PRIMITIVE MAN AND FIRE.
Why the Savage Beasts Did Not A.

, Why the Savage Beasts Did Not AA-
nihilate Human Life.
II, as seems probable, the animal fear Of
men was acquired and 10 not natural to
their minds, it is not very clear how the
very early tribes Of men, when the lar.
ger carnivorous animsls-Nere far more
numerous than now, escaped destruction
and survived long enough to impress on
the animal world the sense of fear by
/ which man now dominates 1t. Regarded
merely a. conflict between one GLASS of
animals and anot!ie,, the result should
not have been doubtful. Man ought to
have disappeared from tho face Of the

equipped offensive creature, il fair pre-
sumptive evidence that original man
never WAS on level with the animals in
intelligence. but was equipped with tho
predominant brain power which has put
him ahead In the race ever since.
Primitive man, literally speaking, ''lived
by his Wits" for he could have owed his
survival to little else He was not, for ex-
ample, nearly 40 we'll equipped as the
monkeys for physical defense or flight,
though their survival 10 not altogether
easy to explain on purely physical grounds
Their power Of using their arms and
hands as means Of swinging rapidly
from branch to branch gives them an i'd
vantage over all the tree climbing cats.
Their habit of throwing missiles is also
very disconcerting to other animals. though
this art is only practiqed by certain mon
keys.
But their rapid and intelligent combina-
tion for defense, menace and lookout duty
has contributed quite as much to their
survival as their speed and activity. In
tropical America even the monkeys are
hard put to 1t to escape tho attacks of such
active and formidable foes as the harry
eagle and the ooel0t But 1t cannot be
proved that even the most debased or
physically weakest Of mankind has ever
been the natural prey" Of that natural
enemy" which, according to Sir Samuel
Baker, is the nightmare Of nearly every
species of nonoarnivorous animal.

this rule are temporary and narrowly local.

mans Magazine says:
ITO such people would say let them
try any one Of them, even the easiest, such
as fieing' ditch, and think that they
will change their vews. In truth, there IL
no single operation on the land that does
not require worry considerable amount Of
skill to perform 1t properly, and this skill,
acquired by years Of practice, the agricul-
tural laborer puts at tho service Of any
one who will pay him 10 shillings week.
Moreover, there is no nonsense about
eight hours day with him. With brief
intervals for food, he works from to 6,
or more, or In winter from daylight to
dark. Indeed horsemen and cattlemen
work longer. Moreover, when calves or
foals are expected, they have often to sit
up all night, perhaps for the best part of q
week, and this without extra charge
Likewise holidays are for them practical.

AN ENCHANTED GROVE
Dusalng Bees That Cannot BE Found
and q Mysterious Hammering.

Dusslng Bees That Cannot BE Found
and a Mysterious Hammering.
Away back In the flfties there WAS q
Shawnee Indian village on the South Ca
madam river, about IS miles west Of South
McAlester, but the old village has long
since disappeared. On tho spot where the
young Shawnee buck sang his kiowala to
hts dusky maiden and c0urted his best
girl by the light Of the full moon only
an occasional rock hearth and few graves
are left to indicate the former hunting
grounds Of the red man.
Near the old village site now lives q
white man. Just On the border of this
mans farm Is spot which seems to have
been the thioksst settled part Of the Shaw
nee village, and here Is grove Of black
oak trees. In this grove are two very
large post oak trees, one in the south end
one in the north end Of the grove. In the
grove can be heard most any day the buzz
ing of swarm Of bees 30 plainly that the
noise has fooled many old bee hunters,
but all their search has never revealed .
single bee.
Now comes the most peculiar part Of
this most peculiar tale. Tho large post oak
tree standing at the north end of the
grove IL the curiosity Of the bunch, for
not long ago e young man, hearing Of the
bees. went to the spot and proceeded to :
look carefully up each tree In the grove
until he came to the north tree. He was
within two feet Of this tree, looking up,
when he heard noise Just like carpenter
at work mailing on boards, and the noise
seemed to come from the tree. He went
around 1t several times trying to locate
the hammering, but 1t still seemed to
come from the tree. The hammering con-
tinued until he happened to touch the
tree with his hand, when 1t suddenly stop
pod. The man then went away amazed.
A day or SO afterward this man had coca.
sion to again pass that way. He slipped
up to the tres and listened for tho ham
msring, and, sure enough, it was a. plain
rs ever. He touched the tree with the end
Of bis finger, and, as before, the noise
stopped at once. This man and several
others have tried touching the tree several
times since, with the same result.
They say that the humming Of bees and
the curious hammering can be heard any
lay, but no one has been able to explain

A Russian shopkoeper with an eye to
immediate returns Is said to have posted
an announcement to the effect that the
reason he had hitherto sold 90 ohesply was
that he was unmarried and did not need
profit for the maintenance of wife and
family. The advertisement closed as fol-
lows:.
ut is now my duty to inform the pub
lilo that this advantage will shortly be
withdrawn from them, as am about to
be married. They will therefore do we'll
to make their purchases at once at the old
rate"
The result was that there was such
run on the shop that in the course of a
few days the shopkeeper had made enough
money to pay the expenses Of his wedding.

SPANARDS COLLAPSE.
0hagrined Over the Result Of tho
Peace Negotiations.
TREATY READY FOR SIGNATURE.

One ofSpain's Com missioners Declares
That european Nations Have Made
aMistako In Leaving Her to the Brute
Force Of Conscienceless Giant"
Paris. Dec. 9.-The United States and
the Spanish peace commissioners con-
cluded their work yesterday and finally
settled the terms Of the treaty Of peace.
They will meet once more In formal
session tomorrow or Monday next.
when the Spanish commissioners. sor-
rowfully. and the Americans, with
feelings Of relief, will write their sig
natures upon the document which en-
bodies the results of the war and the
preparation of which has consumed II
weeks, a longer time than the war It.
self. In the meantime the treaty will
be engrossed under the supervision Of
Mr.. Moore and Senior Ojeda, the secre-
taries Of the respective commissions.
The Spaniards are exceedingly bitter
over the result, though observing the
forms Of friendliness and courtesy to
the end. Senior Montero Rios, whose
strong and persistent struggle to save
for his country every possible assent
from the wreck Of her colonial empire
has commanded the respect and ad-
miration Of his opponents, went from
the council chamber yesterday to his
bed In state of complete collapse as
the result of the long strain and his
chagrin over the small fruits Of his
efforts. Senior Ojeda has been pros
trated since Wednesday. and was I'M
able to attend the joint session yester-
day.
The Spanish charge equal blame upon
the European powers and the United
States for their downfall One of the
Spanish commissioners said: THE Eu-
ropean nations have made a great mis-
take In deserving Spain and leaving her
to spoilation by the brute force Of
conscien celess giant. They all know
that In the Philippines America has
taken more than she can digest. She
Will ultimately sell the islands to Eng
land or Germany. and when the trans
fer Is attempted 1t will precipitate gen.
eral European strife.
I'VE have refused to sell any island
In the Carolines. We never thought Of
considering an offer. Nor have we
to negotiate upon any ques-
lions except those directly involved in

Made the Hymn True.

In small village in the south Of Eng
land is church which. owing to the abb
sence Of gns, is lit up by candles. For the
convenience Of the minister q candle Is
placed each side Of the reading desk in the
pulpit, in front of which the choir sits.
The parson in this particular church had
a habit Of swinging his arms about when
ever he was speaking to give emphasis to
bis words.
One Sunday night tho latter was read
ing out the hymn, =.
Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings, 90
when with powerful swoop of his arm
he knocked down one Of the candles into
the open mouth of one Of the members of
the choir beneath. The suffering that
ensued was something terrific. There was
at least one Christian surprised that night.
