this case as important az tho ono which biol
ogists are seeking further back between man and

American and his nearest relatives sprang has
vanished from the earth. The branches stil live.
but root and trunk have disappeared, and the

Those wonderful developments. physical, intel

some primeval common property Of all mankind

One Of the benevolent mistakes OF life lies in
the ordinary saying that man 10 by nature a

that he has no sympathies except such as are
forced upon him by circumstances The differ
ence between America and Europe In tho old

former men were left to their own will In this

A Curious Creation MYTH.

The various nations of the earth
have their different legends or
myths concerning the creation.
That of the Scandinavian countries
is particularly interesting.
According to the myth, Odin, Viii
and We, sons of the giant and giant
ess Bor and Beltsa, killed Ymir, and
from his body formed the heavens
and the earth. OF his blood they
made the seas and impossible oceans
which surround the earth; of his
bones they made the mountains, us
ing his teeth and the splinters to
make the stones and pebbles. From
his inverted skull they formed the
heavens, and of his brains they
formed the clouds. His hair became
plants and trees when given a chance
to take root in the new, warm soil,
and of his eyebrows they made
wall of defense around Midgard
(Eden), which was the central place
of abode of men. When these mir
acles had all been performed to suit
Odin, who was the chief god, the
three brothers took the sparks of
fire which rained down from the
burning world Musphelheim, and,
throwing them over the face of heav-
en-, made the sun, the moon and
the stars. st. Louis Republic.

Cardinal Hohen1ohe.

Speaking of the late Cardinal Ho-
henlohe, Rome correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says: Popular
rumor attributed to the cardinal the
quality Of eccentricity. There APP
peared to be a justification for this
opinion. For over 40 years he was
o habitual frequenter of the sulphur
baths of the Acque Albule, between
Rome and Tivoli His food was
cooked in these strong smelling
waters. He SO loved them that he
bathed in them even to the last. His
love of art made him the friend of
artists, and an American sculptor,
M. Ezekiel, may be said to have
been one of his greatest friends All
this, 50 marked in his case, led peo-
PIE to think of him as eccentric. =

THE MOST SENSIBLE GIRL.

Perhaps there are girls who in figure and face
Than Nelly are far more bewitching,
Whose measure of gentleness, sweetness ana
grace
Seem to feminine worth more enriching.
It may be there grows in the garden of hearts
Some truer to loves tender training,
Some goddesses gifted with manners and arts
Than Nelly's far more entertaining.
You'll find maidens queenlier, daintier,
crowned
With charms more deserving mans praises
You'll find them more sprightly, more taste
fully gowned
More fertile of eloquent phrases.
But not in the realm of her sex, declare,
No matter what haven she blesses,
Can a woman be found whose good sense will
compare
With the kind that my Nelly possesses.
Do you ask for the proofs2 Does my statement
Cypress
Your functions of mental digestion?
She's the one girl in town who'd the sense to
say eyes
In response to my popping the question.
