A Study of Heredity.

MARRIAGE AND DISEASE; BY s. a. K.
sTRAHAN, NJ. ID. New York; ID. Appleton
g. Co.
Mr. Strahan's volume deals in straight
forward, common sense way with prob
lens to which not 1.-THE of the attention
they imperatively require is ordinarily
given. lt may seem to many even OF the
medical profession, that some OF his con-
clusions are pushed too far but it is i'm
possible to deny the premise with which
the treatise starts, that while in the
breeding of our horses and cattle, and
even our dogs and cats, the laws Of hered-
itary transmission are intelligently
studied and followed, as regards human
beings it is rare that thought is given TO
the physical, moral or mental Inheritance
Of our children. In these days of
free education, where physiology Is
taught in every school room, it ought not
TO be difficult to bring up boys and girls
TO know that insanity, epilepsy, scrofula
and drunkenness are handed down from
father TO sou, from mother to daughter,
from parent to child; and that, although
there is no one in the eyes OF the law, save
only the idiot and the raving maniac, so
diseased, crippled or deformed that he or
she NAV not marry and become the parent
Of a suffering, helpless family. yet there
are good and honorable men and women
who. aware of some grave hereditary ten
dency to disease within themselves, have
voluntarily abjured marriage that their
grievous legacy might die with them.
Mr. Strahan takes the ground that i'm
beetles, confirmed epileptics. those who
have been insane more than once and
habitual criminals should be denied the
right of procreation, and that every effort
should be directed to spreading knowledge
OF how man or woman with bad fam
lily history may, by steady and vrtuous
life, a strict observance of the laws of
health and proper care in the selection of
a partner in marriage, live down the evil
and transmit a healthy constitution to
the next generation

Tales of Soldiers and Civilians" by
Ambrose Berce has a curious history.
Bierce is n Californian. The Pacific slope
believes in him. The East has hardly

commanding over limited local area.
This volume of short stories was
offered TO every publisher in New

friend of Mr. Bierce, has played the
Maecenas. Mr.. Steele had reason, but not
too much reason. The stories are charm

TRAVELS AMONGST THE GREAT ANDES
OF THE EQUATOR. BY EDWARD WHyM-
PER. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons.
Edward Whymper is mountain climber
OF fame and ability. He is also an artist
and engraver OF no mean ability and
ordinary purposes OF Investigation. These
personal qualifications and lively and
saving sense of humor he carried into the
high attitudes of the equatorial mountain
masses, and the result is book which is
something more than charming and enter
tanning.
One of Mr.. Whymper's purposes-we
hope tho love OF action and adventure was
the main one-was TO test the effect on the
human system of life and exertion in great
attitudes. For such experiments. equa-
torial mountains are naturally best fitted.
as attitudes Of about 20 900 feet in the tenn
perate zone are coupled with some danger
of freezing to death. First essayng
Chimborazo. Mr.. Whymper found that at
an altitude of l6, 900 feet he and his guides
and porters were feverish, had intense
headaches and were unable TO get sum
cient air without gasping. Their parch-
ing throats they could not cool, for TO
drink more than sip of water at
a time was impossible. The smokers
could not induce their pipes TO burn Tor
want OF oxygen. Custom seemed 10 lessen
the effect Of height. however, and after,
ward an elevation or from l9,oVO 10 So,oo
feet was reached on both Chimporazo and
Cotopaxi without results any more I'M
pleasant. OF course Mr.. Whymper notes
the lassitude and disinclination To effect
which always accompanies high mountain
climbing. He advances, also the theory
that bad effects are felt in America at
lower level than i'm Europe which is diff
cult of comprehension.
From Mr. Whymper's observations and
from our own mountain experience we
should be inclined TO fix 1900 feet as the
level beyond which mountain climbing
ceases TO be comfortable or perhaps safe,
except 20 those hahituated. No known
inhabited places exist at so great a height.
The pleasure of reading the book is
much enhanced by Mr.. Whymper's keen
delight in the queer human beings whom
he met and sketched upon the mountains
lower slopes Some OF his sketches are
remarkably good, as they ought TO be.

Typhoid Fever Raging in Blind
ASYLUM

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-The asylum for
the blind is becoming veritable hot
house for typhoid fever patients. over
twenty of the students are down with
the fever, and the malady is spreading.
A pathetic feature is the fact that most
of the students are from abroad, and
generally belong to families in poor cir
cumstances, who are not able to respond
if summoned to the bedside of the sick.
Every hospital in the city contains ty-
phoid patients, one of the Catholic In
situations having as many as thrty-hve.
There are siXty-five at the city hospital.
Only three of the cases at the blind asy-
lum proved fatal. There is no official
record of the number Of new cases in
the city yesterday, but as there were
215 new cases Saturday, it is thought
that fully $50 new cases will be reported
for the forty-eght hours beginning Sat
urday night. A committee was appoint
ed at meeting of the board of health
to 90 to Lowell and investigate the water
supply. The churches were Scantlly at
tended throughout the city yesterday.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Action was taken
today by the roads in the Western Pas
Senger association that is calculated to
hasten a settlement of the rate troubles
in the territory east and southeast OF
Chicago. A meeting was held to con-
slider the situation as affected 10y the
cheap tickets sold from points IN Ohio,
Indiana and other points to Lower Mis-
souri, river points, based upon cut rates
to Chicago aud st. Louis, and which,
with extended limits, are beginning to
flood the Chicago and st. Louis
market to the detriment of the
ticket sales of the local lines.
The Chicago & Alton was present and
participated in the discussion. SoE.e
one suggested that the Eastern roads
be notified that all lines leading west
ward from Chicago, Peoria, Blooming
ton and st. Louis will require their full
proportions of the standard tariff rates
on all tickets sold through these gate
ways to Missouri river points or to st.
Paul and beyond, and will not partici-
pate in the wars growing out of differ
ences between Eastern roaGs.
General Passenger Agent Charlton,
of the Alton. was in favor of going even
further than this. He said the business
received from Eastern connecting lines
was of such
Small Consequence
as compared with the local business
originating at Chicago and st. Louis.
4, If
time for the Western roads to take eX
clared. was willing that Chairman Cald-
well should be authorized to notify all
Eastern connections that might be in
vOlved in local differences creating
rate wars IN the territory. that during
the term of such disturbances they
should suspend ticket sales over all
Western roads from Chicago, st. Louis
and Bloomington, and that such tickets
must remain official until rates should
be restored to their normal condition
and agreed standard limits. In Mr..
CharltOn'S opinion this was the only
way to preserve rates from Chicago, St.
Louis and other large business centers
in which the Western lines were inter
ested.
No little surprise was created by Mr..
Charlton's proposition, but his views
were concurred in by all present. 1t
was decided, however. that it would
hardly be generous te serve a notice of
that kind on the competitors without
previous warning. A resolution was
therefore adopted instructing the chair
man to advise all lines in Ohio ana
other states affected by the Ohio river
rate war that the lines west of Chicago,
St. Louis, Bloomington and Peoria will
require full proportions of regular
standard rates on through business, and
should this action fail to secure them
immediate protection, they will request
the withdrawal from sale of all tickets
reading over their lines until such time
as the present troubles are settled.

Prohibition Laws Roasted by a
Kansas Minister.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 2S.-Rev. A. S.
Elbrce, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church, OF this city, yesterday
preached a sensational sermon on tenn
perance. he declaring that prohibition.
was failure; that it never had been
enforced and never could be enforced,
and that the prohibition laws should be
stricken from the statutes. The cen
tnued violation OF law with impunity
had led, he said. to anarchy, and that
was what was being taught the young
men of the state by the non-enfOrce-
ment of the prohibition laws. He there
fore advised the repeal of the laws at
present in existence. and the substitu-
ton in their place of sensible local
option law.
