that has never walked nor stood alone. Il
has a power Of grasping 10 some extent
and is used instinctively like a hand. The
great toe has certain independent work
ing, like a thumb, and the wrinkles of the
sole resemble those Of the palm. These
markings almost entirely disappear after
the pedal extremity has come TO be EN-.
ployed for purposes OF support and loco
motion.
The hands and feet of human being
are strikingly like those of the chimpan-
zee in conformation, while the gorilla's
resemblance to man in these respects Is
even more remarkable. The higher apes
have been classified as 'quadrumana, or
four handed, because their hind feet are
hand shaped; but this designation is very
improperly applied, because the apes pos
terror extremities are not really hands at
ALL They merely look like hands at the
first glance, whereas in fact they are but
feet adapted for climbing. The big toes
cannot be opposed to the other toes as
thumbs are to the fingers, but simply act
pincerwise for the purpose of grasping.
Now, funnily enough, the Infants feet
have this same power of grasping pincer
fashion, and the action is performed in
precisely the same way. Advocates of evo-
lutionary theories take this to signify that
the human foot was originally utilized for
trees also before the species was
so highly developed as it is now. Also they
assert that the fact that the art of walking
erect is learned by the child with such diff
ficulty proves that the race has only &C
quired it recently. "-Washington Star.

BUSINESS MEETING.
Business Men Organized for the Protec-
ton of all Honest People.

The business men of Santa Fe met last
evening in the Exchange hotel and heard
from r. G. Rider complete explanation
in detail OF the advantages which result
from organizing under the protective plan
provided by "The Merchants Mercantile
agency, of Chicago, H." The Santa Fe,
n. NJ. subscribers branch was then Or
gained, the following gentlemen being
elected the officers: S. Wedeles, presi-
dent; H. B. Cartwright, vice president;
G. L. Bishop, secretary; A. 7. Griggs,
Treasurer.
Executive Board-B. Seligman, s. S.
Beatty, G. M. Dreamer, &. Rivenburg,
j. g. Schumann.
Thirteen firms signed the agreement,
afterward formulated into the consttu-
ton and bylaws, pledging themselves to
abide by the same for one year. A fine
is the penalty fixed for violating the
clause in the constitution which provides
that no member of this branch organiza-
ton shall give credit to person who does
not by some honorable means adjust his
Indebtedness to all other subscribers. 1t
is carefully provided that no person shall
be referred to the members of this or any
other branch organization of "The Mer-
chants Mercantile agency" as owing a
subscriber until such person has been
given full and fair opportunity to adj
Just his obligations.
This agency is an incorporated institu-
ton, duly authorized to do business
throughout the United States. The sys-
tenn wherever it has been put into opera
ton has been found to be full of benefit tc
everybody except to the thoroughly dis
honest man, the so-called "dead-beat,'
who has made up his mind to live on
other people. :,
This system marks new era in thu
history of credit. 1t means that the hon
est man shall not be pulled down to thu
level of the dishonest vandal that con
certed action must drive out the "dea'
beat Z" altogether; that thousands OF mer
chants will be saved from ruin, and tn
people from paying high tax for gettin
goods on credit.

Supt. S. NJ. Cart, of Dawes Institute,
which is now the official title of the In

turned yesterday from weeks visit to
the Jicarilla Apache reservation in Rio

eleven boys for the school, which number
he brought to Santa Fe yesterday. Dawes
Institute now contains eighty-seven chill
dren, consisting of thirtyive Jicarilla
Apaches, eleven San Carlos Apaches, five
