The Stone Ade

The stone age still exists among some of the islanders of the south Pa cifc and the Eskimos of the extreme north aS well as in g few other spots hccn aul t''are on earth. The pros ress of early culture in Europe seems to have been from the south and east to- ward the north and west, so that the emergen"e of the different peoples from their age of stone was accomplished much earlier in southern and eastern Europe than in the north and vest. But. while the stone age of different areas is thus not necessarily synchro- nous, it seems to be true of all Euro pean areas that this is the earliest con- dition in which man has appeared upon them. This holds for all other areas as well, evidences of the stone age having been fully established in In uia, China, Japan. Africa and the Americas

Bear Batting In oIden Days.

So popular was bull batting in oldet> days in England that riots followed the attempt to suppress it in the large. towns. Bear batting was more popular still, if that could be. In various places, Liverpool. especially, it made part of the festivities at the election of the mayor. being held before his worship started for church. Eadies commonly attended in great numbers, There was a famous bear at Liver, pool which showed such grand sport i'll 17S2 that certain fair admirers pre- sented 1t with a garland, decked it with ribbons and carried it to the the ater, where a special entertainment had been commanded" which bruin sat out In the front of their box.

Siuns of the Times.

True, it does sometimes seem as if the world were going to the bad, If we judge from the daily news. But we must consider the enormous in- crease in population. the fact thnt many are running to and fro;" that there is no corner of the earth so dark or distant that the searchlight of mod ern enterprise does not find 1t out and explore 1t; that human nature re- mains unchanged amid all these chang ing conditions. retaining still its weak nesses and passions as we'll as Its grand and noble impulses.
 To sum 1t all up:
 This world is not so bad a world
 As some would like to ILake 1t:
 But, whether good or whether bad,
 Depends on how we take It.
 And, taking 1t from the viewpoint of one feminine mind, there was never a generation better worth living in than the generation of today.-Mrs. Mary 10. Dustin in Boston Globe.

Mime.

One of my songs was Landon Ronald's Peace and Rest the idea of which is two lovers not separated by death. but ly- ing together in the same tomb. When came to supper with my friends my host said to me: 'Ah, Mime. Marchesi, that song you sang, Peace and Rest had a great effect upon me. I never thought before of my wife and I being separated by death'-I did not wonder at this, for he Is most happy man. full of joy of life-'but since I heard you sing that song I have been think ing hard, and tomorrow 1 am going to buy a family vault I scarcely knew whether to laugh or to cry. but in the end we all laughed. And surely this would be hard to beat for an example of what song can, do.'"

Perjury Penalties.

Perjury, besides being one of the oldest of offenses in the catalogue of crime, has always been very severely punished. In the days of the Roman empire any one who committed per jury was thrown from a precipice, while the Greeks branded their false swearers. It Is interesting to note that when the latter embraced the Christian religion the punishment was altered to that of having the tongue cut out, sort of punishment which was considered to fit the crime in the early centuries. In the middle ages some countries adopted the system of giving the perjurer the punishment for the crime he falsely accused an other of. Thus if he swore a neigh bor had committed murder and the charge was disproved the perjurer would be sentenced to ueath, and the other penalties of the penal code were exacted for the particular crime al. legged.

He Who Spares Vice.

He who spares vice or apologies for it il the places of the world wrongs virtue in every place. He helps the good to look upon it leniently. and thus to lower the tone of morality within themselves. He assists the bad to make it respectable, and thus to give the warrant and license in its imita- ton, Grd even in its emulation. He discoul ges virtue in the humble and poor-the great masses, who form the real basis Of society, and upon whose goodness and truth the state must rely for its character before the world and its stability in the world.-Dr. J.

Three or four days after the ad-
ministration of President Rutherford
B. Hayes became history there came
into my office at Washington gem
tleman whom L had never met per-
sonally, although as o newspaper
man unknown by name to him, had
talked to him.
He was Carl Schur2. He had just
completed four years service in the
administration of President Hayes as
secretary of the interior. l spent a
part of one afternoon in his office in
the Interior Department listening to
a consultation which he was carrying
on with some of those who represent
ed the Indian wards of the nation.
The Bureau of Indian affairs was
under the authority of the secretary
OF the interior. Far more than by
ANYTHING that was Saskatchewan the
discussion was somewhat heated at
times-was interested in the per-
sonality of General Schurz himself.
He sat erect in his revolving chair
His face was icy in its expression.
When questions came from his lips
it seemed almost as though n marble
statue spoke.
had earlier seen General Schurz
when he was on his way to Boston
appointed to accompany the body of
Charles Sumner to Massachusetts.
General Schurz sat apart in the par
lor. car from the other Senators. He
was impassive, almost as motioniess
as he would have been had he been
frozen TO his seat. He turned with a
cold. distant look. not moving MS
head but simply his eyes. and saw
from the parlor car window great
company that had gathered in the
railway station of Hartford to look
at Charles Summers funeral train.
\ ct had every one who stood in that
great throng been invisible. General
Schurz's manner could not have been
more emotionless, as though he were
sightless.
These, as we'll as one or two other
experiences which l had. persuaded
me that Carl Schurz was a man with
out power of emotion of any kind ex-
cepting that which ambition creates:
I could not understand how a man OF
that phlegmatic, glacier-hke person
atty could have obtained and kept the
