Cannihal ScOtchRen.

When Scotland had q climate very
much like that of Canada to-day, when
the Hebrides boosted great forests of
immense trees. and when, too, man
could have walked on dry land from
Edinburgh to Stockholm, the primitive
Scotch-folk were as peculiar i'll habit
and head.
The skulls of this period, which are
still occasionally dug up, all belong to
what is Enthusiastically called the
boat-headed type, and the good
people who owned them INDUCED in a
variety of savage practices, from having
a community of wives to eating their
own children.
Prof. Owen says: "The lowest skull
in the Caithness series of an ancient
stone period resembles that of West
Indian negro" He also found child
Jaw (which had been broken, for its
dental press was not gnawed 10y beasts,
and concluded the race TO be cannibal. ="
Little wonder after this that one sci
entifc observer asserts the antique
Scotch skull is far more animal like
than those of any European race either
known in history or hitherto discovered
III prehistoric tombs OF the iron, bronze
or latter stone pe-;ods.
There is something almost humorous
in the contrast thus presented between
modern Scotland-demure and devoted
and the old, old Scotland where a kind
of unutterable savage WAS III the habit
Of rampaging about, combining whole
sale Mormonsm with the aeleetable
habit of feasting on cold baby.
Prof. Huxley goes so far as to linz
these primitive ancestors of Sir Walter
Scott and the Marquis of Lorne with the
Australian Maories, but they were so in
ferior to the latter that they had no
sense of ornament, not single frag-
ment of bead br bracelet belonging to
these dim ages having ever been found
in all Scotland through.
Almost depressing is this idea of a
people who belonged to so debased and
low a type Of humanity. One comfort
lies in the fact that they lived very
long time ago, when Glasgow was the
site of a sea, and what is now the bed of
the German ocean did not contain water
enough to have filled teacup. -Bo,o

Vulgar Errors About Feminine Beauty

"a vulgar prejudice" says Rambler,
in the Partisan, " considers feminine
perfection to consist of the smallness OF
certain parts of the body. Nothing
could be more absurd. The beauty of a
woman consists in the harmony of all
parts of her body, and i'll the perfect
equilibrium of their proportions. Her
hands and feet must harmonic regularly
and mechanically with her arms and
legs. A big woman must have big hands
and big feet. The beauty of each mem
Der lies not in its dimensions, but in its
special form. A young and pretty woman
ought at all times to take care of her feet
even more scrupulously then her hands.
The once celebrated Guilia Baricci used
TO say: 1T is more shameful and more
disgraceful for pretty woman to have q
corn or a bunion on her foot than to de-
ceive her dearest friend without cause.
A women boot or shoe ought to be soft,
yielding, and easy. 1t ought to fit the
foot like glove. Awoman who desires
to be well shod must, in the first place,
have well-made foot and in the second
place she must not listen to the ridicu-
lous observations of her boot maker.
Ladies boot-makers are nearly all prot
foundry ignorant. They are without
ideas, without taste, and generally I'M
lettered. They rarely raise to the level
of their trade, and they deform and in
iure the feet of their most charming GUS
toners. The only material admissible
!. for walking boots and shoes is kid. Full.
dress shoes may be of satin or taffety, OF
the same color as the dress. Velvet,
cloth, prunella and other stuff shoes
make the feet appear broader and lar
ger than they really are, and must there
fore be carefully avoided-no woman
having right to diminish the charms
which nature has given her. High
heeled slippers can not be made toe
coquettish or too elegant all kinds Of
stuff, embroidery, and lace may be worn
little large, SO as to permit the wearel
to amuse herself by slipping them Oh
and off, and Juggling with them"

Trophies Of the Sea.

The Coast Wrecking Company has in
its Office In this city a curious collection
of relies from old wrecks and other odd
bits taken from the sea. The collection
embraces quaint pieces of furniture, ex-
plosive shells and shells of the ocean,
shreds of ladies' dresses, rude weapons
of savage races, huge star fish, and
many curious things the use and purpose
of which are still unknown. The csllec-
ton contains the broken bell brought up
from the ill-fated steamer Atlantic of the
White Star Line, which was wrecked on
Golden Rule Rock, OH the Nova Scotia
coast on April l, 1873, with loss of 557
out of 1907 souls on board. There is
also a rusty, hiltless sword, dug out of
the sand eight years ago, near the hulk
of the British bark Thistle, which was
lost on Squan Beach, N. j., in 1911.
There are also several bottles of sweet
oil, holding a pint and half each, with
the original oorks intact, and the oil as
clear as crystal, taken In November,
1877, from the wreck of the British bask
Robert, which went down in 1914 with a
cargo of lead and oil and five of her crew,
off the place where Atlantic City now
stands. There is a South Sea Island
canteen, ingeniously constructed of CO.
coaput shells, which was fished up from
wreck in seventy feet of water on the
coast of Maine; also mussel shell firmly
irnbedded four inches in depth in well
which was found 14O feet above the sea
level on the Jersey coast also pelican's
skull and bill, measuring two feet from
back to tip (making an excellent though
wide dipper), which was found near the
wreck of the bark Robert Fletcher, on
the south beach of Long Island, and
which is said to have been used to bail
out the boat by the crew when endeavor-
ing to escape. The jaws of shark
killed on the South Carolina coast, which
have been preserved, can easily be passed
over the shoulders and down the body
of full-grown man. One of the most
curious relics is lamp chimney taken
from the remains of the ironclad Merri-
mac. Oysters three inches long were
found attached to the glass, and four
large oysters which had grown about the
brass base of the chimney from an irreg-
ular square. The hits of several swords
and some old firearms are also encrusted
with oyster shells.-NeW York Sun.

Take some cold roast mutton, cut it In
as large slices as possible then take
some bread crumbs, sweet herbs, salt,

THE best way to make beef tea for
childr is as follows Soup meat with
out bone, from the shin or the neck. Cut
the meat into dice with very sharp
knife TO every pound of meat use one
pint of cold water. Cut up the meat on
a dish, not on board, as the latter alb
serbs the juices wastefuDy. Have the
proper measure of water beside you, in
proper soup basin or bowl, and as you
cut up the meat sprinkle it moderately
with salt and throw it into the cold
water. There let it remain for two hours;
then put all into saucepan and set 1t
on the fire. Watch carefully the rising,
and skim and secure this, it is the very
essence of the beef, being thrown out.
Put it in clean bowl, and let the beef
go on boiling for ten minutes, no longer,
then pour it through sieve to the first
skimmings. Stir it before using. In
older children than infants you can fla
vor with onions and few cloves. So
completely does this way of making beef
tea extract the geo lness, that dog
would not eat the meat that is left.
A WRITER in the Scientific american
says: "We clean our premises of rats
10y making whitewash yellow with cop
peras, and covering the stones and raft
ers in the cellar with it. In every crevice
In which a rat may go, we put the crys-
tails of the copperas and scatter III the
corners of the floor. The result was q
perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since
that time not football of either rats or
mice has been around the house. Every
spring coat of the yellow wash is given
the cellar as purifier, as a rat exter-
minator, and no typhoid, dysentery, or
fever attacks the family. Many persons
deliberately attract all the rats in the
neighborhood by leaving fruits and veg.
etables uncovered in the cellar. andsome,
times even the soap is left open for their
regalement. Cover up everything in
the cellar aud pantry, and you will soon
starve them out. These precautions,
joined to the service of good cat, will
prove as good a rat exterminatOr as the
chemist can provide. We never allow
rats TO be poisoned in our dwelling; they
are so apt to be between the walls and
produce much annoyance"
