The following are culled from the speeches made at the recent Eugenic Congress in London : So long as women love strength and men love beauty, and mating is on these terms of preference, the human instinct will not go far wrong. iA “blue” is a greater asset than a “first” for a schoolmaster, lawyer, business min, and even a clergyman, i If I had to chose my father, I would ■ rather have a robust burglar than ' a consumptive bishop. , : There is |not the slightest evidence that talent; in any particular form is inherited. >, j Luther, Napoleon, and Abraham Lin!coin, are nothing surprises, j ! '! What' -tlip I world spites tdHhvalkU:' would, provide ohb : df l£ tlio most remarkable treatises ever, .written. Our preset sham nobility, ; recruited by proceeds of unhallowed unions of wealth and politics, .should be suppressed. .
