Traits Inherited From a Stepfather.

Touching our note on ''Telegony,
we have received a communication
which may interest Professor Ro-
names. 1t is to the effect that in a
certain parish of Wiltshire particu-
lars of which we can furnish him if
he desires it) there is an old woman
whose first husband had bright red,
thick curly hair, and their only child
had exactly the same kind of hair.
The woman became widow, and
she married secondly man with
straight, soft, light brown hair,
with not the least shade of red in il. "
No two men could have been more
unlike in appearance. Of the second
family, there were four who resem
bled their father and mother-the
mother had pretty brown hair and
eyes-then came boy and girl ex
actly like the child of the first hus
band, with the self same curly hair,
regular carrots blue eyes, and
similar features.
They are all living now, in or near
the parish in question. Perhaps, nay,
there were ancestors of the
true parents, near or remote, who
had red hair, and therefore the case
IS not quite a satisfactory one, but
Professor Romanes may think it
worth while to look into it more
closely London Globe.

with them and see how
they were getting along The inter.
view was nicely interspersed with
conversation, sonorous speeches from
the chiefs, tribal songs and dancing.

to receiving sounds out of doors, was
