Exc. 1t may, indeed. almost be said that
at this time the parish priests had it all
their own way; and / am afraid that
these clergy we're none the better for
their prosperity; rather that their riches
had done them harm in more ways than
one.
Soon the fashion began of founding
new monasteries The cry was raised
that only by the revival of the stricter
religious life of the cloister could the
priests and people be reformed. The
tide turned against the seculars. The
monasteries rapidly became wealthy cor.
porations, enriched by lands and manors.
In many instances the ownership of
these manors carried with it the patron.
age OF the churches upon those manors
i. e., the advowsons of many parishes
passed into the hands of the abbeys and
priories. Then we began to hear of
very odious form of trading in these
benefces. The rectors we're in many
cases compelled to pay an annual rent or
pension to the monastery, the compact
being made with the incumbent condi-
tionally upon his being admitted to his
cure. Protests we're made against these
81 roniacal bargains. and councils legis-
lated against them, but it still went on.

ERRORS ABOUT EVOLUTION.

The popular belief concerning evolu-
ton is that person named Darwin
wrote book with the object of proving
that men were the descendants of mon
keys. Mr.. John B. Martin of Martins
Bank, London, relates an anecdote con-
corning a customer of the bank who
insisted upon removing his account be-
cause he had observed that one of the
partners in the bank had attended OAR
wins funeral. Most assuredly this per-
son must have supposed that Darwin
had injured the human race by the
shocking discovery that men and mon
keys we're such near relativesl
Today everybody talks.about evolution
rs if it we're someting'which had been
suddenly and recently discovered. Like
electricity, the bacilli of consumption
and typhoid fever woman's rights, or the
tariff question. it appears to have at
tracted the attention of the whole world,
from Mr.. Gladstone to prof" Garner,
the latter gentleman having, according
to newspaper report, kindly conde-
scended so explain that he did not agree
with Darwin that mans predecessors
were monkeys.
Everybody believes that he knows all
about evolution, and many people dis.
cuss it in much the same way as they do
the merits of books which they have not
read or the fighting CAPACITY of Corbett
and Jackson. Everybody is aware, in a
s)rt of unconscious way, that the whole
theory was invented by the late MIR. Oar
win and systematized by Mr.. Spencer,
the prevalent impression being that we
are all descended from men with tails,
who we're the final offspring-a sort Of
edition de luxe-of the gorilla or the
chimpanzee.
Practically every part Of this program
is delusion. Mr.. Darwin no more in
vented evolution than Mr.. Edison in
vented electricity. We are no more de-
scended from men with tails than we are
descended from the Manx cat, which
has no tail. and our relationship to the
gorilla is not nearer than a fiftieth cous-
inship, and is far more remote than that
existing between the cat and the tiger.

Rules Of Introductions.

When introductions are made it is
sometimes very perplexing TO the un-
initiated TO know just what To do in
the matter OF handshaking. For the
benefit Of the uniformed, then, these
rules are giyon:
A lady never extends her hand to a
man whose acquaintance she is maxi
ing. She may or may not shake
hands with II lady who 10 introduced,
but she must not give her hand to a
strange man. A bow is the elegant
form Of ealutation A cultivated
woman will not shake hands with apy

apects and admires him. A gentle

An exchange says that a young man
wrote to an editor to know how to be

The formula is simple and certain and
we give it: Save your income; don't
invest your savings in anything that
will build up the country, but lend

can obtain; grind the needy when
evor the occasion requires; never
make a donation to anything;
never be- hoepitable; always remem-
