anthropologists we find the views of
the monogenists and the polygenists
as far apart and as decided as they
were fifty years ago. The question
naturally arises whether a study which
has no established principles and no
accepted classification can rightly be
dignifed with the name of a science.
Writers whose opinion on such ques-
ton must be received with respect have
been inclined to answer it in the mega
tive. Eminent among these, from
the position which he holds, must
be ranked the distinguished chief of
the American bureau of ethnology.
" There u.s." declares Major Powell, in
a late number of Science (June "a,
1880, ga science of anthropology, COM
posed of subsidiary Sciences" which
he enumerates. "There is" he con-
tinues, ga science of sociology, which
includes all the institutions of mankind;
there is a science of philology, which
includes the languages of mankind,
and there is a science of philosophy,
which includes the opinions of man
kind; but there is no science of eth
nology, for the attempt to classify
mankind in groups has failed on every
hand. "-Popular Science Monthly.

Questions Answered.

NJ. G. H., PLAINFIELD.-Dr Edgerly
is the special examiner of the pension
Office at Montpelier and will, no doubt,
be the one to investigate your case.
He will give you notice before COM
mencing the investigation. Special
Examiner Farrar OF St. Johnsbury may
possibly have your case, as some of
your witnesses reside near him.
S. d. B., WooDBURY.-As soldier who
entered the United States military serv-
ice in February, 1862, and was dis
charged in August, 1862, by reason of
sickness, is not entitled to bounty. If
discharged for wounds received in the
service he would be entitled to the
same bounty as if he had served out the
full period of his enlstment-three
years.
w. S., NORTHFIELD.-Ther is not
much prospect of any service pension
bill passing congress this session. The
cent-a-day" bill is service pension
and is much more Objectionable than
the SS-a-month bill. Many think that
the soldiers are asking too much at this
session of congress and are injuring the
chances of the passage of the " dis
ability BILL" which at the beginning of
the session stood fair for an early enact
ment. The committee on pensions in
the house have decided, it is said, to
report no service bill at this session.

Queer Notions Concerning America.

An English lady who had travelled
over the greater part of Europe said
she had great desire to come to
America, and her principal object
in doing so was to shoot Niagara.
l rather opened my eyes at this, and
said that thought she must refer to the
celebrated trip down the rapids of the
St. Lawrence; but she was very positive
on the subject, and said she meant
Niagara and nothing else. She had I'M
derstood that they did it in a steamboat,
and she knew she should enjoy the SEN
sation. A well-educated, middle-aged
gentleman told me that the reason our
civil war lasted so long was that we had
no military men in our country, and
that war carried on entirely by civ
ilians could not proceed very rapidly. If
any of you have ever seen an English
atlas you will understand why it is diff
ficult to get from it a good idea of
America. We shall find in such an
atlas full and complete maps of every
European country and principality, a
whole page being sometimes given to
an island or to a colony in Asia and
Africa, but the entire United States,
with sometimes the whole of North
America besides, is crowded into a
single map. Some of these are so small
that the New England States are not
large enough to contain their names,
and are designated by letters which re-
fer to the names printed in in open part
of the Atlantic ocean. No wonder that
the people who use these maps have
limited idea of our country.-St.
! Nicholas.

Taste in Advertising.

For some months past a series of ar
tistic advertisements has been running
in this paper and they will continue for
some time to come. Reference is made
to Messrs. Proctor Il CANDLES Ivory
Soap advertisements. These devices
for attracting the attention of the pub
lie to an article of commerce and daily
household consumption are among the
most agreeable to the eye and gener-
ally the most artistic which it has been
the pleasure of this paper to place be-
fore its readers in a long time. As
pictorial illustrations they easily surpass
the best bOok-work of twenty years
ago. They are simple in design, neat
in conception and clean and open in
execution. In all these respects they
are outside of and clear beyond the
ordinary range of illustrations prepared
for advertising. They are examined
regularly, with sense of pleasure, by
people oftaste, not only because they are
intended to advance the special interest
Of the manufacturers of an eXtraOrdina-
rily valuable article of domestic use, but
because they are neat and attractive in
themselves. Ina word, they are the best
example presented to the public of how
to work tasteful designs into the COM
monplace business of life. This para
graph is not written for the mere pur-
pose of praising Ivory Soap, for that
article speaks for itself to all who know
a good thing when they see it, but it is
written to call attention to the degree
of taste which may be employed even
in so plain subject as soap. 1t dem
Onstrates IN a skillful mind that tho
business which it aims to promote is
conducted with admirable skill, and can
not possibly have anything of the ele-
ment of Cheap Johnism in it. The
Ivory Soap people believe that what
ever is worth doing at all is worth doing
well.

Is There a Science of EthnOlOgy (?

EthnolOgy has been defined, briefly,
as "the science of the races of men,"
and, more fully, as 4" the science which
treats of man as a member of tribe or
nation, and of his culture, morals and
language" Many treatises on this
science have been given to the world
by scholars of the first eminence from
the days of Camper and Blumenbach
to our own time. But when we eX-
anime their works we are struck by
the fact that no two of them are agreed
on the mere elements or fundamentals
of the science. If we inquire, for eX-
ample, the number of the races of men,
we find that Virey is satisfied with two,
and Cuvier with three; that Linn@us
makes four; Blumenbach, five; Button,
six; Peschel, seven; Agassiz, eight
Pickering, eleven; Friedrich Muller,
twelve; Bory de St. Vincent, fifteen;
while Morton increases the number to
twenty-three. If we see the criteria
by which the races are distinguished,
we discover that one high authority
proposes the color of the skin, another
the texture of the hair, another the
shape of the skull and fourth mere
geographical location - while others
combine with one or more of these dis
tinctions the minor characteristics Gas
they deem them) of language, stature
and mental traits. On the most inn
portant question OF all, the question
whether the races of men are dis
tinct species or simply varieties, the
votaries of the science are divided
into opposing camps. In the latest
works of the most distinguished

The Bull.Head Nut.

" Are those things made of ivory or
ebony?" asked a reporter while looking
at what appeared to be highly polished
miniatures of bulls head arranged on
the counter of a Broadway fruit-store.
-" Neither. If you handle them you
will see they are too light to be formed
of either material" What are they,
them" "They are nuts. They can
be kept twenty years, if desired. They
come from Japan, India and other parts
of Asia. They are called the trapa,
and in shape are not unlike the iron
instruments used by the ancients to i'm
pede the movements of cavalry. The
plant grows in the water. After flower
ing the lobes of the calyX harden and
from two to four horns appear on the
top of the fruit, giving it the appear
ance of BULLS head, or that of the
Rocky Mountain goat. The plant is a
floating one, with long jonted root
stalks. Tufts of hair-like roots strike
out from the joints, and are surmounted
by radiating clusters of triangular
toothed leaves, with swollen float-like
stalks to buoy them up" {" Are the
nuts edible?'' Yes; the nut is full of
Starcn, ana IN ASA is eaten Tor 1OOd.
In many places it is often ground into
flour and made into bread. A popula-
ton of 10000 persons in one part of
India is maintained five months of the
year mainly by the food procured from
this nut. One of the Indian ra iahs
received a revenue of 100000 a year
from the sale of this nut. In Japan
it is also eaten for food, and as it
comes at time when other cereals are
scarce, it has been classed as sacred, as
mama was when found by the Israel
ties on their journey through the will
derness. "-Ne,o York Mail and Er-

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES

My oldest child, now six years of age. when an in.
FAINT six months old was attacked with a vrulent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies fail
ing, we called our family physician, who attempted
to cure it; but 1t spread with almost incredible
rapidity, until the lower portion of the little fell
lows person. from the middle of his back down to
his knees, solid rash, ugly painful, boched
and malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace
by day. Finally we were advised to try the CUTI-
cURA REMEDIES. The effect was simply mar
velous. In three or four weeks complete
wrought leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been at
tackled. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is strong, healthy
