Characteristics and acquired qualities of the parents are inberi- ted by the offspring. The peculiarities of a father are inherited by the son. An instance of acquired qualities inherited is that of a dog who would aor near a butcher shop and this trait was noti in its parent, and is a trait which is uncommon in a dog. Characteristics of remote ancestors are inberited,which are called rever- sion. A child was noticed to always scratch one side of its face when laughing, and it was remembered that the child’s grandfather, whom it had never seen, did the same ’ thing. Adopted children will show the peculiarities of their low birth, even though brought up amid every refinement, Qualities which are not deformities or mon- strosities may be inherited, even the were not visible in any “ot the offepring’s cestors, Heredity is the overpowering eon- servative action which amid the turmoil of the times, within certain limits, for all fixed time reserves and transmits old family peculiari- tes. Permanence in a variation is a prol inheritance. Prominent varieties are produced by crossing the prominent varieties of races,and the offspring have all degreesof difference from gach parent. Variations are made prominent by selective breeding. Man, by selecting the breeds which he wishes to cross, can bring about. a change in @ comparatively short time, which it would take nature centuries to pro- duce, and a reversion to its former state takes — from man's neglect tocontinue what he as begun, whilethe new breed formed by na- ture rarely reverts toits former state. Most ofthe breeds of domesticated animals and cultivated plants have arisen from man’s selection: He forms them of what ever color, size or shape he wishes. Some of these selections are made voluntarily and others in- Yoluntarils. |The surrounding conditions or environment luce many changes. Tempora- ture, soil, water, degrees of sunlight and shad and the distance above or below the sea level all_ produce change. The bottom of the ocean has the least of these physical changes, for the temperature is almost uniform. ‘igrations may produce changes, for no places are exactly alike in (al ep and other conditions. Appetite, passion, strength, scarcity of tood, ali produce changes. All varieties of life tend to feed on other life, even to its extinction, and this will sometimes result in tis own destruction, being deprived of its own food. Man obeys the divine law of “kill and eat.” Destruction of a single plant may work een changes for good or bad by depriv- ing other existing plants or animals of their usual sustenance.

We often rail at the despotic way they do tines over in Europe, but sometimes this des- Dotism takes a very practical turn. The other day they had a very heavy snow fall in Vienna, which incommoded everybody and pretty nearly put an end to traflic on the streets, But the authorities were equal to the occasion. An army of twelve thousand shovelers and Sweepers was set to work and, with the as- sistance of nine bundred carts and wagons, seraped together and then hauled away the superfluous snow.

Beneath our feet isagreat arch of fractured rock, through inngmerable crevices, In which everywhere along’its crest this invisible sub- Stance is constantly escaping into the open alr. Wherever water covers the surface along a line of fracture the gas is_seen bubbling up through it.

The riot Im London last Mondav re- sulted in @ reign of terror for over six hours. Probably 200 shops and a dozen club houses were seriously damaged and about 60 shops were pillaged, including jewelers, bakers, butchers and wine shops. Hundred of inoffen- sive people were maltreated. When Burns, the socialist orator, was driven from the Nelson monument be led the mob to the Carleton club, mounted the steps and again harangued them. Then the mob split up into several divisions, which were forced down different streets by the Pressure {rom Trafalgar square to get nearer the ‘Occurrences at, the club-houses, and the various divisions started off, hooting, howling and challenging the authorities.” The invaded streets were at once abandoned to the rioters, who, finding themselves no longer ‘opposed, vented their ill-will against well- Rowwed. -< yeu, and inst the clubs by stoning the dwellings and club- houses along the way. Then the mob made for Hyde park, where a meeting was to be held, cursing the ee attackin, shops, sacking saloons, getting drunk, an smashing windows en "route. -On its way to Hyde park the tront of the mob made an effort toenter the war office, but turned away when the sentinel at the entrance confronted the in- traders with his bayonet, Conspicuous among the buildings altacked ‘by this mob was that occupied by the Devonshire club, and that occu- Pied asaresidence by Mr. Arnold Morley, the newly-appointed patronage secretary. "The police, along the route to Hyde park were rushed out of the Ming by the riotors as so Many men of straw, and many of the officers were terribly whipped for their interference. Mr. Arnold Moriey’s residence was formerly occupied by John Bright, and was well known to many of the mob. When the rioters A proached the house Mr. Morley wasin. He loudly called for help, and a number of brave policemen for a moment stoog in the way of the men. But finally they wére swept aside like chaff, and a host of desperate men rushed up Mr. Morley’s steps. He had locked and bar- ricaded his door, but it was burst open against his face, and the’ house was overran, despite his frantic ‘screams and protests. When the in- vaders went away they left, scarcely a sound ne of glass in the building.

When the mob passed this locality many of the rank and file were hungry, and these made a rush forthe hotel. They ‘had it in their possession ina moment, and they sacked it of tood and drink, and left the building badly wrecked. As the men were leaving the hotel they saw a car- riage, which had been pressed up against the curb by the passing procession, and had been abandoned by its frightened occupants. It was seizes nd in an instant broken up, and the wheel spokes, shafts and other good pléces were carried away for clubs. The Turf Club's house, being in Piccadilly, presented a temptation to the rioters as they went by, and they smashed all its front doors and windows with stones.

Peo- ple would “How magnificent Mrs. Sprague 100KS lo-day But not a gown, not a chain, not an ornamentshe wore ever attracted attention except inasmuch ag it shared her beauty, She had magnificent diamonds, but nobody ever heard of them, and scarcely anybody ever no- ticed them. “Her gowns were gorgeous—I know of once when she got twenty-two ina bunch from Paris—but she eclipsed those gowns com- pletely.

From the New York Star. It is not altogether a new discovery that Dr. Edson, of the health board, has made with reference to the presence of disease germs in ice supplied for domestic consumption. Instances are recorded in the practice of almost every experienced city physician where typhoid fever or its affiliates have been developed after using ice taken from unclean, stagnant, miasmatic Ponds. Two years ago ‘a number of persons were made ill and several died at @ popular Long Island resort, where a leading hotel was supplied with ice from a “private pond” of stag- nant water. Itis quite as reasonabie to appre- hend that impure ice will preserve and convey the germs of disease as that these germs will be transmitted by tainted water, whether it be taken from a polluted river or ‘a stagnant lake that hag become foul through the decay of vege- tation and the heedlessness of ignorant peuple ‘who belleve that water purifies everything, no matter how vile the deposit. Next in importance to the purity of its water supply the city should see to it that the millions of tons of ice that are brought to market here every season are of unimpeachable quality, There ts @ large margin of ‘profit in the ted business, and the temptation to meet the mar- ket demand at the smailest possible expense is doubtless the cause of much toe being brought to the city that cannot be said to be above sus- Picion, and which a chemical or microscopical Lest would probably show to be tainted. If Dr. Eugon can point out how this is to be remedied, ‘and by what means the city may secure a puré and wholesome ice supply—whether by the ex- fension of the present functions of the health or the appointment of special inspectors, ag in the case of mili, meat, (rults and vege! tables—he will be regarded "in the light of public benefactor. ‘New York Correspondence Albany Journal.

Yesterday Officer Dawson saw the same man following a young lady who wore a heavy braid of golden hair, when he slipped into a store and exchanged his uniform for a citizen’s coat and hat. He soon caught up to the man, who was close behind the young lady, Justa he took hold of the coveted tresses ahd was about. to sever them with a pair of sharp shears which he carried in his pocket. The fellow was arrested and taken to the Cen- tral, where he gave the name of John N. Hen- derson, his age thirty-eight years, and his re- sidgneé as No. 247 North Ninth street, and he was locked up for a hearing this morning. Henderson is known tothe police. 4 one of the numerous elas who live by their wits, and be been arrested on several occasions for disreputable acts, but no charges of a serious character were ever before ere against him. An effort is being made to find where he disposed of the proceeds of his several robberies, as it is believed Uhat all the cherished tresses which have been severed from the fair heads during the past month have been secured ty Henderson. oe She Shocked the Divine. From the Elmira Gazette, A prominent divine was the invited guest of Mr. B. and family. Miss Alice, the charming daughter of the host, was gracing the festivity, and said impulsively: “Oh, mother, I've been roasting up in my room all afternoon. It’s hotter than—” “Alice,” said the father, sternly. “I say it's hotter than—” “Alice,” said her mother excitedly, and the diyine looked at her in alarm. “I say it's hotter than I ever saw it before,” continued the young lady coolly, and I just sat there without a thing on—” “Oh, Alice!” said her father in alarm. time the divine was thoroughly frightened. “I just sat there without a thing on—” “Ob, Alice!” said the mother almost ‘ing. “I say I Just sat there,” continued the girl, not noticing the interraptions, “I just sat there without a thing on except ‘my very lightest mmer clothing, and read my Bible all the afternoon, Will you have some more soup, doctor?” ——__se¢__ What Some Big Cities Do. From the Current. A city of 700,000 inhabitants will crowd its station-houses with able-bodied men to whom it denies work. At morning this city will empty the men out to beg along the residence streets. A footof snow will fall, The snow will le in the heart of that city until it has waxed fat with dirt and then the compound will partially melt and spoil the Christmas trade of the whole clty. The mixture will freeze again; another foot, and then another foot of snow will fall, and the whole will go into winter quarters for the following May, hon the complete preparation of diphtheritie filth is emptied out into the city’s drinking water, where the corpses of many of that city’s starved citizens already float, secure from ihe added perils of the succeeding winter, oe THE FoLLowine Nortce is posted conspicu- up In one of the leading hotels of ‘Oroville, Col.: “Warning.—This is a United States house, and that is the only language spoken here, Any guest using the words tour for tower, root for route, sweet for suit, commercial tourist for drummer, will immediately be waited uj @ commitiee from Butte county’s 601 ant ven two hours in which to leave the county, = A MINISTER ON TRIAL—The Rev.
