That the love of the beautiful is in
herent to savages is proved by their de-
light in pretty things. The more man
studies savage art, the more is he struck
by the almost universal good taste
which it displays. Every chair, stool
or bench is prettily shaped and neatly
carved. Every club, paddle or staff is
covered with intricate tracery which
puts TO shame our handicraft. Every
calabash or gourd is richly wrought
with geometrical patterns or conven-
tionalized floral and animal designs.
The most primitive pottery is graceful
in form ana irreproachable in its simple
ornament of string. courses or beadwork.
Central African bowls and drinking
cups almost rival Etruscsn or Hellenic
shapes. Prehistoric vases from the
barrows or lake dwellings are not less
lovely than the Trojan OF Mycen9an
models which are now teaching our
modern potters a long forgotten secret
of taste. Even the stone hatchets and
arrowheads Of the very earliest age show
n decided striving after aesthetic effect.
And when we remember that these ex-
auisite carvings and these polished jade
implements are produced with misorably
inefficient tools and appliances-when
we recollect the instances quoted by Sir
John Lubbock. where whole years are
spent in the perfecting Of single art
product, in grinding smooth jasper
hatchet or polishing n crystal eardrop-
we cannot fail to wonder at the aesthetic
feryor of these unsophisticated artists.
On the contrary, look into many houses
all over the civilized world and you will
hnd the appointments painfully meager
and destitute of beauty.

Changes In Central Asia.

Physical changes on q great scale
have been at work in Central Asia.
An old legend in the Bramanical books
tells that the parents of the Hindoos
were forced TO migrate from upper Asia
by a fiery serpent and snow (of which
some writers may find twin allegory
in the flaming sword of the archangel
that drove our first parents out of par
se)-indicating that there was vol
canic outburst and diminished temper
nture, consequent upon uPheaval; that
the now empty craters of the region
then burst into action-either for the
first time, or, like Vesuvius in I'D. l79,
after an immemorial slumber-with the
natural effect of an upheaval of the re-
gion. Geology, too, shows that in
ancient times the North Sea projected
southwark into the very heart OF the
old world, extending along the flanks
of the Ural chain to the Caucasus and
the Persian mountain range. The sub
sequent receding of its waters could
only have been owing TO rising, slow
or sudden, of the land, such as would
be produced by the agencies men TONED
in the old legends. The Northern ocean
has ebbed back some 1000 miles, leav.
ing only its deepest pools In the aspiar
and Ural lake.

Autumn Tokens.

BY the golden drtamiul weather
BY the birds that fly together,
Dark against the radiant sky,
BY the silence growing deeper,
BY the resting OF the reaper,
Pleasant days are drawing nisi,.
By the vagrant wayside briei
Flinging far its tangled fire,
By the forests motley line,
Royal oak and maple splendid,
Holding stately court, attenasd
As for pageant rich and fine,
BY the asters, incense bringing,
By the morning glories' swinging.
And the spicy fragrance shed
From the grape, whose purple clustc
Captive holds the vivid luster
Cf the summer scarcely fed.
Pleasant days are coming nearer,
Days when home will seem the dearr
That its circle, smaller grown,
IN its happy talk and laughter,
Or its signs, low stealing aitor,
Narrows TO iniold its own.
Blithe, for music, work and study
Then will glow the hearth-finpt rrddy,
What though wild the win5s may blow
Always there is golden weather
Where true hearts are met together,
Though without be storm and snow.
All the artumn's wondrous shading,
Ilipened hues, and gentle fading,
All the birds that southwark fly,
Dpeak to us with sign and token,
Say, in words we hear, unspoken,
Pleasant days are drawing nigh.

EXHAUSTION FROM BRAIN WORK.
Few of our business or professional
men reach the age OF forty-fvc without
brain and nervous exhaustion -often 10
an extent that forces them-to relax ef-
fort, or abandon woik tor q time, if not
altogether. An occasional use of that vi.
talizing agent, now so widely known as
compound Oxygen" would give ma
ture fbe power to restore these wasted
forces in a large number of cases. Rev.
ID. ID. Reed, of South AmOoy, who was
greatly run down by over-work, and
consequent waste ofnervous energy, at-
ter being restored to health through the
use of this agent gives it this voluntary
and strong endorsement: "After most
thorough aud continued trial of its
worth as a remedial and restorative
agent, pronounce itslvalu eto be above
that of gold and silver, l freely and
voluntarily commend it to all brain
workers as the best thing they can use
TO secure restoration ofexhausted en-
ergies." Drs. .,Starkey & Palen, ll09

Oxygen" free to all who write tor it.

4 Young Lady's Heart Misplaced.

A curious case of malposition of the heart
was recently discovered by physician of this
city in patient who was consulting him for
some spinal trouble. The young woman is
about twenty years old of good form, hand.
some face and pleasing disposition. careful
study Of the precise locality aud form of the
side of the chest, and, instead of the apex rest,
ing just below the breast, it strikes upward
against tho right colar.bone, near its outer
third. In this case there must DO n double
curve to the large vessels Of the heart, and the
base OF tho heart is downward. In other
words, this heart is on the wrong side of the
body, aud is upside down. This unnatural
eondition.of things does not give rise to any
serious Inconvenience, except when moving
too quickly or going up stairs the organ beats
with painful violence against the collar-bune,
where its motion is plainly visblc.-Hrdian-

"Well it wouldn't be very great loss" was
the smiling response.

"Iknow him not" said the aged man,
And as 1 remarked before,

Said the farmer; SAY no more;
"IIe fell IN batte-I see alasl

Nay, speak tho truth. whatever II be,
Though II rcnd my bosom's core.

And should have remarked before,

Then tho farmer spake him never a word,
But beat him with his fist full sore,
