A young hostess who prides herself upon
her chatting dish cooking served q Welsh
rabbit last week to few friends, who were
enthusiastic in its praises. She confessed
that 1t was made by the true Welsh for.
mula, and after considerable coaxing she
gave it, as follows: Thick slices of bread,
cut across the whole loaf, spread with a
layer, at least half as thick as the bread,
of rich cream cheese crumbled Ane. On
top Of this was spread evenly a thin layer
Of bacon, chopped very fine. According
to taste, n sprinkling Of pepper was added,
and n wineglass of ale, or enough to
slightly wet the bread, was poured over
the whole. The slices prepared were placed
In n hot oven and left until the bread was
dried through, the cheese melted and the
bacon crisped. ed.-Philadelph Ledger.

The Antiquity of Man.

Our biologists rarely use the term
"quaternary.' By European writer's it
is understood to mean the period which
followed the Tertiary, and includes the
present time. Archaeologically, says
Science, it is divided into two epochs,
the older including the pre-glacial, the
glacial, and the pos t-glacial ages, all
characterized by chipped-stone indus
try; the latter beginning with the ne
olithic culture and continuing till now.
Professor Gabriel de Mortillet, in the
Revue Mensuelle," of the Paris School
of Anthropology (January 15), sue
cinctly explains these divisions, and
sets forth with his usual clearness the
typical products and the fauna which
characterize them. He has found no
reason materially to modify the opin-
ions he advanced in his earlier works.
and still maintains that careful study
of the geological data bearing on the
question of the antiquity of man, does
not allow us to assign it more recent
date than two hundred and thirty thou
sand years ago.
