The busy and obliging clerk told all
about the styles that obtained In
feathers for women's hats. The woman
who inquired sat there listening intent

Beads are an easy resort for fixing

Crystal beads are o wise innovation.

As the grocer saw him enter the store
with quick, angry step, he knew he had
no ordinary customer to deal with. The
man strobe over to the counter, threw
down a basket he had been carrying and

basket, but slammed down the I'D the next
moment and moved nearer the door, where
he could catch the fresh air. In a yellow
bowl inside the basket were half dozen
cracked eggs. Nothing but a deep sense

Darwin,s Missing links.

One Of the clief objections to the theory
OF evolution which WAS especially LAID
stress upon some thirty years ago was tn,
impossDility Of producing at chat time d
series Of intermediate links" TO connect
the now existing animals and plants with
their presumed ancestors from former geo
logical epochs. To meet the objection
Darwin had TO devote a special chapter IL
his great work to the imperfection Of the
geological record and to insist both upon
its fragmentary character and our imper
feet knowledge Of what it contains
The recent progress Of both geology and
paleOnfolOgy renders such explanations al.
most superiluOus Geology, aided by the
deep sea explorations, has come to better
comprehension Of the mechanism Of sedi
ments, and it knows what it may expect
to find in the rocky archives of the earth
and what it may not; and, on the other
side, the discovery Of the missing links be
tween past and present has been going on
OF late with such a rapidity as has out
stripped the most sanguine expectations.
Our museums already contain whole
series OF fossil organisms which almost
step by step illustrate the slow evolution
OF large divisions Of both animals and
plants; our present mammals already have
been connected by intermediary forms wlsh
many Of their Tertiary ancestors, and the
