HUMAN AND ANIMAL bones.

It IS remarkable how frequently tho
bones Of horses COWS, dogs and sheep
are mistaken for those Of human beings
IL an antiquarian collection of relics
obtained from a neighboring Roman
castrum, 1 saw says Dr. Alfred Taylor
the tiDia of dog carefully labelled aud
religiously preserved as the bones of an
ancient Roman. The sane collection
contained fragments OF bones Of various
auimals-carniyorous and herbivorous-
all marked as human relics This COLES
ton belonged TO an antiquary who pre-
ferred adopting his own view OF the
nature Of the relics 70 taking the opinion
OF any one acquainted with anatomy.
Even well-informed men may be easily
mistaken on such subjects. Bslaoni,
tie celebrated traveller, brought from
Egypt with his sarcophagi a number OF
bones taken from the interior OF the
Pyramids which he pronounced to be
the bones OF King Cephrenea aud OF
some OF the sheperd kings, The late
Mr.. Gift, Of the Royal College Of Sur
geons by the request of friend went
down to examine them after they had
been submitted TO public exhibition, and
lie found that they were nothing more
than the bones Of oxen.
Tie Gaseous relics Of saints as they are
collected and preserved in glass and
crystal cases in Roman Catholic COM
tries, often present anomalies which
would surprise an anatomist- Super
numerary ribs and vertebra are not un-
common, and intermixed with them 1
have seen bones which certainly never
appertaine1 to human being.
These facts saw the importance Of en-
trusting the examination OF bones, in all
Judicial inquiries, - well-educated men.
The lamentable effect Of popular ignor-
ance were displayed in a case that oo-
cured at Damascus, in 1910, which, at
the time, excited great public notice
A Roman Catholic priest and boy sud-
denly disappeared in the early part Of
that year, and strong suspicion ARCS ,
that they had been murdered Certain
Jews were charged with having murdered
them. The sewer. in the quarter Of the
town in which they lived, was examined,
and some bones were found These
were pronounced by the persons who dis
covered them to be human bones, and
the discovery was considered sufficient to
confirm the suspicion of murder which
had arisen. Some persons who inspected
the bones pronounced that they must
have been lying in the sewer for grea.
length OF time, and that they were those
Of an animal A proposition was then
made that the bones should by packed

academy of Medicine for their decision.

LUCKY PLANTS.

In some parts Of the world, one kind
OF aster is in high repute as sort OF di-
vining rod. forked branch is cut off
with various superstitious ceremonies
and the two twigs are taken in the hands
and firmly held with the point in a
horizontal position. The holder walks
over the ground, aud, according to the
popular belief, when Immediately over a
spring, the point, in spite OF all efforts
to the contrary, will turn directly down
ward, thus indicating the presence of
water. In other regions the hazel is
used for this same purpose and IS sup
posed also to indicate, in mineral coun-
tries, the presence of veins OF silver or
gold Both hazel and aster are believed,
III some mountain districts of Germany
to be powerful in protecting men from
lightning, and sprigs of these plants are
often seen hung over a door to preserve
the house from thunderbolts. The
Iancients used the laurel for the sane
purpose and Augustus is said to have
put on a laural crown whenever a
thunderstorm came up. The lily, in
some Catholic countries, is considered a
lucky flower, it being the emblem of the
Virgin Mary, who cared for it and all
who loved it, while the marigold is also
lucky, for it Is likewise consecrated to
her. The bleeding heart sprang from a
drop of blood wrung from her by the
agony Of witnessing the death of her
son, and is therefore also considered a
very lucky flower. In England the
mistletoe has been reyerenced from the
days of the Druids, but is now con-
sidered as lucky for lovers, the kissing
ut Christmas times being done under its
branches when suspended in the hall.
Johns wort is luck if it be gathered be-
fore dawn on St. Johns Day; at any
other time it has no power to command
good fortune. The poppy and tuberose
are lucky for the living because they
are loved by the dead, but oddly enough
the immortelle is unlucky for the same
reason, the difference being caused by
some legend or superstition which has
been forgotten. There is French
superstition that the spirits Of the dead
revisit their graves and are pleased to
see them crowned with immortelles, and
these and the myrtle, which is lucky be-
cause sacred to love, are more frequently
seen on graves in France than any other
plants or flowers.

The more quietly and peacefully we all
get ON, the better-the better for our
selves-the better for our neighbors. In nine
cases out of ten the wisest policy is, if a
man cheat you quit dealing with him; if he
is abusive, quit his company; if he sland-
ers you, take care to live that nobody will
believe him.

relations between instinct and other vital
processes, contends that instinct cannot
be divided by very hard and fast line
from such vital proce ses as reflex action,
processes of repair after injuries, and the
process OF development of the individual
and that these latter were more readily
explained as activities especially instinct
i've than that instinct could be explained
by reflex action Or by lapsed intelligence.

An amusing episode, says the lewis World, occurred during the recent ma neuvres of the Austrian army. The chief of regiment garrisoned near Vienna wrote to gentleman he knew in Anger, Dr. gNenwirth, asking if he would kindly find him quarters in the town during the ma noeuvres, in which he had to take part. CT have only one stipulation to make, he wrote, s'don't lodge me in the house of a Jew" The following is the answer re- ,ceived by the doughty warrior: Honor ed Sir-The chance of your being quarter ed with Jews has already been removed by circumstances. There are only two Jewish families ill Anger. The Archduke Albrecht is lodging with one, the Archduke Wilhelm with the other The latter is the family of, yours sincerely, Dr. Neuwirth. "
 'sWhy do you look so nervous ?" was asked of a man. ''Debt," he replied with sigh. "Ah, well, I would not let my heart be troubled. After awhile, perhaps, you may have money enough to pay your debts" ssPve just paid lem, pardner, and that's what is bothering me If I only had my money back I'd be satisfied"

DULwER LYTTON's BRIDGE

 ssWhat beautiful bridge between old age and childhood is religion. How intuitivey the child be- gins with prayer and worship entering life, and how intuitivey, quitting life, the old man turns back to prayer and worship, putting himself again side by side with the infant," remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, in his "S trange Story"
 Yes, but between it's distant abutments the bridge of life ha s many high and awful arches, through which the wild waters dash and roar in wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone do not sus- tain these Natures solid rocks must lie unshaken beneath and human art and skill must rear and solid ify the structure overhead Gods will is best exem- piied in the laws he has made for the creatures whom he has placed under their control Neither the chids trustful '.Our Father, the old mans "Forget not in the midst of mine infrmities," will alter this by the weight of single grain.

Bodmer and Meta were never blessed with any children of their own, so Bodmer adopted Johanna Brntinger, cousin of his. Jo- hanna was bright, active child, and a great favorite of Bodmer's, but Meta spited her, and from the first treated her almost brutally. One morning Johanna Alas found dead in her bed. Meta Gotsched was accused of poisoning her, still it was never proved against her. Soon after this event Bodmer did, leaving his vast estate to h1s wife. Meta shortly after left Cots ched house for parts unknown, although some maintain that she still dwells in some obscure part of the old manor, as they are certain either she or her ghost has been seen about the premises. And there are those who think the house is haunted, ol that set of counterfeiters and gamblers occupy portion of it. There are all kinds of ru,.lors afoat as the proceedings at the old house have been of the most suspicious character.
