LAW8 OF HEREDITY. "Three Qcneratlona to Make a Gentle man" la Fact, Not Theory. Prof Karl Pearsons, P. It. S who has taken a leading part In founding tho doctrine of evolution on a statis tical basis, explained to a deeply In terested audience nt the Royal Insti tution some of tho results which hnvo boon arrived at Two of theso aro of special Import ance. It Is shown by examination of large numbers of persons that men tal nnd moral as well as physical qual ities are Inherited, nnd to tho sumo extent Taking school children nnd examin ing them minutely with respect to curllness nnd color of hair; length, brendth nnd height of the head, color of the eyes, tho cephalic Index and health on tho ono hand; and on tho other testing them for Intelligence, vivacity, conscientiousness, popularity, temper, self-consciousness, shyness nnd handwriting, the degrees of In heritance In tho two categories como numerically ns close ns Ml to B22. Secondly, It Is proved that two or three generations -will suttlco to cre ate a new slock. Statistics of largo numbers show that thcro Is more than Is often sup posed to the saying: "It takes threo generations to make n gentlemnu," and in tho expression, "Visiting tho slus of the fathers upou tho children to tho third nnd fourth generation." Pedigree In humanity, ns In tho low er animals, Is n vital factor. Thus a amily or n nntlon will certainly progress or degencrnto as the Issuo of heredity. It needs but to repress tho numbers of tho better and higher nnd to multiply tho numbers of tho lower and less nt for two or tiireo genera tions to make national degeneration terribly real. Prof. Pearsons' tabular remits showed tho universality of the laws of Inheritance, not only In animals like horses and dogs, but In lowly Insects and oven in plants. Loudon Telegraph.

Tho author must havo been ono of thoso penny liners who wad too Indolent to got around and hunt up news, so contented hlmvJf with drawing upon his Imagination, A Task for the Cook. A good story Is told of a certain man who bad suddenly become rich whoso dosire to "show himself off" was only exceeded by his Iguorauce. At dinner ono day ono of his guests, a well-known literary clergyman, said: "I dined at X's, and he gavo us a capital epigram at dessert." The "new rich" was humiliated. Ha had no epigram. After his guests were gone be called his cook. "Didn't I give you carty blancby for this dinner?" be demanded. "Yea, sir you did, air," replied the cook. "And didn't I tell you to have every thing that anybody bad?' "Yea, air-you did, sir." "Yea. Well, now It seems that at X's they bare epigrams at dessert, and good ones, too, and folk miss 'em when they come here. Now, you'll have to serve up epigrams, and, what's more, cook 'em better than any one else!" Open to Conjeotnr. It Is not quite clear whether the fol lowing excerpt from a recent speech of Asbbel P.
