there are some places it is impossible to heat, prop

It may be the bedrooms, bathroom or den. You

WHEN FACING DEATH. '
Pain or Fright, It Would Appear, la
Rarely Frmnt. ,
A distinguished . British physician
who baa been t some pains to collect
data on Ibe subject asserts that few
persona about to die bare really any
fear of dissolution. There Is cited the
case of the African explorer who was
partially devoured by a Uon. 0 de

THE AGE OF MAN.
Science Places It Between 400,000 and
3X100,000 Years.
It ia quite possible, said Professo A.
Keith In a lecture to the British as
sociation at Dundee, that man aa we
know Dim now took on bla human
characteristics somewhere near the
beginning of the pliocene period, and
while the exact date is simply a guess
the- best estimates available indicate
1.4U8.0U0 11. C aa not tar from tbe
truth. If the evidence of the flint j
collectors ia Accepted aa authentic. I
pliocene man is a iHissiliililv. '
Professor Keith was sure we had
traced ourselves buck to the middle of
the pleistocene, when we were ac
companied by another form of man
almost us distinct from us as the
gorilla is from the chimpanzee. At the
U'f:iiiiiiiiK of the pleistocene then'
were lit least two varieties of man
the pre ne:i;id( rtMVoi l of Heiileilieri'
and the s:siall brained man of .lava-'
lint the "representative of modem iu.:n
lit that early period'' has not us yet
been found.
if the claims of M. itulot are accept
ed. the antiquity of man is at least
S.tsm.iKKi years. Aei-onling to Professoi
Keith, the orthodox ilir which presum
ably lie meant scientifically orthodox,
opinion is that "the duwn of the very

"Jlip Idea 1 wish l leave In your

conclusion, "that in the distant past
there was not one kind, but a iiuiutr

The Human Voice.
One's surprise ut the fact that no two
persons' voices are perfectly alike
ceases when one is informed by an au
thority on the subject that, though
there are only nine erfect tones lu
the human voice, there Is the astound

Unconscious Sarcasm.
A Scotch visitor to the Carlyles, in
Cheyne row. was much struck with
the soundproof room which the saKc
bad contrived for himself In the attic,
lighted from the top. and where no
sl'ht or sound from ontside could petie
trate. "My certes. this is fine!" erred
the old friend, with unconscious sar
chsui. "Here ye may write and stod
all the rest of your life and no human
being is? one bit tbe wiser."
Not to B Bitten.
Andrew t'herry. the actor, once re
