thought at first the fellows around the
store had played them trick by taking
is away but by-and-by the Red-Sky-of-
the Morning set up shrek.
"She had found the board not far off
but no pappoose strapped to it, only
something that told the story of what
had happened.
"There were bear tracks around the
spot. One of the prints showed only two
claws.
1.-THE Red-Sky-of-the- Morning went
back to the camp with the news; the
other squaw followed with the lug.
When the Water-Snake-with-t
Long-Tail heard that his pappoose had
been eaten by bear, he felt, suppose,
very much as any white father would
have felt under the circumstances. He
vowed vengeance against Old Two Claws,
but consoled himself with drink of the
fire water before starting On the hunt.
1.-The braves with him followed his
example. 1t wasn't in Indian nature to
start until they had emptied the Jug, so
it happened that Old Two Claws got off
again. Tipsy braves can't fellow trail
worth a cent. 80
"Not very long after that woman in
neighboring settlement heard her
children scream one day in the woods
near the house, She rushed out, and
saw bear actually Juggling off her
youngest.
She was a sickly, feeble sort of
woman, but such a sight was enough to
give her the strength and courage of a
man. She ran and caught up an ak.
Luckily she had big dog. They two
went at the bear.
The old fellow had no notion of los
ing his dinner just for a woman and a
mongrel cur. But she struck him a
Tremendous blow on the back; at the
same time the pup got him by the leg.

The Size of the world.

Father Adam would be more aston
ished than when he first found himself
outside the gates of the Garden of Para
disc with the taste of bitter apple in
his mouth, could he glance over the
world to-day and estimate the number
of his progeny. What, are all these
minel he would exclaim, as he gazed
in establishment at the 199, 600, 900
blacks of Africa. Then he would be-
come bewildered as he discovered that
he has S24, 900, 600 children in Asis,
500, 600, 000 in Europe, 1000, 900 in
Ocesnics, and IS, 900, 600 in Amcrics.
he would doubtless weep upon learn
ing that some 1,421, 000, 600 people are
veanng out their lives in work because
be took the apple from the hand of
Eve But when told that some 90, 100
persons die every day, he would console
himself with the thoaght that the end OF
human suffering cannot be far distant.
That consolation would be swept away,
however, by the discovery that 104, 500
children are born each day, and he
would turn away from the earth fear
ing thst the very ground itself might
change into mass Of struggling hu-
manity. Doubtless the greatest Of all
Rrandfathers would suspect that all the
daughters of Eve must have brought
forth twins at each birth since the time
OF his death. Indeed, the world is
vast, when measured By careful estl-
mates Of the number Of its Inhabitants.

Antiquity of Man.

Prof. Nudge has presented some in
teresting evidence relating to the antiq
uity of man, in the Kansas City Re0ieao
Of Science. He starts by assuming the
correctness of the generally accepted
opinion among biologists that man was
on the earth at the close of the glacial
epoch, and offers evidence to prove that
the antiquity of the race cannot be taken
at less than 1000 years. After the
glacial epoch, biologists have recog-
nized, by their effects, three Others,
namely, the Champlain, the Terrace
and the Delta, all supposed to be of
nearly equal length. His argument for
estimating the duration of these epochs
is as follows: He takes the case of the
Delta of the Mississippi, and notes the
fact that, for distance of about 200
miles of this deposit, there are to be OBJ
served buried forests of large trees one
over the other, with interspaces of
sand. Ten distinct forest growths of
this nature have been observed, which
must have succeeded one another.
"These trees are the bald cypress of
the Southern States. Some have been
observed over twenty feet in diameter,
and one contained 500 annual rings.
IN some instances these huge trees have
grown over the stumps of Others equally
as large, and such instances occur in
all, or nearly all, the ten forest beds"
From these facts it is not assuming too
much to estimate the antiquity of each
of these forest growths at 10, 900 years,
or 100, 600 years for the ten forests.
This estimate would not take into &C.
count the interval of time = which
doubtless was considerable that elaps-
ed between the ending of one forest and
the beginning OF another. "Such evil
dence," concludes Prof. Nudge, "would
be received in any court of law as sound
and satisfactory, We do not see how
such proof is to be discarded when sp-
piled to the antiquity of our race.
There ia satisfactory evidence that man
lived in the Champlain epoch. But the
Terrace epoch, or the greater part of it,
intervenes between the Chsmplaln and
Delta epochs, thus adding to my 100,-
600 years. II only as much time is
given to both these epochs as to the
Delta epoch, 200, 600 years is the total
result"
