A POINT IN EVOLUTION.
The Furrow Under the Nose a Remark
able Character of the Face.

Below the nose runs n fnrrow parting
the upper lip. In the faces Of babies and
children this furrow is very noticeable.
From the evolutionist's point Of view it
is one of the most remarkable characters
of the face. 1t tends to become obsolete
in old age, and it is not seen among the
Catarhine monkeys. Among the Platy-
rhincs it is but feebly developed, but in
Lcmurs it is in moro pronounced state.
There is depressed septum, to which the
two side pieces are joined. The upper
lip, in fact, is nearly split in two, but
held together in q depressed piece of flesh.
In the Marsupialia and Rodentia the lip
is practically in two pieces, and each piece
is capable of being moved separately. This
is the 'harclip," and its method Of use
may well be noticed in hare or q rabbit
when eating.
The furrow, therefore, in the child lip
points to ths-that our ancestors possess
ed not a single upper lip, as we do now,
but two upper lips, one beneath each nos
tril, both capable of independent move
ment. In the course of time these two lips
have, owing to the nonrcquiremcnt of in
dependent movement, grown together to
form tho single lip we now possess, but
tho line of junction is not perfect, and so
the furrow results, and sometimes there is
distinct scar down the middle of the
furrOw.
The possession of the 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 Platyrhincs or from Lc-
murs through the intervention of Platy-
rhinelike ancestors, of which there are no
exact living representatives. Nineteenth

Administering Medicine TO Children.

Tact and truthfulneSS should be
used in administering medicine to
children. The administration of medi-
cine to infants and children requires
both skill and tact. Measures that
conduce to the physical comfort of the
little patient are readily recognized
and appreciated, but the good effects
of nauseous dose are not so apparent,
and children viii often evince a repug-
nance to taking medicine that can
only be overcome by the greatest firm
ness and tact. Parents and nurses,
therefore, should endeavor to gain the
entire confidence of the child Above
all, they should never deceive it by the
assurance that an unpleasant mixture
Is agreeable, as the confidence thus lost
can seldom be regained. Absolute
truthfulness is essential in all dealings
with children, and many child can
be induced to take a disagreeable
drug if assured that it is for its good
by some one whom it trusts. Much
has been done of late years toward
making medicines for children more
agreeable, but there is still room for
improvement, and the administration
of drugs still remains a difficult task,
especially in the cases of spoiled and
poorly trained children.

aia r1orals Not obtrusire.

The Rev. George R. Dodson, the
popular Unitarian Minister of Ala

own expense. While spending the
summer vacation at Skagg's Springs
one of his greatest friends was fell
low boarder, a little girl about eight
years old The two were constant COM
panions, and the child accompanied
the clergyman on his excursions In the
neighborhood One evening the little
girl remarked to her fellow-dine
Il ike going out with Mr.. Dodson-"
"Why?" queried stranger, hoping
10 draw the child out.
Because ne has no morals" was the
startling reply.
When the summer boardeTs had re-
covered their equanimity they insti-
tuted an investigation, the upshot OF
which was the discovery that the curly
haired maiden possessed an Unsuitable
craving for stories This desire was
frequently gratiied by Mr.. Dodson, but
unlike the anecdotes Of the child's
mother, the ministers tales were never
pointed with a moral for the young
ster's government

BRUSH Char1oteers.

The pluck and dash of British chart
oteers greatly impressed the Roman
General. They began by driving at
full speed along the enemy's line, hurl-
ing their weapons, and frequently
throwing the ranks into disorder by the
fear which their horses and the rattle
of their wheels inspired; and when they
had edged their way in among the
troops of cavalry, they leaped down
from the chariots and fought on foot.
The drivers meanwhile fell back lit
tie TO the rear, and so posted their
chariots that, if the warriors were hard
pressed by superior numbers of the
enemy, they might have ready re-
treat to their own lines.
So in battle they combined the mo-
bility of cavalry with the stability of
infantry, and became so expert by daily
practice and exercise that when on a
declivity or steep incline it was their
habit to pull up their horses at full
gallop, bring them to standstill, turn
them in an instant, run out along the
pole, stand on the yoke, and then get
back with all speed into the chariot.
Some of the British cars had scythes
attached to the axletrees, and were
called by the natives covini-that is the
Celetic word cOwain, which means a
cart or wagon. The Romans may have
pr aYiously seen similar chariots used in
the Gallo armies, but the wild antics
of the painted Britons must have dis
concerted them not a little.
Even Roman troops were sometimes
demoralized by the uncanny-looking
beings who opposed them. Thus we
read, a century later, of an attack made
upon the Island of Anglesea by the
Romans. They found drawn up along
the shore dense array of armed men,
through whose ranks ran women, re-
sembling Furles. clad in funeral garb,
with disheyeled hair. and torches in
their hands, while Druids stood around
and poured forth dreadful impreca-
tons, with hands appraised to Heaven;
and it was only with difficulty that the
General could induce his men to charge

Napoleon at the Table.

No man ever looked dignified while
boiling a meal-not even the great Ma
pOleon. Constant, his valet. says that
often the Emperor was at the table
not more than twelve minutes
HE lacked a good deal of being neat
in his table manners, adds the warm
admirer of the Emperor He used his
fingers freely instead of his fork, and
even instead of a spoon, drenched his
bread in the sauce or gravy turning
the plate round and round in the opera
ton, as ill-bred children sometimes
do-and all in all, conducted himself
in such a way that it was almost an act
of courage to sit at table with him.
1t is not surprising to be told that
those who dined with the Emperor
were wont to remain and finish their
dinner after he had retired. Prince
Eugene-sOn of the Empress Jose
phine-once rose from the table i'm
mediately after the Emperor.
But you have not had time to eat

necessary if a man is to dine with cere-
