Schloth has received from a friend in Savannah, Din, a long and small spearhead, a small knife, an awl and a, needle taken from one of the pre historic mounds near that city.

They have been hammered out and tem pered, and after having been buried in a mound for no one knows how long still ^retain their temper. The mound builders, who had disappeared from the face of the earth before Columbus dis covered this country, knew how to tem per copper, an art which no man on earth has now, although many have en deavored for years to discover the. proc ess. Such specimens are found in but few of the mounds opened, the imple ments found being generally of stone.

But the end is not yet Fanna and flora are here, and, thankw to La marck and Wallace and Darwin, their development, through the opegatiofl of those “secondary causes'' which we call laws of nature, has been proximal- ly explained. The lowest forms of life have been linked with the highest in unbroken chains of descent. Meantime, through the efforts of chemists and biologists, thegapbetween the inorganic and vthe organic worlds, which once seemed almost infinite, has been con stantly narrowed. Already philosophy can throw a bridge across that gap. But inductive science, which builds its own bridges, has not yet spanned the chasm, small though it appear. Until it shall have done so the bridge of organic evo lution is not quite complete, yet even as it stands today it is the most stupen dous scientific structure of our century. —Henry ' Smith Williams, M D., in Harper’s Magazine Absolutely Pure Dressmaking Miss Lizzie Sharp has od making parlor at 42 North] Perfect fitting, neatly fcj guaranteed, having badsj in the art.

Mam He Conferred"an Honor Upon HU Friend, Senator Fessenden. The old senator was a great story teller and related many interesting and humorous accounts of whajb he had seen in public life. One of his favorite sto ries was at the expense of Senator Fes senden, a warm personal friend. The judge and Senator Fessenden had been appointed oh a commission, with several others, to treat with the various chiefs of the Sioux Nation on an important In dian question of the day. It was long before railways had been introduced into the far west, and the members of the commission had to travel on horse back. Judge Doolittle was chairman of the commission, bat at the conference shifted that duty to the shoulders of Senator Fessenden. The latter was high ly pleased at the honor conferred on him and much “puffed up*’ in consequence. The judge had method in his madness, however, for. he had heard of thp pe culiar reception tendered by the Indians to the spokesman of any party of visit ing whites.

Some years ago, according to the Bos ton Transcript, an inventor who had de vised a new sleeping car took his plans to Mr. Pullman. The latter, after look-* ing over them, said: “There is an idea there. I will give you $100,000 cash for your patents. ’* The inventor was a poor man, and he would not accept the terms He said that if the idea was worth $100,000 to Pullman it was worth millions, to him.

A little east end maiden of 6 sum mers, whose clever sayings are the de light of her friends, recently dined with an aunt.
