profit. There are stall quite
a large number OF fine
walnut trees here which will be cut

trees and e that his wooded pas

when eenIus Becomes InsanIty.

Where my eugenic friend goes wrong is in failing to realize that a great many of the maladies which he calls degeneracy are just too much of the highly developed nervous system which is the special endowment of the gifted families, writes J. A. Spangler in Westminster Gazette.
 Overcharge the battery ever so lit- tie and genius becomes insanity; give one member of the family a volt too much and the delicate balance of phys ical and mental qualities on which sanity depends is broken down. Ex- tinguish the family and you will rid the world of some degeneration. but you will also and at the same time rob 1t of some of it's most gifted men
 The doctrine of heredity should never be forgotten by parents or re- membered by children. To the first 1t is the assertion of their responsible ity; to the second a reminder of their helplessness.

When sIeepina.

It is well to sleep from infancy with the head uncovered, as the hair thus retains it's beauty longer. On retir- ing the hair should be raised high above the ears, without pulling. plait- ed loosely in a single braid and tied with silk or cotton ribbon. Avoid wearing starched nightcaps. as the starch is injurious to the hair. When old age approaches it may be well to wear nightcaps.
 Brush the hair well. using a soft brush, on going to bed and in the morning. The best brushes are made with short. bristles- If the hair is combed from the roots downward without being divided in several parts. much harm may be done to 1t The hairs would certainly be broken of. become uneven and could never be made to look cared for. It is an excel lent thing to smooth the hair with the hands.
