The Ancestor Of Man.

In reference to the question, from
which of the duadrumana did man orig
mate, Prof. Haeckel, in his recent
work ''The History of Creation, " gives
his opinion that the human race IS
small branch of the group OF cataTThl'71,
and has developed out of long since eX-
tinct apes of this group in the old world.
And when on this subject, he refers to
Prof. Huxley's remarks which show
that man is, nearly as much as the ape,
a four-handed animal; for various tribes
of men, the Chinese bOatmen, the Ben
0alee workmen, and the negroes when
climbing, use the great toe IN the same
manner as the monkey, and therefore
the possession of only a single pair OF
hands is not to be looked on as char
acteristic of the human race. lie also
points out a fact, necessary to be Cd
served by unscientiic people, namel y,
that none of the manlike apes are TO De
regarded as the parent of the human
race, but that the apelike progenitors
of the human are long since extinct. In
concluding his work, Prof. Haeckel re-
marks on the desire of some who are
not actually opponents Of the doctrine
Of descent. '.They wait" he says, ''the
sudden discovery of a human race with
tails, or of talking species of apes:
But such manifestations, the author OBJ
serves, would not furnish the proof de-
sired; and unthinking persons wouldbe
provided with as satisfactory (?) argu-
ments as they nowadays employ in hurl-
ing their defiance against all who are
evo1utionists.

Frozen to Death in the Middle Of May.

The Denver Nea0S of May p says:
Two Swedes, crossing the Snowy Range
on foot, left the Summit House, in
Berthond Pass, Sunday, and started
down the west slope. They were in
tending to 90 to Hot Sulphur Springs.
Both men carried bundles, or blankets
and provisions, each pack weighing 70
or 80 pounds. On Tuesday evening one
of the men returned to the Summit
House. He was now-blind, frost-bitten,
and had barely strength to walk. He
reported that his companion had frozen
to death. Soon after leaving the Sum-
NIT the storm set in, and they became
bewildered, benumbed with cold, and
lost their way. They threw away their
blankets to facilitate their movement,
and the matches with which they were
provided, being wet, refused to ignite.
Had they been experienced mountain
eers, they would have wrapped
themselves in their blankets and sunk
into the snow, where they might have
lived until the storm abated. The sur
vivor withstood the terrible exposure
and reached the Summit as above de-
scribed. A party of men at Summit
went down the trail, or road, and on
Wednesday found the dead Swede. The
snow was so deep that the removal OF
the body seemed out of the question
then, so they buried it temporarily un-
der six feet of snow, and will leave il
there until it's removal for permanent
burial can be effected. The dead mans
name was Gottfried Meyer. His com
panion's name has not been ascertained
Upon the body of the unfortunate Swedt
were found some photographs, natural
ization papers, the address of Samue
Beader, Denver, and some S15 in money

A Remarkable Egg story.

Dr.A. ID. Warren, of this city, has
remarkable production in the egg line,
which is attracting much attention and
causino considerable discussion. Mr..
Warren is a well-knOwn poultry fan
cier, and his game bantams have at
tracted a great deal of attention. A
dav or two since he noticed that one Of
his hens was in trouble, she having the
appearance of having had an egg
broken in her. She was accordingly
killed and opened, when perfectly
formed egg, as large as a goose egg,
was discovered This upon being put
in the scales was found TO weigh four
and three-fourth ounces. The egg was
then blown, and after the white and
yelk had been forced out it was found
shat inside was a second perfectly form
ed egg, which was also blown, and
found to contain a yelk and white in
ttheir proper pro portions. The only
difference between the outer shell and
the shell of an ordinary egg is tnat 1t IS
exceedingly brittle, and has to be ham
/ died with the utmost care to prevent
its breaking. The hen was but 2yearS
old, and weighed before the egg was re-
moved two and one half pounds -Wor-
cesteT Spy.

The Reported Migration of the Nor
mons Denied.

The New York Times says: For some
time past it has been occasionally stated
in the newspapers that the Mormons OF
Salt Lake City had purchased large lots
of land in the Territory Of New Mexico,
with the intention of moving there IN
body. Mr.. VIM. Jennings, a prOml-
nent Mormon citizen of Salt Lake CIty,
who is now here on his way to England,
was called upon at the Metropolitan
Hotel last evening by a Times reporter,
and in answer to question rs tOwheth-
er anv such removal was contemplated,
replied most emphatically in the mega
tive. The statements of the newspa-
per correspondents, he said, were sensa-
tional, and entirely erroneous. The
Mormons had built large city IN tan,
and had erected many large and hne
buildings, and they had not oxen and
horses enough to remove them to New
Mexico, or anywhere else. lie himself
had Il house three stories high, fifty feet
wide and seventy-fve deep, a large sta
BILE, hOthouses a beautiful garden, and
a lawn which had been pronounced by
horticulturists the finest in the United
States. These could not be removed,
and he had no intention OF
abandoning them. His Mormon
friends felt as he did in regard
to their property, and would certainly
continue to hold it. About two years
AGO the Mormons had sent about 200 OF
their number to Arizona as mlsslona-
ries, with the object of extending their
faith and making prO5elytes, but they
had been unsuccessful at that time.
Last winter another body OF 200 had
been sent to the same place with the
same object. 1t was the policy Ot the
Mormons to extend their religion as
much as possible throughout the whole
of the country adjoining Utah, IN order
to control the vote in each section II
they could, as they needed large area
of territory for their sect, which was
rapidly increasing by reason OF the
large number of proselytes continually
arriving from Europe. They had also
sent a mission to New Mexico, but 1t
consisted of few preachers only, who
were attempting to lead the people to
ioin the Mormon faith. In regard to
the statement that it was the Intention
of the Prophet Brigham Young to ap-
point his son Brigham to succeed him
as President of the Church, Mr.. Jen-
nings said that he did not think TINS
would be done, as there was cOnsldera-
bic opposition to the measure.

Josh Billings on Strawberries.

TIE strawberry is one ov natures

The color of the strawberry is like

with delicate splash Nv rain in it; its
fragrance is like the breath NV a baby
when it furst begins to eat wintergreen
lozzingers; its flavor is like the nectar

A Baby Smoker.

There's alittle shaver of our acquaint-
ance, three years of age, of most re-
spectacle parents, who has been an IN
yeterate tobacco smoker for several
months. He is never so happy as when
he is indulging in his regular puff at a
cigar or pipe, and strange to say the in
diligence of the pernicious habit does
not seem to harm him in the least. 1t
is amusing to watch him as he loads his
pipe, with what esgnerness he slows
away the charge, strikes the match and
pulls away. If you give him money ne
will treat himself to cigar and take
the most keen enjoyment while srnok-
| inc it. His father is quite a smoker
and it has been argued by some thai
the boy directly inherited the habit, and
| it is hoped that it will soon leave him
At any rate there is no help for it a
present; the boy will smoke, and effort:
TO deprive him of his tobacco have
decidedly i'll effect on the little fellow
/ It Is a singular case, and he seems Il
thrive on tobacco smoking, winch, i
INDUCED in by any other children of hi
age, would be likely to produce seriou
if not fatal r sults.-Cdpe Ann Mass.

A BaDy's Way.

1t was just about sunset, the street
had been sprinkled, and the residents
of the neighborhOod were grouped on
piazzas and door-steps enjoying them
selves in chat and watching the motions
of the children playing on the sidewalk.
Along the walk came man who looked
as though he might belong to the river
he had the general indescribable air OF
a boatman, and, additionally, it must
be confessed that he may have been
drinking. As he approached the chill
dren, they attracted his attention, and
he stopped to look at them. Then he
began muttering to himself, and un-
mindful of the people on an adjacent
doorstep, who could hear his words dis
tinctly: "There's pretty children. L
havn't any, now. wonder if they'd be
scared if 1 should speak to them" He
went up to the children and spoke to
one of them and took one of them, lit
tie boy, by the hand. Noting by In
stinct the rather disreputable appear
ance of the man, the boy caught away
his hand and ran, the other children IN
terror, initiating his example. pIsap-
pointed and hurt, the man turned away
to 90, when a wee, white-clad bit OF a
baby-girl, not yet big enough to talk,
turned about suddenly from the escaP-
ing covey, and toddled laughingly back
toward the man, holding out her hands.
The disreputable fellow caught her up
in his arms, and then She laid her chub-
by pink cheek against his grimy, un-
shaven one, and cuddled and cOoed as
only baby knows how to cuddle and
COO. The baby's mother, watching all
close by, did not interfere. The man
held the child for moment, and ther
put her down gently and hurried OF
with tears in his eyes. There was moth
ing very striking about the incident
but it did one rough fellow great dea
of good, and didn't hurt the baby.-St

Off With the Old Love and On With
the New.

AT 9 O'Clock on Monday night, says
the New York San, a closed carriage
drove up to the Police Central Office,
and Detectives Ferris and Williamson
handed out two well dressed ladies, who,
having been taken before Inspector
DermOtt, told the following story:
Mrs. Augusta Frazer, the mother,
now of 615 First Avenue, was formerly
well known actress of great personal
attractions. Her husband died two
years ago, leaving their, only child,
Augusta Frazer, II years of age, in heI
mothers care. Among Mrs. TFrazer's
friends! was a Mr.AW H. Fisher, q
wealthy retired merchant, of Forty-sixth
Street, near Fifth Avenue who, took a
deep interest in the widow and heI
daughter Some months ago he pro-
posed to Mrs Frazer and was accepted,
and then, previous to fulfilling her en-.
gagement, she went to Europe TO settle
up some property. "a a, ,-.rv-...-.-u
Mrs. Frazer left her daughter under
the care of some friends at 675 First
Avenue. In the mothers absence Mr.
Fisher called repeatedly upon the
daughter, and, becoming infatuated
proposed to her. Augusta Frazer ac-
cepted Mr.. Fishers offer, and to escape
her mothers friends went, to-live- witt
a family named White, at lForty-sev.
enth Street and Ninth Avenue.
Mrs. Frazer returned from Europe two
weeks ago, and was unable to find hel
daughter. None of her friends knew
whittier her daughter had been abduct-
ed. Mrs. Frazer called on Super-inten
dent Walling, and he detailed Detect
ives Ferris and Williamson to make al
investigation. They followed Mr.
Fisher to Mr.. Whites house, and learn
ing that Miss Frazer was secreted there
they arrested her. ri ,R ~ . 81
A reconciliation was effected between
mother and daughter yesterday. Tht
mother renounced all claims to, the af
fections of Mr.. Fisher in favor of he,
daughter, and a wedding is at hand.

A Remarkable Surgical Operation.

! About two years ago, waiter in q
/ Partisan restaurant undertook to initiate
the feats of the Chinese sword swallow
ers, by introducing fork, handle fore
most, into his throat, taking care to
hold the tines in his teeth. The attempt
was successful, and a repetition was de-
manded by the lOungers in the saloon.
The man complied; but while the fork
was in his esophagus, one of his COM
rades made an i'll timed joke; the per-
former grinned, let go the fork with his
teeth, and down it went. The pain was
intense. A physician was summoned,
who managed to seize the fork with a
forceps; but just as he was drawing it
up, the patient was seized with conyul-
sive coughing, the doctor was compell-
ed to relax his hold, and the fork slip
ped down all the way to the stomach.
The symptoms of asphyxia at once dis
appeared, and the man suffered no in
convenience for about two weeks. At
the end of that time, however, severe
gastric affections manifested themselves,
and the patient was sent to hospital,
where he has since, until last month,
remained suffering great agony. Is4
In the month of October last, it was
decided by the hospital physicians to
practise the extraordinary operation of
gastrotomy, that is, to cut directly into
the stomach and extract the obstacle.
1t was at first attempted to determine
adherences of the viscera from out, in
wards, by means of caustics; but this
not succeeding, a triangular zone,
wherein no essential organs were in
cluded, was selected as the point of
perforation. In April, the incision was
made, the layers of tissue being dis
sec.ed away one after another. The
envelope of the stomach was attained,
cut, and piece removed. The stomach
itself was then opened, and pincers in
troduced; and after a few attempts,
the fork was grasped and withdrawn.
The wound was closed, and is now
nearly healed, the patient suffering only
from a slight stomachic fistula, already
IN process of obliteration. The fork
was perfectly black, but otherwise un-
phaDnp1 r.
