Show Men Like Apes.

Prehistoric paintings recently un-
earthed show man to have been like
an ape. The only known examples of
paintings Of men by prehistoric cave
decorators have been discovered lately
by Prof. Rene Leaunel in the Portel
grotto, cave of Louhens, in Ariege,
France, where Noulet already had
found quaternary remains and human
bones. About 40 sketches in black
or red, only one in both colors, adorn
the cave as frescoes, and two repre-
sent men of primitive type, while
the others show bisons, boars and
horses. OF the human figures one has
long. head, with retreating forehead,
while the other shows a remarkable
apelike pose, with rounded back and
arms pendent in front. There Is a
cruoching boar, but the horses are
mostly galloping and poorly drawn, al
though the forequarters of a horse
are quite skillfully figured in black on
one of the darkest walls of the cavern.

A One-Sided View.

"a member of the Georgia legisla
ture, "he remarked, introduced bill
which provides that any man who is
lured into marrying woman who has
by artificial means enhanced her beau
ty may, If he wishes, have the mar.
riage declared null and void. That is
to say, if the bridegroom discovers
that the bride is compelled when she
goes to bed to hang any of her sup
posed charms upon a chair he may
consider himself free to wed again"
And what about it, asked the lady,
eff bride discovers, after the eere-
mony. that the groom wears wig
or dyes his mustache?"
ANY woman who is foolish enough
not to know wig or a dyed mus
tache when she sees one ought never
to make any complaint about it."
