the fourth page of the GOLD LEAF this
week, will be found of interest and
value to our farmer friends While we
devote much space to other things,
with view to publishing something

Is our policy to give prominence to
such matters as Will be of material

be more valuable and acceptable than

affairs and discussing politics.

BABY AND EVOLUTION.
What the Furrovv Under the Nose rs
n Relic OF.
Nineteenth Century.

Nineteenth Century.
Below the nose runs a furrow parting the
upper lip. In the faces of babies and
children this ffurrow Is very noticeable.
From the evolutionists point Of view 1t
is one of the most remarkable characters
of the face. 1t tends to become obsolete
in Old age and tx is not seen among the
Catarhine monkeys. Among the Platy-
rhines 1t is but feebly developed, but In
Lemurs ii is IN a more pronounced state
there is a de -essed septum to which the
two side pieces are joined-the upper hip.
in fact, is nearly split In two. but held to-
the Marsupialia and Rodentia the lip is
practically in two pieces and each piece
Is capable of being moved separately. This
is the "harelip" and its method of use
may well be noticed in a hare or a rabbit
when eating.
The furrow. therefore. in a child's lip
points TO this: That our ancestors pos
sessed. not a single upper lip. as We do
now. but two upper lips, one beneath each
nostril. both capable of independent move
ment. In the course Of time these two
lips have, owing to the nonrequirenent OF
independent movement, grown together TO
form the single lip which W. now possess,
but the line Of junction is not perfect. and
so the furrow results, and sometimes there
is a distinct scar down the middle OF the
furrow.
The possession OF this furrowed upper lip
by children Is one of the strongest pieces
of evidence against the descent OF man from
any Catarhine and in favor OF his descent
from Platyrhines or from Lemurs through
the Intervention of Platyrhine-iike ances-
tors. of which there are no exact living
representatives

TONED BY THE EMPEROR.
Great Liberal Victory Of the Clericals

ALLEGED Inferior American Oil.

BUDA-PESTH, Dec. 10.-There was a
scene of unparalleled excitement in the
Reichstag to-day when DR.. Wekerle the
Hungarian Prime Minister, announced that
the King of Hungary emperor Francis
Joseph had given his sanction to the
ecclesiastical bills. The members rose in
a body and cheered for several minutes.
The house rapidly emptied and the men,
bers pressed around and congratulated DIR.

garian Minister of the Interior. who had
gone to the lobbies. The Liberals have the
highest hopes that the firm position they
have maintained on the ecclesiastical meas
ures will enable them to carry out further
reforms. They have arranged to hold a
mass meeting on Thursday. On the even
ing Of that day there will be a torch-light
procession and the city will be illuminated
in honor of the victory they have won.
The ecclesiastical bills to which the royal
sanction has been given include measures
legaliZing civil marriages, allowing the con-
version of Christians to Judaism, granting
religious liberty to Hebrews and removing
the restrictions with regard TO the children
of mixed marriages. In fact, the bills pro-
vide for complete religious freedom in Hun
gary. All the measures, with the exception
of that i'm regard to the children of mixed
marriages, were bitterly opposed by the
Clericals. Not only the Roman Catholics.
but the Greek orthodox bishops fought
against the adoption of the measures. AT
one time it looked as though the opposition
would win. The House of Magnates re-
jected one of the measures. Certain con-
~cessions were made by the government
after a ministerial crisis had been success
fully overcome, and now the Liberals have
secured a great parliamentary victory, the
politico-religious effects of which will be
far reaching.

EROSION OF FARM LANDS.
What the Agricultural Department
Says ON the Subject.

WASHINGTON. Dec. W.-The means Of
preventing erosion or washing of agricul-
tural lands and of retaining them are set
out In a bulletin issued by the Agricultural
Department The excessive erosion, it Is
shown, may be prevented and the already
quilted fields recovered from washing by
chemical means in the application Of man
ures and fertilizers, and the accumulation
of organic matter. by means OF cultivation
and under declinage, by planting trees
which act mechanically TO prevent wash
ing and by growth of grass and similar
vegetation. The surface washing of cult
waited fields, especially those naturally de-
ficient in lime, can be greatly diminished
by the free application OF lime. The most
important feature In the recover of waste
fields, 1t Is cited, is the Incorporation Of
organic matter of some kind in the soil.
Thorough understanding OF fields with tile
drains, carrying CT the water CT an or
binary rainfall Without any surface ero-
sion, Is very effective, but expensive.
Where there Is a considerable slope in the
land a more efficient and less expensive
method Is the terracing Of fields so as to
provide for level steps on which the water
ran rest and be absorbed. Ground in the
hill country unfit for agriculture use
should be set and kept in forest, not only
to make 1t produce a timber crop. but also
10 prevent the erosion which finally be-
comes dangerous to the lower valley lands.

Failure of One Bank at st. Johns
Causes the Closing of Others.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 1O.-The CONNER
cial Bank of Newfoundland. having it's
headquarters in this city, suspended pay
ment this morning, owing to the failure of
several of the largest fish exporting houses
TO respond to their liabilities to the bank.
This has involved other banks, and has
crippled some Of the largest concerns here.
Four of them have closed their premises and
others will close tomorrow. The small de-
p~ositors are demanding gold from the
Union and savings banks, and the gold
reserve is being steadily drained. If they
are able to meet the run, everything is
safe. But the chief danger is the difficulty
in getting more gold into the country. At
present the people are very peaceful and
seem unable to appreciate the gravity of
the situation. Business men of all classes
are trying to effect an arrangement with
London bankers or with Canadian concerns,
which will be urged to extend business to
this center.
The total number Of failures to-day was
five, in addition to that of the Commercial
Bank of Newfoundland The failed firms
are indebted to the Commercial Bank.
Their liabilities cannot be ascertained, but
must amount to several millions of dol
lars. 1t will be impossible to revive the
Commercial Bank. but by careful financing
the depositors and noteholders NAV get a
return of 80 per cent. on their holdings.

Aims Of the Rapidly Growing Party
I'm Germany.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-The aims. OF the
great and rapidly growing agrarian party
In Germany are clearly defined In a set OF
resolutions passed by a special committee,
last month. and transmitted to the State
Department by United States Consul-gen-
eYal DeKay, at Berlin These are of grave
import to the United States, not solely
from the direct effect on our industries to
be expected from their attainment, but
also because this great German party,
which, according to the sConsul-general, is
basing great hopes on the new Chancellor,
IS seeking to work out principles that have
been embodied In our own political plat
FORMS and that have been the subjects of
1ong-continued strife in Congress. Some OF
these touch the pressing issue of uniform
international understanding international
ratios of coinage-as OF primary impor-
lance to agriculture: others relate to the
establishment of national ~granaries kin
in some respects, to our alliance project.
But of immediate interest to the United
States. which uses so much foreign capital.
IS a proposition to establish a special CEN
porship oyer the acceptance Of public loans
offered to foreigners. and another submits
the entire tariff system TO a new range
ment to benefit International production.
Something like our anti-option bill Is sug-
gested by a demand for "a thorough re-
form OF the grain exchanges on the basis
of actual business in real articles" The
resolutions. as a whole. embody in a small
compass a surprisingly large number OF
what have been regarded as purely Ameri-
ran ideas.
