When people use thio word "Hered-
ity" they are very likely to mean some
drondful bugaboo of a supposed natural
law, whiter They have invented torr thein -
selves, throtigh which the poor human
race collies in for all the ailments and
Weuklu'sSes of its tnrbears, with nomeoi
the compensations. - One hears constantly such phrases
as her norther had cnnsulliplfon," el'

it must not be forgotten that diseases
are nut directly ineer'iled, but only the
tendency to them, /lois is a very com-
fortable tact, for 'i censtuntly offers a
reward for well -Weeded effort, It one
knows, from the start which aro the
avenues open to danger one is fore-
warned and forearmed, Those who
have that knowledge will not take the
children in whose families there have
been many instances of tuberculosis
and shut them up in stuffy places 10
give them a diet containing too little
fat. They would be too wise to let the
excitable child of nervous parentage
fend a life of overstimulation or be
pushed in, its 'studies, or to offer sips
of wine at the table to a 'small boy
whose father is a heavy drinker.
Just as a predisposition to a disease
may bo inherited, so also may an abso-
lute inability to have it. One sees this
proved by persons who pass unscathed
through epitomic after epidemic. This
shows (hat their inherited tendency to-
ward the disease, 11 they have any, Is
ee much weaker than their inherited re-
eistalce to 11 that trey are virtually un-
able to catch it.
Nature herself shows constant prefer-
ence for the Hernial, and is always work-
ing to that end; therefore a tendency
to disease is the punishment for disobey-
ing her, and a tendency to health is the
reward for obeying her. Neither Is she
implacable, so that if one will only work
long enough and hard enough to correct
one's mistakes there comes a time when
nature gives a clean bill of health. It
would be a tragic world indeed if only
the sins of the parents were visited up-
on the children.—Youth's Companion.
FLAT FOOT.
Flat foot is a very cannon affliction.
It Ls also one which is frequently over-
looked by physicians, says the Medical
Brief. -
'l'he patient complains of pain in the
heel, the ankle, lila Inner border of the
foot, great toe, 'the muscles of the calf,
the lone or even the hip. The busy
practitioner notes these symptoms in a
hurried, casual way, attributes
them to
rheumatism,
prescribes salicylates and
what not, and another flat footed indi-
vidual plods his weever way.
Increased defeernity Is added to what
may have been merely foot strain in the
first place. A curable ease has become
wetlnigh Incurable, and the medical
profession is again justly liable to well
deserved censure.
Any factor which tends to diminish. the
muscular power of the foot may cause
flat foot A great increase In the weight
borne by the loot may cause it. This
increase in w=eight may be actual, such
as occurs in people who put on a great
deal of fat, or it may, be relative, such
tie occurs in athletes, jumpers especial-
ly. But by tar the most common cause
Is a crapping of (ho foot, brought a13 ut
to Improper shoes.
For treatment of this condition me-
chanical support to the deformed foot
is practically all that is necessary. This
ntechonicnl support is best afforded by
0100nm of the footplate made from high-
ly tempered steel and moulded upon a
plaster cast of the foot.
The footplate should be worn as long
as it is required, but no longer. Addi-
tional Wearing of tine plate beye nd the
time necessary, as indicated by the
symptoms, is simply an additional cause
o' harm. With the footplate a shoe
should be worn fitting the normal con-
tour of the foot.

A LONDON Cl'I'Y STORY.
The Honest Highwayman and the Ac-
commodating Earl
The fourth Earl Stanhope, when on his
homeward way late one dark night, was
held up by the most gentlemanly of high-
waymen, W110 preferred his request far
money on the nobleman's life in quite
the nicest way, says The London Stan-
dard, 11 happened that Lord Stanhope
had not any money with him, and was
disinclined to yield the alternative.
"Your watch, then," suggesled the
gentlemen at, the opposite end of the pis-
lci. Thal watch, the earl explained, was
dear to hhn. Ile valued it at a hundred
guineas, and would not surrender it.
"\Vhat 1 will 00," he said, "Is to bring
and deposit 111 this tree the worth of the
watch in money, and you can get it to-
morrow night."
"Dane, 111' lord," said the highwayman.
The law knew nothing about his ar-
rangement, and d the earl did as 110-110(1
promised. Ile placed the hundred gui-
neas where the highwayman might at
Ills leisure collect it. And there, so far
as he Imew, the matter ended.
Years -.afterwards he attended a great
banquet in the oily, and found himself
pleasantly entertained by an extremely
well known man, whose signature was
good for a sum in several figures. Next
day calve to Lord Stanhope a letter en-
closin,g the sum of 7.00 guineas. Accom-
panying it was a note begging his ac-
ceptance of a loan granted some years
previously to line man who now for-
wa4ded it.
Thai loan, said the letter, enabled the
sender to gain a new stat in lite, lo'
mance a fortune, and to renew ecquain-
tatce at dinner on the previous night
with his lordship. The city magnate and
the highwayman of earlier days were one
and the surae.

"I would not be without the Tablets be

It is rho enthusiastic praise of mothers
who have limed the Tablets that makes
them 111e most popular childhood medi-

When 1110 rafts arrive opposite the

in waiting to heave the logs out of the

When the logs have been sawn other
gangs of elephants move dexleriously
about among 111e huge circular saws,
avoiding them with extreme care, cleav-

manner discriminating between mere
rubbish ani the sawn planks. Then
the elephants stack the latter so care-
fully that the edges are not injured.

ENGLISH PRISON SYSTEM
NOTORiOUS IABEZ BALFOUR GiVES
HIS OPINIONS.
After n Sentence of 14 Years' Penal
Servitude, Says Prison Does
Not Reform.
Jabez Balfour, who recently 00111p1e1
ea atern of 14 years' imprisonment for
fraud in connection with the Liberatr
Societies, has written a book. in which
he freely criticizes the English prison
system, here are a few extracts:—
DEVISED
xtracts:DEVISED 13Y EVIL GENIUS,
The British prison SVStem would
seem, In many of its details, to have
been devised by some malignant geni-
us, actuated by the horrible ambition
cf de Sado, "to leave the world a 11111e
worse than he had found it," to crush
tut of 111e heart of 111e unhappy criminal
any lingering remnant of self-respect,
any feeble hope of self -redemption,
which ln0y' Have survived his public de-
gradation in the criminal cou'1.
On three separate occasions Mr. Bal-
four was taken on long railway jour-
neys, clad in his prison clothes and
handcuffed. "I found along my route
groups of curious sightseers, who had
olidenty been apprised of my moze+-
meuts On Cowes Pier was the in-
vilable photographer, and quite a
throng of busybodies, through wham I
had to elbow my way'. At Southampton
there w11s a mob of very 111 -behoved fe.
rattles." The handcuffing, as he paints
out, was a purely superfluous degrede-
ttOn. On each occasion lie was ace0m-
panted by two armed warders. What
occasion co11101 there be to fetter an
elderly. obese man so guarded and so
ressed?
THE DRY BATH.
, As to the species of bndiiy search
known as "1110 dry hn111,' of which Mr.
Balfour 8pealc5 in carrtuliy-veiled phras-
es; it, was obviously on indignity which
alight have been resented by a nigger
in the days of 011e11e1 slnvcry..a"a 11e -
gradation to the unhappy prisoner and
an outrage on the reluctant warder—
grossly revolting and indecent."
The amount'o1 power vested in ward -
era and other petty officials is another
blot upon our prison system. Only

stand the infinite temptations to petty
tyrony furnished by the discipline of
such a prison as Portland. • Mr. Bal-
four was warned by a kindly chaplain:—
"Be very careful of the warders. You

SLAVES OF PRISON YARD.
How wholly, such incidents as the
following may serve to show:—
"A well-conducted youth, who was
walking immediately before me, halted
and stooped down to fasten his shoe=
lace. Ile was immediately pounced up-
ou by the wader, who shouted, 'You
are not to stop; you are not to stoop;
you are not to pick up anything; you
are not to look anywhere unless I give
you leave.' 1 myself was twice reproved
by this ruffian for looking up at the
skyl
"Once a prisoner, in passing me,
smiled. , . Th warder The w saw, and was
swift to shout: 'Now, then, Balfour,
smiling is not allowed Here.' Ile need
homily have told us that."
Humor creeps in everywhere —, even
into a -prison. Here is a quaint experi-
ence:—
"One morning I heard a tremendous
disturbance in one of the cells above
mine. I asked the warder what the dis-
turl'anee wee about. and he calmly re-
plied, 'Ob, it's nothing; it is only a fel-
low who has done his time and doesn't
want to go."'
Only 50 per 1,000 of the English popu-
lation is employed in agriculture. In
Russia the proportion is 208 per 1,000.
