Is culture Hereditary?

The whole point of issue is whether
there is q casual relation between the
cultivation of the mental faculties and
their development; in other worlds
whether the increment gained by sheir
exercise is transmitted to posterityz
Profess or Weismann and most of HID
followers, constituting what is genert
ally known AS the school of Neo-Dar1
winians, deny such transmission. u
they are right, education has no yalud
for the future OF mankind, and its benz
efits are confined exclusively to tho
generation receiving it. So far as tho
incubation Of the knowledge is con!
cerned, this has always been admitted
to be the case, and the fact that each
new individual must begin at the be-
ginning and acquire all knowledge oven
again for himself is sufficiently dis
couraging aud has often been deplored1
But the belief, though vague, has been
somewhat general that part at LEAST
Of what is gained in the direction q
developing and strengthening the facul1
ties of the mind, through their lifelong
exercise in special fields, is permanently
ly preserved to the race by hereditary
transmission to posteIity of the ac5
ouired increment. We have seen THAI
all the facts Of history and Of persona
observation sustain this comforting pop
ular belief, and until the doctors o
science shall cease to differ on TIM,

It pays TO cultivate habits of polite
ness ald show defereace to those with
whom we come in contact. The boy or
girl with pleasing habits is pretty GER
tain to be chosen in preference to the

out life.

Everyone knows that mems pas
sions. propcnsilies and peculiarities,
as well as their callings are reflected
in their faces, but it is onlT the few
who have made the study of physiog-
nomy an especial pursuit who are
gifted with the power of reading
those faces. Judges who have served
long terms on the bench, lawyers in
large practice, and doctors of cmi-
nence, possess the power Of intcrpre-
ting physiognomies more largely than
other people, but anyone can acquire
tho rudlments OF the art by dint Of
hard study.
1t is as impossible to disguise face
(without putting on a mask) as it is
to disguise ones handwriting. When
the expert comes the disguise is torn
off and the face tells the true story of
the spirit inside the body. Oae only
needs to visit the penitentlary to real
ize how undeniably vice writes its
sign-manual upon the features. 1t is
not the druakard only whose red nose,
flabby checks and watery eyes betray
him; il is tho sensualist whose vice is
read in his lips, the knave whose pro-
peDsity is revealed by the shape of his
mouth, and the man of violence who
has been betrayed by his eyes. An
experienced detective or a trained
taller seldom asks the crime of which
prisoner is guilty; he can tell it on
the criminals face. In short, all the
advantages which Fowler told us We
were going to derive from the study
of phrenology we may possibly gain
from the older and more mysterious
science of face-reading. -TSt Louis
