nurIal customs o. the stone Are.

That the Stone age men had fixed dwelling
places appears from their often magnificent
tombs, which seem to point to the beginning
Of an organized society and the combined
industry Of a small community or Of a whole
tribe" These tombs are described as IDOL
MEMS" passage graves" and ''stone cists. "
OF these the dOlmens were the earliest; the
passage graves are little later; the uncov-
cred stone cists are later still; and the cists
covered with barrow belong to the time of
transition between the Stone and Bronze
ages
''During the Stone age" says Professor
Montelius, "bodies were always buried I'M
burned, in a recumbent or sitting position.
By the side Of the dead body was usually laid
a weapon, tool or some ornaments. We
often find in graves Of this period earthen-
ware vessels, now filed only with earth The
care bestowed upon the last resting place Of
the departed certainly 6etollens belief in a
future life; but the things placed by the side
Of the dead seem TO show that that life was
believed to be merely a continuation of the
life on earth, with the same needs and the
same pleasures" Offering stones, with little
cup shaped holes, are sometimes found ON the
roof stones of graves of the Stone age. They
are popularity called ''elf mills, and are still
regarded as holy; and, it is said, offerings
are still secretly made in them.-W. II. Lar
rabee in Popular Science Monthly.

The American Analyst thinks it would be
an excellent idea if physicians of the present
day would invent some other reason for about
all the deaths which occur nowadays than
the heart failure. It is difficult for any one
converSant with the organs of the human
body TO understand how any human being
can die without heart failure, while the causes
of the failure Of the heart at death may be
very numerous. This might not be of serious
moment were it not for the fact that hundreds
Of people are being nearly frightened to death
by the constant use of the cause for sudden
deaths, and many people who are sick, and
necessarily have some heart symptoms, are
kept in constant terror by reading or hear
ing I'M other ways of death after death by
heart failure. 1t would be well if physicians
who are too indolent or too ignorant to search
out the disease lying back of tho heart fail
ure to consider how much harm they are do
ing the community, and If they cannot cor
rect the habit, newspapers and the public
should avoid giving currency to this I'M
founded and dangerous phrase. There are
probably no more deaths from heart failure
in these times than heretofore but a new
cause for death has been coined, and the ner-
vous and timid are being severely injured

The earliest standing army in Europe was

Our forefathers believed firmly enough in
the evil eye As far back as we are able to
pierce through the obscurity of antiquity we
find abundant evidences Of this strange belief.
Chaldean COMPUTATIONS against the power of
the evil eye are still in existence. An Assyrian
incarnation of the Seventh century B. c.
against a sorcerer represents they glance of the
evil eye as most dangerous to man. Various
Egyptian papyri refer to this fatal power,
and formula are given to preserve one from
its effects. Vedaic hymns recite prayers to
Aqua against the sorcerer, with his baleful
glance, and there was a formula in an old
Hindoo marriage ceremony recited by the
groom against the possible evil effect from
the glances of the bride. Among the curious
laws governing the Brahmin is one that, in
satisfying the wants of nature, he must not
look at the sun, moon, stars or planets, nor
at temple, statue, a sacred tree or a COW.
for his glance would then be harmful to any
of these. The Persian sacred books are full
Of the subject. 4 man Of evil life is here
deemed able to arrest the growth Of plants
and the current of living water, or to deaden
the ripening fruit
An allusion to this deadly power is found
in Ecclesiastes. Various ancient writers
give accounts Of people who possessed this
power to a wonderful extent. The cases of
Medea and of the Gorgons will recur to every
one. Pliny speaks especially of the Scythian
and nlyrian women. Ovid, Plutarch, Hor-
ace, Herodotus and other classical writers
frequently allude to it, St. Mark puts an al.
fusion to the evil eye in the mouth Of Christ.
and St Paul alludes to it in the epistle to the
Galatians. The early fathers of the church
reason much about it with the result of leav-
ing the matter in great confusion, but noiie
Of them question this power They usually
ascribe to the Deity the source Of this great
influence, but later writer's assign it to the
malevolence Of Satan. Children, handsome
people and the aged were declared particu-
larly subject to harm from this source. 'sFor
there are some, says one Of these writers,
'who have eyes so brilliant and full OF fire
that with single glance they infect others,
and particularly children, the venom Of fas-
cination acting upon them by reason Of the
perverse or malign quality and dangerous
humor Of the injecting eye of the sorcerer

The opinion of modern French scientists, as
presented in the article on food in the "Nou-
veau Dictionnaire de Medicine" may be
noted and read with interest. According to
this authority, Fish is only slightly nutri-
tive, but easily digestible. Its exclusive use
would soon produce a diminution of muscular
force, paleness of the tissues, and all the signs
of an alimentation insufficient in quality
Fish is more digestible than the white
meat Of fowl.
1.-THE flesh of shellfish crustaceans is hard
of digestion.
Roast meat is more digestible than boiled.
Eggs very slightly cooked and dairy pro
duce are more digestible than white meats.
''Of vegetables the feculents are the most
digestible.
''New bread is heavier than stale bread.
''The ailments to which the cooks art gives
liquid or semi-liquid form are in general
more digestible
1.-THE more readily an aliment is dissolved
by the juices of the stomach, the easier its
digestion"
Add to these facts the remark of Dalton:
"Cheese contains the nutritious elements of
the milk in a condensed but somewhat indi-
gestible form"
Nevertheless, you will eat a little cheese
after your dinner; for, as Brillat-Savarin
hath it, "a dessert without cheese is like a
beautiful woman with only one eye"

The next day the drayman Went down to

Simply because the pasture IS kept nearly

For hearts that are old and dead.

But while he spoke spied
A wicked arrow peeping
From the quiver at his side,
And when stopped TO kiss him,
Before l could caress him.
He seized the tiny dart,
And threw It at my heart;
Then, like a lark in May.
Fluttered and flew away.

And Love was gay;

He tossed his golden head
Like little child In play;
He said, 70, happy dayI
