HEREDiTY

The influence of heredity cannot, OF
course, be successfully disputed. but
IL can be minimized or entirely over

and drink. a Conn. lady says:
For years while I was coffee

tacks of great severity. from which

clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver. which I tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
He was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when visited him he
said: If you have inherited one Of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.

Runs on the Bank Of ENGLAND.

Even the Bank OF England has not
been entirely free from runs nor from
the necessity Of saving itself by
strategy. In 17i5. for instance. It was
forced to employ agents to present
notes. which were paid as slowly as
possible in sixpences, the cash being
Immediately brought In by another

Presently he rose from his seat with

ton and removed the cloth He then
carried it to the piano and. seating
himself, took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture Of life and
death.
Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton. he laid the
latters fingers over his own and began
to play. There was no hesitation In
the slow. measured flow Of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music swelled In a louder
strain l closed my eyes, for there was
something weird In that picture of
man and skeleton seated at the piano.
