THE AGE OF THE WORLD.

Over in southern France has been
discovered the skeleton of Il man of the
middle palacolithic age, indicating
that he had lived and died about
100000 years ago.
The christian era is les than 1000
years old and history which attempts
to 60 back more than 5000 years be-
fore the birth of Christ, gives us little
more than legendary fragments.
Grasp then, if you can the hypothe-
sis that this world was inhabited
100000 years before the birth Of
Christ. In that vast sweep of 5000
centuries. hos many times did civil:za-
ton reach its present standard. Is it
not possible that it may have far sur
passed anything We have as yc;
attained!
A little more than 1000 years ago
we were barbarians, but little removed
from absolute savagery-primi,ive,
cruel and intoierant in our passions.
In the space of 1000 years, we can
trace our progress, step by step, from
paganism and savagery To our present
plane, which, while admittedly far
removed from perfection, still presents
al advanced plane of civilization.
1t is incOnceivable that i'm 500, 900
years, man has made no progress and
if progress was made, what moral or
natural law set it hurting to ashes
again? Is it a part Of the plan that
civilization shall 60 50 far and then
fall? Or is it merely some accidental
caprice of nature, like that which
destroyed Pompeii->omc sudden,
awful cataclysm which wipes cut every
vestige of humanity and its work from
the face of the earth and preserves an
occasional skeleton in a stratum of
clay to be discovered a half million
years hence
We don't know and perhaps never
shall, but the discovery of the bonesof
men who died 3O0,00o years ago, the
monster footprints of animals now long
extinct, the impenetrabIe mystery of
the solar system eNcites our curiosity
and we fam would peer into the mys-
ferrous land of yesteriay.-Cnlora,io

RICH STOCKHOLDERS ENJOY
JUICY SEARSBUCK MELON.

That ripe and Juicy ten million dol
lar melon for the stockholders Of Sears,
Roebuck Il Co. was carved last Mon.
day. They enjoyed the feast immense
". but it is not Of record what our
farmer friends thought. The latter
furnished the seed. soil. fertilizer,
water and labor that made the melon
grow to such enormous proportions,
which would indicate that no matter
how much the farmer hates trusts in
general, he really enjoys working for
the mail order trust.
The melon cutting proposition,
which involved the increase of the
capital stock Of the Searsbuck COM
pany from $780, 600 to $4,000, 900,
the distribution of the new stock as a
bonus to present shareholders, was
recommended by the directors last
November and passed upon fayorably
at the annual meeting held Monday.
The stock of the companyis listed on
the New York and Chicago exchanges,
and the extra dividend had been ex-
pected in Wall street for some months
previous to its announcement.
The directors were reelected, as
follows: Henry Goldman, Philip
Lehman, A. Barton Hepburn, o. c.

COLOSSAL BRITISH SAVINGS.

The people of the British Islands in
1910 saved one billion, seven hundred
and four million, FIVE hundred thuus
and dollars, according to the London
Statist. This unprecedented sum is
mostly being exported to augment the
five billions Of British capital invested
in North America, the two billions
invested in Argentine railways, the
other billions invested in Australia
China, India, South Africa, in nearly
every corner of the earth.
For some years British foreign in.
vestments have not been 50 large, for
the reason that vas, sums were absorb
ed by municipal securities at home,
and perhaps because the British people
had been passing through a period of
extravaganza. But the capital de
manded by municipal improvements
and assumption of ownership of public
utilities has been all supplied, while
also the people have entered upon
period of individual economy. More
over, the Lloyd George taxation, a
most pronounced success as revenue
producer, perhaps disposes liquid
capital to 60 abroad rather than to
seek investment at home.
But the sum of one billion. seven
hundred and four million, five hundred
thousand dollars yearly savings proves
that Britain still ranks with France as
a great producer of liquid capital,
whereas her yearly incr,a is I'M
menseIy more than that 81, France.
The Germans are doing well, produc.
ing wealth and augmenting their
wealth, but the British figures of 1910
must stagger them.

rash and was all over baby's body,

It developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on

when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food

The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM

BRACKETS FOR CELLAR SHELF
Considerable Work Required In Max.
Ing Framework II Not Done
While Wall 10 Being Built

The erecting of shelves against q
cement or stone wall usually requires
considerable work in making the
framework; this could be replaced by
placing three-eighths-inch iron rods In
the mortar Of the wall when It Is
built, says the Homestead. These
should project far enough so the
boards used for shelves can lay on
same, in the manner shown In illus
tration. Where the wall has been
constructed the holes can be drilled
in same way by employing a miners
drill Of the right size; It is then an
easy matter to slip the rods into
