should rest in the little graveyard a

patiating with much zest and cloqucnco
on his horror of being inferred i'll Il damp

him near his favorite Alpine retreat-a
shelf cut in the hard rock, high up in the
pure, dry mountain air, where the nat

accomplished with us few of the painful

laughingly volunteered to provide CON

Il may perhaps be allowed to add that
through all the intervening years have
retained Il most vivid impression of the
enthusiasm with which Professor Tyn-

SHADES or BLACK SKIN.
AJourney From tho Land of Palefnces and
Bnck Again.

Journey From tho Land of Palef faces and
Back Again.
A familiar human example will make
this general muddliness and uncertainty
OF nature realizable to every one. If we
see negro in the streets of London, we
immediately recognize the broad differ
ence that marks him off from the com
mon mass OF white men by whom he is
surrounded. But that of course is only
because we take an individual instance.
We say quite Dramatically: "This man
is black, thick Tipped. flat nosed. 1 call
him negro. These other men are white,
thin Tipped, sharp nosed. call them Eu-
ropeans."
Quite SO. That is true relatively to
the small area and restricted number of
cases you have then and there examined.
But now suppose you go on to the Sou
dan and start from thence down the Nile
through Nubia to Alexandria. AT first
on your way you would SEQ few but
thoroughly negroid faces-black skins,
thick lips, fiat noses, etc., according to
sample. AS you moved northward into
Egypt, however, you would soon begin
to find that, while the skin remained as
lures were tending slowly on the aver
age to Europeanize.
Yet there would be nowhere spot
where you could say definitely, Here l
leave behind me the Nubian type and ar
rive at the Egyptian" Never even could
you pick out three or four men quite GER
tainly from Il group OH some riverside
wharf overshadowed by doum palms
and say on the evidence of skin and fea-
lures alone, ''These men are Soudanese,
and the remainder are Nubians."
Then, if you went on still through ST.
mai and Palestine-the regular eastern
tour-you would find at each step the
tints getting lighter and the faces more
Semitic. Passing farther through Con-
stantinople. Athens, south Italy, you
would observe at each change lighter
complexion and more European style
till at last, us you crossed Provence and
approached central France, you would
arrive pretty well at the familiar Eng
hsh type of face and fcaturc.-Cornhill

Tho Young Syrian Lecturer.

Asad M. Rustum, young man from
the ancient city of Damascus, delivered
missionary lecture at Greene Memoss

tanning, amusing, instructive and
profitable. He des cribed in detail the
progress of mission work in Syria and
tho pressing need for the evangelization
OF that benighted Countrywide cradle
Of Christianity. His address last night
will servo to draw large audience to
