has lost parent or near relative from con-
sumption. He is, it is true, slightly more
prone to the disease than others But this
,predisposition may be overcome by simple
'hygienic measures, to be spoken OF later,
which will at the same time protect him
against many other diseases due to faulty
habits Of living
This idea of the communicability of co n
sumption, so strongly fixed in the minds of
the Neapolitans and others, was gradually
dispelled by the theory Of hereditv. 1t is
of great importance that this question OF
heredity should be correctly and very gen
orally understood.

dropped his famous double barrel into
his hands ready for execution. So IN a
few moments he discovered the object
coming his way: 20 without warning he
fired the fatal shot. which entered the
breast and shoulders Of the young buck
and he fen to the ground and expired
without \ word. Prom the best infor-

carried 10 the home Of the hunter and
dressed. He was found TO be yery

rode a mouse eolored mule named
"Tol." The mule was a PAGER which
probably accounts for the ease with
which Mr.. Flanary did his work. He
assessed the county in ninety-three
days and nights. He rode 10 the coun-
try in the daytime and stalked the cit
les and villages at night II might be
noted that Mr.. Flanary is an old bach
elor Of the worst type which may ac-
count for his ability to perform this
task. Mr.. Babb was a married man

ed with the thoughts Of and care for
the little ones at home.

The story is told OF a man who was
always complaining about his lack Of
opportunities. One day he was at

tugged and fumed and fretted. Final

came together. II was a rude ending
Of quick patience. But Il set the fel-
low to thinking. The result was the
invention Of the hinged eollar-buttonl
A fortune was made. But the signih-
