HEREpiTY IN NATIONAL LIFE.
Past History of People Determines
Their Present Character.

In the evolution of races and ma
tions we find at the outset two general
laws, the one self-evident, the other
not apparent at first sight, but equally
demonstrable, according to David
Starr Jordan. The blood of a nation
determines its history. This is the
first proposition. The second is. the
history Of a nation determines its
blood. AS for the first, no one doubts
that the character Of men controls
their deeds. In the long run and with
masses OF mankind this must be true,
however great the emphasis We may
lay on individual initiative or on in
dividual variation.
Equally true is 1t that the present
character of a nation is made by its
past history. Those who are alive to-
day are the resultants Of the stream
of heredity as modified by the vicissi-
tudes through which the nation has
passed. The blood of the nation flows
in the veins of those who survive.
Those who die without descendants
cannot color the stream Of heredity.
It must take its traits from the actual
parentage.

sAMP, THE CHAMP, BITES DUST.
King Of Bronx Zoo Monkey House
Knocked Out.

Samson turned his face to the wall
in the monkey house at the Bronx
zoo the other night and would not be
comforted, says the New York World.
Samson is heavyweight mandril
and his black fist had put down for the
count every male occupant of the cage.
There came to the cage three days
ago meek-faced monkey from China.
The other simians sized up his three
feet of stature, his well-muscled arms
and cleanly knit legs and agreed that
he looked good to them, though he
was plainly in the lightweight class.
He said in answer to questions that
he was of the Rhosus family and that
his name was Ii Hung Chang. Samp-
son overheard Ii and remarked super.
ciliously:
When l was In the circus and took
boxing lessons, l know several
Rhosuses. They never went back to
China. They were nothing more than
mixed-ale fighters. I'm Samp, the
champ, and this is what l did to the
Rhosuses, Bing-o."
Samp's right shot out, but instead Of
landing on Lis jaw it found only
space. Ii had side-stepped with amaz
ing ease. The chimpanzee could not
restrain an ill-timed guffaw, which di
verted Samp's attention from Ii
There was nothing more doing in the
pugilistic line until the other day
Eight rounds had been fought furious
ly when Ii feinted with his left and
shot his right to Champs jaw. When
Champ woke up he was alone in q
corner whittier he had been dragged.

Absent-Mlndedness.

"Most of the so-called absent-mind-
edness," said Columbia professor to
his class not long ago. lis due to the
fact that when the mind gets to rum
ming along a certain channel 1t Is DIFF
flcult for 1t to turn aside to take in
something that is outside the course
along which it is travelling. The other
night, for instance, my wife and
were planning to go to the theater.
When l came downstairs about 1880
o'clock the tie that l had on did not
meet with my wife's approval and she
asked me to go upstairs and change 1t.
l went, while she waited below. and to
her surprise did not return. Finally.
thinking that something must have
happened. she went upstairs to my
room. What do you suppose she
found? Simply that when | had start
ed to take off my tie my mind had been
set in a certain train which 1t fol-
lowed, and there | was with my paja-
mas on, just climbing into bed"

TURNED THE POTATOES BLACK.
The Sight Of Aluminium Ware Recalls
Old Timers Made Of Iron.

Among the many gifts, beautiful OF
useful. that this bridal couple received
was complete set of cooking uten
sils Of aluminium.
do you remember, Clarence" said
an older woman who had seen these
attractive pots ard kettles in the
kitchen Of the new brides home and
who was now describing them to her
husband. do you remember how black
the potatoes were the first dinner /
cooked?"
And Clarence did remember 1t, for
that extraordinary incident of the
black potatoes In that first dinner they
ate together in their new home after
they were married could not very well
escape his memory.
We'll, that" Mrs. Clarence went on,
was because they were cooked in
new iron pot. OF course / knew that
new iron pots ought to be secured and
cleaned before they were used, and l
had scrubbed and secured that pot till
l was tired and got it just as clean as
could be, but still the potatoes were
black.
Next day asked our washerwoman
about that and she said that if would
rub lard on the inside of it and then
scour it it would be all right, and
did that, and do you remember that
the next night the potatoes were not
half so black?"
And Clarence remembered that too,
and then Mrs. Clarence went on to
tell about the many other beautiful
things that this young married couple
had received besides those aluminium
pots and kettles, the sight of which had
called forth this recollection of her
own married life.

Supreme Court Enjoyed Joke.

It is not safe for the average citi-

States supreme court. but they have
fun with each other, these grave and
reverend dignitaries Of the woolsack.
The other day case was pending in
which a homesteader claimed dam
ages against railroad for the occu-
patton of certain land. 1t was pretty
plain that the homesteader had waited
ten years or so to claim his damages
in order that the land might increase
in value and permit him to make his
claim larger. DO you think 1t Is
equitable and just? demanded JUS

"But. II your honor please" retorted

Make Trouble for Reporters.

There is always great excitement
among the official reporters Of the
house whef Representative LittlefieH
begins a speech. The men who do
the shorthand work of congress are
regarded as the most expert report
ers in the country, but 1t is with fear
and trembling that they approach
their task when the gentleman from
Maine" is recognized by the speak
er. Littlefield talks like the proverb-
ial blue streak. He seems never to
tire or to pause for breath. II he
did not enunciate we'll it would be al
most impossible for the reporters TO
catch his utterances. AS It is they
manage. by a special effort to keep
pace with him. but they are always
glad when he has finished. Senator

reporters much trouble. He Is not
only a fast talker, but has wonder
full vocabulary. His rapid fire Of

Statue of Marble or Bronze?

There is a division of opinion in the
Indiana commission which has been
named to make arrangement for the
placing of statue of Gen. Lew Wal
lace in the statuary hall Of the cap
itol in Washington. Some Of the
members want the memorial to be of
bronze, while the others want 1t to
be of marble. It is said that there
is no agreement on the matter in
sight.
There are only few statues OF
bronze in Memorial hall, and those
that are there, to some eyes at least.
have not the beauty of the statues in
marble. 1t may be that this is alto
gether a matter Of workmanship rath-
er than of material, but the marble
memorials have holding beauty that
the others seem to lack.
An officer of Wallace's old COM
mand. Capt McGrew, who is a mem
ber of the commission, declares that
he never will consent to bronze
statue of the soldier-writer. 1t may
be that the matter will have to be
settled by the legislature Of Indiana
but IL the legislators were to go To
Washington and look over the memo
rails already there the chances are
whether they know anything Of All
or not they will decide in favor Of
marble.

HAD NO TIME FOR SENTIMENT.
Secretary Morton Smashed Lifetime
Dream Of Old Sailor.

In an article on Paul Morton, late
secretary of the navy. the New York
Evening Post says:
when, on one occasion, a navy de-
partment clerk brought him the great
official parchment commission of a
newly promoted rear admiral for his
signature he signed 1t, after reading it,
as he would any document before
signing. and noting the clerk still pres
ent with the document, inquired what
he wanted and was told:
Admiral Blank would very mueh
like to receive his new commission
from the hands Of the secretary of the
navy personally
Where is he? asked the secretary
Admiral Blank is upstairs, in his
Office, SIR
Ask him to come here, was the
command, and in few moments the
grizzled veteran presented himself to
the secretary of the navy
Evidently, the officer was filled
with sentimental emotion on this
event-the climax of his naval career
From boyhood he had lived for this
moment, his long terms of sea duty,
the monotony of shore service, the
anxieties of war, the arrogance of sn-
perior officers, the whole chapter Of
the rigors, the self-denial and self
discipline, was to be crowned with the
evidence of honor which his country
bestows upon faithful naval officers
He looked his expectation of words
of praise, as If in lonely watches he
had dreamed of the eloquent sentences
which would become the psalm of his
old age.
'The secretary of the navy stood
up, handed the open parchment to the
speechless rear admiral, and said only
this:
Admiral Blank, here's your COM
mission
Then he sat down to his desk and
went on with his work, unconscious
of having smashed lifetime's dream"

No One to "sit on the Lid"

Usually, when the president goes
away from the national capital for
any length of time" remarked a
stay-at-home official to a Washington
star reporter. "he designates some
member of the cabinet to sit on the
lid or. in other words, to represent
him in Washington in case of neces.
sity. That duty usually has been
delegated to either Secretary Root
or Secretary Taft, but has some-
times been assumed by other men,
bers of the cabinet. For some unex.
planned reason it was not done this
year, and 1t has happened that the
highest official Of the government on
duty in the national capital for
weeks at time during the summer
has been an assistant secretary to
one of the executive departments.
In the past 1t was extremely un-
usual for the president and all the
members of his cabinet to be away
from Washington at the same time
for any extended period, but that con-
dition existed, and has occurred fire.
quently since the president went to
Oyster Bay early in June last. Meth
er Secretary Root. Secretary Taft nor
any other member of the cabinet has
been in Washington for any consider
able stretch of time since that date,
and 1t has happened that all Of them
have been away at the same time. No
embarrassment has resulted, how
ever. as the president as we'll as all
the cabinet ministers have remained
in close communication with their
representatives who remain in Wash
ington throughout the summer. re-
gardless of where they happened to
be. go that really there was no occa-
sion for anyone to hold down the lid
for the president during the summer"
