A POINT IN EVOLUTION.
The Furrow Under the Nose s Remark
 able Char acter of tho Face.

The Furrow Under the Nose Remark
 able Char acter of tho Face.
 Below tho nose runs a furrow parting tho upper lip. In the faces of babies ard children this furrow is very noticeable. From the cvolutionist's point of view it is ono of tho most remarkable characters of the face. It teEds to become obsolete in old age, and it is not seen among the Catarhinc monkeys. Among the Platy rhincs it is but fcebly developed, but in Lcmurs it is in moro pronounced state. Therc is depressed septum, to which tho two side pieces arc joined The upper lip, in fact, is nearly split in two, but held together in a depressed piece of flesh. In tho Marsupialia and Rodentia tho lip Is practically in two pieces, and each piece is capable of being moved separately. This is tho "harelip," and its method of use may well be noticed in hare UT a rabbit when eating
 Tho flu row, therefore, in the child's lip points to this-that our ancestors possess ed not single upper lip, as we do now, but two upper lips, ono beneath each nos tril, both capable of independent move- mont In the course of time these two lips have, owing to the nonrequrement of in- dependent movement, grown together to form the single lip we now possess, but tho line of junction is not perfect, and so the furrow results, and sometimes there is q distinct scar down the middle of the furrow.
 Tho possession of the furrowed upper lip by children is one of tho strongest pieces of evidence against the descent of man from any Catarhine and in favor of his descent from Platyrhines, or from Le- murs through the intervention of Platy- rhinclikc ancestors, of which there arc no exact living representatives s.-Nineteenth Century.

learning 10 Sham Illness.

The Rev. Harry Jones tells a story
drawn from Portland prison which is
worth reproducing. On going into the
library Mr. Jones asked what were the
favorite books of the prisoners, and was
told, to his surprise, that Buchan's Do
nestle Medicine" was more frequently
asked for than any other. AS there was
surgeon always ready to attend to the
ailments of the convicts, the reason for
this searching after medical knowledge
was difficult to find; but he afterward
learned that the description of the symp-
toms of illness was carefully studied by
the inmates of the prison as scientific
guide in the shammino of sickness. A
successful malingerer was relieved of his
tasks, and obtained the coveted idle
time on sick leave.--British Medical

Zee Cream Fiends.

Halls Journal of Health says: Those
ons, and their number is legion,
whose fondness for this summer dessert
is such that they are designated ice
cream fends, will be glad to know that
the value of ice cream as remedy for
certain intestinal troubles is being adj
vanced. Some, indeed most, physicians
permit it through, typhoid fever, always
insisting it shall be of the purest make.
To the story recently going the rounds
in print, of the entire cure of a case of
ulcer of the stomach By the sole and
persistent use of ice cream, may be add
ed that of a woman. She suffered from
a serious affection of the eyes, directly
traceable to digestive disturbances, and
her physician finally put her upon ice
cream as a sole diet. For eleven months
she literally lived upon ice cream, with
the result to effect complete and ap-
parently permanent cure. The theory is
that the cream furnishes ample nourish-
meilt. while the diseased intestines,
chilled by the low temperature of the
food. are prevented from getting up in
fammation during the process of diges-
ton carried on by the healthy parts.
