Civilization and science hold a serious grievance against the prehistoric Baia, RECOMMENDS granting, of course, that there was such an individual, They have sought for hini high and low, but without success. They have dug for him in gravel banks, dredged Ifor him in swamps, explored me: him in caves and ransacked the four corners of the earth to discover his hiding place, only to be baffled in every quest. If the pre- historic gentleman is a reality and not a fraud ora myth he should kindly come to the surface and permit himself to be dis- covered. At present he is an object of suspicion and of doubt, and if he has any regard for his own reputation as our oldest inhabitant he will lose no time in coming forward and establishing his identity. The department of archaeology of the University of Pennsylvania has made still further advances in its search for prehis- toric man in the United States. The ex- plorations of last summer along the Dela• ware Valley -determined the department on a new course of investigation. Instead of trying to trade how far back man existed from gravel cuts and mounds, it was de- cided to investigate in naves. For this purpose a party, headed by H. C. Mercer, started for the caves of Texas and Ten- nessee about two weeks ago. Their in- vestigations proved to- be important, In the caves of Texas it had been asserted that human remains had been found, with which were found shells and pieces of pottery. Thinking a clew of the period might be found the party .explored caves in Duval county and Bee county, Texas, but discovered that the remains were found in one layer, while the shells and, pottery occuqied a higher lay- er, but had fallen down by the; gradual caving of the bank, so that nothing important resulted. In Tennessee, how- ever, some important (discoveries were made. The Nickajack and Lookout caves, near Knoxville, were thoroughly explored, and human remains were found, while in the same layer were found bones of the deer, tortoise, elk, rabbit, raccoon, soft shelled turtle, catfish, opossum, spade - footed toad, wildcat, wild turkey, squirrel and others, besides seven species univalve shells. There is no question but that man was associated with these animals, as but one layer exists, and the bones have been positively • identified by Professor E. D. Cope. The most interesting feature, however, was the discovery in the same layer of the bones of the extinct peccary, which have also been found in New Jersey, and also of two teeth of the tapir. The character of the other relics proved the cave to be in- habited by Indians, while the fact that but one layer exists leads to the belief that they had no predecessors in that region. The discovery of the tapir adds one to the list of animals extinct in that region, and dates t ie Indian furtherrbaok than had previously been discovered.

B. MoGOVVAN, I D S. Dr. W. B. McGowan, L.D.S., dentist, 65 Mansfield Street, Montreal, is one :of the most experienced and best known practi- tioners in Montreal. For over twenty years he has successfully pragticed his profession in the metropolis of Canada, and few men have ever attained a greater reputation. Di McGowan is an honest and fearless sup- . porter of all that is good and great—all that tends to the welfare of suffering humanity. Professional men, like others,' have their weeks and months of suffering; they are sub- ject to the same troubles that overtake the ordinary men and women. When oppress- ed with dyspepsia and all its attendant woes, Dr. McGowan wisely used Paine's Celery Compound, with the result that he was perfectly cured. Animated with a de- sire to benefit others, he writes ae follows: "At this time when the public (especially that portion of it who suffer) have before them so many medicines and proprietary 4,0 preparations, it is well that all should know just what to use in order that they may be speedily cured and made well, with the least possible qutlay of money.

Cold boiling water, indeed! Boiling water is the hottest kind of thing. Don't I know? Haven't I scalded my fingere,. emorekhan once with wat -frond"the tea- kettles?" The speaker was right, and yet, accord• ing to the New Orleans Times -Democrat, he was wrong. Boiling water is not always very hot water, in spite of his painful ex- perience. When water boils ordinarily it is because great heat has separated the tiny particles of the water, forcing upward and outward in lively bubbles the air which is contained in them. This is done in spite of the downward pressure of the atmosphere. After the water has become hot enough to boil it can get no hotter, because the air -escapes as fast as it is sufficiently heated to do so. There are places on the earth where the pressure of the atmosphere upon the water is so slight that it requires but little -heat to push apart the particles and set free the air bobbles which are confined in the water, so it begins to boil before it gets very hot. It ought hardly to be called cold water, perhaps, but it is certainly far from being as hot as ordinary boiling water. - This state of things is found on all high moun- tain tops, as the atmosphere grows weaker and its pressure less as one ascends. A gentleman traveling at a great elevation in the Andes Mountains put some potatoes in a pot of water over a hot fire. The water began to boil almost immediately, but the potatoes did not cook. All the afternoon and all night the water bubbled and boiled, but still the potatoes were not cooked. The boiling water was not hot enough. Bible Confirmed by Discovery. Infidelsbelieve some statements in the Bible to be made out of whole cloth, Scep- tics accept the book as far as " their ren• son " permits; like a woman who was re- lating a runaway, and said she " trusted in Providence—till the harness broke. Some Christians look upon the Scriptures as a child does the science of electricity. They cannot see the why and the where- fore, but suppose they will understand some day. But time and again discovery blows a bugle pall of victory. The advance of science is a Juggernaut that crushes un- derneath its wheels the captives of unbe- lief and denial. For example, the descrip- tion of the armour worn by Goliath is con- sidered a little "stretched's' by the incre- dulous. Of course, 208 pounds for a:coat of mail was a little more than modern war- riors can carry, A spearhead weighing 25 pounds required a mighty arm to wield it effectively. But along comes discovery with " the colossal head of an immense lance," found in an ancient Armenian royal palace. Its breadth is five and a half in- ches, its length 314 inches, with six holes by which it was fastened to its shaft. The Old Testament story is not so bad after all. Besides, news is continually flashed over the wire of archaeological discoveries which confirm the Bible history. Every find in this century has been like a lightning bolt, to strike into everlasting annihilation the doubts and quibbles of the infidel or the agnostic. Velocipede Chairs In Paris, An invention which will drive the poor cabbies of Paris almost entirely out of the field is Bertoux's velocipede chair. In thio chair ladies can be wheeled all over town by their gallants without sacrifice to their modesty. Any bicycle can be transformed into a cabriolet with this chair. The ap- paratus consists of a lightly built and com- fortable coach seat with a wheel on the right hand side to which a wagon pole is fulcrumed that can he screwed to the hind wheel of any bicycle. The lady mounts the seat and her escort on the right sup• plies the motor power on his.. wheel, and can entertain her most pleasantly besides, An Accomplished Insect.

One of the principal natural attrac- tions in the vicinity of Ottawa is the Chaudiere Falls, of which the princi- pal cataract is nearly 50 feet high and , 240 Net wide. A considerable portion of the waters escape subterraneously after their precipitation. A light su- spension bridge has been thrown over the falls, connecting the city of Ot- tawa with the town of Hull, and mar= vellous slides have been constructed for the descent of the timber that is hewn upon the banks of the upper Ottawa and its tributary waters. One of the correct things for visitors to Ot- tawa in the summer season to do is to run these slides upon a crib of timber, and considering the velocity of the de- scent and the ever-present element of danger, the venture cans.titutes an ex- ceedingly thrilling and sensational ex- perience. "GRIN LIKE A CHESHIRE CAT." "Well, well ! Didn't ever hear of a 'grin like a Cheshire cat?' Why, you see, a man down in Cheshire had a oat which grinned and grinned until there was nothing left of the oat but the grin, just as some scrofulous people, who don't know of Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, get a cough, and then cough and cough until there is nothing left of them to erect a monument to but the cough." The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the most effective, anti -bilious, anti -dyspeptic, strength -giving remedy extant. For weak lungs, lingering couchs, spitting of blood, serofnla; leateff pimples and ulcers, it is a wonderful and efficacious remedy. Its manufacturers guarantee it to do all that they claim, or money is returned. Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation, piles, sick headache, and indigestion or dy- spepsia. Premier Fielding of Nova Scotia made so good an impression uppn the Liberals of the Dominion at the Ottawa Convention last year, that theopinion wad generally ex- pressed that he should be in Dominion politics. Since his victory in the Provinci• al elections last week, the idea has been repeated in many Ontario papers, The Stratford Beacon says the announcement that Mr Fielding will shortly resign the premiership -now that his administration has been so handsomely endorsed—to his able colleague, Attorney -General •Longley, and seek election to the Dominion Parlia- ment, . would be no great surprise. Mr Fielding's abilities are required in thelarger field, and as he has reached the top of the ladder in his native Province and can safe- ly leave its affairs in Mr Longley's hands, he could well afford to make the change. We have many able Liberals in the Domin- ion Parliament from the Eastern Provinces, but we cannot have too many of Mr Field- ing's worth and standing. His translation to Ottawa would be welcomed by the Liberals of the whole Dominion. "When 9 was a Boy," Writes Postmaster J. C. WoonsoN, Forest Hill, W. "Va., "I had a bron- chial troublo of such a persistent and stubborn character, that the doctor pronounced it incurable with ordinary medicines, and advised me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and one bottle cured me. For the last fifteen years, I have used this preparation with good effect whenever I take A Bad Cold, and I know of numbers of people who keep it in the house all the time. not considering it safe to be with- out it." "I have been using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my family for 30 years, with the most satisfactory results, and can cheerfully recommend it as being espe- cially adapted to all pulmonary com- plaints. I have, for many years, made pulmonary and other medicines a special study, and I have comp to the conclusion that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral occupies a position pre-eminent over other medi- cines of the class."—Chas.
