Noting has its analogy throughout
the animal kingdom. We indeed mott
invisibly, are continuously shedding our
scales, but there are some animals that
get through this process even more quick
~ than do birds-as. for instance, the
shedding Of the skin as Il whole by the
newt, eft and snake.
Sir james Pagct has noted that some
people have a few extra long hairs grow
ing ont from the general mass Of the
eyebrows. The few long hairs are repre-
sentatives of d permanent condition in
the chimpanZce and some balloons. They
grow out separately from the general
hairy mass over the supcrciliary ridges.
Darwin notes as ii significant fact that
the palms of the hands and the soles OF
the feet of man are quite naked of hairs,
like the inferior surfaces Of al four c.:-
tremitics in most of the lower animals.
Something about the ear: The lobule
of the ear is peculiar to man. There is.
however, a rudiment of it in the gorilla.
Happy gorilla-and man,
About the brain of man and apes: The
whole comparison is one of degree, and
in the case of the bushman's brain with
that of a well developed ape the com
parison becomes nearly equal In truth,
there are no specific distinctions between
the brain of the ape and that of man.

TRAPPING AN AUDIENCE.
How an Eccentric Lecturer Got His Men
md Then Pounded Them.

md Then Pounded Them
some years ago an eccentric genius,
the Rev. Thomas p. Hunt, used to give
temperance lectures. One night he an
nounccd that he would lecture at Il GER
tain Pennsylvania town. Now, temper
ance was not i'll favor among the male
portion of that burg.
The women, however, were all for the
pledge" and consequently on Hunts
hrst visit not man showed himself.
The benches were pretty we'll filled with
women, though, and Hunt commenced.
But instead of temperance he took them
to task about the vanitics of dress, etc.
They Wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. Thcy-the sleeves-caughti it, then
the tight lacings, and so on through the
whole catalogue of female follies but no
word about intemperance.
The ladies went homenearly mad told
their husbands about it and voted old
Hunt a regular humbug. He announced
he would lecture at the same place the
next night. Long before the time alp
pointed the people began to arrive, and
when Hunt hobbled down the aisle the
building was completely filled with men.
The old fellow looked about. chuckled
and said i'll Il low voice, Hogs, I've got
you now!'
The audience stared.
"Aha, hogs, I've got you now!' he re-
peated.
After the crowd had got quiet a little
the lecturer said:
Friends, you wanted to know what
meant by saying, Hogs, I've got you
now. and I'll tell you. Out west the
hogs run wild, and when folks get out
of meat they catch a young pig, put
strap under his body and hitch him to
young sapling that will just swing him
from the ground nicely. Of course he
sQueals and raises a rumpus, when all
the old hogs gather around to see what
is the matter, and then they shoot them
at their leisure. Last night hung pig
up. hurt it a little, and it squealed.
The old hogs have turned out tonight to
see the fun, and I'll roast YOU"
And so he did, pitching into their
,favorite vice with much evident relish
and gusto.-American Home Life.

Talmage WIS Thankful.

The following is told by Boniface De
Witt of the Riggs House:
DIR. Talnage was preaching at Belle
vile, n. j., some years ago, and ont
week he made up his mind to go into tho
pulpit the next Sunday without notes OF
memoranda of what he was going to saw.
He memoriZed his sermon and believed
he had it completely ut his tongues end.
SO Sunday night he went to the church
pretty we'll fortified with confidence.
In those days in that section of ,Jer
sey churches and hotels and many pri.
waite residences were equipped with pri.
waite gas machines, and the church where
Talmage was to hold forth had one too.
When he got into the pulpit after con.
Quoting the preliminary services all
right, he gave out his text Then he was
Mortified to find that he couldn't think of
Il thing to say. He repeated the text Il
second time, and yet his ideas failed to
come. He was in agony and began
slowly and impressively to announce his
text Il third time. AS he reached the
last word and the perspiration of dread
and shame was beginning to start, the
gas went out and plunged the place into
utter darkness. There was no other
means for lighting the ediiice, and when
it was announced that the gas machine
had broken down hopelcssly DR.. Tai.
mage pronounced the benediction. and
have heard him say that he never did SC
before or since with greater fervor or
thankfulness of spirit. ''-Washinrtou
