A Bone Eater.
Veil. that | can't say"

There was an account recently given
here. says the n. Y. Sun, of man
who crunc''es the shells of the boiled
eggs that ho takes Mt breakfast. There
is another man in town who eats
bones. and who is known among his
friends as the great American bone
eater" He is scientist. and when a
question was put TO him he said: Il
do not follow this habit for any fan-
tastic reason. | believe that the or
ganic chemical clements found in
bones. such as phosphate and carbon

The Stone Ave.

From the tools that are found in
these lake-dwellings in the caves. and
in peat beds, we suppose that there
were distinct periods in the life Of
mankind: First came the Stone Age,
in which tools and sons were made
of stone; second. the Bronze Age in
which they were of bronze: and third, 3,
the Iron Age. i'll which iron implc-
ments appear.
We must remember that when the
first men lived they hHd no tools to
work with. nor weapons with WHICH TO
battle against Wild beasts. When
thrown upon their own resources to
defend themselves. they probably
threw stones. | think small boys
first instinct in fighting is to throw
things. They soon found that sharp
stones were most effective. so they be-
gan 10 rub them together to sharpen
them. They no1t put pointed stones
in the ends of sticks aud made spears
To cut up the flesh nf animals. they
made stone knives. They discovered
the use Of the bow and arrow. for some
of the sharpeurd stones that are found
must certainly have been arrow-heads.
They made hammers. ani axes. and
chisels of stone. All these were CHIP
ped so rs TO give them cutting edge.
They made gr"at stone mortars and
pestles for grinding corn. At first
there was little ornaments. but Toward
the last of the Stone Age tie knives
had carved bone handles, and even
necklaces are found OF roughly carved
amber beads.
They had no combs nor pins nor
needles nor thread in the earliest
times. But they soon found out that
they could fastcn things together with
the fibers or plants. or with thongs
made from the skins of animals. They
made implements of horn which served
for needles. They early discovered
the use of lire. Maybe men first got
fire from Il volcano. or they may have
dropped or struck one piece of flint
on another ani have seer the spark.
1t may be that it set something on fire
and they felt the eifcct-the warmth.

this makes him laborer The in

HOW SWEOES MOURN.
No Complaint, No Sign of Grief on the
Part OF Bereayed Ones.

1t is remarkable how foreigners DOM
ic.ed in this country still cling to their
native customs. This is especially
true when they are congrega;ed in
large numbers. The single German.
Frenchman or Norwegian who has
made his home in some portion of this
land of liberty may still adhere to his
oddities and habits of old, but he does
not meet with the necessary encourage
meat from his fellows, and probably
l!.,is that often ridicule takes the place
of The expected appreciation.
Last summer a tield-hand on Que of
thc farms in North Dakota was struck
by lightning and instantly killed The
proprietor of the farm notified the
parents of the unfortunate Swede of
their sous fate. They were an old
couple who owned and farmed one of
those quartcr-seetion tracts that Uncle
Sam gives away SO laviShly. They had
been in the country for many years.
their son was born here, aud vet, when
il came 10 the solemnity of burial. they
reverted at once TO the memories of
lhrir native land and its customs.
Tie parents did not even go to view
the body nor attend to its preparation
for the grave, says the Illustrated
-insertcan. Friends brought it home
in an ordinary farm wagon, and then,
instead of carrying it into the house.
placed the remains upon wide plank
resting on two upturned barrels in the
stable. Horses grew restive, rs they
always will when placed near corpse.
The cattle forgot to MUNICH their hay
and covered back in the stalls. show
ing their realization that something
unusual was happening. All this while
the dead boys parents were busy with
in dnors donning their best apparel; {;
tie aged mother even hunted up an old
hair trunk. from the depths of which
an odd and peculiar sort of miter was
taken. decorated with ribbons of all
possible and impossible colors This
she solemnly placed upon her head as
she had seen it done in the faraway
home, so long ago. near the North
Cape.
They then took chairs. side by side,
in their living-room and waited.
After awhile friends arrived. many
of them wearing odds and ends of
costume brought from over the ocean
scores of years ago.
Then all, excepting the parents adj
journed to the stable. collecting around
the body of the dead man. where re-
freshments were served, and an orca-
sion low. wailing song was chanteh.
After this they proceeded to the burial
ground. ten miles away. and the last
sad rites were performed after the
same simple manner.
Strangest of all, TIE two beings most
interested still sat within doors. in
solemn silence. decorated with their
quaint relics of dress. They declined
to accompany the funeral cortcge, and
hours afterward. when the mOurners
and friends had returned. were sitting
immovable as though spellbound. Sup
per for the entire assemblage conclu,l-
ed this rather ghostly performance,
but the old people who had lost their
boy still sat silently as before, without
an expression of complaint or plea for
sympathy. Was this lack of feeling
or stoicism?

Give the Rich Man q Chance.

There are some things which rich
man can not do. even with money. for
instance. he can not satisfy the claims
OF all his poor relations, because their
Imagination exaggerates both their
needs and the power of money to salts
fy them. Give TO every one just what
he asks. and gifts very soon become a
dangerous means Of support. Industry
and homes; labor produce equable de-
sires as well as contented spirit. The
rich by their gifts often generate povcr-
ty; and in time render those they help
utterly helpless TO aid themselves. This
is true when the time of failure and
bankruptcy comes.
One or two generous rich men In n
church may dwarf the benevolent spirit
OF 500 or 900 people who worship in
that congregation. If there is an or
gan to buy. the two rich men give two
thirds of the money; is the preacher to
pay. tue people contribute what they
think is tlcir share and the rich men
pay the balance, if that amounts TO half
the claim. If a new church is to ba
built at cost of s25 0O0 tho two men
agree to give 50 for every 81 that The

These rich men arc permitted to

church is the only one hose members

They are rather like brave men whom

courageously labor for his interests.
LAWYERS are like actors. As they play
their parts, they are the parts they
play. Otherwise they make but small
progress. The great lawyer identifies
himself with his clients partner in
the enterprise entrusted to him. He
does not sell his energies for his fee,
like the mercenary, but he pants for
the victory because its glory is his as
well as the mans for whom he works.
Lawyers are at once the most con.
sentative and the bravest class in the
community. They love precedent, be
cause they appreciate its value in
their contests. Attic same time, they
are so constantly hedged about By
the privileges and immunities OF tneii
profession in court that they learn to
express their views boldly and with
out fear of the consequences. Graf
