ANTIQUITY OF MAN.

Professor Nudge has presented some
interesting evidence relating to the anti
guilty of man in The Kansas City Re-
vieao Of Science. He starts by assum-
ing the correctness of the generally-ac-
cepted opinion among geologists that
man was on earth at the close of the
Glacial epoch, and offers evidence to
prove that the antiquity of the race can
not be taken at less than 100000 years.
After the Glacial epoch, geologists have
recognized, by their efforts, 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, and interspaces of sand.
Ten distinct forest growths of this ma
ture have been observed, which must
have succeeded one another. ''These
trees are the bald cypress of the South
ern States. Some have been observed
to be over % feet in diameter, and one
contained $500 rings. In some in
stances these huge trees, it is estimated,
have grown over the stumps of others
equally as large, and such instances oc-
cur in all, or nearly all, the ten forests
BEDS From these facts it is not as
suming too much to estimate the antiqu-
ity of these forests growths at 10000
years, or 100000 years for the ten
forests. This estimate would not take
into account the interval of time-which
doubtless was considerable that elapsed
between the ending of one forest and
the beginning of another. "Such evi-
dence," concludes Professor 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 applied to the antiquity Of our
race.-There is satisfactory evidence
that man lived in the Champlain epoch.
But the Torrance epoch, or the greater
part of it, intervenes between the Cham
plain and Delta epochs, thus adding to
my 100000 years. If only as much
time is given to both these epochs as to
the Delta epoch, 100000 years is the
total result"

it be little, you are yet constantly accum-

Be content; so far as concerns money,

laughter made him start and turn round.

These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty-they died for US. They are
at rest. They sleep in the land they
made free, under the solemn pines and
hemlocks, the fearful willows, and the
embracing vines. They sleep beneath
the shadows of the clouds, careless alike
Of the sunshine or the storm, each in the
windowless places of rest. Earth may
run red with other wars-they are at
peace. In the midst of battle, in the
roar of conflict, they found the serenity
of death. | have one sentiment for the
soldiers living and dead-cheers for the
living and tears for the dead.

G1eeLERs IN CHURcH.-Giggling IS
described in the dictionary as the act OF
"Laughing with short catchesof breath.
as ..laughing idly. tittering, grinning. "
1t is silly and childish enough anywhere,
but in chnrch it is abominable, and yet
there is no place where giggling is more
common 1t is natural in school girls,
but when met with young women of nine
teen and twenty it is objectionable. 1t
is frequently Characteristic of young men
with incipient moustaches, who think
they qualify themselves for manhood by
affecting contempt for what their elders
revere. They giggle at anything. If
they catch the eye of an acquaintance
they giggle; if an old woman rises too
soon for a hymn they giggle; if a baby
cries they giggle; if some one drops a
book they giggle; if the clergyman
coughs they giggle if the plate is hand
ed to some one who puts nothing in 1t
they giggle; if some one near them
sings out or repeats the responses loudly
they giggle; if the choir makes a mis-
take the giggle. In fact, nothing is too
small or insignificant to arrest their no.
tice and produce giggle.
