HEREDITY.

There can be no doubt that
what is known as heredity has
much to do with the success or
failure of human life. The illus
tration drawn from the family
canned Jukns, in contrast with
that of Jonathan Edwards, is
most strlking-so striking, indeed
that it is difficult to believe the
statements concerning the two.
Ofthe Jukes family. it is said on
good authority, that, beginning
with ia good Tor nothing fellow"
in 1920, twelve hundred descen-
dants have been traced, all having
been paupers, criminals, lmbeclle,
insane, ard lincentious. Only
twenty of them ever learned
trade. and ten of these learned 1t
in the penilentiary. They cost
the public over $l,25O,00O. The
family of Jonathan Edwards began
with the godly preacher and
pastor, in 1908. Fifteen hundred
of his descendants have been
s1udied. and among them not one
ha, been an imbccile, or a pauper,
only one has been insane, and but
six have been criminals. On the
other hand, 2s3 were college
graduates. Is were college presl-
dents. among them two Dwlghts
and one Woolsey, the three
greatest presidents Yale has ever
had In law and medicine, in

the front. Other instances OF
similar facts have been pointed
out. and the facts can DO accounted

Harley Company vs. Thomas T. Bameheld
that the exceptions 20 the masters report
