The Human Skull.

"Is the human skull growing thin.
ner ?" is a question raised by Mr.. w.
B. Cooper, who endeavors to prove by
generally accepted laws of evolution
that such must be the case. These
laws teach that the stronger organisms
must survive the weak in the struggle
for life, and that all living creatures
possess the natural tendency of becom-
ing accommodated to altered circum-
stances within certain limits. Mr..
Cooper argues that when barbaric war
fare and the dangers of the chase were
common occurrences the law of natural
select m must have operated to elimi.
nate individuals with skulls too weak
to withstand the severe shocks to
which they were exposed. Adaptation
also must Lave exerted an influence
in causing the bony armor of the brain
to become thickened to serve as a pro-
lection for that delicate organ. With
civilized man a change is found.
Natural selection no longer has special
occasion to remove persons of weak
crania, as the skull is seldom exposed
to violence. For the same eraser the
law of adaptation, which like all eve
lutionary laws may be either progress
sive or retrogressive, tends rather to
decrease the skulls thickness than TO
increase 1.-THE brain no longer hay-
ing need of a strong protective cover
ing. Mans skulls are now less ex-
posed to violence than at any former
period in the worlds history, but in
view of the fact that the most advanced
races of to-day were barbarians a few
centuries ago, it is obviously too early
to look for any great change. He
maintains, however, that in accord
ance with theory the brain must be
fast losing its shield, and poiAts out
that 1t Is no unusual event nowadays
to hear of fractures ascribed to unusual
thinness of the skull.

Trailing.

One of the most remarkable features
of uncivilszed life is the power savages
show of tracking men and beasts over
immense distances. Many travellers
have spoken of this rs something al
most miraculous, yet it is only the
result of careful observation of certain
well known signs and we have here
before us a collection Of very common
sense hints on the subject. In coun-
tries like ours every trace OF foot print
or wheel track on roads or paths is
soon oblitersted or hopelessly confused;
but 1t is otherwise in the wilderness,
where neither man nor beast can con-
ceal his track. In Caffreland, when
cattle are stolen, if their footprints are
traced to n village, the head man is
responsible for them, unless he can
show the same track going out. A
wagon track in a new country is prac-
ticslly indelible. more especially"

ents of Camp Life" sis this the case If

The consumption of oatmeal in this
country, says the american Grocer, has
reached large dimensions. Not many
years ago it was only used as an article
of luxury, but now thousands of
American families have oatmeal on
their breakfast tables, with as much
regularity as they do potatoes. That
it is a desirable aud healthful food no
one can doubt, and large as is the
amount consumed it is destined to
become still nor popular.
The oatmeal of Scotland has always
er ioyed the reputation of being the
best in the world, owing to the
qualities of the oats produced than to
the skill in manufacturing. The
Scotch oet is pre- eminent for plump
ness of form, thinness of skin, and abb
sence of moisture an | discoloration.
Where the soil is too rich the growth
of oats runs largely to straw, and the
kernal is thin and covered with thick
husks. On moderate soil oats give a
DCtiCI ICtpIh, lliCJC bCIhk lSES bAlaW
and more fully developed kernels. In
many parts of our country the condi-
ton of the soil is becoming more fitted
for the production of superior oats, and
many of our local factories are manu-
featuring excellent qualities of Dat
meal.
The first operation in the manufac
ture of the meal is the removing from
the oats all cookie, small oats and for
eign seeds of whatever kind, for j fanny
of these remain the quality of the meal
is much injured. Black oats, if even
of good quality, give a bad appearance
to the manufactured meal, as it reap
peares in the form of black particles,
which to the tidy housewife appears to
After the oats have been properly
cleaned by sitting, the are next sub
jected to the operation of drying. This
Is accomplished in dry kilus, with
special apparatus constructed for the
purpose. This operation requires some
care to prevent the oats from burning.
AS OOH as sufficiently dry, they are
removed from the kiln while still very
hot, and stored in such a way as to
have them retain their heat: after
thus remaining three or four days, and
hardening they are ready for the she'll
ing operation. This Smelling is accom-
plished by passing the oats through
millstones of a special pattern. The
product that from the stones is
greats, or the whole kernels, dust,
seed, ETC., and these must be separat d f;
by means of a combination of sleeves
and fans; the greats are separated from
the other material, and are then ready
for grinding. For extra quality meal,
the greats may again be shelled and
also passed through a brushing ma.
chine. The grinding of them must not
be long delayed, rs a few weeks expos
ure renders them un1t for milling. In
grinding the groat, the great aim is to
avoid pulverization, and to have the
granulets cut square and of uniform
size. Oatmeal is generally denomi-
Iated by the cut, as pin head cut,
rough cut, medium and bne cut,
though these terms have different
meanings in different districts. After
the grindingthe meal is passed through
sleeves, and the siftings graded accord

THE origin of the officers of the
English Court known as Gold and
Silver Stick, was the Rye House Plot
for the destruction of Charles III. and
his brother James, then Duke of York,
on their return from Newmarket.
After that event one of the captains of
the Life Guards, carrying an ebony
staff with a COLO head. a junior officer
with a s~ilver-headed staff, and two
brigadiers with ivory-headed trun-
cheoDs, remained in immediate at
tendance on the sovereign from
morning till night. The brigadiers
with thei sory-headed truncheons were
dispensed with in the early part of
George ILLS, but on all state occasions
Gold Stick and Silver Stick-that is a
colonel and lieutenant-coloael of the
Household Brigade-are in attendance
on the Queen.

What Might Not a Beetle See :

Haveyou ever paused for a moment
to consider how much man loses for
want ofthat microscopic eye, upon the
absence of which Pope was apparently
inclined rather to congratulate his
fellow beings than otherwise? What a
wonderful world we should live in II
only we could see it as this little beetle
here sees it, half buried, as he is in a
mighty forest of luxuriant, tall green
moss. Just fancy how grand and
! straight and majestic those slender
sprays must look to him, with their
waving, feathery branches spreading
on every side, a thousand times more
gracefully than the long boughs of the
lovliest tropical palm-trees on some
wild jamaican hillside. How quaint
the tall capsuls must appear to his
eyes-great yellow seed vessels nearly
as big as himself, with a comical pink
edged hood, which pops up suddenly
with a bang,and showers down mon
strous nuts upon his head when he
passes beneath. Gaze closely into the
moss forest as it grows here beside this
smooth, round stone where we are
sitting, and imagine you can view it
as the beetle views it. Put yourself in
his place, and look up at it towering
three hundred feet above your head,
while you vainly strive to find your
way among its matted underbrush and
dense labyrinths of close grown trunks.
Then just look at the mighty monsters
that people it. That little red spider,
magnified to the size of a sheep, must
be a gorgeous and strengthening
creature indeed, with his vivid Grim
son body and his mailed and iointed
legs. Yonder neighbor beetle, re-
garded as an elephant, would seem a
terrible wild beast in all seriousness,
with his solid coat of bronze FURNISHED
armor, his huge hook.ringed a%ntenne,
and his fearful branched horn, ten
times more terrible than that of a
furious rhinoceros charging madly
through the African jungles. Why,
if you will only throw yourself hon
estly into the situation, and realize
that awful life and death struggle go
ing on between an ant and M ty-iy,
before Dur very eyes, you will see that
Livingston, Serpa Pinto and Gordon
Cumming are simply nowhere beside
you that even Jules Verne's wild, ST
story is comparatively tame and COM
monplace in the light of that marvel
GUS miniature forest. Such a tumble
of puzzle monkeys and bamboos, and
palms, and banyan trees and crags,
and roots, and rivers, and precipices
was eve seen inhabited by such a
terrible and beautiful phantasmago:ia
of dragons. ~hippogriffs, uniforms, Ioes,
chimeras, serpents and wyverns as no
medieval fancy yer invented, no
Greek m~ythologist eve dreamed of,
and no Arabian story-teller yer tabled.
And yet after all, to our clumsy big
eyes, ii is but a little patch of familiar
English grass and moses, crawled
owe by half a dozen sleepy slugs and
long legged spiders, and Shiny earth
worms.

A Good Adviser.

Those men who understand the
value of a woman's advice have learn.
ed a valuable lesson. 1t is a wondrous
advantage to man, ia every pursuit or
vocation, to secure an adviser in a sen.
sible woman. In woman there is at
once a subtitle d~elieacy of tact and a
plain soundness of judgment which
are not combined to an equal degree
in man. A woman, II she really be
your friend, will have asensible regard
for your character, honor, and repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a
shabby thing, for a woman friend al
ways desires to be proud of you. At
the same time, her constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious
than yolr male friend. She, therefore.
seldom counsels you to do an impru.
dent thing. A mans best female friend
Is a wife of good sense and heart.

AT Highgate, during an experience OF
forty years, no nurse or servant, hav-
ing been revaccinatcd, has ever con

same character I can myself bring
forward, for during the whole time
that | have had charge of the fever
hospital, more than a thousand cases
of smallpox have passed und, my
care, pet no servant, nurse, porter, or
other person engaged there has, AFTER
revaccinaii0n. ever taken it, though
exposed daily to infection in its most
concentrated form. One 3

who some years beior had 5 ffered

cred protected, had "A very mild attack,
and this summera workman, who did
not live on the premises, but came TO
work as a painter, was not vaccin s.ed,
and had rather a severe attack and
still more recently a servant, who by
an oversight was all awed to go about
her work three days before being vac
einated, had, before the latt II had Tub
its course, a slight abortiye at ack.
Again, among all the students whp,
during the past two years, have ut
tended the hospital for clinical in
struction, not one has suffered, all
having been re-vaccinated before be-
ing permitted to enter the smallpox

others in attendance on the sick, viz

a fire sweeps over the plain immedi-

or after a prairie a fire. We have
known a fellow traveller recognize ia
this the tracks his wagon had
made seven years before, the lines OF
charrsd stumps crushed short down
remaining to indicate the passage OF
the wheels, though all other impress
sions had been obliterated by the rank

has long laid next to the ground being
turned up. If it is still damp, the
man or beast that turned il has passed
very recently. If a shower of rain had
fallen, the track will tell whether it
was made before, during or after the
shower; similar indications can be
obtained from the dew and another
indication of the time that has elapsed
since a man passed by is furnished by
the state of the crushed grass, which
will be more or less withered as the
time is longer or shorter. Other indi-
cations are drawn from the direction
in which the grass lies this tells how
the wind was blowing at the time the
grass wa crushed and by noting pre-
vious to the wind, one learns the
time at which each part of the track

The FIRST Balloon.

In June, 1888, Stephen and Joseph
Montgolfier sent up the first balloon.
To commemorate the centenary of the
event, it is proposed that an interns-
tional exhibition of ''aerial arts" b.
held at Paris next year. The "aerial
arts are to include every industry,
science or art, relating to gas or the
atmosphere, which is supposed to
have any connection directly or in
directly with aerostatic experiments.
