II a DeIusion 1t Is a Pleasant one-For
and Against.
The whole. point at Issue Is whether
there is a casual relation between the cu.-
tivation of the mental faculties and their
development; in other words, whether
the increment gained by their exercise is
transmitted to posterity. Prof. Weis-
mann and most of his followers, consIf-
tuling what Is now generally known as
the school of Neo-Dlrwinians, deny such
transmission. IL they are right. educa
tiou has no value for the future OF man
kind, aud its benefits are eonflnei exciu-
siyeiy to the generation receiving IT, So
far as tae medication of kgcwscays is
concerned, this has always been admitted
to be the case, aud the fuct that each new
indiyiGuai must begin at the beginning
and acquire all knowledge over again for
himself is sufficiently d-iscouraging aud
has often been deplored. But the belief,
though vague, has been somewhat gem
eral that a part at least of what is gained
in the direction OF developing and
strengthening the facultie, of the mind.
through thei- life long exercise in special
fielcs. is permanently preserved to the
race by hereditary transmission to pos
terity OF the acquired increment We
have seen that all the facts OF history aud
of personal observation sustain this COM
fortlng popular belief, aud until the doc
tors of science snail cease 20 differ on this
point and shall reduce tins laws of hered-
ity to degree OF exactness which shall
amount to something more like a dernon
stration than the current speculations.
il may perhaps be as well to continue for
n time to hug the delusion.-Prof. Lester

Our would.be ArIstocrats.

Thousands of American young men. of
fair education and excellent possibilities,
c%aptIvated by the pictures of English
aristocrstic life drawn in English novels F.,
are learning to despise the simple, ra-
fioual, useful life of the worthy Ameri-
can citizen, and to court consideration
aud vulgar popularity by adopting the
habits. and leading the useless lives of
English lords. As is usual in UGH cases,
the copy is a caracture of the original.
The untitled American lord proves
usually 10 be u vulgar creature, having to
assert his self-conferred iordship by all
that is most unattractive, most inhuHiane,
and most un-American-and that is a
good deal-in the Euglisn aristocrat. In
England, aristocracy has no need to dis
play or TO obtrune itself; in America it
can exist only by display and obtrusion.
for this reason the American would-be
pobleman must necessarily conrt atten-
ton, and try to strike the vulgar i'm
~agination by the mere accidentals OF aris-
tocracy, such as any boorish Dives can
command houses, horses, turn-outs,
yachts, opera boxes. and the like. And
the vulgar are impressed by such thugs,
bow down in servile reverence before
them, aud do their best TO make -
similar display.-Prot. Thomas Davidson
