Ancient Quartz workers.

The Minneapolis (Minn.) Tribune of Feb.
I'd, in giving the proceedings of the Historical
Society here, says a paper was presented by
Miss Frances E. Babbitt considering the sub
ject of ancient quartz workers, being the
conclusion upon the discoveries of Professor
Winchell at Little Falls and surrounding
points. At that place The Professor discovered
in 1876 a number Of quartz chips which bore
evidence of having been cut from the parent
rock by the hand of man. BE further con-
cluded that the quartz workers inhabited this
country before the mound builders race he
found these chips in strata underlying the
mound building period He therefore fixes
the era of the quartz workers as that ending
with the last glacial period. 1t Is often dis
puted, however, whether these quartz remains
belong to a past glacial folk, or to a co-glacial,
lnter-2lacial or pre-glacial people. the question
being difficult to decide because the remains
found and noted by Prof. Winchell, which
are surface deposits, are so scattered and
irregular. At Little Falls, however, there
have been discovered quartz chips and imple-
ments occupying regular strata in the earth.
The remains consist of hammers, implements,
ETC., both finished and unfinished, together
with the chips struck off from the articles in
the process of manufacture. The material of
which they are composed is principally com-
pact, lustrous quartz, frequently mottled as if
selected with an eye to the artistic beauty.
The stratum is some few inches in thickness,
and lies in the soil a few feet below the sur
face. The appearances indicate that this was
once the site of a mandatory of such quartz
objects, and this idea is upheld by various
considerations, There are tools found such
as would be used in the manufacture of quartz
articles, and the whole stratum is mixed with
qnaIZ chips which in many cases appear stuck
III the dirt just as they fell from the hand of
the unknown. Unfinished implements are
also found in more or less advanced stages of
manufacture. 1t is not possible to fix the
precise point occupied by these remain in
the scale of the glacial epoch until the drift
features and surrounding formations Of the
locality shall be better understood than now.
Still, it is certain that the remains belong to a
paleolithic people-that is, a people living
before the end OF the last glacial period,
because they are deposited in a drift which is
known to be of glacial origin. The hard pan
upon which the quartz formation lies is prob
ably of the first glacial period, and the quartz
may belong to an i~nter-glacial epoch.

A Duplicate Existence.

There are some remarkable instances on
record where men, after sustaining some in
jury of the heart or brain, have been strange
ly affected In consequence. A famous ex-
ample occurred in the Franco-G German war.
A soldier wounded in the head recovered
with the odd sequel OF a double mental life ;
for several weeks he would live one life, then
pass into another, with nc recollection of the
former one, but with its own independent
series of acquisitions and impressions /: then he
would revert to his first life again without a
shadow of memory or his intermediate exist
ence, and SO alternately. This duplicate life
finds a faint parallel in dreams. 1t is ex-
plainable on the supposition that certain por-
tions OF the brain are active at one time, dor
mant at another; or that during one period
one half ofthe brain is at work while the 9TH
er half is not and when this condition is re-
versed, total forgetfulness of the intervening
period ensues. A case analogous to the one
just quoted was that Of a man of about fifty
years, with some money, well dressed, who,
with a travelling bag, found himself in small
city in Ohio, without any knowledge of who
himself was, whittier he was going. or whence
he was FROM. On other subjects he was per-
fectly sane, proving quick at figures and an
expert penman, of good education and polish
ed manners, altogether a competent man of
business, except This one extraordinary and
remarkable trick Of memory. What is I'M
usual and a little suspicious was the fact that
nowhere about him was any old letter, note
book, mark on his,linen or clothing anywhere,
which bore a name, initials, or monogram.
1t looked as if he had prepared himself to lose
himself. 1t were well, if this thing grows
common, for every prudent man to have a
card with him, or letters OF Identification, go
that he can inform himself who he is.

science and Prophecy and 1851.

1t is not a little remarkable thai many shin
ing lights Of the occult sciences should point
to 1881 as The time of ~startlin, events in the
economy Of nature, If not of the end, when
we are told that - the earth and all therein
shall burn up, and the atmosphere part

prophecy of old mother Shiptol, that the
world will come to an end IN 1881, may be
fruitful of direful holdings. Her revelations

We only notice in animals cries which
appear to us inarticulate we only hear the
constant repetition of the same sounds. Be-
sides, it is difficult for us to image to ourselves
any sustained conversation between beings
with a muzzle or a snOut Consequently it
is generally supposed that animals have no
language, properly so called that speech is
our peculiar faculty, and the exclusive ex-
preston Of human reason. We are too
superior to them to have any interest in
deluding ourselves and in shutting our eyes
to their advantages; and we ought not to
allow ourselves to be deceived by an apparent
uniformity of sound. When we hear a lam
guage spoken which we do not know, the
sounds appear to us very monotonous. Habit
alone teaches us to appreciate the differences,
and even habit is scarcely sufficient without
some knowledge of the language. These
differences are still more difficult to, judge of
in the language of animals, from the want of
similarity between their organs and ours,
which makes it wholly impossible for us to
recognize and distinguish their accent, en-
preston or infections. Do they speak, or
not? This question must be resolved by the
solution of two others: Have they the
necessary conditions of speech? Could they
without it, do what they do? The only re-
quirements of language are connected ideas
and the facility of articulation. We have
proved, ana that WITHOUT a SnaQOW OF DOUBT,
in the preceding letters, that animals feel,
compare, judge, reflect, conclude, etc.; they
have, then, in respect to connected ideas, all
that is required for speech. AS for the faculty
of articulation, most of them have nothing in
their organization which, so far as we can judge,
forbids it. Birds, in other ways so widely
differing from ourselves, succeed in forming
articulate sounds precisely the same as ours.
Animals have then, all the necessary condi-
lions of language. But if we closely investi-
gate their actions in detail, We perceive
further that we cannot for an instant deny
them the power Of communicating some at
least of their ideas to one another, and this
by the aid of words. We are positive that
they never fail to distinguish between the cry
of terror and that which expresses love.
Their different agitations have different into
nations which characterize them. If the
mother, alarmed for the safety of her family,
had but one cry to warn 1t of its varying dan
gers, the family would ALWAYS be sure to do
the same thing when she utters the cry.
But OH the contrary, their movements vary
according to circumstances. Sometimes a
hasty flight is the consequence of the cry Of
alarm at others, concealment; and at all
other time they advance to the combat.
Since the actions which follow the mothers
command are different, it is impossible to
conceive that her language is UNIFORM

WANTS..

We women want so many things;
And first we call for happiness
The careless boon the hour brings,
The smile, the song and the caress.
And when the fancy fades, we cry.
Nay, give us one on whom to spend
Our hearts desire! When Love goes by
With folded wings, we seek a friend.
And then our children come, to prove
Our hearts but slumbered. n q wax
And when they go, we're fain to love
Some other wOman's for their sake.
But when both Low and friendship fail,
We cry for duty, work to do;
Some end TO gain beyond the pale
Of self. some height to Journey to.
And then. before our task is done.
With sudden WEAKNESS oppressed.
We leave the shining goal urwon,
And only ask for rest.
