NOT PEPPERMINT BUT STRONG Illiterate Man Was Not to Be Convinced That He Had Really Smelt Nothing. At a certain northern Chautauqua gathering last summer a lecturer, at the opening of his address, camo to the front of the* platform and took a small vial from his pocket. "My friends," he said, "before I begin my address. 1 wish to test the ventilation of this auditorium. 1 am going to pour out this oil of peppermint. When the odor reaches you, raise your hands, so tiiat 1 may see how rapidly it travels." lie emptied the vial, and almost instantly several hands on the front benches went up; then farther back the hands began to go up by the dozens, until at last the people in the last seats caught the odor, and raised their hands. The lecturer thanked his auditors, and went on with his address. When he had almost finished, and was speaking of the effect of the imagination on our senses, he paused, and said with a smile that it was only clear water he had poured out of his vial. The audience had been caught sc neutly that even those who hud held up their hands joined in the laugh But one illiterate fellow, whose hand had gone up more promptly and emphatically than any other, did not quite understand. "What they laughin’ at?" he asked audibly, of the man sitting beside him. "Why,” explained the* man, "you did not smell peppermint at all; it was only Imagination.” "Well.” said the other. "I knowod it was somethin’ that smelled mighty strong."—Youth's Companion. LITTLE KNOWN OF HEREDITY Much Talk on the Subject, But Work Still Awaits a Satisfactory Explanation, There are few subjects on which sc much "scientific" nonsense is talked and written as on heredity. Not very much is known of it as regards plants, less of animals, and almost nothing as regards humanity, writes H. Fielding-Hall in the Atlantic Tc read books on heredity, especially those of the Eugenic society, is to read a mass of suppositions and hazardous inductions where most of the facts are negative, and only the exceptions are positive. The very meaning of "hereditary" is not understood. If any quality is truly hereditary, then it is always hereditary. It never occurs except as the results of heredity, and it is constant, that is to say. it in variably follows. Rut there is no quality of which this can bo said. That genius is not hereditary is known. Even talent is not. Nor is any aptitude. A lawyer’s son more often wants to be a soldier or an artist than a lawyer, notwithstanding the environment, and it is so with most professions. The exceptions seem to be due to training and influence, not to any hereditary transmission. A superficial likeness to parents seems hereditary, but that la all that we can assert, and that outward likeness by no means infers an inward likeness There is nothing to attribute to heredity what is due to training or want of training. It excuses snpineness in governments and professions. Without Food Twenty-eight Days. A remarkable frat of involuntary fasting was performed 12 years ago by a corporal In a regiment of French colonial infantry. On his way to work me morning a man heard cries proceeding from a disused mine, near Brest. At the bottom of an excavation nearly 100 feet deep Corporal Andre Desrats was found In ao weak i condition that he conld hardly articulate a word. When he recovered his rescuers learned that, after accidentilly falling into the mine, Desrats had been Imprisoned for twenty-eight lays without anything to cat or drink. But a pig can beat a man. Dr. W. R. Carpenter in his Manual of Physiology records that a pig weighing 100 pounds was entombed by the fall of a portion of the chalk cliffs at Dover. !♦ vaa dug out ISO days later, and found to he still alive, but reduced in weight to 40 pounds.

A New York dramatic writer tells of an actress of groat popularity who la just beginning to bo obaoaaed with the notion that the public holds her to b* older than she really la. Th" writer was assigned to interview this player. He wished to obtain her views with reference to the state of the drama, a topic whereon the actress did not seem particularly anaiotta to decant "It does not seem to me,” gently suggested the Interviewer, with a smile, "that I am really ascertaining your opinion You ought to b" frank, since your eyes are gray and—" “Prematurely so. my dear boy. prematurely so.” the actreaa hastened to assure him —Judge.
