STUDY OF HEREDITY
FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE IN A SCIENTIFIC
 WAY.
If You Read What Francis GaltoI and Other Noted Experts Say You Can Get e Mathematical Estimate of -Four Charac-
 ter and Capabilities.
New York World.

New York World.
 The profound questions of heredity are now, more than ever, attracting the study of scientists and sociologists.
 And much is being developed by the awakened discussion that commands the deep interest of those who are not scientific and who need study only their own characteristics and those of their im- mediate ancestors.
 There is also much in this amateur study of heredity, as it may be called. to rebuke and shame both those who fondly imagine they have inherited brains and those who vainly claim to have risen above the intellectual plane of the man and woman who gave them existence.
 It goes almost without saying that each human being has certain definite mental, moral and physical characteristics, and that these are due to one of only three causes:
 Heredity.
 Environment including education.
 Free will.
 Francis Galton. the learned author of Hereditary Genius." insists:
 That a mans natural abilities are de- rived from inheritance under exactly the same limitations as are the form and physical features of the whole organic world.
 "Consequently as it is easy. notwith- standing these limitations. to obtain by careful selection a permanent breed Of dogs or horses gifted with peculiar poW CTS of running, or of doing anything else so 1t would be quite practicable to pro- duce a highly gifted race of men by judi cious marriages among several consecu- tive generations"
 Galton draws the conclusion:
 That each generation has enormous power over the natural gifts of those that follow"
 He maintains:
 Tt is a duty we owe to humanity to investigate the range of that power and to exercise 1t in a way that, without De- ing unwise toward ourselves. shall be most advantageous to future inhabitants of the earth"
 Yet one more quotation from Cation, an Englishman, a Fellow of the Royal Society, to prove how truly wise he IS:
 "I look upon the peerage as A disas- trous institution owing to it's destructlVe effects on our valuable race.
 'The most highly gifted men are en- nobled: their elder sons are tempted to marry heiresses. and the younger ones not to marry at all, for these have not enough fortune to support both tamlly and an aristocratical position.
 "so the side-shoots of the genealogical tree are hacked off the leading shoot Is hIishted and the breed is lost forever
 Many preceded Galton and many agree with him that the chief factor In the trinity of heredity. environment ana tree- will is heredity Tn determining the entire makeup of the individual, And the .,amateur student" will find much that anneals to his unscientific mind in this argument. -.

Up to the Machine. :"

Senator Quay tells a story to illustrate Seratcr Penr rcses loyalty to the orgaui- zation without regard for his personal opinions or comforts. Quay, in spirit of we'll concealed raillery. told the junior Senator one day that no inconsiderable part of official popularity lay in enter taining during the Washington season, and advised him to go in more lavishly for social honors and attentions.
 Why. said Quay. " a Senator of your age ought to be married. Indeed, Pen rose. I'd advise you, for the sake of the organization. to get married. Your chances of reelection through influential demand by the higwigs will be increased by a thousand fold if you take a charm ing wife down there with you next term. With your money you ought to be able to do it well.''
 Penrose pondered deeply a minute or two and then said:
 DO you really think thing like that counts?"
 'surei' answered the Old Man.
 Well, - said the junior Senator, re- sisnedly, "let the organization pick out the woman, and I'll marry her."

The Price of Soft Coal,


 According to Stuyvesant Fish there is an ample supply of soft coal along the Atlantic seaboard at reasonable prices, and there is no danger anywhere of Q coal crisis, because anthracite consti- tutes barely oneAhfth of the coal pro- duced in the country.
 If we are going to deal with hypo- tactical case, Mir. Fish's main premise as to the extent of the anthracite and bituminous beds would afford a good basis for his conclusions, put as matter of fact the period of reasonable prices ceas- ed some time back. If the Atlantic States, which are paying S16 to SIS a cord for wood, are getting bituminous coal for the same old figures, there Is no such good luck in Chicago. The logic of the hypothetical case falls because the dealers are taking advantage of the sit- uation. They are doubling prices. putting them up to figures that are absurd when the amount and nearness of the supply are considered.
 They are, in fact, doing their best to emphasize the anthracite lesson in so- cialism. and if they keep 1t up during the stress of winter they need not be sur- prised if their instruction results in some very radical experiments in State owh- ership or control of mines and railways

Mahogany and White Pine.

Bath tMeD TimeS.
 For twenty-nine years not stick of old San Domingo mahogany has been ob- tainable, according to a local dealer in of one of our leading Bath lumbermen. there is not in all Maine a good-sized white pine tree standing. The San Do- mingo mahogany is all scrub trees and the Maine pine is all scrub pine. The old fashioned pine trees which made the fame of Maine were probab bly all of them from 300 to 400 years in obtaining thsH growth. This is the reason, or one reg son, why old furniture made of the wood available a century ago is so much in d( mand, and why it commands it's price1 Modern mahogany is much lighter thal that in the old pieces and no longer comS from San Domingo. As for the old-tim pine, 1t is now out of the market.

Mark Twain's Best Joke.
New York Times.

4NCW IOfA llIHSS.
 One of Mark Twain's best jokes was played on his daughters at Elmira it still stands as much a joke as when 1t was first perpetrated. Early in his lit- erary career Mir. Clemens made his home at Elmira and 1t was in that city that his daughters were born.
 No father was ever more proud of sim liar events. and MT. Clemens decided that they should be commemorated in a last ing and substantial way. So he erected handsome stone watering troughs, cost ing several hundred dollars each. in the vicinity of his pretty home Quarry Farm. and named each after a daughter. the name and date of birth being artistically cut in the front of the troughs in lette s six inches high.
 When the Misses Clemens were little tots they did not mind the publicity, but nov they have grown up and reached marriageable age 1t is causing them some embarrassment. But the father laughs and tells them that is one of the penal ties of being daughters of humorist.

 Abraham Lincoln's Dream.
 Abraham Lincoln, few days before his death, had vivid dream, in which he beheld his own body lying in stats. The vision made great impression upo ! him and he was rallied on account ok it by his wife.
 a military man had 1t not been that his rival for a West Point oadetship had bee found to have K toes on each foot instead of five. General Grant was a firm believer In dreams. and to dream of crockery was sure to be followed by good luck The night before he received his appointment as Colonel of the lHt- nos Regiment. he dreamed of being in q field filled with beautiful china. He im- mediately informed his wife that prom- perity was about to dawn upon their for tunes.

Senator Chandler counts white horses for luck. He counts every one that he sees until he reaches thirty-nine, and then he begins oyer again. senator Sherman would not extend his left hand in greeting or receive one extended % him. Senator Edmunds regarded It as unlucky if the first person he met on emerging from his house was woman. and would return for fresh start.

A Weak
 St0maeh

Indigestion is often caused by over. Dating. An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all the good food you want but don't over. load the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need a good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food with out the stomach's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unneces- sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel. ing of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals. Absolutely cures indigestion.

STABLE BURNED.

About three O'Clock Sunday morning,
the stable Of Mr. John II. Rcckord situated
on the outskirts of Bel Air, caught fire
and was destroyed together with its con-
tents including cow, a hog, provendcr
and harness. Henry Hewitt, a c"l"rcd
man who is in the employ of Mr.. RcckOrd,
in his efforts to save the stock, was badly
burned about the hands and body and
was taken to hospital in Baltimore for
treatment The stable was situated in
close proximity to Mr. Rcckord's house
but the high wind carried the sparks in an
opposite direction from the building.
The residence of Mr.. w. Smithson For
wood, which is nearby was i'll great
danger, but fortuna tcly the sparks were
carried beyond the house. Mrs. For
wood, who is an invalid, was cool and
possessed during the fire, and gave dircc-
tions about her being moved i'll case it
became necessary. She was also solici-
tious for the safety of her family and
ncighborS. The origin of the fire is UNI
known. 1t was first discovered by some
passing colored men. That portion OF
the town, being outside of the limits, has
no fire plugs or the flames might have
been cxtinguished. Mr.. Rcckord's loss is
covered by insurance in the British
American Insurance Company.
