The environment read from geology indi-
Gates that the Trenton man was a hunter or
fisherman who used and lost the primitive
tools of his mysterious craft within the wa
tiers rather than upon the land and thus APP
pears to materially narrow the range of hy-
pothesis as to his activities; but the extrava-
gance in labor indicated by the vast numbers
of unworn implements suggests that the rapid
modification in environment and occupation
accompanying the ice invasion outran the re-
sulting modification in appliances, and that
the implements were really invented on land
and were but i'll adapted to the new condi-
tions and the introduction Of a new type Of
implement during the brief epoch Of gravel
deposition gives support to the suggestion,
So the margin of the cloud enveloping the
beginnings of human life In America is slowly
lifting Already there is definite and cumu-
lative evidence of mans existence during the
latest ice epoch, with strong presumption
against an earlier origin than the first quater-
nary ice invasion. Already it is known that
the primitive American haunted the ice front
rather than the fertile plain, and must have
been hunter or fsherman already his en-
vironment is so well known as to partially
elucidate his activities, but the first traces Of
the autochthon yet found tell of an intelligent
being who dominated the animal world as
does his descendant, and thus the mystery Of
mans intimate origin even at this late day
remains enshrouded as darkly as ever.

Court Room Wit.

None of the professions seem more devoted
to ready wit than that of the law. 1t is re-
lated that Sir Nicholas Bacon was about to
pass Judgment upon man who had been
guilty of robbery, at that time punishable
by death; but the culprit pleaded for mercy
on the ground that he was related to the
Judge "How is that" he was asked. my
lord" was the reply, ''your name is Bacon,
mine is Hog, and hog and bacon have always
been considered akin" THAT is true" an
swered Sir Nicholas; 'but as hog is not ba-
con until it has hung, until you are hanged
you are no relation of mine" Still more to
the point is this of two opposing barristers:
The lawyer for the defense was so severe
upon the prosecutor that the latter rose and
asked: docs the learned counsel think me q
foolr The retort was prompt: my friend
wishes to know if consider him a fool; and
in reply to his question can only say that !
am not prepared to deny it." There are many
instances Of passages of arms between bench
and bar, but this one may be new to most Of
our readers. At the close Of heightened
and bitter wrangle between judge and a
prominent counsel, the former said: "Well,
sir, if you do not know how to conduct your
self as gentleman, am sure can't teach
you" To which the barrister mildly replied:
THAT is so, my lord. San Francisco Ar

The Antiquity Of Bronze.

According to an analysis made by Fxsfes-
sor Berthelot, the scepter Of Pepi l, an Egyp-
tian king of the sixth dynasty, consists Of
almost pure copper. The scepter in question
belongs to the British museum, and, as a
special favor to Minister Waddington, the
museum authorities consented to give por-
ton Of the precious object to be submitted
to Professor Berthelot for analysis. Some
filings from the inside-the scepter is hol-
low-weighing less than one-half grain, or
exactly 0.024S gramme, were detached for
examination. The professor has found them
to consist of reddish metal slightly oxi-
died, and quantitative analysis, correct
within one-tenth of millisramme, has
proved the substance to be pure copper,
without any admixture Of tin, and doubtful
traces of lead. His conclusions are that,
since archeologists agree in placing Pepi's
reign at about 1000 years before the Chris
tian era, the introduction of bronze, both in
the Old World and in America, occurred
very nearly at the same period, and at an
epoch not much further back than fifty or
sixty centuries from the present time. -Scien-

The Executioner mt Mess.

Capt Raabe was man whose name had
weight in the French cavalry. He was a tall
man, belonging to tho middle age trooper
type With military qualities of the highest
kind no had singular bearing, savage
sort of misanthropy, and n cynical tongue,
which stood in the way of promotion. When
he was in the Sixth Lancers, on garrison duty
at Commercy, one of his comrades brought
his father to dino with him at the officers
mess, a man of humble position and unpre-
tentiously dressed Capt Raabe, considering
that this guest had not been fifty received,
gave expression to his opinion, saying that if
the executioner of Commercy had come in
evening dress he would have had better re.
ception. The officers demurring, he made no
rejoinder, but shortly afterward came to
mess with guest whose dress was irreproach-
able. Every one lavished attentions on tho
unknown. When dinner was over Capt.

Wash Your Hands.

The Sanitary Era claims that cases Of in
lection that could be accounted for in no
other way have been explained by the fingers
as a vehicle. In handling money, especially
of paper door knobs, banisters, car steps and
a hundred things that every one must fire.
auently touch, there are chances innumer-
able of picking up germs Of typhoid, scarla-
tina, diphtheria, smallpox, etc. Yet some
persons actually put such things in their
mouths if not too large. Before eating, or
touching that which is to be eaten, the
hands should be Immediately and scrupulous-
ly washed. We hear much about general
cleanliness as ''next to goodness" 1t may
be added that here in particular, it is also
ahead of health and safety. The Jews made
no mistake in that except they washed they
ate not" 1t is a sanitary ordinance as well
as an ordinance of decency.

The Delightful Garden Lunches OF sum-
mer Resorts and Country Places.
A charming form Of hospitality in vogue
with many a group at summer watering
places and among the residents of small cities,
where the villas are surrounded by green
lawns and trees, is the garden lunch. People
are asked at o'clock to good lunch, half in
the house and half out Some Of the guests
are out under the trees or under tents, and
some in snug rooms where they will not take
cold. Afterward all are assembled in the
house for music, and they may then so away
in time for a drive or an afternoon tea.
Tables are set with pretty awnings, some
of yellow, some lilac, others pink and so on,
and the floral decorations are in the same
colors with the awnings Then within the
house the floral emblems should all be Of
graceful design. The monogram of the lady
who is especially honored may ornament the
table and appear on the mirrors; this can
be done by florist, or, still better, by one OF
the young ladies Of the house.
As for the viands, they can be what pleases

He was a rather precocious youth, a thor
ough scholar, and took position under gov
eminent at the early age Of 90 In 1896 he was
appointed minister Of instruction and general
attorney of the Holy Synod, and at once re-
versed the whole tendency of the schools,
compelling the universities to devote their
labor to classical studies, and maintaining
that the modern system of education made
the students skeptics and consequently re-
bellious. In this movement he was not sus-
tanned, and therefore resigned. His first
movement as minister of the interior was an
attack on the privileges of the Zemstvos, or
village communes, and his next an attempt
to subject the entire Greek element Of the
empire to the national church. His proposal
to compel the Outstanding Of all the Polish
schools excited such bitter opposition that
even the Conservatives opposed him. At one
time he established a complete system Of spies
in all the Russian schools, and ordered teach
ers and professors to report privately on the
opinions and political associations Of students.
In 1885 there was such a Juror against him
that he offered his resignation, but the car
refused to accept it. He maintained his des-
potic system to the last, and died the most

The Cornetist's Dog.

A Scranton coruet player tells about how
his dog acts. As soon as the player begins to
toot on his horn the dog rushes toward him,
places his paws on his masters knees, looks
him in the eye, raises his nose and gives one
long howl. If the music keeps right on, the
dog scampers to the furthest corner Of the
room, whirls about, faces his master, sits
upon his launches and howls as long as the
tooter toots Whether the dog does this to
express his dislike for the sounds, or whether
his howls are indications of intense pleasure,

Or fall like fire from an aching heart
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubtings come.
Lashing the waves Of life's great deep
From dimpling waters to seething foam.
Over all paths some clouds must lcwS,
Under all feet some sharp thorns Spr1ng,
Tearing the flesh to bitter wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting.

Unto all arms some burdens given,

Gliding the ruins Of life's great plain

The white of an egg beaten up to a froth
with two tablespoonful Of rose water is a
remedy for inhamed eyes or eyelids.
For damp hands mixture of four ounces
eau de Cologne and half an ounce of tincture
of belladonna has been advised. Rub the
hands several times a day with little of it.
