Professor 'rung, of the University of Guile Switzerland, entertains great fears concern ng the future of our low- er limbs. This sage is of the opine 1 n that within the next thousand years human beings will have forgot- ten haste tot use their legs, and that th.ese Irtabe, if evolution will not do away with there, will serve as mere oraa.ments to the rest of the body. Professor Yung states tb.at at the pre - tent age batman beings show a decid- ed aversion to personal or physical e, locomotion, and this is more manifest t • every time a new automatic travelling instrument is invented and render- ed practical. Steam, eleetricity, cable power and the dieferent velocipede ma- chines all bear tut influence over us and create a dislike for walking, and the future generations will likely have the oenvenienee of eteerable air- s at their windows and electric au - 105 at their doors, and these con - will be so cheap that almost every on '• can own them, and this -loans the doom of our legs! The latter will be regarded as super- fluous appendages, ao use will be made et them, and who knows but -that they may disappear altogether ? put so much more will our arm develop In Length and strength. ,These are the cruel laws of evolu- tion, and it will be due to their pranks that future generations will againre- ereble the apes..

There is a man -who says: "Because I waited for a revival be- fore I come to Christ." What do you call this? During the past ten • yeats we have had perpetual revival. The constant 'cry among the people has been:, "Which is the way to hea- ven?"

There, the occupants at one time were nightfy persecuted by ghostly visitants,,who whiled away the tine by, pelting the family, not- withstanding closed doors and win- dows, with chunks of iron, stone, rocks, oranges, lemons, or etealie-cobs. Occasionally the amusement was V ATI - ed.
