MAN.

Just how long man has existed on the earth is not known. It is safe to assume. however, that it ha,. been many thousands of years. The written history of the human race reaches back into the past but few thousand years at most. All that we know of the race prior 10 that has been gathered through a study of the relics of ancient civi- lizations and conclusions drawn from the ob eryationS Of the more primitive peoples now eXtabt. The result Of the most careful research leads conclusively to the fact that man was not always the wonderful creature. as we know him today with his highly developed faculti- ties and his wonderful control over the force. of nature. It is gener- ally conceded that back in the per iod of remote antiquity he was low in the scale of being, with ill de veloped faculties and little if any thing to distinguish him in habit and instinct from the other ami mals that roamed the earth But at last he raised himself above the other, hy taking on one peculiar characteristic or habit which ha

Slaves were at one time black in color But now they generally are white.
