In the anthropolOgical section of the
American Convention for the advance
ment of science, recently sitting in Phil
adelphia, Vice-President Edward S.
Morse, Of Salem, Mass, gave an address
upon the subject, "Man in the Tertia-
ries." He began by an enumeration Of
the difficulties to be met in the study Of
anthropOlOgy, condensIng his thoughts
in the remark: Man finds it well nigh
impossible to step outside of himself
and regard himself as a mammal among
hundreds of other species of mammals"
He also alluded to the theological bar
riers that have been encountered for
years. He considered, at considerable
length, the DarW1n1an theory of mans
evolution from an ape, viewing in detail
the different evidences that affirmed or
cOntFadicted that theory. He passed in
detail the various theories as to the ORR
gin and development Of the human be-
ing, and concluded by saying:
"Ihe further we penetrate into the
past, and ascertain some definite hOri-
ZOn of mans occurrence, other Observers
in widely different regions of the earth
bring to light traces of mans existence
In equally Low horizons. The evidences
of the remOteness Of mans existence in
time and space is so vast that, to borrow
an astronomical term. no paraliax has
thus far been established by which we
can even lalusIy approximate the dis
lance Of the horizon in which he first
appeared. From this fact we are fusti-
fed in the assumption, that the progeu-
itOrs Of quartenary man, under differ
ent genera possibly, must be sought for
in the tertiaries. Science viii not gain
by the erection of any theoretical barri-
ers against tertiary man, until such de-
finite forms are met with that shall rea-
sonably settle the beds ia which he first
occurred.
eve know in what rocks it would be
obviously absurd to look for his remains.
or the remains of any mammal So
long, however as forms are found Ia the
lowest beds of the tertiaries, having the
remOtest affinity to his order, we must
not cease our scrutiny in scanning, un-
BIASED even by the rocks Of this bcri-
zOn, for traces of that creature who. nm
til within a few short years, was regard
ed as five thousand eight hundred and
some odd years old, and who, in spite Of
protest and prejudice, has asserted his
claim TO an antiquity so great and 2 dis
pursiOn so profound, that thus far no
tendency to a conveyance Of his earliest
trace has yet been demonstrated"

Feeding Young Pigs.

A correspondent Of the Rural and
StOckB1an says: Please tell your friends
that sweet milk Is not good for pigs. For
the first day or two new milk may be
good with occasionally q very little
mOlasses in it. Put this in if the excre-
ment is hard, and then perhaps in pro-
portions of a teaspOOnful of mOlasses to a
quart Of milk. But never give sweet milk
longer than two or three days. And
here / viii mention some other facts that
some readers may not know:
The important point in feeding soWs
with pig is to feed light, IOOsening food
to a great extent. More thsn One-half
the pigs lost at birth are victims of the
feverish condition caused In the SOW by
too exclusively feeding of corn and other
heating food. SOWs are often furious and
refuse to let the pigs suck from the same
cause. Therefore, first and foremost keep
the bowels moderately loose during the
period of pregnancy. And may here
mention that the same is true Of all ami
mails, especially horses. Remember, too,
never to let a SOW, either when with pig
or with sucking pigs, have any milk
from a COW freshly come in, until the
milk is good. II is almost sure deathto
the young.

III. D. Conway in san Francisco CtrOn-
icLs: Railway travelling is very cOmfOrta-
BILE in India except for the dust. One is
apt TO have a large saloon carriage to
ones self, or with only one or two COM
paniOns. The seats are easily made into
mattresses. 1t is customary for the tray
eler to carry his own quilt and pillows,
which cost only five or six rupees. Not
much can be said in favor of the railway
officials, however. The hooking clerks
always try to get your pound for ten
rupees instead of twelve, and the guards
are not always polite. They ike especi-
allyto show their greatness by contempt
for the Babus. The meals prepared at
the stations are mostly bad and the
charges excessive. Mendicancy Is so
general in India that the dogs have
caught the exact trick of the habitual
beggar. Whenever a train com into q
station the dogs hasten to stand in front
of the first-class carriages, not noticing
the others. They. gaze up at their OcCu-
pants silently and pathetically. There
Is a considerable charm about these sta
tons, where one may best see the Gus
toms of the country he is passing
through.

A GHOST IN BOSTON.
How a wicked Woman Wandered About a
House Of Great Respectability.

q u
House of Great Respeetabnity.
A very singular story which forms one
of the sensational social topics of the day
is the best authenticated of the many
stories of the supernatural that have
been lately told. Only a short time ago
young and well-knOWn artist, Mr.. A,
as invited to pay a visit to his dis
tinguished friend, Mr.. lizard. The
house was filed with guests, but a large
and handsome room was placed at his
disposal, apparently one of the best in
the house. For three days he had a de-
lightful time IN all particulars save one;
he had each night a horrible dream. He
dreamed-Or asreally-suddenly aWak-
ened by some person entering his room,
and in looking around saw the room
brilliantly lighted, while at the window
stood a lady elegantly attired in the act
of throwing something out. THIS &C
cOmplished, she turned her face toward
the only spectator, showing a counter
ance so distorted by evil passions that
he was thrilled with horror. Soon the
light and the figure disappeared, leaving
the artist suffering from a trightful night
mare. On returning to his city home he
was so haunted by the fearful counter
ance which had for three successive
nights troubled him, that he made a
sketch Of it, and so real that the evil ex-
preston seemed to hOrrify every one
who saw it.
Not a great while after, the artist went
to make an evening visit to Mr.. lizard;
that gentleman invited him to his picture
gallery, as he wished to show him some
remarkable old family portraits. What
was Mr.. A Is surprise to recognize among
them, in the likeness Of a stately, we'll
dressed lady, the one who had so troubled
his slumbers on his previous visit, lack
ing, however, the revolving, wicked eX-
preston. Soon as he saw it he involun-
tarily exclaimed, 'Why, 1 have seen that
lady-P' eIndeedl" said Mr.. l., smiling
"that is hardly possible, as she died more
than 100 years ago. She was the second
wife OF my great grandfather and reflect
ed anything but credit on the family.
She was strongly suspected of having
murdered her husbands son by former
marriage, in order to make her own child
heir to the property. The unfortunate
boy broke his neck in a fall from win
dow, and there was every reason to be-
lieve that he was preCipitated from the
window by his stepmOther." The artist
then told his host the circumstances Of
his thrice-repeated experience, or dream,
and sent for his sketch, which, so far as
the featuresWe concerned, was ldenti-
cal with the portrait in Mr.. lizards gall
lery. The sketch has since been photo
graphed, but from its hideOus expression
is far from pleasant to look upon.

A Youthful Voyaeer.

A four-year-old boyof Albert Quirriple,
residing short distance to the east of Port
Monmouth, N. j., wandered down TO the
beach TO play on Wednesday. There he
got into small skif, and while enjoying
himself the tide rose and floated the boat
out into the bay. and us strong tide was
running he drifted up the Raritan bay to-
wards Amboy. Full two hours passed,
when the tide changed and commenced set
ting out, which carried the skiff tOwar Is
Sandy Hook. A clammer who was raking
in the bay observed the boat floating Out to
sea, and. seeing no one in 1t, concluded it
had got adrift. He started after it, but
what was his surprise to find fast asleep In
the bottom Of the boat little boy. The
poor child had evidently become exhausted
by bis long journey. He could tell his
name, and soon was restored TO his pa
rents. who were distracted at his long alb
sence.

Reeoveries After Hanging.


The earliest case on record is that OF
Tiretta de Balsham, whom Henry III. par
doned In 1864 because she had survived
hanging. Females, however, ap-
pear to have had more such escapes than
males. DR.. Plot gives several instances !;
one that OF Anne Green, who in 1850 came
to when in the hands OF the doctors for
dissection another Of Mrs. Cope. hanged
at Oxford in 1858, who was suspended for
an unusually long period, and after
ward let fall violently. yet she re-
covered, only to be more efectually
hanged next day. A third sDbstan-
tiated case was that OF hali-hanged
Maggie Dickson, who was hanged at
Edinburgh, in 1928, and whom the iolting
of the cart in which her body was removed
from the gallows recovered. Sir
William Petty, the eminent surgeon in
Queen Anne's time, owed his scientific
fame to his having resuscitated woman
who had been hanged. The body had been
begged. as was the custom, for the anatom-
ical lecture. Petty, finding symptoms OF
life, bled her, put her to bed with another
woman, aud gave her spirits and other re-
storatiyes. She recovered, whereupon the
students subscribed to endow her with a
small portion, and she soon after married,
and lived Tor fifteen years

A Whistle Heard Fifteen Miles.
plymouth Wis., Reporter


Several times during the winter the at
tention OF our citizens has been attracted
to the peculiar condition OF the atmosphere,
which at times possessed astonishing pow
ers for the transmission OF sound. On nu-
merous occasions the whistles in the manu-
factories at Sheboygan have been plainly
heard here, distance Of not less than fifteen
miles on q straight line. This acoustic
popularity has never been so noticeable
as In the past few weeks. An acous-
tic phenomenon that would well be
worthy the attention Of scientists
occurred between Sheboygan Falls and
Sheboygan about six weeks ago. A tele-
phone line connects the Falls Bank with
the German Bank, In Sheboygan, where
there is also q telephone exchange. The
residence OF C. II. Pape, which is about
two miles west OF Sheboygan, has commu-
nication with that city by telephone. At
the time above mentioned person stand
ing at the audiphone Of one machine could
hear communications occurring
between other parties on an entirely differ
ent line. For example, j. G. Fairweather,
cashier OF the Falls Bank. distinctly heard
between G. II. Pape and
parties in Sheboygan, although the Falls
Bank and Mr.. Pape's residence are con-
nected with the city by two entirely
different lines. Mr.. Pape and Mr.. Fair
weather then communicated directly with
each other in this circuitous manner. This
wonderful occurrence was at the time sup
posed TO be caused by the wires Of the two
lines coming In contact with each other.
But Mr.. Pape went out and examined the
two lines, and found that nowhere in the
entire distance OF the two miles between
bis residence and Sheboygan were the
wires nearer together than eight inches. So
the phenomenon has remained unsolyed.
That was the only time Of its occurrence.
