Antiquity of Man.

1t has of late been the belief of large
class of men of science that the exist
ence of the human race on the earth
dates much further than was generally
supposed, while the followers of Darwin
and Lubbock have claimed that the hui
man race has been in q constant state
of progression from barbarism and
british ancestry. Accounts were given
of human skeleton unearthed by the
quarrymen in Neander valley, near the
Dussel, at Eloenfeldt, in Rhetish Prus-
sia. The professors pronounced it to be
of great antiquity, and were of the
opinion that the Neander man, whose
bones possessed in general the same
qualities which characterize the man.
moth found in neighboring districts, and
inclosed in the same diluvial loan, lived
together with the mammoth and other
extinct animals of the drift period. The
skull was the subject of measurement
and calculation of brain power. Its
capacity was found to be about equal to
that of the average Polynesian and Hot
tentot, and while the opinion of geolo-
gists differed in regard to minor points,
all admitted the great antiquity of the
skull and bones. A discovery has just
been reported in Kansas, which, if veri-
fed, is far more remarkable than the
above described. The Usage Mission
(Kansas) Journal says that q human
skull was recently found near that place
imbedded in q solid rock, which was
broken open by blasting. DR.. J. G.
Weierley, of Usage Mission, compared
it with q modern skull which he had in
his Office, found that it resembled the
latter in it's general share, though it was
an inch and . quarter larger in its
greatest diameter, and much better de-
veloped in some other particulars. He

size, imbedded in conglomary rock of
the tertiary class, and found several
feet beneath the surface. Parts of the
frontal, parietal and occipital bones
were carried away by explosion. The
piece of rock holding the remains weighs
some forty or fifty pounds, with many
impressions of marine shells, and
through it runs a vein of quartz, or
within the cranium crystalized organic
matter and by the aid of microscope
presents beautiful appearance Ifthis
be fact, and it seems to bear the i'm
press of truth in the description,
neither Lyell nor Hugh Miller, nor any
of the rest of the subterranean explor-
ers report anything SO strange. The
Neander man comes the nearest to it,
but the Neanderthal bones were found
in loan only two or three feet beneath
the surface. This skull was discovered
in solid rock. Ii the Kansas discovery
be real, it is worthy of a thorough
scientific investigation.

Fruits Of Siam.

Siam is verify the queen of the tropics
in regard to the abundance, variety and
unequaledJ JlusciOusness of her fruits.
Here are found those of China, greatly
enriched in tint and flavor by being
transplanted to this warmer climate !;
and those of Western Asia, in this fruit
full soil far more productive than in the
sterile regions of Persia and Arabia :;
while numberless varieties from the
Malayan and Indian archipelagoes,
united with the host of those indigo
nous to the country, complete list of
some two hundred or more species of
edible fruits. In this cline of peren-
NAL freshness trees bear nearly the
year round, and so productive is the soil
that the annual produce is almost in
credible. The tax on orchards alone
yields to the Crown a revenue of some
five millions of dollars per annum, as
was informed by the late ''second king"
of Siam. 1t is not unusnal to find on
single branch the bud and blossom,
together with fruit in several different
stages. Thus, at the merest trifie of ex-
pense table may be supplied during
the entire year with forty or fifty speci-
mems of fresh, ripe fruit. Among these
are many varieties of oranges and pine
apples, pumeloes, shaddocks, pawpaws,
guavas, bananas, plantains, durians,
jack-fruit, melons, grapes, mangoes,
cocoa-nuts, pomegranates, soursaps,
linchies, custard apples, bread-fruit,
cassew-nuts, plums, tamarinds, mango
steens, rambustans, and scores of others
for which we have no names in our Ian
guage. Tropical fruits are generally
juicy, sweet with a slight admIxture of
acid, luscious, and peculiarly agreeable
in warm climate and when partaken
of with temperance and due regard to
quality they are highly promotive of
health. For this reason Boodhists re-
gard the destruction of fruit tree as
quite an act of sacrilege, and their sa-
cred books pronounce heavy maledic-
tion on those who wantonly commit so
great CRIME. One who has tasted the
fruits of the tropics only at distance
from the soil that produces them can
form no conception of the real flavor of
plums and grapes that never felt the
frosty atmosphere of our northern
cline; of oranges plucked ripe from
the fragrant stem and eaten fresh while
the morning dew still glitters on their
golden-tinted cheeks of the rare, rosy
pomegranate juice, luscious as nectar

Injuries Of the Ear.

"Among the causes of injury to the
ear must unfortunately be reckoned
bathing. Not that this most important
and heathful pleasure need, therefore,
be in the least discouraged but it
should be wisely regulated. Staying
too long in the water certainly tends to
produce deafness as well as other evils;
and it is practice against which young
persons of both sexes should be care
fully on their guard. But independently
of this, swimming and floating are at
tended with certain danger from the
difficulty of preventing the entrance of
water into the ear in those positions.
Now, no cold fluid should ever enter
the ear cold water is always more or
less irritating, and, if used for syring.
ing, rapidly produces extreme giddi-
ness. In the case of warm water, its
entrance into the ear is less objection
able, but even this is not free from
disadvantage. Often the water lodges
in the ears and produces an uncomfort-
able sensation till it is removed this
should always be taken as a sign of
danger. That the risk to hearing from
unwise bathing is not fancy is proved
by the fact, well known to lovers of
dogs, that those animals, if in the habit
of jumping or being thrown into the
water, so that their heads are covered,
frequently become deaf. A knowledge
of the danger is a sufficient guard. To
be safe it is only necessary to keep the
water from entering the ear. If this
cannot be accomplished otherwise, the
head may be covered. II should be
added however, that wet hair, whether
from bathing or washing, may be
cause of deafness, if it be suffered to
dry of itself. Whenever wetted, the
hair should be wiped till it is fairly dry.
Nor ought the practice of moistening the
hair with water, to make it curl, to pass
without remOnstrance. To leave wet
hair about the ears is to run great risk
of injuring them. In the washing of
children, too, care should be taken that
all the little folds of the outer ear are
carefully and gently dried with soft
towel. ."-iScientifc american.

Reading has been happily defined to
be clearing with the eyes," And 1t
has some very decided advantages over
"hearing with the ears" In whatever
we receive through the speech of others
we are subject to their whims or pur-
poses. 1t may be agreeable, or far
otherwise, for we have no choice in the
matter, and must accept what is offered,
or walk away, which to do is not always
polite. As to "closing the ears" that
is an expression too metaphorical to be
practical. The latent curiosity of human
beings compeIs them to listen, whether
they like it or not. Unpleasant words,
or unpleasant sounds will persistently
annoy. One cannot stop them. But
s'hearing with eyes" is much more
manageable matter. We can shut the
book. or throw down the newspaper.
To read, or not to read is entirely within
our own volition.
Having free choice in the matter OF
reading, our reading matter should be
we'll selected. If good, it is mental
sustenance; if bad, mental poison.
Appetite grows by what it feeds on !;
and inasmuch as tastes become per-
verted, he who reads most may often
read to the most mental disadvantage.
1t is pleasant to think, as some hopeful
people do, that the prevalent tendency
is now in favor of useful reading. But
it is evident, Notwithstanding that there
are large classes of readers, especially
among the young, who mig ght much
better be asleep than employed over the
sensational stuff which not only wastes
their time, but perverts their principles.
False views of life are created, and false
notions of right and wrong.

Death.--The Dread Of Dying.

Death with all its terrors, is not so
much to be dreaded as men suppose.
All the known evidence upon the SUBJ
ject goes to show that at the last it is
but a painless sleep. At 90 we talk
sentimentally about it, or jestingly, or
defiantly. At 40 we are of more seri-
GUS mood we carry grave or two in
our hearts, and scarce care to stroll for
choice in churchyards.
At 60 we have accepted it as a dire
necessity. Friend after friend has dis
appeared over that steep hill and the
command to climb may come to us at
any time" OF the feelings and last
words of the dying, he says: "The old
man pirates pleasantly of the pastime of
his sturdy youth, the old woman laughs
again lovingly to her boy lover, and
Napoleon expires lonely exile at St.
Helena, with last proud cry of Tete
d'armee." DR.. Bailie said that in his
vast experience he had never known
more than one out of every fifty dying
men quit life one whit more conscious
than when they entered it. 'Light,
more light !" cries Goethe with his part
ing breath. DR.. Cullen, when dying,
family intimates to friend: 81 wish l
could write; 1 would describe how
pleasant thing it is to die"
Bacon, at the point of death, writes
with incapable fingers of the snow
stuffed fowl which cost him life. DR..
Black, while eating bread and milk,
dies so TRANQUILITY that his stiffened
fingers grasp the spoon with its contents
unspilled. Coffee cup in hand, the
spirit of Charles Blagden passes away,
while Guy Lussac notes the cup of un-
tasted coffee in the dead mans hand,
not drop having fallen to the ground.
''That we live in the shadow of death
is true, but the shadow is no terrible
darkness that need scare or terrify us,
and when it completely envelopes us we
shall be only
Like one who wraps the drApery Of his couch
About him. and lies down to pleasant dreams"

Mr. Green was gOOd-lOOk1ng man,
very-he dressed well-was we'll posted
up in matters of business. and had the
reputation of being a smart man. But
Mr.. Green had lived thirty years with.
out q wife. 1t wasn't his fault, for he
was fond of the society of the fairer sex,
owned fine house, which he rented fol
his board, and there were plenty OF
manageable ladies in the village.
How happened it, then, that Mr..
Green remained in a state of single
blessedness Want of courage. Mr..
Green was a coward among the ladies'.
True, he could pick up a lady's hand
kerchief, hold skein of yarn, or give
his arm in the politest manner to escort
a lady from church. He had seen at
least half dozen women he would have
married, or, who would have married
him, but he never could muster suffi-
cient courage to ask either of them
whether she would or not.
One evening he was visiting at the
widow Smith's-Widow Smith - not
twenty-six years had flown over her
head, and yet she had been a widow
three years, and had long put off her
widows weeds. She was pretty, had
placed her only child beside her hus-
band in the graveyard, and sighed for
a companion; and many time had she
remarked to her friends she wondered
why Mr.. Green did not get married. He
was an occasional caller at her house,
and would have married her at an hour
notice. But she did not know it. He
had never whispered to her of love.
He could talk about the crops-the
growth of the village-the industry of
the young men, and all other matters
which the widow did not care to hear
about, but the Zone thing" which would
have struck her ear as the sweetest of
sounds, he never mentioned.
On the evening in question, the
widow was excessively annoyed by her
domestics. Hardly was Mr.. Green
seated when Bridget made her appear
ance at the door.
''Mrs. Smith, if it place you," said
the domestic, twill you look into the
kitchen for minute?"
Scarcely had Mrs. Smith returned,
when the bushy head of john, the hired
man, was thrust into the door, with:
"Mrs. Smith"
"How 1 hate the name of Smith 7"
said the lady.
Mr.. Green's eyes dilated for a mo-
ment-he opened his mouth and ex-
claimed in hurried accents:
"Make it Green, ma'am make it
Green" !"
And in less than a month there was
no Widow Smith" in our village.
