It's sometimes said patent medicines

ter this idea. "The people," we're told,

edge, but a cure, and the medicine that
cures is the medicine for the sick. DIR.

it, no "if'' nor possibly" 1t says-"I

hear of it when it does, because they

EARLY TRACES OF MAN.

He Existed in Denmark and Scandi-
navia Seven Thousand Years
Ago.
When was man first placed on earth?
No one can answer that question:
Hugh Miller says that mans habit OF
burying his dead out of sight makes it
very easy to be mistaken on that
point; for, because of burial, men's
bones may be found among the ami
mails that have lain in the earth for
ages. There is one thing, however,
that gives us an inkling OF when he
came. Certain tools, that only man
could have made, have been found
buried in caves, in peat beds, and in
the bottom of lakes. Often these are
covered by layers of rock; and, by
calculating how long it took to make
the layers, IL guess can be made as to
when the tools were put there. Still,
1T Is only guess, and no one prctends
to regard the question as settled be-
cause under some conditions the lay
crs would be made much faster than
under others. But the bones OF certain
animals, the mammoth and other
great creatures OF that time, which
have long since died, have been found
with these tools, writes Theresa Croft
ton in st. Nicholus. BY calculating
IN what ages these animals lived, and
how long 1T takes a race of animals to
die out, a surer result can be arrived
ut. In a cave in England, buried I'M
der limestone layer from one to fiji
teen inches thick, tools have been
found mingled with the bones of ele-
plants, tigers, rhinoceroses, and
hyenas, which roamed over that
country thousands and thousands of
years ago. The peat bogs of what is
now Denmark and Scandinavia are
filled with stone tools. Some have
been found in beds of gravel, underly-
ing peat which is certainly 1000 years
Old. This seems to show that man
must have dwelt on earth at least as
many years ago

HOW THE TURKS SMOKE.
Gen. Lew Wallace Chats About Eat
ing and Smoking of the OrientaIs

Gen. Lew Wallace Chats About Eat
ing and Smoking of the Orientals,
An enthusiast on the subject of fine
tobacco is Gen. Lew Wallace, the auth
or of "Ben Hur" and ex-Minister to
Turkey. a Mail and Expressman
not longago had chat with him about
tobacco and the kind the Orientals
smoked. He said:
= '"rhe Turks smoke the purest tobac-
CO. generally in the form of cigarettes
They get their cigarettes from SMYRNA.
The cigarette paper is not doctcred
with creosote, and the tobacco is pure
and sweet. They have n knack OF us
ing tobacco in the Orient which as vet
has not been learned in this country.
Nearly everybody smokes in Turkey.
The women OF the harem are inveter-
ate cigarette smokers, and they do not
seem to grow less beautiful from the
use OF the weed. They have also n
pipe called the nargileh, which is a
large bowl with many tubes to it. A
number OF women sit around and
smoke and gossip.
my w iiOb nttNe any UDllllnR
parties, as the women in this country.
and so much OF their small talk is
done around the nargileh. In the cafes
the customers smoke, and, in fact, an
entertainments OF any kind would be
incomplete without the soothing chi
bouque. The deleterious effect of
tobacco is not noticeable in Turkey.
l confess cannot smoke the cigarettes
made in this country
Are the Turks great eaters?'
"Ihey live well. Nearly all of them
have French cooks, especially the
wealthy who live in cities. Some OF
the dishes cooked by native Turks are
very palatable. L once ate a regular
turkish dinner and enjoyed it very
much. Many OF tine dishes had I'M
prounceable names and were mixed,
but they We're peculiarly seductive to
taste. Other dishes, OF course, were
not SO pleasant to the palate"

AMONG the principal things which
operate to lengthen out the period OF
effective human life nowadays are
better food supplies than our fore
fathers had-gained through the APP
plication OF scientific methods to food
production-better cooking; more
general distribution OF better kinds OF
clothing better sanitation in overy
form; better observance OF the laws
OF health and hygiene; better methods
and appliances for preserving and re-
storing health, and better everything
upon which life depends, and in the
proper use OF which it is easily and
surely prolonged.

THE camp meeting was originally
designed to carry the gospel into the
highways and hedges and to reach
districts remote from churches. In
time it became popular resort at
tracing crowds that were drawn by
curiosity and idle pleasure. A few
enjoyed the religious fervor and en-
thusiasm which the camp meeting was
sure to kindle. Some who came to
scoff stayed to pray. Others received
no particular spiritual benefit but the
week in the open air with respectable
company tended to health as well as
morality.

IT has been regretfully remarked by
many public spirited, thoughtful
Americans that as the country grew
older, as in the progress of time the
impressive events OF the revolutionary
period grew less distinct and as new
people from foreign lands came here
in such great numbers as to exert u
passive, though powerful, influence
with regard to our customs and habits,
the patriotic. enthusiastic observance
OF tho national anniversary, indepcn-
dence day, which formerly was so
,common-almost universal--has ceas-
cd to be conspicuous.

IT is one Of the sad features OF our
time that the pursuit OF wealth crowds
out in the minds of our citizens, n
proper regard for and a Just discharge
Of the whole duty OF American citi-
zenship. They who strive for wealth
do not interest themselves in the
affairs OF state, in politics. in the ad-
ministration OF government, except to
the extent OF subscribing their person
al pecuniary interests. Government,
with such people simply means ma
chine for enacting laws that will en-
able Thorn to pile up money. And be-
yond that they have no concern for it.
With all the higher. worthier and
robler purposes of government they
are not in special sympathy. They
allow politics to drift as lit may. feel
ing that they will be able. in any
event, to utilize things for their one
paramount object-the accumulation
OF wealth.

WHILE the number OF institutions in
Great Britain and Ireland classed rs
universities is only 10. the United
States has no fewer than 81 such insti-
buttons scattered all over the country.
Many states and religious bodies. and
even private individuals, provide these
with abundant endowments for carry
ing on the work of education. Ok
ford and Cambridge have been for
nearly five centuries the great and al
most exclusive centers Of learning pa
tronized by the crown and aristocracy
OF England. Men are sent there MS
much for the social associations which
they give them for life as for what
they learn. To be in Oxford or Cam
bridge is to be trained from youth up
ward in the very choicest circles of
English society. Americans, on the
other hand, are more practical in Sc
lections OF schools and careless for
these social attractions than for giving
young men . sound and substantial ed
ucation-
