The Mystery of Inheritance.

The body of an individual animal or
plant is to be regarded, from the point of
view of h~eredity, as consisting of two
distinct elements. These are germ cells
and body cells, the former devoted to the
important work of reproducing the race,
the latter constituting the actual bodily
material, and discharging all the ordi-
nary functions through which the indi-
vidual life is maintained. Inheritance is
a matter of the continuity of the germ
plasm or germ cells, which are handed
down from one generation to another in
cumulative ratio, carrying with them in
each case not the features and qualities
Of the one predecessor and parent, but Of
all preceding generations.
Assuming that the germ plasm is liable
to exhibit variations, we can see how and
why such variations can be transmitted
to new generations; but we have also to
take into account the influence on the
germ cells of the body to which they
belong. While, then, inheritance pre-
serves through the continuity of the
germ cells the stability of the race, it
gives the rein to variation, and by the
combined influences of environment act
ing on the body of the individual peoples
the world with new and ever varying
| forms of life.-Dr. Alexander Wilson in

Big Dam.


The distinction is now said to belong
to Bombay of possessing the greatest
piece of solid masonry construction that
the world has ever seen in modern times.
1t appears that for years past the water
supply Of Bombay depended upon works
known to be defective, involving the
possibility of a water famine in that
great eastern seaport, and in view Of
this a consultation of eminent engineers
was held, under the direction of the
government, with the result that a large
dam was determined on, to inclose the
watershed of the valley which drains
into the sea south of Bombay.
This gigantic structure, designed and
accomplished by the superior engineer
ing skill of T. G. Glover, is two miles
long, 118 feet in height, and 103 feet
wide at the base, with a roadway on
the top "a feet wide, the stonework
alone costing $4,000, 900. The lake
of water which this dam imprisons is
some eight square miles in area, and
sixty miles Of pipe perform the service.
Twelve thousand Hindoos were special
ly trained by Engineer Glover for en-
ployment on this dam.-New York SrT.

An Easy Lesson.

There were two very young women
aged five or Whereabouts and exactly OF
a size. One had long yellow curls tum-
bling about her round pink face and big,
wide blue eyes that looked fearlessly at
everything. The other was fair, too,
but her eyes were dark and timid and
there were little nervous whirls in her
silky black locks. The pair were trot-
ting along the wide pave of an uptown
residence street at about 6 o'clock in the
afternoon. After three blocks of it Miss
Blue Eyes said, in just her mammals
tone:
Now, Bessie. dear, l must kiss you
| goodby. Your house is just around the
corner and nothing will hurt you. There
is a policeman right opposite; RIM home
now, and be sure you come again soon.
l have so enjoyed our talk about the
dear little doggie and the dolls. Tell
Julia my Estelle sends love to her, and
come tomorrow. I am so glad always
floating off in the middle of a sentence.
Bessie went around the corner all
a-tremble, and probably got safe home.
Half way across the block her compan-
ion heaved a deep, world weary sigh and
said r~efiectively, You just have to be
polite-but my-ain't it awful tiresome
sometimes!'-New York Recorder.

The Pleasure of Matured Age.

Young people in this country are very
apt to think that the world and its
pleasures belong to them alone, that the
outlook for older people is colorless and
undressing, and that, at the best, they
can only enjoy life vicariously through
their children. This is, however, by no
means the case; the sense of enjoyment
Is as keen, in most instances, at fifty as
at twenty-five, and vastly more appre-
ciative. To be sure, that which would
constitute the pleasures of one age would
not be exactly the kind which would suit
another.
Il do not envy you a bit" said a dear
old lady Of seventy, as her granddaugh-
tiers presented themselves in all the
bravery of their fine attire before going
to the ball. Il have my pleasures, too,
and l would not exchange my comfort
able seat before the blazing fire with my
feet on the fender and a good novel for
all of your Anticipated triumphs."
Young people are really too full of
themselves to enjoy thoroughly an alb
stract idea, too brimming over with
their Owl personality to enter entirely
into the spirit of art, music or the mystic
beauty Of nature. Only those who have
learned that flesh and blood cannot in
herit the kingdom" can feel the keen in
tellectual enjoyment that is warped by
no personal bias, no restless self seeking;
and whatever may be the glory of youth,
to it IS not given the fuller and higher
appreciation that only m with ma
turer years.-New York Tribune.

No Place to Spend Money.

The pay aboard the South Shoal light
ship is somewhat higher than on other
lightships. The captain receives 81, 600,
the mate 500 and the crew 5000. These
sums may not seem large, but it must be
borne in mind that even the prodigal son
would have found it impossible to make
away with his patrimOny on the South
Shoal lightship, especially as the govern
ment furnishes all supplies. Opportuni-
ties for extravaganza are absolutely
wanting. Occasionally a member of the
crew may remark in a sadly jocose tone
that he is going around the corner to or
der a case of champagne or to be meas
ured for a dress suit; but there is no cor,

THE BIRTH OF A PRAYER.

About the church soft music flowed,
Fair voices borne on organ waves,
With tinted light the dim aisles glowed.
Like caves that sunlit water laves;
The twelve Apostles carved in stone
Looked grimly down upon the nave,
Where faces chilly as their own
No sign of kindling fervor gave.
The music and the sunshine kept
The secret of their gladness well,
AS DER our heavy souls they swept
The tale OF empty praise to tell;
Nor ruby light, nor old gray walls,
Nor vested priest, nor music fair,
Nor the sweet holy hush hat falls
Within a church., move hearts TO prayer.
/ saw a gray old man benz down
His shaggy head, his furrowed face,
And, with a pleased and patient frown,
Help his wee lass to find the place;
The two heads bobbed about the page,
Roses and withered leaves at play;
One finger plump, one crooked with age,
Picked verse by verse the doubtful way.
Great glasses, jigging to the lines.
Braced his dim eyes the words to trace,
While the small pouter watched the signs
OF hope or failure in his face;
The knotted finger stopped at last,
SO did the plump one, with an air,
And up and down such looks were cast
That in my heart was born a prayer.
John Reid in Good Words.

CnsOld Books in Paris.

P~arisians-if we are to judge from
some statistics published-do not take so
kindly at present to fiction in book form.
Formerly the yellow covered novel,
which costs usually about half a crown
or a little more when just issued. was to
be seen on every table and in the hands
Of numerous travellers by boat, rail or
car. There is now, however, a crisis
threatened in the book trade, and novels
are at a considerable discount.
1t is estimated that there are from ff-
teen to twenty popular authors whose
books fill the requirements of the pub
fishers. To attain this end at least
thirty thousand copies of a work must
be sold. lola and a few others reach
this point easily, but it has happened
lately that one of the most celebrated OF
the latter-day f~ictionists had the misfor-
tune to find that $4,000 copies of his last
production were returned to the pub
fishers by the Maison Hachette, which
has the monopoly of railway bookstalls.

Bright Little Edith.

Little Edith had the habit Of eating
out the soft part of her bread and tuck
ing the crust under the edge of her plate.
Her mother had frequently reproved
Edith for this r~eprehensible practice, but
it appeared to have no lasting effect.
The other evening Edith was detected at
her old trick. Said her mother:
Edith, how often have | told you
about leaving your crusts: There may
come a day when you'll be glad to get
them"
Yes, mamma" replied Edith, with a
demure, whimsical countenance, that's
what I'm saving them for."-Boston

How to Be Healthy and Hairy.

A new prophet has arisen. His claims
to attention are imperative from the fact
that he guarantees his followers exemp-
to which fashionable flesh is heir-dys-
pepsia and badness. The name of the
prophet is Khorf, a Russian, and he
bears his credentials writ large on his
person.
Though he has already passed the
span allotted to humanity by the
Psalmist, he is as agile as a young opos-
sum and as we'll matched as Absalom.
His rules of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave,
live in the open air as much as possible,
and wear as little clothes as you can
these are the cardinal doctrines of hy-
giene according to Khorf. So shall you
become healthy, happy and hairy /; for
in the view of the new prophet the nat
ural condition Of the human being is to
be all hairy like Esau, or all downy like
Stanley's pygmies. Above all, you must
walk rhythmically," for DR.. Khorf
maintains that we digest with our legs
and not with our stomach. Meat, spirits,
mineral waters, and theaters are all ia
booed in the Khorfan system. Personally,
he never wears a hat, and takes his meals
in the open air. Nodoubt, if this hirsute
sage's mode of life were compulsorily
enforced ON the entire population we
should all be speaking Simian in a couple
of generations. If ever there is a car
or an emperor who is an ardent Darwin
ian, the temptation to trythe experiment
will probably prove irresistible. London

No Deformed Cinnamon.

"Did you ever see a deformed or Grip
pied Chinaman?' asked a gentleman.
There was a negative reply, and the
questioner continued: 81 don't think you
ever will. If a Chinese child Is born de-
formed it is made away with as soon as
possible. Just how the babe is killed l
do not know, but it is never permitted
to live. You may travel all over the
world and you will never see a crippled
Chinaman. When an accident befaIls
one of them he Is made away with too.
This is a part of their religion, and they
adhere to 1t closely Washington Post.
