OLEO.
(Bill Bert, Rights Reserved, in Brock-
ville Recorder -Times.)
When butter jumped to sixty cents
And cheese to thirty-five,
Wheu beet and bacon leaped tho
fence
(That Is, in a financial sense)
In clover big,h to thel ye,
(Till we could scarCely afford a bite
To satisfy our appetite),
'Twas then we loolted.around
To see what could be found
To eat, at not too high a price,
.And also fairly good and nice,
When lo, upon the scene
Came Oleo Margarine.
Sweet Oleo! Dear Oleo! -
Some eald more dear than sweet,
But laying prejudice aside
And nooketing our r adore wide,
We bought a pound to eat:
And to our glad surprise
It drove away our sighs,
Dispeed our fears, dried up our tears
And caused our hopes to rise,
All critioism it disarms.
For Oleo has many charms
To tame one -savage. 'human breast
And suit tee most feetidlous guest,
ke
Dear Margarine! Sweet elarearine!
And not less sweet than dear.
Nicely encased, You suit out taste
Though some may think it queer,
Yes..some may laugh mid jeer
And say we're not sineere.
But if twin baby girls we had
' And choice of names was left to
dad. , •
(With Mrs. BerVe 'consent, you know),
This novel mune delights him so.
(Far more than Rose and Jean),
He'd call the one plain Oleo.
The other Margarine.
Sweet Oleo! Dear elargarluel-
Three syllables in each -
One is the apple of oily eye.
(At meal time always sitting by
Beside a nice dried -apple dee).
The other is a peach -
As fair and luseious, too,- I Wean:
But there is none when joined in
one
Like Oleomargarine -
A classic name that merits fame,
And fit for any queen.
Now with a courtesy low and neat
We lay thisetribute itt thy feet,
Dear Oleomargarine. •

Question of Age of the Race Still
Discussed by Academicians.
The date of the angel of the human
species, by each new discovery of miss-
ing chapters in Re history, is shifted
to a more and Ettore remote time. The
Neanderthal skull which by its prom-
inent supraorbital ridges, its length
and flattening from above downward,
seemed to link man closely, if loosely,
to the, higher apeti, still hatl a brain
capacity quite equal to that of the
aterage Modern man, and on this
at:fount voluted to a still more remote
beginning of the human being. The
braiu of the Neanderthal man wee not
only largo, but elaborate, and 4,
shown by the remains of his culture,
he possessed fire and made tilut
implements. Though ancient, he was
anything but an ape.
The Heidelburg skull, which reSen1.
bles the Neanderthal remains, but watt
satin. more markedly simian in general
featurea, had also a eapaelOne brain
case, and is believed to have belonged
to a, creature with comparatively high
mental development. The Neanderthal
man is placed some 300.000 years back,
while the Ifeidelbere skull is pre-
sumed to date to it doubly remote
time.
The rellistorie remains found les
Ur. Dubois in " Java, the bones of
Pitheeantaropus, as he has been called
were of decidedly earlier geological
date, as indicated both by their sup,
roundings and by their own featorese
the break caSe was small and the
cranial traits were otherwise more
apelike than those of any other known
remains. All the structural characters
of Pithecanthropus, so far as we
know them, are etactly of the kind
we expect to find lit the early 'enees-
tral types of man. The unearthing of
the Java man pushed the date for the
origin of the human type baelowerd
another period of a few huntlree thou-
sand years. Or into the Miocene epoch
of geological time.
The eltain linking Modern man de
reedy with an early type tinnier to
the gorilla or chimpanzee seemed to
be growing strong until in 1912, the
belies of an ancient Man of another
were discovered in England in
the Pittdowe Cave. Title, according to
Dr. Andrew Keith, who is as great
An authority es can be found, is the
oldest specimen of true humanity yet
enecoyered. The brain of tide being
was in size, at least, up to the meeern
Stendard, but otherwise the beim are
othe mod simian recorded."
According to Dr, Keith's reasoning.,
we can no longer consider all these
ancient remains as linking us iu one
line with our epelike ancestor, but In
the deetoration of the family tree the
