Agreed With the Judge.

A writer in Law Notes retails some memories
of the Irish bar. and gives impressions of several
barristers. including the late John MacMahon.
MacMahon's style was painfully heavy, his ut
terance a, little thick, and he was entirely de-
void OF humor. His hearing at times was not
of the best. and for that reason he thought it
was the best policy TO agree with any remark
that might be made by the judge before whom
he was appearing. even though he did not hap
pen to hear what had been said On one occasion
he was appearing before a master OF the rolls
who thought that MacMahon was arguing rather
elementary law for such a court as his You

Mental Qualities inherited.

Prof. Karl Pearson, p. r. s., in his
Huxley memorial lecture at the Anth-
ropological institute in London, after
giving evidence to show, and declar,
ms his belief that mental as well as
physical qualities are inherited from
parents, called attention to the
present lack of intelligence in British
professional and working men. He
does not think the remedy is to be
sought in foreign methods Of instruc-
ton or in technical education. In
telligence must be bred, and we are
ceasing, he thinks, to breed IL as we
did fifty CT one hundred years ago.
The only possible remedy is to alter
the relative fertility of the good and
bad stocks ia the community. We
are, Ii seems, at the beginning of an
epoch which will be marked by a
dearth of ability. For the last forty
years the intellectual classes, enervat-
ed by wealth or love of pleasure. or
following an erroneous standard of
life, have ceased to give up the men
