you are out in the world and have dis
covered that you not only need to resist,

All wrong, Archibald. What you need

strong sense of justice. Mother and Miss

competitive system would have made you
a brute. The one is as vicious as the

Descended FROM Squirrels,

Not the apes and monkeys, who are
literally mans blood relations, but the
moles, the hedgehogs and the shrews
represent more nearly the type of the
ancestry of the human race. The
oriental tree shrew and the African
jumping shrew, small squirrel-Iike
animals that feed on insects and
fruit sought in trees, represent to-
day, according to Prof. G. Elliott
Smith, president of the section of an
thropology, in his address before the
British association, the animal that in
the Cretaceaus period took a step
"fraught with the most far-reaching
consequences" in that it marked the
birth of the Primates and the defin-
lite branching off from the other
mammals of the line of mans ances-
try"
This is new. With other biologists
Professor Smith says he should be in
clined to look upon the orang, the
chimpanzee and the gorilla not as
ancestral forms of man, but as the
more enterprising members of mans
family, who were not able to maintain
the high level of cerebral develop
ment of the feeble bodied human, but
saved themselves from extinction by
the acquisition of great strength and
a certain degree of specialization of
structure. The feebler man was able
to overcome his enemies and maintain
himself in the struggle for existence
by his nimbleness and weight and his
superior adaptability to varying cir
cumstances."
In the tree shrews, large Drained
little insectivores, betraying many
links with the lowliest and most prirn-
tive mammals, Prof. Smith finds the

sphere i'll which Impressions might be

With this beginning of the means of
associative memory, learning by ex-
perience was achieved among animal
forms. The fish lost from the hook
again seeks it, but the trapped mann.
NAL, If freed, walks more cautiously
thereafter. Prof. Smith says:
Il maintain that the neopaIium is
a feature distinctive of the mann
malian brain, and that it represents
in itself the unity of the apparatus
concerned with psychical phenomena
which Aristotle postulated as the
counterpart of the unity Of conscious
ness
The mammal that DEVELOPED into
the shrew took to the trees. deveIon
ing keenly the senses of vision. touch
and hearing at the expense of the
oIfactory organs. This animal. "rnorej
intimately related to the nonkex-s
than the tree Iemurs are" became
the progenitor both of apes and --fan.
CurioUsly enough, Prof. Smith believes
that the apes lost in the race with
man by the loss of their primitive
characters and by too early speciaIi-
zation.-New York Times.

BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Obedience in a child is certainly a spler--
did quality; more irritating than a mos
quito's sting is it to have a disobed1ent
child. And yet there are many ways of
exacting obedience that seem to me even
worse than putting up with disobed1ence.
CoWing a child is one of these, and lying
to a child is another
The other day I was making cali Oh
woman of some social standing and pre-
sumabIy of some intelligence and educa-
uon when her little son came into the

do.
And yet I know a great many grown
people with a belief in their own integ-
rity who seem to think nothing of forcirg
their children's obedience by lying 10
them about the consequences of their acts
or the punishment that will follow.

yeaT-old daughter.
IF you don't behave the bugger man

lifelong fear of darkness.
Lying to children is so unfair. You are
their superiorS in mentality anyway, aEd
yet you take that further advantage of
them. Besides, lying to children is dan
bring trouble. The child must either De-
lieVe or disbelieve. If he diSbelieVes, re
loses faith in you. If he believes he is
likely to get into trouble with your false
hoods a guide.
I remember little anecdote in which 1
delighted when 1 was child, largely,
think, because I had dim notion of its
poetic Justice. A father travelling with MS
son on a train accidentally dropped mis-
hat out of the window. By a quick mo-
ton Of his hand he caught it. The child
was astonished to see the hat reappear
and the father told him he had whistied
it back again. A few minutes later the
boy summoned his father from behind tie
paper he was reading by announcing,
'Oh, father, whistle your hat back agalI..
I've dropped it out of the window"
Again, 1 once knew of a woman who
was crossing the Atlantic with two CHI
dren, a baby of two and a child of six.
To hush the baby she repeatedly threat
ened to throw it out the portfolio into the
sea If it did not stop crying. On return
ing to her stateroom after a brief absence,
what was her unspeakable horror to flni
that the older child had carried out ner
wicked threat.
Lying to children is ticklish business.
IF you must lie, take some one your
mental size. Obedience enforced by
threats is not much good, but it's even
less desirable when the threats are lies.

THANKSGIVING.

Give thanks, o wearied SOUL
For struggle and for strain
That brings such golden grain
The race that has no goal
And for the blows and stings F
That give the gift of wings.
Give thanks, o bleeding heart,
For all the flaming swords
Thrust rude amongst thy chords;
And for the anguished smart
That makes thy bosom yearn
To spare cen crawling worm.
Give thanks, o troubled mind,
For error and for doubt
That brings relief about
The clouds with silver lined
And for the evil dread
That wakes truth from the dead.
Give thanks, Q spirit sad,
For all the common good,
For human brotherhood,
The hope that makes us glad
The signs on land and sea
OF Immortality!
