Very Ancient English.

Ethnologists say that the people
whose earliest traces are found in En-
gland were like the modern Australi
ans. They were black men with low
brows, and were very inferior speci-
mems of humanity. These were all
destroyed during the glacial period,
when Great Britain was covered with
icebergs. After the ice age, and
when Britain became hebitable again,
new race made its appearance, some
of the descendants of which are
part of the English nation. What
they were originally we only know
from tombs or barrows, in which are
found their skeletons, weapons, do
mestic utensils and ornaments. They
were dark, short and thick-set race.
There skulls were very long and mar
row. They were unacquainted with
metals, and used stone implements in
war and agriculture. They seemed
to live in little communities after
socialistic fashion, and it is certain
that they had some domestic animals,
among others pigs. These stone-age
men, as they were called, would cut a
sorry figure beside the Englishman
Of to-day, for the latter is the product
of mixed and very much superior
races.-From Demorest's Monthly for
Nav.
