EARLY TRACES OF MAN.

When was man first placed on earth?
No one can answer 'i-at 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, mems bones
may be found among the animals 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
Often these are covered by layers of
rock; aud, by calculating how long it
took to make the layers. a guess can be
made as to when the tools were put
there Still, it is only guess, and no
one pretends to regard the question as
settled. because under some conditions
the layers 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
Crofton in st. Nicholas BY calculat-
ing in what ages these animals lived,
and how long it takes q race of ami
mails to die out, surer result can be
arrived ut. In cave in England, bur-
led under limestone layer from one to
fifteen inches thick, tools have been
found mingled with the bones of ele-
plants. tigers, rhinooeroses and hye-
mas, which roamed over that country
thousands and thousands Of years ago.
The peat bogs of what is now Denmark
and Scandinavia are filed with stone
tools Some have been found in beds
of gravel. underlying peat which is
certainly seven thousand years old.
This seems to show that man must
have dwelt on earth at least as many

did the professor give that speech that
the worthy doctor knew it all by heart

Here is an incident from the South

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. u am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter | was on trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss, where got well

with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until had
to seek relief. l consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottles of German Syrup. l
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, l was
entirely clear Of the Cough that had

all its bad effects. l felt tip-top and

The Friend for June is out. One
of the leading editorials is headed
"A Period of Transition" and at
tempts to deal Hawaii a blow in the
face from the Reform party stand
point. We have much respect for
the religious teachings of the Friend,
but have little sympathy with some
of Its political utterances. Lately
we have had entirely too much of
partisan politics magnified into ma
tlonal movements by such papers. 1t
is quite true Hawaii is in "a period
Of transition" but it is a transition
from political bossism to political
freedom, as represented by the labor
ing people of this Kingdom. OF
political revolutions Hawaii is hear
lily tired. We have gone through two
of these gotten up by the alleged pat,
riots of both sides. 1t has already
become a street saying that the peo-
pie are thoroughly tired of the poll
ticians of both sides, and especially
of those who carry plan of saliva
ton in one hand and political threat
in the other. Such gentlemen have
cost the commercial aud industrial
interests of the country too much in
the past TO be trusted in the future.
Opium is another bugbear of our
contemt orary. The BULLETIN has
already taken a stand for the licens-
ing of opium. We have, therefore,
become target for the Friend. Pro-
hibition does not prohibit. This fact
has become a truism under missionary
rule. Given, ID law against the i'm
portatiou of opium and the country
is loaded with the drug, as it has
been in the past and as it is today.
The unfortunate thing about the fight
against opium is that our would be
reformers are beginning at the wrong
end.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1891.

The Government has at last sue
ceeded in burning many thousands
of dollars worth of private property,
through its own carelessness. Had
the Hawaiian Government provided
the proper precautions, through its
official servants, the fire of yesterday
would never have happened. The
contract for soldering certain lots of
leaky kerosene tins was given into
irresponsible hands with the disas-
trous result of yesterday morning.
1t makes no difference whether the
firm doing this work thought they
were safe or not. The fact is they
placed incompetent workirgmen in
charge, who succeeded in firing thous-
ands of dollars worth of valuable
property. Every man connected with
the responsibility of yesterdays fire
should be dismissed from office.
There was no occasion for the fire,
and consequently no excuse can be
offered for those Government officials
who allowed it to occur.
