THE OFSIN OF MAN.
Ancient Beiiefs That Trees Were the An.
 eestors of the Human Race.


 cestors of the Human Race.
 The descent of the human race from some particular species of treo is ono of the oldest myths that can be found run ming through the folk stories of every nation. In Virgil we find reference to the race of linen who took their birth from trunks of trees, " and among some of the early commentators on that statement we even find speculations as to the particular species of tree from which the race sprung. The very earliest Egyptians as we'll as those who lived under later dynasties had legend of the tree of life" and many of the leading investigators, both ancient and modern, have expressed the opinion that from Egypt came the Biblical story of the tree of knowledge of gosd and evil" which graced the original garden made by the All Wise for our first par ents
 Professor Thistelton tsee his "Fnlk Lore of Plants"l believes that the Scrip tural narrative cited is survival of the belief in the "tree descent of man." and that the abiding faith of mankind in the tradition again crops out ill Rev elation, where the tree of life" plays as important part as that of the famous tree mentioned in the first book of the Bible. The natives of Madagascar have tradition which is believed and perpetuated among them to the effect that the first man was born alive from a tree, and that he immediately set about making himself "a helpmeet, fashioning her from a knotted limb by the aid of mussel shell carving knife.
 Marsden's History of Sumatra" tells us that the people of the Philippine is- lands also have the tree descent legend among them, and King, in his Life Among the Bushmen of Australia, says that the people there habitually live among the trees, because "they are taught from infancy that their early ancestors were trees endowed with the faculty of speaking and moving about from place to place.

 Not little interest has been felt as to what Rev Dr Talmage is going to do in future. It was a foregone conclusion he would land npon his feet somewhere. and in comfortable if not luxurious quarters ;but where? IL is no- definitely settled that New York will be bis future home, a syndicate of his friends have guaranteed him a round sum an- nually and the Academy Of Music has been engaged for an audience-ro, m, where he will every Sunday afternoon hold forth in strictly un-denominstion- al service. A sympathetic gospel is what the world wants, 'ssys Dr Talmage; which IS true. And if bit of circus can be mixed in at the same price. it increases the want perceptibly.

Cotton Mills Moving South.

From New Hartford Tribune.)
 The Merrimsc. the largest cotton manufacturing company in Lowell. Mass. is to have Southern plant, making Ihree of the largest cotton mills in Lowell to join in the movement south. The reasons given by the Merrimac company for this move. are: cheaper cnsl, cheaper labor, longer hours, and cotton on the ground.
 A Lowell manufacturer speaking of odds against northern cotton mills says:-
 Our weavers worked ten hours day, or sixty hours & week, and averaged about SI l5 day in wages. In the South they worked seventy-two hours a week and got about 60 to TO cents day. In other words. where the Southern manufacturer paid to cents per hour, we paid 10 to II. I believe that they are now running sixty-nine hours a week against our fifty eight hours.
