Man in the Inter.Glacial Age.

Mr.. Sydney u. ]. Skertchly, Of the
British Geological Society, has been
contributing II series of articles to the
English Mechanic on the ever fresh tonic
of the antiquity of man, His closing
essay he sums up rs follows: The
question whether man was or was not
in existence during the great cycle Of
the glacial period is settled in the affirm
alive. The evidence j. 50 clear, and
has been obtained i'll such widely sepa-
rated areas, that il would be astonishing
it is not universally accepted, did we
not know that such has been the history
of all scientific discovery. In the year
1888 the evidence of mans cotempo-
raneitN with extinct mammals was rs
complete rs it is to-day, but for thirty
years it was disregarded. Can we won
der, then, that the belief in the inter-
glacial age of man makes but slow
progress?" Following Lubbock's Pre-
historic Man." Mr. Skertchly has these
great divisions: First, historic period ;
second, the iron age third, the bronze
age; fourth, the neolithic or stone age,
and fifth, the paleolithic or drift age;
the most ancient of all. The first four
periods, Mr.. Skertchly classities Ms post
glacial; the last he believes to be glacial.
This glacial age he subdivides into four
periods of excessive cold and ice, rep
resented respectively by the lower
boulder clay, the ohalky boulder clay
the purple boulder clay and the Hessle
boulder elay-the tirst-named being the
earliest. Between these formations Mr..
Skertchly places three inter.glacal pc
RODS, the early, intermediate and late
palmolithic. Accepting Croll's theory
of the origin of climatic changes, the
glacial period began about 100000 years
ago, and ended about $4,000 years ago
This would make the age Of the carly
pal@olthic period about 10000 years,
and to this period Mr.. Skertchly believes
the first recognized traces of man clear
ly belong.

THE LAKE CHAMpL1IN SERPENT.
A Resident Of Maqnam Sees and De-
Scribes Him Miuutcly.

Mr.. Holmes Record, y farmer living
on the shore Of Maqusm Bay, says the
ST. Adams Advertiser, saw on Saturday
last what he believes to have been n
genuine sea-serpent. He was NJ work
near the shore with his hired man,
when his attention was called TO the WA
ter Of the bay by sound resembling
the discharge Of y gun. Upon looking
out on the bay, both men saw an an
imal moving in y northerly direction,
with head shaped like 4 serpent, only
much larger. Apparently the greater
part Of the monster VAS under water,
but about fifteen feet could be distinct
~ seen above the surface. The body
was jointed and appeared like Jumps
connected with each other by narrow
sections. After viewing it for some
time with the naked eye, he sent TO
his house for q spy-glaSs, but il was
too small and the air too haZy to
be of much value. They saw the
animal distinctly for about two
hours, during which time he appeared
to be about sixty rods distant, and
moved slowly, and, at short intervals,

powder, followed by loud roar The
wind finally changed to the north, and
the monster raised his head several feet
out of the water, AMI, turning round,
went south with greater speed, and
soon disappeared from sight. Both
men watched him while he was visible,
and could distinctly see the outline of
his shape and form. He splashed the
water rs he moved along, the propelling
motion being apparently concentrated
IN his head and tail. He moved in un.
dulations both up and down and from
side to side. Mr.. Record is said by
prominent citizens OF Swanton to he n
very trustworthy man, with reputa-
ton for strict veraeity, and more in
clined to make story appear less than
it is than to exaggerate. The monster
is probably the same one seen several
days ago by three respectable citizens
of st. Adams, whose description
comedies with that of Mr.. Record; so
that the existence Of n lake monoter is
no longer mvtn.

Jimmy's Last Ride.

James Brapt, us he is better known,
English jimmy was a Montana
stage driver. Many years ago he took
the reins the route between Butte
and Deer Lodge and served the public
faithfully. Jimmy's horses loved his
atlectionate pat anu stroke about as
much rs they did their oats. He rare
ly used the whip, carrying it, indeed,
for the purpose of playing tunes with
the lash i'll the sharp mountain air
On the morning of the 9th inst. Jim
my's four horses jolted out of Butte
with coach-load of men, women, and
children. A passenger sat with him
on the box. The stage swept along the
road at good rate, and soon the first
relay, Girard's was reached. There the
horses were changed. Jimmy re-
marked that the new horses were not
his Old friends, but strangers to him.
He directed the stableman to arrange
the horses carefully, rs the team was
evidently spirited. When all was
ready mischievous boy called out
Now you go, JIMMY at the same
time slapping one of the leaders with
his hand. The leader reared and shot
headlong away. The four horses
sprung Immediately into dead run
Jimmy threw his every muscle into
the lines. He called out, STEADY,
down therew for the benefit of the
passengers, grtted his teeth, and bent
to his task. The horses dashed on at
the top Of their speed. They were
crossing level plain and making dead
for n narrow gully. down which the
road ran before it crossed an insecure,
unwalled, bridge Jimmy fixed his
eye on farmhouse in the distance
and on his route. He knew that if he
could reign his horses through several
piles of soft grass-shocks near the
house he could save the passengers.
He told the men to be ready to jump
as they ran through the grass. Take
the babies" said he, and rs the coach
swerved under his powerful arm and
ran in among the shocks the passengers
leaped or jumped out, some bruised,
but none badly hurt. A few minutes
later Jimmy's body was picked up I'M
der the bridge from which the coach
had been thrown to the rocks below.
The poor fellows legs and arms were
broken. The Montana Miner says that
he uttered one sentence: "Girard, this
is Jimmy's last ride, but he did his
duty" He died in an hour

One More Opportunity.

We often come across people who
have been unfortunate for life. They
have lost property. They have lost
standing in community. They have
los their earthly loves. Some of them
have lest even faith and hope. Many
of them have lost what would have
made them happy, by their own fool
ishness. Their troubles all run back
TO wrong decision-to one fatal hour
In that hour they did what they should
not have done; and all their troubles
are traceable to that one event. These
people write to US for advice, for sym
pathy-some from feeling that they
must tell somebody. What shall we
say to them?
The past plumbers will not kill. Past
follies do not forfeit future opportuni-
ties. God is always ready TO give one
another chance. Heaven is never
hopeless. II never despairs as to those
who are cast down. God seems to feel
sure that every prodigal will one day or
another come back, and is more anx-
ious to get the best robe on his back
than 10 give him lecture. God never
scolds. He forgiyes. and that ii the end
Of it.
If you have failed, then. in any re-
spect, no matter from what cause, no
matter whether by little or much, do
not cloud the sky Of your future by
gloomy thoughts about it. BE hopeful,
happy, courageous. Old errors, like
dead bodies, should be buried. Bury
them quickly, and plant some flower.

Exercise.

A gread deal depends upon the time
chosen for needful exercise. When it
is properly conducted, the effect on the
digestive system is very marked The
appetite is increased, and more food is
taken III order TO supply force neces-
sary for the maintenance Of mechan-
ical force. This increase of appetite is
especially noted when the exercise is
taken in the open air. When exercise
is undertaken however, without due
preparation, or the bodily powers are
exhausted by fatigue, the power of
being able to take food is diminished.
This condition, if the exercise is con-
tinued, and the power Of taking food il
impaired, is one Of considerable dan
ger, and the health is often greatly af-
fected, the force Of the heat being
much reduced 1t is Of great impor-
lance, moreover, when great fatigue
has been undergone, to rec that the
bodily powers are thoroughly recruited
by rest before an attempt is made TO
take food, otherwise there will be no
inclination to take il, and il forced
down it will not digest. An hours rest,
with cup of warm tea will do much
toward restoring appetite in these cases.
Indeed. ii should be a rule in all cases,
that period Of rest should intervene
between work and food.
