Old Churchyarda

1t would appear that certainly 80
early as about A. d. $50 spaces of
ground adjoining churches were inclos-
ed and consecrated for burial, and by n
canon OF the ninth century every grave
was to be esteemed sacred, to be ndorn-
ed with the sign of the cross and to he
preserved from trespass and violation
by dogs and cattle. Many churchyards
have u history far older than the
churches which stand IN them, being
originally places appropriated to reli-
gious assemblies, divine service being
performed there. until at length the
church was added for greater honor
and convenience.
1t has been noted as curious faet
that In large majority Of cases the
churchyards are on the north side of
the church and on the north side Of
the road leading to them. There is Il
superstition among many old fash
Toned folk that the north side Of the
churchyard Is less sacred than the
rest Of the consecrated ground. "Io
be buried there" wrote Durandus, the
great fourteenth century ecclesiastlc.
sis, In the language of the eastern
countries, to be buried out OF sanctu-
ary." Hence the position was largely
appropriated to the graves of suicides,
unbaptiZed persons and exeommu-
nicates.-Notes and Queries.

hnfI1utty of Man

From review In Science of De Nor
tlllets great work on prehistoric times
the following Is condensed. Twelve
chapters are devoted to the question OF
tertiary man. 1t Is concluded that
while man did not exist during this
period, precursors OF man more intelli-
gent than any or the living anthropoids
did exist.
Hlthecanthropus erectus Is consider
ed as the Immediate precursor of man.
The Calayeras skull is rejected. The
palcollthic period Is considered as cor
responding to the early quarternary,
and 222, 600 years Is assigned as the
length Of this period. Add to this num-
Der 10000 years for the protohistorlc
and neolithc periods and COCO years
more for the historic period, and we
have 23S,000 years, which f. according
to the authors, moderate estimate Of

TRICKS IN THE SILK TRADE.
How shoppers Are FooIed-Tests
Which show the Pure Material.

Pure silk, when 1t has been through
all the processes necessary to bring out
all its good qualities, is worth its
weight In silver, said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect TO buy pure silk ut little more
than the price of cotton must expect to
be fooled, and there are lots of ways by
which the manufacturer gets even with
them.
They make stuff that is called silk
and passes for II with credulous per-
sons who don't know any better ont OF
nearly any old thing now. One favor
lite imitation silk is made of cellulose
treated with chemicals. Ii isn't good
material To get on fire In. Then there
are south sea island cottons and some
metceri2ed cotton which after treat
ment look something like silk, though
OF course they wear very differently
and their silken appearance soon van

But II Is in adulterating goods which
really have some silk In them that the
greatest skill Is exercised TO deceive
the buyer. TO obtain the required rus.
Tie and body rough floss Is often used
for the woof of the material This soon
causes II to wear shiny.
Another trick IL TO increase the
weight and apparent solldlty OF film.

kinds of SILK increases the weight also.
but at the sacrifice of strength Cheap,
craekly, stiff silk which has heavy
cords Is good silk to avoid II won't
wear.
There are several tests which reveal
readily the purity of II piece OF silk.
The microscope of course will show II

Pure silk has The appearance Of fine,
smooth tubes. Another good test Is by
burning. Pure silk burns slowly, with
Il slight odor. Cotton flares up quickly

Greeable smell
