Mans Oldest Home.

Biologists have shown us that the
Oldest rocks, Or those which first lifted
their heads above the waters and fogs
of the early world, are found here in
America, while there are relics which
show that man existed here prior to
the drift period and when more than
half the continent was covered with re-
ceding glaciers. That he lived at the
time the mastodon roamed over our
prairies and through the forests is cer-
tain, for his implements have been
found associated with and beneath the
bones of these now extinct monsters,
as well as with other animals of the
same or an earlier period. Relics and
data are abundant in showing the high
antiquity Of man in America. and that
it is much more in accordance with
facts and reason that this is his ances-
trail home than in any other part of the
world. 1t may be well. however to
remind those who seek the truth that
the far distant time when man first be-
gan to make history on this continent
must not be subjected to the arbitrary
DEGREES of modern chronology. Time
must be reckoned by cycles of centu-
ries, not by months and years. for ma
ture sets up no milestones to mark the
passage OF a never beginning or ending
eternity.

Mapping the World.

Almost the whole of Europe has been
covcrd by these exact surveys. Even
inthe Balkan states. where the easy
going and unscient;fic Turk has done
almost nothing to map the country that
was long under his control the work
has been done for him by the enterprise
of the Russians, Austrians and Germans,
who naturally have taken'a very great
interest in mapping this mountainous
and debatable quarter Of Europe. The
first country on the continent to UNDER
take these minute surveys was France,
in 1850, and the work has steadily pro-
gre3sed in various countries until
almost the whole Of Europe has been
mapped in beautiful and elaborate de-
.ail. We find, however, that in a
large part OF Scandinavia, Spain and
eastern Russia map makers have not
yet the advantage of these detailed
surveys.-Goldthwaite's Geographical
Magazine.

The EVIL Eye.

The Corsicans are not the only peo-
pie in the world who believe in tho
evil eye, for the Turk is so affected by
it that he thinks it extends its infu-
ences to whatever animals belong to
him. Strings of coral are sold on the
streets and said to be preventative
against the evil. 1t is very curious to
see the donkeys, crowds of which are
found in the streets, with strings of
coral twisted in their tails. When he
gets in a violent rage the very worst
thing that Turkish gentleman can
threaten his donkey with is the taking
away OF the jewels which protect him
from the evil eye, for in this way he
will give him over to oil kinds of
cruelty and the possession OF the de-
mon. In the markets bits of coral are
laid among the purple grapes or green
vegetables with the hope that good
luck will come to them and they will
bring higher price. Funnily enough.
an Egyptian connects a woman with
any suffering that may come to his
eyes. II they ache Or hurt, he looks
out for blonde woman named Fatima,
begs from her a bit OF bread and in
formation as to where he will find six
more Fatimas, that he may ask the
same favor Of each. Fortunately for
him, they do not all have to be blondes,
and a wise Egyptian father, seeing the
value of the name is apt to give it tt
one of his daughters, so there are plen
ty of Fatimas.

REASONS FOR SMOKING.
Claim that the Novelist who Respects
His Art Must Smoke.

HIS &irt Must smoke.
/ have spoken of another reason for
smoking, says the author of "When a
Mans Single i'll the Illustrated London
News. 1t only holds with novelists
People sometimes ask me why all
novelists are such depraved characters,
and my reply Gf any is that the nov
elist who respects his art must smoke.
The critics frequently say of novelist
that he does not get inside a certain
character. If You have the pluck to
read the novel, as we'll as the review
of it. you find, five times in six, that it
not get inside of. In other words, the
novelist has not smoked. To draw a
character well an author must sympa-
thize with him; must, for the time be-
ing, identify himself with him. Now,
there is only one way of getting in
touch with a villain.
You must smoke. If the villain is
merely the victim of circumstances, an
occasional cigarette is sufficient. A
villain who in the last chapter hears
the Christmas chimes. bursts into tears,
and is willing to begin a new life in
Canada can also be done on cigarettes.
On the other hand, pipe is needed
for the lady adventures Especially if
she smokes herself); nor can one hope
on two cigarettes to get inside villain
with two wives. Cigars may be avoid.
ed except where the villain is at the
very top Of his profession.

NOTED GEMS STOLEN.
Theft OF the Famous French Blue and Its
Reduction in Size.

Thieves have stolen and broken IN
to several pieces, for better safety of
sale, some of the earth's finest
diamond. a worse sacrilege than the
wanton vandalism of the Cloths and
Huns.

reduced by cleavage into one large and
Two small fragments. 1t originally
weighed 112 carats and was worth
5000, 900 francs.
The famous Regent itself was once
stolen from the Tuileries. On the
morning of Sept. II, 1891, Monsieur
Sergent and the two other commission
srs of the Paris Commune perceived
that some time during the night rob-
oers had made their way in. by scaling
the colonnade from the side of the
Place Louis XIV. and through a window
in that direction. Having by these
means obtained access to the great
halls of the Garde Meuble, they had
torn Off the seals without forcing the
lock, carried away the enormous
treasures contained in the cabinets,
and vanished without leaving any
other trace of their presence.
Several suspects We're arrested, but
were released after protracted in
quiry. An anonymous letter was ad-
dressed to the Commune, stating that
some of the stolen jewels would be
found in a ditch in the Alice des
Neuves, Champs Elysees.
M. Sergent at once fastened, in
company with his colleagues, to the
spot indicated. Here, sure enough,
was unearthed, among other valuables,
the Regent diamond, which, propably
because of its vast worth, had been
obliged to De abandoned by the thieves

Farmers and the Fair.

If the worlds Columbian exposition
proves to be "A great success in one
particular more than in another. said
the Orange Judd Farmer, it will be in
its agricultural exhibits. OF this there
can scarcely be a doubt. When the
magnitude and marvellous development
OF the agricultural interests of this
country are considered, and it is noted
how great is the enthusiasm through
out the agricultural states over the eX-
position, and how great is the atten-
tention given to the subject by the ex-
position management, no other conclu-
sion is possible. In all probability the
exhibition will be an astonishing revel-
alton not only to foreigners, but to very
many Americans, by reason of its
magnitude and evidences of the superb
GRITTY of the agricultural interests of
this country and OF their wonderful
progress as indicated by improved
methods and better products.
No other interest will surpass the
agricultural in the benefit it will reap
from its own exhibit at Chicago. The
department of agriculture at Washing
ton will make q scientific demOnstra-
sion of methods, going into details and
showing how and why the best results
are attained. An agricultural con-
gress, with series of lectures and dis
cussions, will be held at which all
branches of agricultural industry will
be considered by men who have devot-
ed their lives to study and experiment
in them. They will be most valuable
adjuncts to the general agricultural
exhibit, which will comprise the best
products and means of production.
gathered from every quarter This
will be OF inestimable value in the way
Of comparison and education.

A Startling Fall.

A writer in newspaper called Lana

in Jamaica, suddenly a moving mass
dropped from the cedar roof above on
the table near where he was standing.
which he found. on examination to be
the body of large female scorpion,
from which ran away in every direc-
ton thirty-eight young scorpions.
about one-fourth of an inch in length.
The mother scorpion lay dying. and
soon ended her feeble struggle, as the
whole of her back had been eaten Out
by her own offspring, leaving but the
thin outer shell. She had chung to the
shingles until, death approaching, she
had dropped, to expire in a few mo-
ments. and thus gave up her life 70,
her young.
