ORIGIN OF TIE EAR.


Nature Made 10 Out or the Gill OF tnS
Fish Long Ages Ago.
When the fish came ashore, its water
breathing apparatus was no longer OF
any use TO IL, writes Prof. Henry
Drummond in McClure's Magazine. At
first 1t had to keep 1t on, for it took q
long time to perfect the air-breathing
apparatus which was to replace it.
But when this was ready the problem
was, what to do with the earlier organr
Nature Is exceedingly economical, and
could not throw all this mechanism
away. In fact Nature almost never
parts with any structure she has once
made. What she does is to change IL
Into something else. Conversely, Ma.
ture seldom makes anything new; her
method Of creation is to adapt some-
thing old. Now when Nature started
out to manufacture ears. she made
them out of the old breathing ap-
paratus. She saw that II water could
pass through hole in the neck, sound
could pass likewise, and she set to
work upon the highest up Of the FIVE
gill-slits and slowly elaborated it into
q hearing organ.
There never had been an external
ear in the world till this was done, or
any good ear at all. Creatures which
live in water do not seem to use hear
Ing much. and the sound waves in
fishes are simply conveyed through
the walls OF the head to the internal
sar without any definite mechanism.
But as soon as land life began owing
10 the changed medium through which
sound waves must now be propogated,
more delicate instrument was re-
luired. And hence one of the first,
things attended to was the construc-

An oppossum,s sulcide.

One Of the oppossums at the Central
menagerie, New York, was found dead
in his cage the other morning. His
tail made circle around his neck and
was caught between the wire meshes
of the cage. To Keeper McGniness,
who found the animal hanging like a
little fur ball, it was a clear case of sui
eide. The oppossums were in cage
near that Of the wildcats. and one OF
these animals was found lying dead
upon the floor of his den. The eat had
died during the night In an unacconnta-
BILE manner. IL was thought that il
had choxed to death while attempting
10 swallow bone. Director Smith is
quite certain that the oppossum com
mitted suicide, for its tail had first been
coiled about its neck and then thrust
between the wire meshes and caught
by the weight of the body The bodies
will be stuffed and placed on exhibi.
ton in the museum of natural history.

Solid Truth.

What dear queer things men are
They are all shouting against hoops
and erinolines, just as they shouted
against bustles, just as they shouted
against corsets and tailormade tight
ness, just as they shouted against
the decollete gown, and, we'll, every
thing we have had in the way of
wear. But just let a woman dress
in defiance of the prevailing mode,
whatever that mode may dictate,
and the men of her own family will
be the first to protest. If the little
ladies who remember the hoops
would only tell the truth, they would
say that if, in the time when the
hoops were worn, woman appeared
without them and in consequent
scant and slimsy skirts, her husband,
brother, admirer, or whoever the
man might be who felt privileged to
criticise her, would shout, DO go
and dress yourself! You look ridicu-
lous. Our Grange Homes.

There is no hospitality in display
beyond our means. And this de
ceives no one, least of all our friends,
who are likely to be acquainted with
our means, and are likely also, if
sensible persons, to be embarrassed
by our extravaganza, rather than
complimented by it. If we would be
true host we must live true lives day
by day, SO that we shall not be
ashamed to set plate at our table
for the passing guest. We must, in
the homely old phrase that has-such
ring of true hospitality about it,
make our friends at home
In order to do this we need not set
up gorgeous table and deck out our
house in rivalry to their own but re-
ceive them without formality or
show, but with that true hospitality
of the heart which is appreciated by
the genuine and true Even if we
have only dinner of herbs to offer

Too Many Here Now.

There is a rush of immigrants for
this country. Several thousands are
now on the ocean headed for this
port. The reason for the rush is
that the new immigration law went
into effect May 3. The steerage pas
sengers on all steamships leaving all
foreign ports on and after May 3 are
to be subjected to a new system OF
questions on their arrival and will
come under the control of the new
Board of Inspectors. To forestall
this many have taken passage and
they will be here in swarms next
week. Ten thousand Italians left
Marseilles on eleven steamships,
which have just sailed from that
port. The Belgravia is bringing
400. There are 1900 more round
from Bremen, and there is migration
from other ports equally as large.

Third-Class Wool.

An important ruling, affecting the
duties on wool, was embodied in the
instructions addressed by Acting
Secretary Hamil, of the Treasury
Department to the Collector of Gus
toms at New York May 2 The col
lector was directed to refund certain
importers excess duty exacted on
third-class wool, in accordance with
the decision of the Circuit Court of
Appeals at New York. The result
will be that one-half of the duty ex
acted will be refunded. These in
structions will be applied generally
to all pending cases, and will form "a
rule for the future guidance of col
lectors.

What to Wear,

A woman who weighs $50 pounds
or more should let novelties in the
dress alone and avoid extremes as
she would the plague.
Sleeves are running to extremes.
The wider they are, and the farther
they can project out from the shoul-
ders, the better the wearer seems to
like it.
All hat and bonnet crowns are
low. Some brims are much longer
at the back than any yet used and
something like an old-fashioned
"cape" is at the back of what may
be called hat or bonnet.
Some of the best dressmakers still
believe that the present expanse of
skirt will be disposed of by looping
it up to show an underskirt, and that
by winter we may see return of
long draperies and underskirts.
The problem of storing wide
sleeved and wide skirted dresses is
already a serious one. 1t is hard
enough to keep sleeves stiff while
wearing them, but what is to be done
when bodices are crowded into mar
row closets?
A pretty wash dress for young
lady is a delicate pink gingham,
made with a ribbon collar and a
straight, gathered skirt with five
graduated tucks around the bottom,
which, when laundered, hold the
skirt out very stiffy.

Children and Butter.

A physician of experience writes:
Cod liver oil costs more than butter,
and it is besides often not resorted
to until too late Instead of restrict
ing child's consumption of butter,
l would encourage it. Let the limit
be the power of digestion and the
tendency to biliousness. Most chill
dren may be allowed to follow their
own inclinations and will not take
more than is good for them. The
butter should be the best and taken
cold. Bread, dry toast, biscuits, po-
tatoes and rice are good vehicles.
Children well supplied with butter
feel the cold less than others and re-
sist the influenza better They do
not "catch cold" so easily. In speak
ing of children l by no means intend
to exclude other ages, especially
young adults.

Great Chinese Frauds.

Collector of Port Lotan at Port
land May finished the examination
OF the certificates of the 612 Chinese
who arrived on the steamer Danube
from Victoria Only four have been
allowed to land, and it is probable
that not more than one hundred out
of the entire number will be per-
mitted to enter this country Col
lector Lotan has discovered 1888 GER
tificates which bear unmistakable
evidence of fraud, and, in conse-
quence, has telegraphed the Treas
ury Department at Washington for
instructions. Pending instructions
from the department no more Chi
nese will be landed.
While the evidence at present is
incomplete, it is said that most gi-
gantic combination to violate the ex-
clusion law has been unearthed and
sensational developments are looked
for Many of the Chinese certificates
are signed by reputable citizens of
this city, and in addition they bear
the seal of a notary public. A num-
Der of persons who acknowledge they
signed the certificates deny that they
swore to the same before notary.
