No Positive Proof of
Mankind’s Original Home
The mere fact that primitive types
of i " i: ' Ind have been found as far
apart ns Java, England and China
weans that these three divergent de
scendants of some common ancestor
had already wandered to the extreme
limits, east and west, of the great
continental land mass after they had
become differentiated In the process
of their evolution. Hence the fact of
their world wide wanderings Indicates
that none of these three places nec
essarily has any relationship at all
to the place of the original home of
mankind.
Ten years ago there was found in
Rhodesia the fossilized skull of a
primitive type of man which may have
survived In this part of the world un
til comparatively recent times; but
whether the actual example of Rho
desian man whose remains were
found in the Broken Hill mine Is an
cient or modern, lie certainly repre
sents an extremely primitive type of
the human family, possibly near akin
to the Heidelberg man whose jaw was
found In Germany In 1907. This biz
arre member of the human family Is
definitely distinct from all other
known types of extinct man. —New
York Times.
Whet, Wedding Without
Single Comic Feature!
The movie comedy director was sit
ting In the front row at his friend’s
wedding. He was in a bud humor, for
not a single usher was inebriated, and
the organist did not have an Adam's
apple that would have been funny in
a close-up. The bride entered se
dately, and the groom and best man
made their way to the altar without
mishap. The director began to writhe.
The bride wore a peach of a long
veil, but no one stepped on it. One
laugh after another spoiled! Evon
the minister failed, and held the
prayer book right side up.
It was getting unbearable. And
when the best man reached for the
ring and found it In the first pocket,
without fumbling, the director could
stand it no longer. Quite forgetting
himself, he leaped up and In a voice
of rage shouted: “Do that over!
Where do you think you are —In a
church?" —Kansas City Star.

Felt Call of Duty to
, Carry Gospel to Heathen
Two humble workmen, setting out
for an unknown country with just
thirty shillings between them —and
they changed the face of the world.
That is the romance behind our
modern foreign missions, which have
celebrnfed I heir two hundredth anni
versary. They date from 1732, when
Leonard Dober and David Nltschruann,
two working men, left the village of
Herrnhut, In Germany, to preach to
the slaves in the West Indies.
These pioneer missionaries were
Moravians, and for some time this
church was the oidy one—at least, in
the Protestant world—which regarded
preaching to the heathen as a reli
gious duty. In tlie years after 1732 its
missionaries went out to take the |
Gospel message to Eskimos, Red In
dians, Hottentots, and other primitive
peoples, until gradually the other [
Protestant churches followed the Mo
ravian example.
So, really, it is these two men —one
a carpenter and the other a potter—
whom we have to thank for our Prot
estant foreign missions.—London An

Childirh “Revenge” on
Too Dominant Parents
If the school-age child is guided in I
finding the answers to his own ques- j
Hons he makes a definite Intellectual
advance. If ttie adult utilizes the ques
tionings to exhibit his own wisdom the
child is likely to ask questions for their
effect upon the person questioned.
A child not permitted to solve his
own problems may find an excellent
revenge by asking questions until he
embarrasses his elders and forces
them to show their ignorance. One
little boy developed what appeared on
tlie surface as an insatiable curiosity
about history, but which, upon inves
tigation, proved to be an effective way
of humiliating a particularly dominant
mother. She was sensitive about her
ignorance of history, a fact that the
boy was not slow to discern.
It pays to tell a child when you do
not know and then to help him find
tlie answer. Be sure that his curiosity
is a real search for Information and
not a device to outwit others.- John
J. B, Morgan in the Parents’ Maga
zine.
The Hon.e
The true angel of the home Is not
justice, but charity. You may collect
a household, but you cannot build a
home on mere justice. The home as
an Institution will not exist a single
day without the presence of that which
“benreth all tilings, bopeth all things,
endureth all things.” Like un<pected
flowers which spring up along our
path, full of freshness, fragrance, and
beauty, so kind words and gentle nets
and sweet dispositions make glad the
sacred spot called home; and tlie heart
will ever turn longingly towards II
from all the tumult of the world.—E
Dresser.
Old Law. Suit Tribal Wive.
Companionate marriage is not want
ed by women of tlie “maternal kin
ship” tribe which has been found In
Assam. There , tlie woman proposes,
and If the man accepts he must live
wllli ids wife's people after the wed
ding. Tlie wife may divorce him when
she pleases, and she not only keeps
the children and her own property, but
her divorced husband’s property as
well. It he divorces her she gets the
children and his entire property just
the same.

First Settlers’ Wives
Paid For in Tobacco
The first permanent English settle
ment in tlds country’ was Jamestown,
Va., settled almost entirely by young
men who, for the most part, were mis
guided adventurers who expected to
stay in America a little while and then
return to England laden with gold and
silver like tlie Spanish conquisitadors.
In 1609 there were 200 men at
Jamestown, and only 40 acres of land
under cultivation; they had not come
for that. There was much discontent
and turbulence among them. To in
duce them to remain and cultivate tlie
tobacco which was already coming
Into demand in Europe, the London
company which had brought the young i
men. there finally made arrangements I
1 to send out a number of young women I
to be wives to them. In 1617 ninety !
respectable young women were sent
I out for tills purpose.
On reaching the colony these women
were allowed to make free choice
among the eligible bachelors. And
each young man who was thus suit
ed with a wife bound himself to send
to tlie company in London 150 pounds
of tobacco to pay the cost of bringing
his indy to the colony. Within two
years 150 young women had been sent
out in tills way, and were comfortably
I settled in new homes.

Their Refuge Found in
Blessed Tonic of Work
How was Dante comforted when
Beatrice died? He lost himself in his
work. How were Charles and Mary
Lamb comforted during those awful
days when life’s blackest cloud hung
gloomily over them? Those who have
read their books know. And who can
forget that scene under the great
baobab tree in the heart of Africa
when David Livingstone laid the body
of his wife to rest? His Journal be
came a broken-hearted moan, a pitiful
sob. For the first time in bis life, he
says that he would be content to die.
But see! “For sucli comfort us could
be obtained in those dark days he
turned again to Ills work.” So says
his biographer. And see what he says
himself: “The sweat of one’s brow,"
he writes, “is no longer a curse; II
proves a tonic." —F. W. Boreham.

Bell Manufacture
The metal from which bells are usu
ally made (by founding) is an alloy,
called bell-metal, commonly composed
of 80 parts of copper and 20 of tin.
The proportion of tin varies, however,
from one third to one fifth of the
weight of tlie copper, according to the
sound required, the size of the bell and
the Impulse to be given. The elearnw;
and richness of the tone depends upon
tlie metal used, the perfection of Its
casting and also upon Its shape, it hav
ing been shown by a number of experl
i ments that the well known shape with
. a thick lip is the best adapted to give
a perfect sound. The depth of the
tone of a bell Increases In proportion
to Its size.

Persistent Peas
PEAS can persist practically all
the way through the meal,
and are equally good in al
most any course. You can start
a dinner, for instance, with this
Cream of Carrot and Pea Soup:
Make a white sauce of two table
spoons butter, one tablespoon
flour and three cups milk. Press
the contents of an 11-ounce can
of peas through a sieve, reserving
a few for garnishing. Add the
pureed peas and the pea liquor to
the white sauce. Add one-fourth
cup carrot pulp, boiled and
pressed through a sieve. Season
to taste, and add the whole peas.
Serves six.
Combine Two P’s
Or, if you want your pea dish
a little later in your dinner, try
combining peas and pineapple in
Pea Puff with Pineapple: Drain
the peas from a No. 2 can and
press them through a sieve. Make
a thick white sauce of four table
spoons butter, four tablespoons
flour and one cup milk, and add
the pea pulp. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Add three well
beaten egg yolks, and fold in three
stiffly-beaten egg whites. Pour
into a buttered baking dish, and
set in a pan of hot water. Bake
in a moderate oven—3so° to 375°
—until set and a delicate brown
—about twenty-five to thirty min
utes. While baking, cook together
until rich .and thick two table
spoons butter and the contents of
an 8-ounce can of crushed
Hawaiian pineapple. Spread this
over the baked puff, and serve at
once. This makes eight to ten
servings.*
