Neanderthal and Australia.

The famous Neanderthal skull
found in Switzerland in 1856, and
other similar skulls and parts of
skulls found elsewhere in Europe,
have been regarded as representing
a distinct species of the human race,
to which the name Homo Primi-
genius has been given. Professor
w. ]. Sollas undertakes to show that
there are no grounds whatever for
regarding the Neanderthal type of
man as separate species. On the
contrary, he thiuks that "the Mean
derthal race, the most remote from
us in time of which we have any
knowledge, and the Australian, the
most remote from us in space, prob
ably represent divergent branches of
the same original stock" Doctor
Lydekker remarks that this conclu-
sion of Professor Sollass accords
with the modern view that the native
Australians are low-grade members
of the Caucasian. or European stock,
instead of, as at one time supposed,
half-bred oceanic negroes. THE

of Celebes apparently mark their line

PERFECT SCORES MADE.
Marvellous Accuracy Shown in Coast
Artillery Practice.

One hundred per cent target rec
ords recently have been made by
three-inch rifles in the coast artillery
corps. The Nineteenth Company, at
Battery McDonough, with three-inch
rifles at Fort Caswell, N. c., ON May
%, made 10 hits out of 10 shots fired
at material target 10 feet high by
"a feet long, moving five miles an
hour at a mean range Of 1000 yards
The series of 10 shots was fired in
SO seconds. This is the first report
received by General Murray, chief Of
artillery, showing 100 per cent. for
three-inch battery.
A second performance of this kind
took place at Battery Lord, Fort
Moultrie, S. c., when the Sixteenth
Company of the Coast Artillery Corps
on June l made 10 hits ogt OF 10
shots fired at target moving at the
rate of nine miles an hour at mean
range of 1890 yards, the shots being
fired in 36 seconds.

Prodiual. of Life,

The kind of Fourth of July which
this country has been cursed with for
years is an economic crime 1t is
destructive of human life. It sends
to untimely graves children and adults

ducers. Killing them off by tetanus
is costly and painful method of OBJ
serving a national holiday 1t is as
much waste of national resources
as the reckless drafts on the resources
of the mines and the forests. The

DROPPED COFFEE.
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.

A physician of Wash, D. c., says OF
his coffee experience:
"For years l suffered with period
ical headaches which grew more fire.
quent until they became almost con-
stant. So severe were they that some
times / was almost frantic. was
sallow, constipated, irritable, sleep
less; my memory was poor, l trembled
and my thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop 1t. l tried
many times to do so, but was its
slave.
Finally wife bought a package of
Postum and persuaded me to try it,
but she made it same as ordinary
coffee and | was disgusted with the
taste. Il make this emphatic be-
cause fear many others have had the
same experience She was distressed
at her failure and we carefully read
the directions, made it right, boiled it

Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Saintliness does not grow by sigh
ing.
Doing is a safe path to any doc
trine.
Love lifts the lover more than the
loved
Selfshness short-circuits any
prayer.
It's a poor kind of good cheer that
makes others sad.
You cannot possess any more re-
ligion than you practice.
Genius is simply making the most
OF whatever you may have.
Crowns on the head are not won
by wearing frowns on the face.
You cannot grow in grace while
you're fattening old grievances.
When the preacher is fishing for
praise he does not catch souls.
Woeful looks are sure to come
from too much looking within.
He who makes light of love soon
loses himself in the night of hate.
Responsibility is Satans best pres
ent-day substitute for righteousness.
There's little virtue in abstaining
from the evil when we ought to op-
pose it.
In the light of the larger life We
will be able to measure our gains by
our losses.
The man who wants to be first in
the parade never wants to be in front
in the battle.
The preacher who rides a hobby
seldom tries to harness 1t to the Cos
pei wagon
When a man SCOTS at good things
he may be trying to appease envy
with derision.
It's the little sins we cherish that
at last set us around chasing to do
their bidding.
When a man looks on repentance
as city of refuge for the future.
he is likely to find he gate locked

J Observation-Disclosures

Every citizen should know what
corporation like the Metropolitan
costs the average man. In Great
American Fortunes" in McClure's,
Burton ]. Hendrick sums up the case
very clearly. Professional jurymen
hired to defeat the law; children's
signatures bought. for nickel for
what purported to be popular pc
tition to the Legislatures; the public
literally bought and sold at every
turn-those are facts which Mr. Hen
drick brings to light.
Probably no street railway capt.
talists ever had so rich an opportunity
for legitimate profit The income
from nickel fares amounts to $37,-
100000 year. In spite of this, the
whole Metropolitan system is in a
condition of deplorable decay. The
story of the road, and the enormous
fortunes which have been made by
its exploitation, is clearly written in
its physical dilapidation. Crazy ve-
hicles, with machinery so out of joint
that its rafting can be heard blocks
away, are running upon the most pre-
tentious thoroughfares. Their filthy
condition renders them a constant
menace to the public health. The
quality of the employees, according to
a statement recently made by Oren
Root, the Metropolitan's general
manager, is constantly deteriorating;
the men are so poorly paid that only
those desperately in need of work
join the Metropolitan force.
THE surface cars are not provided
with the most ordinary safety de-
vices. New York is the only large
city in the country where the old
fashioned mandrake is still in use.
The Third avenue road, before the
Metropolitan acquired it, used power
brakes on all its cars; the first act
of'the Metropolitan, when it assumed
control, was to remove these safety
appliances, and the explanation usu-
ally accepted is that tho management
feared that the successful use Of
power brakes on one railroad would
cause the pubic to demand that the
reform be extended to all the lines.
This failure to use proper safety ap-
pliances and the inexperience of the
employees makes the casualty list a
heavy one. An investigation recently
made showed that in twenty-seven
days there had been $500 accidents
on the street railways of New York
City; forty-two people were killed
outright, ten skulls were fractured, ;,
ten limbs amputated, forty-four
limbs broken, while eighty-three
other passengers were seriously in
jured. In proportion to the traffic,
the New York street railways killed
eight times as many people as those
in Liverpool. Their record is sur
passed only by the Widener-Elkins
roads in Philadelphia, which killed
sol passengers last year. AS re-
suit of its accidents, the Metropolitan
spends annually nearly a million and
= half dollars in damage suits"

Reasons Why He Decided to Get q
Runabout in Place of Touring Car.
The doctor said: I'm going to sell

So of course it was in order to ask:
"How? Why?" and then to wait the

the tonneau empty and the first thing
you know l see a patient.
He or she halls me, and of course
I have to stop. Then it is only the
part of decency to ask the patient in
for brief ride.
Sometimes they're going some-
where just little off my way, but
they have no hesitancy in asking me
to drop them off there. Actually,
sometimes / have had the whole ton
neau full of such riders.
"The worst thing happened one
day when a couple of them who were
out riding with me and weren't going
anywhere in particular announced
that they were hungry. Well, it hap
pened to be about my lunch time and
we stopped in at restaurant.
I'm blessed if they didn't expect
me to settle the check, because neith-
er one had money enough to buy a

A novel device for measuring the
hardness of metals is called the
scleroscope by Albert F. Shore and
Dr. Paul Herould, its inventors. A
steel ball weighing forty grains, made
extremely hard by a special process,
is enclosed in glass tube, and the
hardness is indicated by the rebound
as the ball is dropped on the metal
under test. A scale measures the
height of rebound. On this scale 100
is the average hardness for carbon
steel, and proves to be the safety
limit for steel tool, after reheating
and tempering. The instrument is
valuable in making tools of standard
hardness.
