The earliest rate of men who peopled
England, say s Grant Alien in “ Knowl

paiseoHtl.io or older stone agte. They
were low-browy-d, iierce jawed, croupil

ftlqnPit undoubtedly exist tbe*c at tbe

or latter stone ago inch, who have bten
iri or. tiffed, wifli great. probability, oft a
branch of tbe samo imilated Bat-quo or
Hujst-rarian race which now'fives among
the; valleys of the Western Pyrennes and
the Astuyias Mountains. Our knowledge
of them Is mainly derived from their
tom 1 . or barrows—great lieaps of earth
which they piled.rip above the bodies of
t'lmr dead chieftains. From these haye
been taken their skeletons, their weup
niiß, their domestic utensils and their
ornaments.
In stature, tbe neolithic men were
sboyt and thick-set, not often exceeding
Ove feet four inches. In complexion,
they were probably white, Iml swarthy,
like tbe dark - t Italians and Spaniards,'
oy * vou the Moors. Their skulls wero
yery long and narrow; and they form
the bestTlistinguismg mark of tbe race;
as well as the best ti st of its survival at
the present day. The neojitlis wero un
acquainted with the use of metal, but
they employed weapons and implements
of stone, not rudely chipped, like those
of flic older stono age, but carefully
grofuud rind prilislicd. They made pot
•tery, too, and wove cloth; they domes
ticated pigs and otfte i und they culti
vated coarse,cer. als iu the little plots
which they cleared out of the forest
with their stone hatchets or tomahawks.
In general culture, they were about at
the same level as the more advanced
Polynesian tribes, when they first came
into contact, with European civilization,
Tho : burrows which they raised over
tbe in dead chieftains were long and
lather uarfroiv, not round, like those of
the later Celtio conquerors. They ap
pear! to have lived for tbo most part in
little stockaded villages, each occupying
a small clearing iu the river yailqys, and
ruled over by a single chief; and the
harrows usually cap the summit of the
1 boundary hills which overtook tho little
dales, lnairie them are iong-chamborod
galleries of large, rough-hewn stones:

Halene -biacde, a FreSfch woman be
tween the years of 1853_and IBOT, killed
twenty-eight persons, with poison, be
-1 aides making several unsuccessful at
tempts. In none of her murders was
causa alleged or discovered,- though ttc,-
doubteiily tire pleasure derived from the
perpetration of crime was the chief
factor. Hfer Victims were her masters
and unstressed/ her fallow servants, her
friends, aud several nuns, for whom iu
their last moments she displayed the
utmost tenderness and care. The plea
of monotnania was set up in her defense,
but no'evidence was brought forward by
her counsel, save the apparent waut of
motive for her crimes. It was shown
however, that she bad begun her career
of crime when'only'seventeen ybahs old,
b / attempting to poison her confessor ;
that she had, while perpetrating her
wholesale murders, affected the greatest
piety, and was fora time an inmate of n
e nveut; tbit she had eoamitted 'over
thirty tin fts; that she bad maliciously
cut and burned various articles of cloth
ing placed iu her charge ; that when
a-koil why she stole things tiiat were of
po me to her, she had replied, “I always
ft ,) when I am angry;” that she was
stibjvet to alternate periods of great
mental depression, and excessive and
unreasonable gaiety; that she was af
f. et. and with pains in theheadnvid vertigo ;
tiiat when she was angry she vomited
blood; and that, while riff .prison await
ing trial, she was ccmstantly laughing
and joking about indifferent subjects.
, Sim was found guilty, and on being
asked if she bad anything to say why
se.'itijuce of death should not be passed,
made an answer so ninek like one given
inoro recently by, another criminal tlijt I
give it hero : '“Wp, your Honor; I am
inn* c "lit, I am resigned to nil that may
bajqicii. I would rather die innocent
than live guilty. You have judged me,
but God will judge you.” Her last
words ou the scaffold were directed to
uocusing a woman as her instigator aud
accomplice, whoso name was not even
mentioned during the trial, aud who,
Upon inquiry, was found to bo an old
paralytic whose life had been of tbe
most exemplary character.
Tbo most noted ease of similar char
. actor occurring iu this country is that of :
'Jessj Pomeroy, the bov torturer and
fahiflpfer of Massachusetts.' The plea of
insanity here whs of some avail, for his
sentence of death was commuted to im
prisonment for life. These cases are
sufficient to illustrate the nature of tbo

IViiat Shall Girls Do I
An esteemed young reader of the
1 Ti\nc', sends some reflections concerning
the i riucation of girls which are in some
reapeots worthy of attention. Anything
cone j uing girls is ’always interesting—
partii-iiriivvly to young men. Our esteem
ed. young correspondent doesn’t seem to
be satirtied With tbo way in which girls
aro brought up. Being a marriageable
young, tuiau he lias looked over fiis
acquaintances to find one whom he
knows to be a practical housekeeper,
but thus frit*, lie'says, he has looked iu
vriin. Ha knows a great many who can
play the piano and assume to speak sev
eral languages, but not one who can
riuiEo a loaf of bread or broil a beefsteak
properly.
It is probable that this young man
! tell) tbe eiiuct truth. It requires much,
more skill and intelligence to mako a
loaf of bread and properly broil a beef
steak than is generally nndertood.
.Either is a very difiifiult undertaking,
iTough many girls who do cooking
'art'er a fashion regard, it as a matter of
uo account, except that the work may
imps tv. antiy affect the complexion.
Hitch girls do not know when a steak is
propci'iy cooked; it is doubtful if they
would know when much of anything
is properly done. PerTiiips they can
make themselves agreeable in the parlor,
and t hat is a very nice thing, but a wife
needs,some other qualifications.
Tb rc are girls, however, and a great
many of them, who know how to make
breeland broil beefsteak and do in*
thoroughly skillful way the thousand
tilings required of the pefect housewife.
Our young reader should try aud'extend
his ;> edit auifarice to include some of
tfics >. There fire not *9 many of them
us there should be, but that is not so
much too fault of tho girls as it is of
those who have ha t the responsibility of
their edueatidri. The scarcity of those
accomplished in the science of liouse
ktn ping makes them all tho more valu
able, but there is abundant room for tho
spread of that kind of education.
Ew ry mau isn’t seeking a skilled
housekeeper for a wife, however, aud
many, young women cultivate a taste for
idleness anil ease with a view to living
up to a husband's wealth. Thei'e is
more disappointment than happiness in
this. Every woman who undertakes
tho duties of home should know how to
direct those who do lier work, if she do
none of the work herself. We agree
with much that our young correspondent
says —Philadelphia Times.
The Palm Tree.
There aro districts of Tinnevelly, in
Stmt-hem India, w here tho soil is so dry
and . andy that it is surprising anything
will grow. Yet where this powdery red
sand prevails for miles wo have walked
through pflautatious of tlie stately
Palmyra palm, the great stems rising to
ail immense height, and tho trees in the
most vigorous health. Here, as else
where, the sap flows most freely at tho
hotted timo of tho year, aud when the
soil is without vegetation aud almost
without Substance, when the only shade
is that cast bv these branchless trees from
te eir narrow crowns of loaves, when the
oylv clouds are clouds of dust, “when
the streams are dry aud the wells are ex
bnusted, and the largest rivers are
* 'Uiy beds of glowing sand,’’ there is tho
i igular spectacle of these stately trees
flowing continually with their fountains
of sweet water. How is it possible? wo
often asked. Bishop Caldwell, whose
bouse lies close to such a desert, tried to
answer that question f**r himself. He
dug into the ground to observe tho
course of the roots, but as deep as ho
dug “ the thread-like roots of tbe pialm
Iwrowrid deeper,” until at last, “when
forty feet t*elow the surface be cone
upon water ;” and here the roots, linuk
ing in tbe rc-freshiug moisture, pene
trated even further among gravel aud
■*t .lies, and he could follotv them no more.
The riddle was solved; and any ono may
feci what anew beauty it gives to the
comparison hero. The roots of the
Christian life sink down into the living
*w*ters. They are fed from the peren
inl ionnterns of the Spirit far out of
fight, Aud tire service and fresluiens of
Amt life, and all tho influences that flow
u*)in it. do not depend on what we see.
for tlie soil w here such a life grows is
often spiritually barren, bub they depend
upon the roots striking down among the
Jiving waters. —Good Hard*.

Conducting Hotels In Europe.
Hotels in Europe are conducted on
tbo theory that the guest is a private
personage to be entertained iu a private
manner. He is mlt required'to register
?!i liame-he.'gooß qnly b.V the number
of bis room, aud most frequently no one
but tbe waiter—not even tbe landlord,
will have anything to say or do with
him. Meals may be sent to the guest’s
bed-roomy or. lie may take them in the
dining-room; in many hotels, also, in the
“coffee room,” the “smoking room,”
tho “commercial room,” and even in tlio
parlor. Some hotels, but not all, have
a table ri'h ./e.
Iu many hotels in Great Britain,
rather good ones, too, as far as furnish
ings go, nrithing but cold cuts aro to lie'
had—except at breakfast or at the late
dinner, cold ham. roast beef, corn beef
or chicken, bread aud beer, form the
ordinary lunch. Some hotels in London
furmsh'tio vegetables. At such the bill
of faro is coffee, tea, ham and eggs, mnt
ton chops, roast beef, soles or salmo'
and bread. Even with this indifferent
bill of fare they are often crowded and
at times decline to receive guests unless
rooms have previously been bespoken.
Most usually—invariably so in the
hotels of the middle class—women aro
the housekeepers; assign guests to
rooms, keep tlie accounts and manago
tho internal arrangements. Payment is
exacted only for what tbe guest lias
ordered. He will be charged for the
room, but i upder no ojfiigation to take
meals IrrlhellriitlSe.’ A cnpVif coffee trim
a biscuit will boas cheerfully furnished
as the must elaborate meal.
Tbe waiter is the principal executive
officer. He invariably wears ft suit of
black brondcloth, claw-brimmor coat,
white necktie, broad expanse of shirt
bo-0111 and sometimes a white vest.
“ Wlrnt is your number, please?” be will
say on first coming in contact with yon,
and will quietly book against that num
ber tbe price of dishes ordered for the
meal as well as the lodging. Previous
to departing you will ask him to render
you an account, or at nfiy rate lie is the’
official who will present tbe bill to you,

Fisk’s Superb Bar-Room.
Thespians with enough money on hand
to pay for a drink sometimes drop into
tlie magnificent bar-room fitted up by
Ed. Stokes, of Jim Fisk antecedents. It
ishv long odds the most elaborate place
'of its kind in New York, and it may be
doubted if there is another equal to it in
tlio world. Tlio room is about fifty feet
square, with tins bar in the a Iddle.
This arrangements give tho bar two sides
instead <f one. The floor is covered with
carpeting fit for tbo best drawing-room
on Fifth avenue, rich but not bright in
color aud so thick that no footfall can be
heard. All tbe woodwork—bar chairs,
'tables, etc.—ls solid mahogany, richly
carved and giving a certain tone that no
other kind of wood imparts. 'W J iien
lighted up by magnificent crystal
chandeliers tbe effect is superb. Heavy
draperies and enormous tropical plants
add to the richness of the whole.
The walls contain several paintings,
of no particular merit, and some pieces
of statuary of very decided merit, stand
near the bar. One is a splendid marble
figure, life size, resembling tbe ligui'o
known as “California” in the Metro
politan Museum collection. Auother is
in bronze and lifts for its subject an erect
female figure, nude, like tbe one iu
marble, with the head of a satyr grin
ning < ivor her shoulder. There are othpr
sinking pieces, but theso.two are notably
so. Many of tbe regular frequenters of
the place are sporting men and stock
brokers. A Wall street firm lias an office
at one end of tlie room, and the sound
of the ticker is heard all day, —Hew York

Applied Theology.
At a meeting of the Woburn Confer
ence, Farmer Allen, of Wakefield, re
lated the following anecdote :
On Sunday morning, while a certain
deacon was preparing for church, a
wandering wayfarer, or, in modem par
lance, a tramp, appeared at liis door,
pleaded his hunger, and begged for
" something to eat. The deacon looked
solemn and frowningly, but reluctantly
got a loaf of bread and began to cut it;
but while doing so took occasion to nd
monkii tho beggar concerning the error
of liis ways. After reminding him that
it was the holy Sabbath which he was
desecrating, ho asked him if he knew
how to pray. “ No,” w*s the reply.
“Then,” said the deacon, “I’ll learn
you,” and he commenced to repeat the
Lord's prayer.
But just as he uttered the first words,
“ Our Father,” the beggar interrupted
him with the question, “What, is He
your Father and mine, too?”
“ Yes,” the deacon replied.
“Why,” exclaimed the boggar, “we
are brothers, then, ain’t we? Can’t you
cut that slice a little thicker?” —Albany

obliged to dnt the joke short, for one of
her suitors, aft r annexing a pair of can
