EXTENDS FAR INTO THE PAST
Scotch Profesaor of Opinion That As-
tlqwtty of Man Haa Been Muoh
Underestimated.
In hia recent work, “The Antiquity
of Man in Europe,” Prof. Jamea
Gcikie of Edinburgh university de-
clares hia belief that man has in-
linbited Europe between 250,000 and
1)00,000 years. All 6uch estimates
based on geological facts—such
(2p the rate at which sediment is de-
posited, or at which stalagmites
^row—that are very hard to deter-
mine with any accuracy, but no one
dow doubts that man is far older
than men of science originally sup-
posed him to l>e. “When we reflect,”
►ays Professor Gcikie, “on the many
geographical changes that man has
w itnessed—the submergence and re-
elevation of enormous tracts, the ero-
sion of valleys and general lowering
fcf tl>e surface by denudation; when
*ve consider that he has lived through
h succession of stupendous climatic
revolutions; that he has seen widely
rontrasled floras and faunas alter-
nately occupying our continent—tun-
flras, steppes and great forests suc-
ceeding each other again and again—
<we must feel convinced that the few
thousand years that have elapsed
Cince the downfall of Babylonian,
Assyrian and Egyptian empires are
Us nothing compared with the long
Irons that separate the earliest times
rtf history from the apparition of
paleolithic man in Europe.”—

on exnioition ror a weeic on ine grass
plot of the terrace below the capitol.
Every now and then a senator with
wrinkled brow, wondering where his
vote would land him, would go down
with the now distinguished chairman
of the foreign relations committee
and look at this real live senatorial
coon with all the interest of a boy at
a menagerie.
My old friend in the gallery could
not resist philosophizing upon the
incident. “Nowadays,” he began, re-
| gretfully, “unless a senator raises
I Cain, captures a coon or docs sorae-
i thing else unusual, he is not noticed.”
j But there was a twinkle in his eye
j as he took my arm and we set forth
I for the terrace where the Missouri
I
coon proved a popular attraction.—

chell Chappie, in National Magazine.
A BITTER PLAINT.
“Mv wife is the most exasperating
womnn on earth,” said the man with
literary hair.
“I thought she was wonderfully
pleasant.”
“There you are. She won’t sym-
pathize in my work. I’m one of
those humorists who describe family
quarrels, and she insists on remain-
ing absolutely good-natured.”
WINTERED ON AN ICEBERG
Precarious "Home” Occupied by Ant-
arctic Explorers In the Intereets
of Science.
Sir Douglas Mawson, in the Strand
magazine, tells in detail the story of
his thrilling experience in the ant-|
arctic regions, in the course of which |
both his companions lost their lives,
I and he himself, after perhaps t
J most terrific perils out of which any
! adventurer has ever escaped alive,
t able to reach safety. In the
ny startling adventures
relates how he and his

HAD A CROP TO SHOW.
A iwenty-Yi;ir-ii<;o item from the
Minneapolis Mc--oii;..cr: “Anions the
many emigratit wagons passing
through the city last Saturday was
one occupied by n man and woman
and eight children. The inquisitive
man approached tin* wagon and com-
menced to question the head of the
family. ‘When* did you come from?’
j asked the inquisitive man. The man
with a family replied that lie came
from Lane county. ‘Been there
long?’ ‘’Bout ten years.’ ‘Raise
anything while you were there?’
‘Yes,’ replied the emigrant looking
at the eight children in the wagon,
‘raised what you see in the wagon
here, that’s all.’ And the inquisitive
man went and looked at the ther-
mometer.”—Kansas City Star.

WASTEFUL AMERICAN HABIT.
The American habit is to “order,”
not to “buy.” The consumer wants
certain food supplies and usually
pays the price demanded without
question as to the amount or the
weight or measure and with little in-
telligent concern as to the quality.
“Ordering” is a habit engendered by
prosperity. It is wasteful and costly.
It lets the pennies slip through the
lingers and runs up the cost of liv-
ing.—New York Mail.
WHY HE WAS BITTER.
“You might at least treat him de-
cent when he calls.’’
“I treat him as decently as he has
nny right to expect!”
“You have a grudge against him
just because 1 came near marrying
him before I met you.”
“It isn’t that, dear. He doesn’t
come here for a thing on earth but
to gloat over me.”

GREATNESS.
