MAN is LIKE APE.
Ia In Nerve Center which Con-
trolls Articulation.

A second Darwin has sprung up in
the person of DR.. Mcnamara. who,
in lecturing before the Royal College
of Surgeons, London, making the
Hunterian grafton, said it had been
proved that man and the anthropoid
ape were derived from the same
stock, but that the nerve center
which controlled mans faculty of ar
ticulate utterance did not exist in
apes, and consequently they could
not acquire the power of speech.
1t appeared, he added, that the de-
fective anterior lobes in the brain
of the ape were due to the small
capacity of the creatures skull,
caused by Justification during the first
year of life into rigid, closed case,
within which the brain could not ex-
pand, whereas the brain of man did
not consolidate until adult age. and
so anterior Iobes of his brain. includ.
ing the nerve area controlling speech
might continue to develop till he at.
tanned his twentieth year.
But this, he said, was not always
the case, for the human skull found
in the tertiary formation of Java was
clearly on the border line between
man and apes.

The establishment of a school to

of Mrs. Sarah St. Justin Beale. of New
York city. who some time ago tried to
found union of servants. She has
been trying to interest a number of
prominent persons in her plan. and
some of them consider il favorab bly,,
she says. She had received a letter
from Bishop Potter in which he says:
ANY enterprise which contem-

ants has in it possibilities of a much
wider utility than most of us recog-
nize. contributing, as it does. to the
betterment. the peace, and the health

1t is proposed, Mrs. Beale says,
among other things, to teach every
branch of domestic service. Bonds are
to be issued for this purpose.

RIGHT up TO DATE.
(bsnson's Plaster Is Pains Master.)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness Of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eper. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits Of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (anI Thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few ~ homo remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt Of 25c. each.

FAMED CYCLORAMA A RUIN
PhiItppOtemuN's Picture Of tettys-
burx Battle Lies Neglected
IN ROstOu.

The famous panorama of the bat
poteaux painted in the early sos.
is going to rack and ruin in Il l'ostou
city lot. 1t has been stored for II
years in n wooden box about 20 feet
high. two and one-half feet wide and
80 feet in length. A tiny pitched
roof extends over the box. but the
weather has played sad havoc with
both the roof and the box and the
canvas is badly damaged.
This painting cost 100000. and
Philippoteaux the elder considered it
his greatest work. The painting was
a duplicate for Boston of the orig
inal. which was made for Chicago by
the younger Philippnteaux. The
cyclorama project was originated by
a Chicago man. Charles H.. Willnugh-
by, and fortune was made in The
exploitation of panoramic repro
duction Of the battle of Gettysburg
The canvas is 400 feet long and 81
feet high. Just before it was fin.
ished the elder Philippoteanx lay on
a dying bed, but he insisted on view
ing the great painting once more and
was carried on a cot into the mids:
of the hammering and noise. There
helpless, he watched the great sheets
upon which he had labored as they
were slowly lifted into place. He de
clared that the painting was one ot
his best works.

WHY LYNcHrNc Is COMMON.
Justice Brewer says Failure to En.
force Law Against Offenders
Ia the Reason.

Lynchng was both defended and
rebuked by Justice David j. Brewer,
of the United States supreme court,
at Yale the other evening. In speak
ing of disobedience of the law as a
trait hostile to good citizenship,
Judge Brewer said:
ut used to be said that lynch law
was a matter for the far frontier,
but il has grown till IL may be said
to be habit of the American people.
Now hardly day passes without the
people in some part of the country
taking the law into their own hands.
Lynching is convenient and expe-
ditious way of putting some scoun-
drel out Of the way, and the fact that
an occasional mistake occurs seems
to make no difference in the minds Of
the lynchers.
"It seems sometimes as If legis-
latures made laws which resulted in
protecting the criminals. It seems
that appellate courts have wonder
fully quick way for detecting flaws in
the processes of law wrung from the
lower courts; furthermore, at the end
of 1t all, there sits kind-hearted ex-
ecutive, sensitive to the appeals OF
relatives and friends. Under such
circumstances the community chafes
under the restraint and wishes to
take no chances on conviction"

THE LAST GIFT
BY John Albee.

TT WAS nothing-only a few april
cots on a common plate--that Am
brose Martin gave his wife one late
summer evening, but it was his dear
est gift to her, and to purchase them
he went out of their little apartments
for the last time. He had been sick
for two years--'the happiest years of
my life," he often said. In them he
had learned to know and love his
wife more than ever before. In health
and prosperity neither was aware
of the depth Of the smooth stream
of their lives. But when ill-health
began to weaken his strength and at
length deprive him of his position
and one by one of ali his resources.
SO that he was compelled to move
from cheap to cheaper rooms, a great
light of love began to illumine his
life. 1t drew the husband and wife
closer together. Although unused to
labor, the wife now became the
breadwinner. Having arranged ev.
erything for his comfort during the
day, she departed for her labors
Here, with a heavy heart, she went
through the duties of the day, for
she was constantly haunted by the
fear that at any time she might re
turn and find her husband dead. He
was in that critical stage of his dis
ease when this was likely to happen
Her heart almost ceased beating
when, punctually at four o'clock II
the afternoon, she opened the doc,
of their rooms.
Hitherto she had found him in hi
accustomed place, propped upon I
lounge, small table by his side, OF
which were a few books. a musica
score and a photograph of his wife
He had been an organist; music wal
his passion; in it he lived and fount

land In Utilixing the Marvellous
Discovery says Tesla's
Hopes May BE Realized.

Marconi, the inventor of the wire
less telegraphic system, has arrived
at New York and will spend one month
in America, during which time he
will visit the New England coast and
other places and consider the advisa-
bility of various sites as wireless tele-
graphic stations. Concerning his
plans, Mr.. Marconi said:
"One of the objects of my visit is
the establishing of wireless tele.
graphic stations at points along the
coast, SO that incoming and outgoing
vessels can communicate with the
shore from the sea. Among the trans.
Atlantic steamship lines the North
German Lloyd will be the first to take
advantage of my system
Referring to the use of the wireless
apparatus on board warships, Mr.. Mar
conf said plants had been instituted on
vessels of the British, German anc
Belgian navies. In the British navy
2s vessels are equipped with the sys
tenn, in the German three and in the
Belgian four.
From all these" said Mr.. Marconi
messages can be transmitted success
fully from distance of 200 miles a

"I am confident the system will ulti
mately be adopted throughout th'
world. The fact that several steam
ship companies have adopted the sys

CHlcAGOAN FINDS A CAVERN.
Cave in Washington Containins
Two Giant Human Bodies. ~

IL. r. Forest, miner from Chi
cago, who was prospecting in the
Cascade mountains last summer,
claims to have discovered a wonder
full cavern in the foothills in the
eastern part of Lewis county,
Wash. The cavern Is IL feet in height
and from s to so or 60 feet in width.
The walls have been ponshed and
contain hieroglyphics and figures
that were made by human hands. The
main passage was explored for five
miles, from the main cavern, in one
of which was boiling water, and in
other parts there were ice caves.
Two tubs had been cut into the
stone near these springs. In this
same passage was a we'll about 81
feet deep, and around the well a cir
cular stairway led to the bottom
After devious winding about the bot.
tom of the well an immense under
ground lake was discovered, and al
every entrance was canoe, appar.
emily made of cedar, petrified. chained
to heavy metal staple driven in the
wall.
Another passage leading from the
main boulevard led the explorer tc
flights of stone steps leading dowr
about 60 feet. At the bottom was {
long passageway ten feet or more
wide and of about equal height. On
huge slab, side by side. were tive
human figures. one that of IA woman
measuring over seven feet in length
and the other of a man seven feet ant
ten inches long. Roth bodies wer
