Lady Wortfey's Mistake.

In making pleasant advances toward
strangers, one should always be pre-
pared for a surprise. 1t often happens
that appearances betray one INTO a
wrong opinion. A story is told of a
startling experience of Lady Emme-
line Stuart Wortley in Gorhambury.
This English lady was driving along
a country road, when a gate was
opened for her by a small country lad.
She gave him a small coin and a pleas
ant smile, and said:
I'm sure YOU are not a Hertfordshire
boy, because you are SO polite"
"Thee'rt a liar, cause be-" was the
convincing reply.

New Theory Advanced to Support
DarWiniSm
DIR. Louis Robinson has discovered
what he believes to be new and i'm

wlnlan theory of the descent of man,
and sets it forth in the Nineteenth
Century. He stars from mans in
ability to swim naturally and instinct
lively as do quadrupeds. Men have
have very early learned to cross
streams by swimming. Savages at the
present time are swimmers, and so
must our ancestors have been from
the remote past. In spite of this fact
we have no hereditary knowledge of
swimming. We walk instinctiyely and
climb, but before we can sustain our
selves in the water we must acquire
the ability so to do by practice. Other
animals can swim the moment they
are thrown into the water, but let a
man or child fall into a stream
and he Immediately throws his hands
above his head as if grasping for
support, and sinks. Dr. Robinson
finds in this human inability to swim
strong evidence that we are descend
ed from beings whose habits were
arboreal, and whose home and refuge
from danger was in the trees When
thrown into an unfamiliar element
like water the instincts of our ances-
tors prompt us to use the method of
escape from danger which they used,
and 50 we reach up for twig or
Il branch in order to climb to safety
Men do under such circumstances pre-

swims are those by which it walks or
runs; and in swimming it is only

A rabbit held in the hand will work
