Points "Where the Characteristics of An* ??-::?}. ? ccstors Control Man. there is a theory, you know, that- we inherit traits and conditions from our re? mote ancestors as well as from our im? mediate ones. I sometimes fancy that they descend to some people with a time lock attachment. A child is born; he la like his mother, we will say; gentle, sweet, kind, truthful for years?let us say seven.

He is an exemplary hus? band and father, as men go, an ideal bus? iness man and a general favorite in soci? ety. Everybody reniarks upon the fa? vorable change since his stupid, priggish college days. All this time through every chango he has been honorable and upright in his dealings with bis fellows.

A Diamond In the Fire. . .. . ? There is a very unhappy young maiden at the branch telephono exchange at Hunt and Broadway.

'One clothe roles of the exchangef requires the young ladies, when they sharpen their lead pencils, to gather .up the chips in a little paper, call the check boy and have them threnvn in the stove. - In the case of the .diamond ring, the check boy took it for. granted that the package handed him was the pencil (chips and tossed it In the stove, in which tat^^time^therewas a re^otfire, . 4B^ery.effort was made to find the ring, but not even the diamond has been re? covered.

New London Telegram. John Wesley on Demoniacal Possession. In England the same warfare went on. John Locke had asserted the truth, but the theological view continued to control public opinion. Most prominent among those who exercised great power against the truth was John "Wesley, and the greatness and beauty of his- character srnade his influence in this respect all the more- _a?c^rtuna te. The same servitude to the mere-Btter of _<^pture which led him to declare that "to give- up witch? craft is to give up ti-e^Bible and to take ground against the fundamental truths of tiiedogyj^. cOT regard to Insanity. He insisted, on the authority of the Old Testament, that bodily diseases are sometimes caused by devils, and upon the authority of the New Testament, that the gods of the heathen were demons; he believed that dreams, -while in some cases caused by bodily conditions and passions, are shown by scripture to be also .caused by occult powers of evil; he cites a phy? sician to prove that "most lunatics are really. demoniacs.w In bis-great sermon on "Ev? Angels," he dwells upon this point especially; re? sists the idea that "posse_sIonrt may be epilepsy, even though ordinary Symp? toms of epilepsy be present; protests against "giving up to infidels such proofs of an invisible world as are to be found in diabolic possession," and evidently be? lieves that some who have been made hysterical by his own preaching are "possessed of Satan." On all ? this, and much more to the same effect, he in? sisted with all the power given to him by his deep religious nature, his wonder? ful familiarity with the Sciiptures, his natural acumen, and his eloquence. . But here, too, science continued its work. The old belief was steadily un? dermined; an atmosphere favorable to tiie truth became more and more de? veloped, and the act of parliament in 1785, which banished the crime of witch craftfrom the statute book, was the be? ginning of the end.?Andrew D. White in Popular Science Monthly. Moon Fables. A maiden was accustomed to spin late onSaturday in the moonlight At one timethe new moon on the, eve of Sunday drew her up to itself, and now she sits in the moon and spins and spins. And now, when the "gossamer days" set in late in the summer, the white threads float around in the air. These threads aro the jpinnihg of the lunar spinner.. The moon is especially a ghostly avenger of human arrogance, and has its humors, according to which things go well or ill with it. In its increase it has i special force and a certain goodwill forfjio earth and ?t? inhabitants, while I iii its decrease Irisrr^ ' Tho good woman must not do any sewing in the decrease of the moon, for the stitches will not hold; farming tools must : noti he left in the field, because it is be? lieved, if they are, crops will not again thrivethere. If an unbaptized child Is exposed to the moonlight, it will lose its luck for its whole life. If 'one points at. the moon with the finger, he wfil suffer from swelling around the nail; and whoever spits at the moon will lose all his teeth. These beliefs, too, are international. Tho same is the case with the religious notions about the new moon. Sorceries of every kind, to be successful, must bo performed on Sunday night of the new moon. The hair must be cut only In the increase of the moon, otherwise there is danger of getting headache. If a person returning home In the evening Bees the full moon, he ought to take some money out of his purse, and utter an incantation that will make it Increase a hundred times during the month. The moon is also supposed to have an ? influence over animals and plants.?Dr. F. S. Krauss in Popular Science Monthly. _ Imitation Wlnos. "We. have never yet heard of a wine merchant quixotic enough to deal avow? edly in "imitation wmeSj^says a London journal, or even to Inform his customers that -the' champagnes and clarets, sau ternes and burgundies with which he sup? plies them at so many shillings a dozen, were imported into France for conver? sion from Spain, Italy, Hungary, Greece, or even far California. It is still less . agreeable, from the purchaser's point of view, to reflect that these so called wines were manufactured of all sorts of hete? rogeneous ingredients at Hamburg, the headquarters of continental falsification ?a city In which more "vin de Bor? deaux" is annually produced than in the whole department of the Girondo, lust as more "Havanas" are fabricated than go to three times the entire yield of all the Cuban tobacco plantations. With respect to these' malpractices, heavy charges,'we regret to say, only too solidly founded on fact, have of late been brought against tho wine trade, by persons manifestly well acquainted with the nefarious maneuvers in which grow? ers and shippers, importers and retailers alike, are leagued together with the com? mon purpose of defrauding the consumer. Their victim being the only honest man' connected with the whole transaction? that is, if he pays his winebill?is neces? sarily at the mercy of so formidable a hostile coalition, and is fore condemned, so to speak, without benefit of clergy, to exchange good money for worthless wares, deliberately palmed upon him un? der false pretensei?Boston- Herald What She Gave. "Oh dear, Tve nothln' to put In the - box for foreign missions!" complained a little girl of our acquaintance. "No," said hex friend, as she gave the little maid a caress, "but you are a little home missionary." . And was she not? She spent an hour that morning amusing her baby sister, who was cross with cutting teeth. She sewed up a tear in brother Ned's ball, and hunted up some twine for his kite string,-and she did it with a smiling face, and not a word of being bothered. Yesterday this little homo missionary attended the door bell for Mary,' the housemaid, and let her goto visit her sick child. Meantime she wrote a letter to her absent father,, who. Was away on business, in which she told him all the home news in a frank, artless way, giv? ingthe man a thrill of loving pride and pleasure in his little daughter. She listened to one of grandma's old stories, told many times before, with patient attention. She laughed just at the right time to please tho old lady, and ' when it was ended, she- said: ; "That's ' one of your good old stories, grandnia.^.;;' In many ways did this little maid help and cheer her mother. So, though she' could not contribute to the aid of foreign mission, she gave what could to add to the happiness of those about her, and who can do better than that??Youth's Companion. How to Deal with Diphtheria.

In the absence of these necessary facilities for thorough isolation it is im? possible to exercise an efficient control Over the various dangerous diseases that from time to time become epidemic in the city, and which have gained a permanent foothold here.?Boston Journal. Carried the Proofs with Them. Two ex-Confederates who applied for allowance under tho maimed soldier act showed strong proof that they were badly hurt during the war. About 2 o'clock Mr. Lucius Maxwell walked in, and taking from bis pocket an old Con? federate passport slowly unwound it and laid before Col. Tip Harrison six pieces of his skull. Mr, Maxwell was a mem? ber of tho Forty-second Georgia regi? ment, and received a terrible wound In the head in one of the battles around Atlanta in July, 1864. About 4 o'clock Mr. Josephus Biden came In and took from bis pocketbook a piece of his own skull which he has preserved all these years, Mr. Biden was a member of the Thirty-fourth Georgia regiment, and was shot in the top of his head at the battle pf Jonesbora To this day these unfor? tunate veterans' still suffer from the effects of their dangerous wounds, and have never been able to do steady work since they were received. It is hardly necessary to add that the applications of both were promptly allowed.?Atlanta Constitution. Lady Travelers. A great deal Is said and written tend? ing to show that the gentler sex know as little about traveling as the sterner sex know of fashion plates, but it Is about time to call a halt on that proposition. Traveling by rail has become, so common that there are very few ladies, migrants excluded, and among that class the men know as little as the women,'who are notperfe ' capable of taking care of themselve i a journey of a few hun? dred miles. They are as speedily served with tickets as the average man, and more readily disposed of than many of the latter, and ask fewer questions as to when the train will depart, where It can' be found, how often they will be com? pelled to change cars, etc Theageis ?progressive, and in railroad traveling the ladies are keeping right up with the procession.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The next morning he was going down town and he met one of his 61 d weal'hy members. The old fellew met the preacher, and be said : "Pastor, yon preached a good sermon about heaven, but you never told me where heaven is." '*Ah," said the pastor, "I am glad of the opportunity this morning, t have just come from the hill top yonder. In that cottage is a member of your church.

Tbe next morning he said: "Pastor, I saw heaven, and I spent fifteen minutes in heaven as sura as you are listening." ? Wealeyan Christian Advocate. True Words?Pay Your Debts. A Marietta young man who has made a success in bis own business, never made a truer utterance than when he said, "No man can succeed in any community who fails to pay his debts." You can watch it when you may, and tbe man who pays his debts has tbe confidence of the |* people and is aided, and has a good word spoken constantly in his favor, while tbe man who owes nearly everybody and pays nobody is marked, "No Good," and soon finds the road down hill greased for tbe occasion. Old man, young man, if you would be honored, trusted and prosperous in any community, be industrious, keep your word, abstain from whiskey, and pay your debts. If you think you can reach tbe goal of success by a shorter route than pursuing the safe but straight road of honesty, you will be sadly mista? ken. All along the road of dishonesty you will find human wrecks, bleaching skeletons of bankrupt characters, crimi? nal, blasted hope and dishonored na. es. Stand true to tbe principles of integrity, pay your debt*, and be "the noblest work of God," "au honest mm." With the "new year" turn over a new leaf, deserve the confidence of your fellow men and you will receive it. A good name is bet? ter than great riches. Happiness can never ,be attained, while a guilty con science lashes itself like an untamed lion in a cage. True happiness comes from right living and right doing. Be true to thyself and.

They will travel in two private cars, which gives some idea of the size of the party. They Will be in the hands of.John H. In man and John C. Calhoun, two noted cham? pions of Southern progress and develop? ment. Their Intention is to visit Charles? ton, Savannsb, and Brunswick, with a view to examining those, ports as outlets for the vast amount of liew business that is to be developed by recent railroad alli? ances and the prospective growth of all material interests in tbeSouib. Tbe Hon. Abram S. Hewitt and bis brother in law, ex-Mayor Ed ward Cooper, will be among tbe distinguished members of tbe excursion party. The whole crowd are obstensibly going on a pleasure trip, bat it is whispered on good authority that Messrs. Hewitt and Cooper will not be bent on pleasure solely. Mr. Hewitt is reliably reported to have said that his principal purpose in making tbe trip was to carefully examine some of tbe coal fields and iron ore districts of Tennessee and Georgia, and that, if his examination confirms tbe accounts he has had of the vast coal and mineral resources of those States, he will probably move his entire iron manufactory plant, now in Pennsyl? vania, to tbe Sooth, and most likely locate either in Tennesser or Georgia. This possibility foreshadows a thing of great? est importance to the South, as Mr. Hewitt employs in hisPenn?ylvania iron industry over 2,000 men, and a change of base would involve bis currying all those hands, with tbeir families, to bis new field of operation. It is impossible to say ex-1 actly where he may locate, as he has no preceived preference, but will be govern? ed entirely by his inspection of the whole territory, and settle wherever he finds the greatest advantages. ? A party of scientific gentlemen recently performed a series of electrical experiments on tbe animals in a mena? gerie at Bridgeport, Conn. The baboon, the sea lion and Beals, monkeys, tbe ele? phants and other animals were treated to doses of the electric current.
