Wise men say there is nothing real
~ new in this world and perhaps the
boy who passed the following critic
ism upon the drawing abilities OF his
big sister was an unconscious plagiar.
ist but anyway his verdict amused
his sister so much that she tells it
occasionally, though the joke is on
herself. The young woman has a
fondness for executing those works of
art which consist in the representation
of dead game birds hanging by their
heels from n nail on a board. fish ON
q platter ready for the cook. and fruit
grouped on n table around q wine
glass. These gems she turned of at
the rate of about four q year ana pre-.
sentcd them to her friends for their
dining room walls She had just com.
pletcd n twin pair for bride one
represented q mess of Holsters i'm q
nest of salad: the other q basket OF
peaches, with down ON them like
plush She was so pleased with both
that she asked her brother If he did
not think they were just splendid. 1t
was evident that the youthful critic
liked one and not the other. After
looking at them a minute or two Inc
said:

a celebrated English physician as
serts that the increased height and

the last half century are chiefly due
10 the increased consumption Of sugar.
He cites in confirmation of this opin-

At a recent meeting of naturalists

frogs never take water by the mouth.
On being exposed for several hours to

Siberia makes the latest contribu-
ton to the small number Of skeletons
of primitive man that have been dis
covered. The skeletons of cave and
lake dwellers and other primitive
representatives of the race hitherto
brought to light have usually been as
ISOLATED with utensils made of stone,
while the interesting find on the slope
of a mountain in the upper Angara
basin, Central Siberia, was surrounded
by rude manufactures fashioned en-
tirely from the bones of animals.
Probably all anthropologists agree
with the view of Professor Virchow
that none of these skeletons has
thrown great deal of light upon the
development of the race, though. judg-
ing from his remains. it is perfectly
evident that primitive man did not
resemble monkey any more than do
men of to-day. All the remains that
have been discovered show that the
ancients were well formed, having the
same characteristic marks that we find
In men Of our times. None of them
was so poorly developed as to justify
the assertion that he possessed the
. lowest form of skull. From what is
known Of his brain capacity. physical
structure and handiwork, we need not
be ashamed to acknowledge primitive
man as a brother.

Fire on the Battlefield.

A correspondent, writing from the
battlefield to The Macon Telegraph
and Confederate, under date of May
l3, 1863, about the battle Of Chancei-
lorsville, gives the following story of
horror OF war:
"The line of General jackson 8
corps became united with that Of Gen
cral Lee. and at night our troops oc-
cupied the battlefield of two days
hard fighting, and olept upon their
victorious arms. Directly after the
battle, scene met the gaze appalling
to the eye7 and checking 70 the sensi
bility of the most obdurate heart-the
wood caught on fire, and the wailings
of the wounded enemy were horrible
evidenoing not only pain from their
wounds, but the excruciating tortures
cf :ho G7o. Msny-vory mauy-were
burnt to crisp, as we'll as many Of
our dead and wounded. I think it no
exaggeration when say the battle of
Chanccil0rsville was by far the most
furious contest of the war, and more
horrid scenes met the eye than was
ever before witnessed on any other
battlefield. But, by the help Of an
ovcrruling providence, we gained a
great victory. and sent the boasting
Hooker back bowling across the Rsp-
pahannock-more severely punished
than was his predecessor, Burnside.
aud have made him another sacrifice
upon the altar of Northern fanaticism
and tyranny"
