INCENSE TO NinvANA
By GARRETT p. sERyIss.

When man began to develop the faculty
OF speech be lost some OF the powers
OF expression by gestures and bodily and
facial signs and eontortions which he had
inherited from his trse-climetng and cave
dwelling ancestors.
In some respects the loss 10 to be de-
plored. II In not shared equally however
by all races Of mankind. The southern
peoples In general have more ability to
make their thoughts and wishes known
through sign language than have we In
the northern and cooler parts Of the
earth. To that extent Italians and Span
iards, Greeks and Egyptians. and the
tropical races In general are closer to
cur arborsai progenitors than va are.
This is no challenge to their intelligence
lit 10 simply proclamation Of the fact
that while acquiring command OF
spoken language, which exceeds ours IN
volubility, they have a. the same time
retained more Of the original power OF
bodily expression than we have done
From hts own eeeount Of himself De-
mothenes. the greatest orator In all his
tory. was q kind of man-monkey, who
could redouhIe the effect Of his spoken
words By wonderful play OF features and

Neither does any woman throw a lit

Thereupon the youth entered upon
course of systematically rudeness and ne

every appointment he made engagements
only to break them, de refused inu-
eating bum dinners and was bored by
woozy amateurs In place OF doing
song and dance before every beauteous
creature he knocked her looks. and lam
bssted her frocks.
Al first this greatly surprised every
one, but they soon began to regard him
with awe and respect. When hostesses
found out that he was hard to got they
commenced featuring him at their enter

rude remarks on their appearance. the

"A Columbus OF Space" I have shown
some OF the ways In which such ap-

high order OF intelligence.
An article which have just been read
ing In the May number OF the cosmopoli-

IL appears that this girl who learned her

however. could language. either spoken
or printed, be abandoned. This is supreme
acquisition. which man never can, or
should, lose. But. who has not thoughts
and feelings which he cannot put into
words. but can express in other ways?
A language would need ideas and emo
tions-snd then IL would be too poor. So
II is. at least worth considering whether
the time may not come when we shall
converse without words. and thus learn
more about each other than we ever
dreamed Of knowing.

 Two Rats Month. '.5
 If it be true that. ancient remedies are always the best it may be of in terest to those afflicted with dentfil troubles to know how the ancient Romans dealt, with such ills. ,, The Qui- rites recognized two types of treat ment, the magical and the medical. The following are some of the preserip- tions advised by the magicians: a..
 Take the head of dog that has died of rabies, mix the ash with oil of cyprus and inject the product into the ear of the affected side.
 A water snakes vertebra will serve to scarify the gum provided that it be obtained from white skinned snake, or for the same purpose may be used a lizards frontal bone obtained. when the moon is full, or, if that fail, a chicken bone will do, provided that it be dried in hole in a wall and thrown away immediately after used.
 It is good treatment to inject into an aching ear oil of lemon in which have been macerated mallow bugs, even should this last give rise to itching.
 A worm fed on particular herb or a cabbage caterpillar can conveniently be placed in hollow tooth, but it is equally simple to chew an adder's heart.
 Prevention being better than cure, sovereign preventive will be found in the eating of two rats a month.-Lon- don Hospital.
