a preparation having for its basis tie inside
bark of white pine might be so compounded
as To he very useful IN diseases OF the throat
and lungs. To test the value oft in the case
alluded TO. 1 compounded a small quantity
OF the medicine that had been planning,
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
days the irritation OF the throat was remov-
Ell, the cough subsidized and n speedy cure
WAS effected. Soon after this, sent some 10

suffering for some weeks from n bad cough,

DON'T Plan U,ifh Babics.

Especially with those whose moth

Young America has too many nerves

For the first three or four months

him not be caught up and tossed up
and tickled and cackled at by every
one who comes along Keep him

chubby" want TO enjoy the baby, let
him approach him carefully, rever-
entity, snug him up gently, talk to
him soothingly and sensibly, and have
a good time generally with him with,
out getting him all on springs and
making fool of him.
After he is able TO talk do not say
smart things to him and teach him to
make pert replies, and when old enough
TO be sensitive TO remarks do not say
Of him in his presence, as though he
had no sensibility, "What a little

fed regularly, and at physiologically
intervals, with plenty Of simple, nutri-
eious food, avoiding all stimulants-
even flesh meats in his earlier growing
years-in both food and drink. Get
him to sleep in the day time and to
bed early nights, and let him sleep as
long as be will. In short, let him live

Let him touch the ground, play on

uaya more ahundant than ihc honcs
Those have been traced through tho
various geological cyolcs known o.
the age of the cavc.bear the ago Of
the roindcor. .-cio Rude drawings on
oiohinrs. representing The extinct ami
mails. have been found among the
o,hcr debris Of The lastnpmed period
The skull which have been discovered
have barhaous outline. A fat fore
head, dccpsct eyes, largo mouth aud
a recedinr ohin-such were the traits
Of these autochthones Of Europe Ia
these skulls authropologists profess
10 trace a history of migrations long
before the dawn Of history They see
Asiatic types gradually supplanting
the native forms, and trace success
sively the Tauranian and the Aryan
invasions. Certain remains Of bones,
broken and roasted, have led to the
conclusion that some at least of these
primitive races were cannibals,
though this is question still under
discussion.
Calculating upon the basis of these
geological evidences, the period of the
first appearance OF man upon earth is
carried back TO very remote times
The endless chronologies Of Egypt
and China are more rivalled in these
modern speeulations. Itmust be borne
in mind that all such inquiries arc en-
vironed with great difficulties. One of
the most apparent OF these is the fact
that man is a burying animal. He in
ters his dead sometimesin in caves, some
tunes below the surface of the earth.
The presence of human remains, there
fore. 10 company with those Of extinct
animals, is no evidence Of the contem-
poraneous existence of man. Nor are
stone implements and dolmens neces-
sarily indications ofextreme antiquity
Our own Indians made stone arrows
and hatchets just before the arrival Of
the white man, and recent travellers
tell us of an East Indian tribe that at
this day are erecting dolmens. The
science of anthropogy is very young,
and modesty becomes yodth.-BGtti-
