"Thunder Stones"

In 1928 Jussieu addressed the French
Academy on the "Origin and Uses OF
Thunder-stones" He showed that recent
travellers from various parts of the world
had brought number of weapons and
other implements of stone to France, and
that they were essentially similar to what
in Europe had been known as thunder
stones ;" year later this fact was
clinched into the scientific mind of France
by the Jesuit La6tau, who published a
work showing the similarity between the
customs of aborigines then existing in
other lands and those of the early inhabi-
tants of Europe. So began, in these works
of Jussieu and Laftau, the science of CON-
parative ethnography.
In 1870 Mahudel presented paper to
the French Academy of Inscriptions on
the so-called "thunder-stones," and also
presented series of plates which showed
that these were stone implements, which
must have been used at an early period in
human history.
In IT'S Button, In his "Epoques de la
Nature" intimated his belief that "thun-
der-stones" were made by early races of
men; but he did not press this view, and
the reason for his reserve was obvious
enough he had already one quarrel with
the theologians on his hands, which had
cost him dear-public retraction and
humiliation; his declaration, therefore,
attracted little notice.-Populdr Science
Monthly.

ton of the consumption, although our
own shores, properly prepared, could pro-
duce oysters in enormous quantities.
Hitherto British enterprise has not been
directed toward this remunerative indus
try, says St james Budget, but has left
it in the hands of few fishermen
and ancient corporations on the Essex and
kentish coasts, who lack both capital
and scientific knowledge. How profitable
oyster breeding may become when well
managed may be imagined from the fact
that the only outlay consists in preparing
a stretch of suitable foreshore with tiles,
bricks, shells, etc, TO provide resting
place for the spat or baby oyster. 1t is
estimated that one oyster produces
from one to three million young, so that
if only very small proportion
be secured the labor expended is most
beautifully repaid. The average wholesale
price of native oysters this year has beer
II shillings per 100. Taking the value o.
the product of one tile at the lowest figure
the result would be 9 shillings, and, the
tiles being laid one on the other in sem
blance of an open wall, 5000 tiles pei
acre is not an exaggerated number. l!
would thus seem that with capital and
enterprise the national production Of
oysters would largely increase, while the
price would naturally fall.

HOW Women Go shoppinc.

But it is when fair woman goes a-shop-
ping that she becomes the least admirable.
Then her hand is raised against every wo-
man who crosses her path. From the
moment she pushes open the swinging
doors of the first retail shop she enters,
and lets them fly back into the face of the
woman behind her, till she reaches her
home again, she has laid herself open at
every turn to the charge of bad manners.
She has in her progress made tired clerks
spend hours in taking down goods simply
for her amusement, when she has not the
smallest intention of purchasing from
them. She has made audible comments
upon "the stupidity and slowness of these
shop girls" She has swept off from loaded
shop counters with her draperies more
than one easily-damaged article, which she
has scorned to pick up and replace. She
has jostled against other women and met
their indignant looks with stony, not to
say insolent stare. She has needlessly
blocked the way when other wished to
pass her. She has carried her closed UNI
brella or sunshade at an angle that was a
perpetual menace to any woman who came
near her. She has put up her glass and
stared haughtily through it at the gown
of the woman next to her at the bargain
counter. In her shrill, penetrating voice,
she has discussed in the most public places
gossip rejecting more or less injuriously
upon other people. She has, in short, done
very little that she should have done, and
very, very much that she ought not to
have done yet she returns from it all
with serener conscience than a medieval
saint coming home 10 the convent after a
day particularly we'll filled with meritori-
Gus deeds. She will tell you complacently
that man can never learn to shop like a
woman. And man can never be too
thankful for his inability in this particu-
lar direction.-NorthA american RsuieW.

For Tobacco Users.

According to the British Medical Journal,
DR.. Gautrelet, of Vichy, claims to have
discovered method of rendering tobacco
harmless to mouth, heart and nerves with
out detriment to its aroma. According to
him, piece of cotton wool stepped in 5
to 10 per cent. solution of pyrogallic acid
inserted in the pipe or cigar holder will
neutralize any possible ill effects of the
nicotine In this way not only may the
generally admitted evils of smoking be
prevented, but cirrhosis Of the liver,
which, in Dr. Gautrelet's experience, is
sometimes caused by tobacco, and such
lighter penalties of over-indulgence as
headache and Turing OF the tongue, may
be avoided.

more promptly pail of water deluged

The Right Chord,

On board man-of-war any member OF
the ships company touches his hat when
he comes on deck. He would do so were
there no superior officer present. He
"salutes the deck" The custom is typical
of every sailors sentiment of respect, adj
miration and affection for his vessel, if the
craft be handsome and first-class "sea
boat" The strength of this sailor loyalty
was well understood by an English officer,
the late Captain Hall.
Captain Hall was in command of a re-
markedly fine frigate on the South African
station, which he always kept in exquisite
order, and of which he and his crew were
Justly proud. The handsome bust on her
beautiful igure-head was brightly gilded
and great care was taken of it.
On one occasion the harmony which
usually prevailed on board was in some
way disturbed. Instead of resorting to cor
poral punishment, Captain Hall summoned
the men aft, and in simple, manly speech
pointed out the improperly of their con-
duct. He concluded thus:
$50 now, my lads, if this be not put an
end to, and hearty good will restored, I'll
blac ken your fgure-head and put the ship
in Mourning
Had bombshell fallen at their feet, the
men could not have been more astonished.
He had touched the right chord Have
their figure head blackened Not they
anything rather than that They at once
resumed their wonted good behavior and
amiability.- YOUTHS Companion.

"To beat the record" in every walk OF life-busi

pace is set, straining of nerve and muscle, which
has for its goal nervous exhaustion, shattered

of distress arising from our high-strung civiliza
ton. Thousands upon thousands of men are

In business and finance, the overworked clerks
the busy brain workers, women as well as men.

nervous power, and almost every home shelters
