AntIauity OF Man.

From n review in Science Of De Nor
tillets 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 OF the living anthropoids
did exist.
Pithecanthropus erectus Is consider
ed as the immediate precursor Of man.
The Calaveras skull Is rejected. The
paleolithic period is considered as cor
responding TO the early quarternary.
and $4,000 years Is assigned as the
length Of this period. Add to this num-
Der 10000 years for the protohistorlc
and neolithic periods and GOOO years
more for the historic period. and we
have 23s,0OO years. which is, according
to the authors. a moderate estimate Of
mans antiquity.

Utility Of the GRAY Gowns

An actress who plays leading parts
in a well-known stock company makes
point of always having one gray
costume in her wardrobe. This is usual
ly a dinner gown, but as it is made only
slightly decollette and with elbow
sleeves may be used for many other
purposes, and frequently saves its
owner the trouble and expense of pur-
chasing at least one new gown when
ever a play is added to the company's
repertoire.
For gray is a most adaptable color,
lending itself to number of cOmbina-
tions, and may be so made that it will
be becoming to women Of all ages For
young girls it is charming, and for their
grandmothers equally suitable. The
latter. however, should take care to Sc
lect a shade as nearly like their hair
as can be obtained. White and gray-a
very light shade of gray-look particu-
larly we'll together and are especially
becoming to middle aged women.
The greys with a suggestion of pink
through them are not used as much as
formerly; for a better effect is gained
if the material is transparent enough
by using pink lining. This does not

VELVET GOWNS MAY BE ECONOMICAL

Although the term velvet gown has
such an expensive. no to say luxuri-
Gus sound, it is really not at all an ex-
travagince when it is remembered that
it may be made to serve for both street
and house purposes, and certainly it
would be difficult to find winter
frock in any other material that is so
comfortable, and what is of perhaps
greater Importance, becoming. EVEN
very stout woman looks we'll in one OF
these costumes, for the long lines given
by vertical pleats and folds of some
contrasting material afford the appear
ance Of slenderness, which seems in
these days to be the chief ambition OF
those women who go in for being fash
ionably attired.
One of the recent velvet models has
long skirt with an exceptionally full
train, and is perfectly plain all around
excepting for two narrow bias bands
Of black silk, which are on either side
of the front breadth and extend from

to use white Innings or else a shade eX-
actly to matcn the material. There is
nothing quite so smart as dresses all in
one tone, but it is likewise true that
they are frequently the most trying,
and this is especially the case with
gray. This difficulty may be overcome
and the gown remain practically of one
tone If a narrow line of some other
color, pink or blue or green, which
ever is preferred, is put around the
upper edge of the stock collar so that
the gray shall not come directly against

LINCOLN ADOPTED 1T.
His Famous Phrase, "Of the People,
Originated by Theodore Parker.

Ills HhmOuH fhraRe, "Of the People" )"
Originated by Theodore Parker.
William III. Herndon, Llncoln's law
partner, knew Theodore Parker well
and had much correspondence with
him, and after the Lincoln Douglas de-
bate he came on TO Boston and saw
Parker and other antislavery men with
an eye TO Lincoln's political prospects.
Going back TO Springfield. he took with
him some Of Parker's newer sermons
and addresses. "One Of them," he
says in his Abraham Lincoln" was a
lecture on The Effect OF Slavery ON
the American People, which was de.
llyered I'm the Music hail. Boston, and
which gave TO Lincoln. who read and
returned It, He liked especially the
following expression, which he marked
with a pencil and which he In sub
stance afterward used I'm his Gettys-
burg address: Democracy Is direct self
government, over all the people, by all
the people, for all the people," The
address referred to Parker's last great
antlslavery address) was delivered July
4, 1853.
Here, submit, was the probable ori.
gin OF Llncolns phrase. In one variant
OF another II was a great favorite Will
Parker, often taking the exact form
that Lincoln gave II, with his sure IN
tuition of the best where there was any
choice Of words. In n speech delivered
by Parker in 1850 we find 1t imbedded
IN passage which might have been
the inspiration Of Stewards famous
"irrepressible conflict" or Lincoln's
"house divided against ITSELF" a view
TO which Parker continually required.
In two other speeches It stands "gov-
ernment OF all the people. by all the
people, for all the people" It's earliest
appearance that l have discovered ia
his writings is In letter TO Rev. Sam
uel j. May in 1S4S. where It is simply

New StKIes in Ripgs

The newest style in rings is known
as the lattice work design. The circlet
spreads at the back and a little gold
lattice work nils the space. This is
fitted solidiy with white diamonds and
surmounted by a setting of stones in
combination.
Rings copied after the George III
style also are a fad Of the season. How
ever, the ordinary circlet and the usual
style of setting are good enough for
the average woman. who prefers them
