la MS or HEREDITY
Vita. Facts Which Are Not Prop
erIy Understood.
Phys q. Development, More Especially
An ag the Lower Animals, Largely
: @atter Of Environment
Ia Human Family.

Th 1aws of heredity are not well
unde 4ood There are many facts
perta aiug 70 heredity which are well
tMouf but there are so many excep-
lions 70 The rules, nothing in the way
If neitive laws can be stated. Ac-
eerdiag TO the supposed laws of hered-
ity thYa should be no difference what
eyer ~ the physical appearance Of
children born of the same parents.
And yet children born of the same
parents are never exactly alike and
frequehfly vary to as great degree as
If they. were not related. Not only do
they vary in physical conformation
in shape and size-which might be
accounted fer on the ground that
they were reared under different CON
dtions--but they differ frequently at
birth IN the color Of the hair and
eye ard disposition
6ut those variations are not so no
eeable among the wild things as
among, The domestic animals and peo-
pie. There is no question as to an an
imsls being Influenced in its develop
elent by reason of its surroundings,
It's exercise and Its food And, when
SO Influenced it's peculiarities are
transmitted TO its offspring.
Exercise PROBABLY has more to do
with ply cai Development of an AMI
NAL than any other thing. This fact
Is demonstrated in the case of per,
sons whose ancestors have followed
single occupation for many genera
lions In the lower animals it is also
known to be fact chat acquired
characteristics are inherited. The
bird dog inharitS not only the deep
lungs acquired by It's ancestors, bun
the instinct TO point birds. The trot
and pace are acquired gaits with
horses and are freely transmitted
through Inheritance even to the for
motion of muscles conducive to speed
The wild creatures DO but few
thingsin making a living. The wolf
hunts after certain manner; the deer
gratis on the grass ana buds Of
plants; flie quail picks up seeds and
bug and worms. Over and over, gen
Grafton after generation, these things
follow the same routine in securing a
living SO they develop and transmit
to the Offspring the degree of efficiency
negdedto make a living. So year after
year generation after generation, the
members of the tribe, or pack, or
aoch are kept at Il certain standard
and do not vary, But with domestic
animals. rs where horses are used for
various purposes, where cows do not
live under identical conditions-and
with human beings, where there are
so many ways of making living,
variations are developed and trans
mitted to offspring.
But there are many uncertainties rs
10 what the offspring will be like. We
nave not learned enough about the
laws of heredity even 10 state posi-
fivelX that the offspring of famous
race herse Will have speed, although
we know thar the tendency will be
toward speed The child of we'll
developed man ana woman may be u
wcaFing, although The chances are ii
will he strong. And certainly we do
not knaN that the children of a very
brilliant man will be any more bril-
liant than other children, although,
according to the laws of heredty it
ought to he.

SpeaiIln' of Boys.

"Yes,' said the almost-philosopher'
"there's a heap of difference in the
attitude parents take in ralsln' boys
Some folks are content to bring 'em ul
to be good men Tor the boys own sakes
Others selfishly harp about wantin the
BOYS to be credit to their parents
This may be all right, but 1t seems to
me the only thing the old folks can
borrow on that kind of credit Is trou'
ble."
