The rocks are the bones OF the divine
BODY, the soil is the flesh. the metals are
the nerves and veins; the tide, wind,
rain, clouds, frost and dew are ak
caused by its rsspirations, pulsations
and exhalations. Originally the noun
tains rose to the armament, aud the
seas covered the mountains TO their tops.
At that time there WAS in the divine
body no life besides the divine life.
Then the waters subsided; small herbs
grew, and in the lapse of cycles,devel-
oped into shrubs and trees. As the body
OF man, unwashed for years, breeds YER
min, so the mountains, unlaved by the
seas, breed worms and insects. greater
creatures developing out OF lesser.
Beetles in the course of ages became
tortoises, earthworms becames serpeuts,
high-hying insects became birds, some
of the turtle-doves became pheasants,
egrets became cranes and wildcats be-
came tigers. The praying mantis was
by degrees transformed into an ape, and
some of the apes became hairless. A
hairless ape made q fire by striking
crystal upon a rock, and, with the

any extraordinary discovery, yet de-
scribes much interesting work that is in

BY the excavations made on the east

there were in ancient times caves and
dwellings excavated in the rock, which
in later times were converted into ciss

about petriiied man which wass

pricked up his ears and came down

digging away down in the ground.
Suddenly they came across n petri-

be freed from some Of its most painful
features il men always acted to each
other on a basis OF real justice and in

feelings and preiudices out of sight. A
mans work ought to be judged by itself
and for itself alone, and the strength OF

upon what he is able TO do. And yet
most Of us are constantly neutralizing

failing to do justice 10 Others because
of some small personal prejudice against

plsruption Of rrIend.hIp.

Two women uptown, who have been
dear friends for years, are at daggers
points, says the New York Euening Sun,
and the friends OF both are ranged on
one side or the other of the controversy.
The cause of it all is cook. Mrs. A.
had cook of superior skill. One day
she appeared before her mistress and
quietly announced that she should go
into Mrs b. s service the next month
because Mrs B. had offered her larger
wages. Mrs. A. was thunderstruck.
Her dearest friend come into her home
and steal away her chief dependence IN
this way? Impossible! She put on her
wraps and drove to Mrs. y. s home. IL
was only too true. Her own Ia
milinr friend in whom she had trusted
had lifted up her heel against her and
hired her cook out Of hand. Moreover,
when charged with her treachery she
coolly insisted that she had every right
in the world to hire another woman's
cook away from her il she could, no
matter il that woman was her best
friend.
Mrs. A. fairly gasped at the heresy.
Women had occasionally been known TO
do this dark and dishonorable deed, but
there had never been found one so hard
sned in iniquity to defend it. Perhaps
Mrs. b. would be capable Of like de-
Tense If she had estranged the atec-
tions of Mrs. AS husband or children
from her Mrs. b. had the grace given
her to reiom that there was no paral-
lei in the cases. This was an affair
purely of business. The cooks services
were worth so much n month TO Mrs
| A. IL they were worth more to another
woman that woman had u perfect right
10 make the fact known to the cool
and the cook to profit by it. This was
the business method, and no man &C
cused another of dishonorable methods
because he had offered his most compe
tent assistant better pay for his services
Mrs. A. refused 10 look at the mattel
in that light and they parted-Mrs. A
in tears, Mrs II. in the cool conscious
ness Of business sagacity aud of unsul
lied rectitude.
The matter was speedily brought int
an open parliament Of their common
women friends, there to be the sublec
of an intellectual game Of battledoo
and shuttle-eock that is still at It
briskest.

Aouarrel of Giants.

An amusing story concerning
Prince Bismarck and the late Field
Marshal Won Wrangel is now current
at Berlin. In 1864, during the war
with Denmark, old Wrangel was in
command of the allied Prussian and
Austrian forces. There was ut one
moment some fear at Berlin that the
western powers might object to the
allied troops entering Jutland, in
consequence OF which telegram was
sent to the field.marshal, bidding
him advance no further Wrangel
thereupon wired back to the Emperor
William that these diplomatists,
who spoil the most successful opern-
tions. deserve the gallows." Bis
marck took care to ignore Wrangeps
presence whenever he met him on
later occasions, which could not fail
TO annoy him. One day, however,
they met at dinner, having both been
invited to the Kings table. 1t was
popularity OF Wrangel that he al
ways called everybody "du, OF
thou, and, turning to Bismarck
who was seated next to him, he said
"My son, canst thou not forget|
"No." was the curt reply. After {
short pause, Wrangel began again
"My son, canst thou not forgiven
with all my heart" answered Bis
marck, and the two remained friend
till Wrungel's death.
