apt TO be understood. with fat, stubby,
short-fingered hands and ill-developed

were exceptional, and that the mar

great danger. Their offspring was liza

considers the unfortunate house OF
Hapsburg and remembers that the

Princes have for centuries bore witness

Gently given out on ''undoubted author

handsome and fond OF adventure. He
fell in love with an actress who was
then on the boards OF the old Academy
OF Music--a vaudeville actress. She
was a coquette, and firted with young
bloods OF the city who had more money
than Stanley. When Stanley got per-
fectly crazy in his affection for her she
arranged meeting with him after the
performance, and, posting her friends,
had them stationed behind the scenes
to observe the results. Stanley, honest
in his infatuation, knelt before the
woman and protested desperately.
She amused herself at his expense
for some time, and then called in her
