Why Apes Cannot talk.

The latest rerouching of Darwin's
theory of the descent of man from
monkeys has been given by DR.. Nc
Namara in lecture before the ROYAL
College of Surgeons in London. He
said it had been proved that MAJ. and
the anthropoid ape were derived from
the same stock. but that the nerve
center which controlled mans faculty
of speech was absent in the ape, so
that the latter could not learn to
ak. The anterior lobes of the apes
lTain, containing the part controlling
speech, are defective, he said, because
the skull is ossified during the crea-
lures first year, into rigid closed
case that keeps the brain from ex-
panding. The skull Of man does not
consolidate until adult age, and so the
anterior lobes and speech nerve cen.
tiers can go on developing until the
twentieth year.-Little Chronicle.

ROSES.

Perchance you may have met my love
Abandoning down some country lane,
When all the sky was blue above,
And sunlight fell in golden rain,
And roses here,
And roses there,
Along the path bloomed everywhere.
Perchance you looked into her eyes,
Like Yiolets, all purple-deep,
Ana tender as the twilight skies,
80 luminous with thoughts they keep,
Where roses sweet,
With mystic SPELL
In drifting showers OF petals fell.
hy love, perchance, you may have met,
l have but seen her in dream,
A face with eyes of violet;
An, still TO me most real they seem,
Those roses here
And roses there,
That by her path bloomed everywhere.

All Is Not Gold THAT Glltters.

Rock Island, Oct. 25.-Editor AR
GUS: The reported gold find in the
lower part of our county reminds me
of similar find in Mis- -ouri in the
Ozark mountains. David G.. Bates,
an old lGalena friend of mine. tells
this story on himself: He was in the
eastern Ozarks in 1880 where he and
Others discovered in sandrock
formation many shining particle s
which they supposed was gold. He
started on horseback for 81. Louis o
enter at the land office an S0-acre
tract of land containing the precious
metal.
Another party started on the errand
for ST. Louis. Bates had the fastest
horse aud arrived first at his destina-
tion and entered the land. He had
taken along with him samples of the
mineral. taking them to an old French
goldsmith and chemist. He put the N
under a blow pipe and said to Bates
every good sul ph1r; no gold" II was
a combination of iron and sulphur.
T ais mineral takes on various forms.
/ have seen it in the cavities of rocks in
the shape of inverted tiny shining
icicles in the Galena caves taking the
form of cubes, diamond shape, at
tached to fibers pendant from the
roof. Sometimes it scattered and
shos through sand rock formations.

Guard Your Health In Fall and Earl
Winter.

Winter.
a change from warm to cold is al
ways attended with more danger than
from a cold to a warm temperature,
hence the greater mortality from
lung and throat diseases at this sea-
son of the year as compared with
spring.
The best protection against colds
i not so much in extra clothing as in
good digestion,
If the digestion and circulation are
good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circula-
ton of the blood and when in this
condition severe colds are contracted
on the slightest IIrovocstion.
People who made a regular prs ctice
of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals are free from colds, sim
ply because their digestion is perfect;
the heart strong and regular, and the
whole system fortified against dis
ease
1t requires little argument to con-
vince anyone that the best safeguard
against colds pneumonia and changes
of temperature is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals are dissolved and ming
ling with the food cause it to be
promptly digested and assimilated;
they do this because they contain
nothing but harmless digestive ele-
ments which digest meat, eggs and
other food even when the stomach
itself is weak and flaccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make
people well and keep them we'll, and
the hest habit you can acquire is to
keep daily use of them at meals to
make the digestive organs strong and
vigorous.

MUST PROTECT CLANS:
GOVERNMENT MAY ACT

Ore of the Well-known manufacture
ers OF buttons, j. NJ. Denison, whose
brother was drowned off a shell boat
near Montpelier some months ago,
and who is connected with the Mis-
sissippi Valley Pearl Button company,
thinks the time is near at hand when
fresh water bivalYes must be protect
ed. He says:
''In my opinion it will not be long
before the United States government,
or the states along the river, will
take some steps toward protecting
the clans. Every year the price of
shells is going higher as they become
more scarce, and it will not be long
before the supply will be so low that
button manufacturers will have to
use the inferior CLANS found in other
rivers. OF course the supply can
never be completely exhausted, bu it
can be greatly diminished. The shells
used now are called the 'niggerhead'
shell and are the best OF the fresh
water shells. There ara other she'll
that blanks can ne made from, bu
as long as the button manufaci urer
can secure the best he will not take
the inferior, and so great beds of
these other shells remain untouched
"A fresh water clam shell is mar
ketable when it is three years old. OF
course all shells three years old are
not the same size just like corn or
anything else, shells are different in
size. according to the condition of the
place where they grow. For instance
a shell bed at the mouth of or in
river that runs through a lime coun-
try las the largest and best shells in
it At New Boston, ILL.,, is the largest
shell bed in the river. 1t is Just at
the mouth of the Iowa river and al
conditions seem favorable. l should
say that this was the largest in the
river. for the shells are icing rapidly
taken out of it. However, if the bed
could be protected in some manner, it
would not be over three years before
it would again be the largest, for the
CLANS increase very rapidly
1.-The oyster beds in the ocean are
protected, and feel sure that in time,
when the Importance OF the shell in
dustry is more fully realized, some
thing will be done to protect the fresh
water clam beds. too. for if a clam
bed is given chance it will recuper-
ate itself in a few years"

ohIAndt Had a Bond.

An interesting feature of the case
of Fred Ohlandt, if he does not find
the means of returning to his fellow
employees at the Davenport postoilice
the money that he stole and which
they were completes to make good,
will probably be proceedings by I'm
Gle Sam against he surety company
that furnished Fred's bond And
when the surety com any whacks up
the $210 or so, it is cinch that it
won't do thing but push the case
against Fred. The consequences may
be that his friends or relatives may
find way of squaring Fred's account
with the people who have suffered
tn ough his dishonesty. in which case
he might get chance to begin over
again aud make better record for
himself.
