USELESS MEMBERS OF THE BODY
1t is one of the favorite notions of the new
school of evolutionists those who believe
the highest forms of animal development
had beginning as low down as life ever
was when vitality first appeared, in ascend
ing the upward scale, have gradually lost
some Of their organs, while new ones have
appeared, according to their demands in the
sphere they are to act. z1st .ae5st5at
On this theory, as soon as man became
biped tail was of no further use, and
being neglected, it received less and less
nutrition through the circulation, and final
ly disappeared entirely. This is the way
our ancestors got rid of their tails, on the
Darwinian explanation.
By the same law, if the birds were to
fly, they will after while lose their wings
by degeneracy. No doubt the penguins,
becoming indolent and preferring an easy
life without exertion on the rolling waves,
thus lost their once broad pinions, on which
the first penguins foated in the air as their
degenerate progeny sail on the sea.
The moral, therefore, is this-keep all
our members actively employed. If we
relax, we may lose our hands, our feet, or
both, and to our surprise find ourselves
once more turned into seals or an ourang
outang with a tail. EaL rat3as

AMERICAN MONSTERS. There was
period in the history Of this continent when
elephants and mammoths were numerous.
Which of the two lived first, or whether
they lived at the same time, cannot be de-
termined. But that the mammoth far ex-
ceeded in stature the elephant, is album
dainty proven by their skeletons. They
appear to have had range from regions Of
the Ohio river, and plains of the Nissis-
sippi and Missouri rivers, quite across the
great mountain ranges to the borders of
the Pacific, bounded northerly in latitude
about forty-seven. 81
sr Probably the Rocky Mountains had not
their present elevation when the mammoth
roamed over that vast extent of country in
which their bones are found. In 1870 a
tusk of one of those monster quadruped
was found in gorge of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains nearly eight feet in length, al
most a foot in diameter at the root. II was
exhibited at San Francisco. I'll, Ea
How shall the problem of The day of ex-
termination be solved? They evidently
disappeared suddenly, but they must have
been numerous, living to great age, since
their teeth indicate long service. Ohio and
illinois were favorable haunts, no doubt,

EVENING, MAY IS, 1872
The Rishts Of some women

We have in mind two among the most
agreeable women we have ever met, both
in manners and general cultivation, who
are fitted personally to adorn any drawing
room, and who can converse intelligently
on any. subject which may be preached
there, but who are not in general society,
in the town where they live, simply be-
cause one OF them is dressmaker and the
other milliner. Both devote their even
ings to reading and study; they travel,
they hear the best music, and are familiar
with the best thoughts Of the day and to
the few who are really acquainted with
them, they are valued friends. But they
are not often invited--because nobody
thinks of it. Can society afford to do with
out such women as these? And their case
is not exceptional. 1t is true that there
are scores of young girls in our shops
whose breeding and whole appearance are
very questionable, and. who could not be
received, at present, into polite society,"
But do we hold out any indlcements.to them
to cultivate themselves? Do they see that
those in their position who have become
refined and intelligent are any better off,
socially, than themselves? Nay, may not
they seem rather worse off, as having lost a
taste for one kind of society, and failed to
obtain admission to another?
But, it may be answered, we have
church sociables for these very people.
Yes, we have !; and most of them are very
poor affairs indeed. Would it do YOU
much good, if you were shop-girl, to 90
once month to tea, at church parlor,
and be waited on with condescending assid.
uity by Mrs. Jones, who never speaks to
you In the shop except to give an order +?
Or do you even care much for her kinder
and more thoughtful neighbor, whom you
always like to serve, because of her gentle
ways, when she urges you to come to
these sociables and ''get acquainted,o and
never would think Of asking you to her
house for that purpose, no matter how un-
exceptionable your English and your dress?
Our rule is not so revolutionary as it
seems. We do believe in an arrangement
OF society which shall permit the introduce
ton of all worthy to take place in it
society where, at least for those not native
to it, the qualifications shall be refinement
and intelligence. Some are in who ought
to be out, no doubt; but this cannot be
helped. 1t is for those who are out and
ought to be in that we now speak.

III. FERTILIzING PROPERTIES OF
BoNEs.-The true value of all kinds of
bones, aside from their Importance in the
arts of handles, rings, paint, clarifying
sugar, etc., is fast beginning to be appre-
ciated in this country. People were horri-
lied few years since by the published ac-
count of the tons of human bones trans
ported from the battlefield of Waterloo. to
be ground and strewn over the worn out
lands of Europe. From immemorial time
it has been known that vegetation thriyes
immensely in ygrave-yards, and particularly
trees. <
Now, it is neither the gelatine or glue
which holds the particles of bone together,
nor the lime Of which they are composed,
which gives activity to vegetable growth
alone, but the phosphorus in them, that in
ilammable material of which matches are
manufactured, known in its combination as
phosphate of lime, that plants seize upon
with avidity as food. Nothing else within
the range of agricultural experience so
rapidly develops the cellular structure.
To be most useful, the bones should be
pulverized, and that enables water to make
aquicker solution of the phosphate which
the minute rootlets Immediately absorb
and circulate in the shaft, leaves and fruit.
Save the bones, therefore. Let nothing go
to waste. There are actual treasures con
cealed in a dry bone if the right course is
pursued to extract them. u
In the skeleton of a horse, an OK, or
even in dogs and cats, there are from about
one to four pounds of pure phosphorus.
The carcass Of any of those animals, cut
up and distributed among fruit trees, in
stead of being buried out of the way as a
nuisance, would be to them rich enter
tainment of delicious food.
