MAN'S ORIGINAL HOME.
K Belief That Huninn Life Megan In One of
the Platenui of Aria.
Eden, according to tho provnlcnt
Idea of tho teaching of tho Bible, was
district of Armenia, wntorod by the
Tigris and Euphrates. Tho Biblical
narrative in fact mentions tho Eu
phrates as one of tho rivers of Eden.
Undoubtedly, in tho common bollof,
Paradise was In Asia and not in Europe
or Africa. A fow ingenious persons,
it is true, havo located man's birth
placo in Europe or Africa, somo hav
ing tho hardihood to establish it in
America, but those who havo made
tho most fanciful use of tho scanty
evidence supplied by tho second chap
tor of Genesis havo been content usu
ally to find tho "garden eastward in
Eden," within tho limits of Asia,
Scientists, who hold a special view
respecting tho modo of man's origin,
aro approaching, it is pleasant to ob
serve, agreement with tho gonoral
view as to Its plnco. In his new work
on evolution Mr. Alfrod Wallace, who
may bo said to rank with Darwin as
tho creator of tho now viow of tjio
origin of species, expresses tho belief
that man originated in ono of tho
plateaus of Asia. Ilncckol's viow was
somewhat different. IIo hold that
man, or his progenitor, originated in(a
continent that once oxlstod oast of
Africa and south of Asia, but which is
at present tho bed of tho Indian
Ocean. This contlnont, he supposed,
waB connected on tho wost with Mada
gascar and Africa and on tho
north with Asia, nnd it was
by succcsslvo migrations westward
nnd northwnrd that Africa and
ABla wcro peopled. Hero in a tropical
region, according to Haockcl, woro
found tho conditions which fnvored tho
intellectual and physical development
of tho progenitor of tho human and
tho monkey races. Wallace holds, on
tho contrary, that man originated in
Asia, and In somo part of it favored
with a tomponito or sub-tropical cli
mate. "It is probable." ho says, "that
ho began his oxlstonco on tho open
plains of high plntoaus of tho tompor
nto or sub-tropical zone, whoro tho
seed of Indigenous eorenls nnd Humor
ous horbivnrn, rodents and game birds,
with fishes and inolluslcs in tho lakes
nnd rivers and seas, supplied him with
nn nbundanco of varied food." Hero
ho would dovolop not tho arboreal
Ktruoturo of tho
hands nnd feet for
fruit from trees by
monkoy, fitted In
obtaining rlponod
climbing, but tho
structuro that fitted him to got his liv
ing while roaming through scanty
woods. Mr. Wallace finds man related
to tho anthropoid npo. It Is not his
hollof, of eourso, that ho is dosconded
from tho npo as wo know him, but that
man and the anthropoid ape are de
scended from a common ancestor. Tho
gonoalogical tree of man and tho ape,
according to tho evolutionist view, has
many brnnohes, widely separated for
nges past, but If tho converging linos
could bo followed back far enough, a
point, it is believed, would ultimately
bo ronchod whoro tho son who was tho
first ancestor of man was tho brothor
of tho ancestor of tho anthropoid apo.
Tho father of thorn both was, of
course, neither man nor apo. It was
his sons who. differing much in
character, forco and progress
Ivcness, developed In them
selves nnd in succeeding gen
erations tho structuro and qualities
that now distinguish man and tho ape
from each other. To Mr. Wallace it
is clear that man and tho anthropoid
npos originated In tho same region of
tho earth. Whoro, then, havo tho
latter boon found to bo now existing,
or to havo existed in former ages?
Thoy havo never existed, Itappoars, in
America, and did not oxlst in Africa
when it was eonnootod with Madagas
car and both were separated from
Asia. Madagascar was separated from
Africa hoforo tho latter became joined
with Asia by tho Isthmus of Suez. Tho
animals of ancient Africa are therefore
to bo sought In Madagascar. Hut
thoro nro no traces of anthropoid npos
In Madagascar. Those, therefore,
which now exist In Africa must havo
come from Asia. Thoro Is proof that
man existed before tho Isthmus of
Sue, rose above tho level of tho sea,
uud, supposing his distribution to have
been like that of his supposed relative,
ho must havo reached Africa by land
from Asia. Tho color of tho China
man, intermediate botwoon the black
of Africa and the white of Europe, Mr.
Wnllaco thinks, tho original color of
man. Tho suns of Africa obonlzod tho
complexion of tho African, while the
winters of Europe woro blanching tho
European. Further exploration of tho
plateaus of Central Asia may bring to
light, Mr. Wallace suggos, tho early
man, tho missing link, whoso persist
ent alibi, so to speak, is so damaging
to tho case of tho evolutionist. Balti

Blood in Milk. The presence
or red blood corpuscles in the milk is in
dicative of disorder of the granular sub
stance of the udder, which tnav be of
various kinds. Tho globules or small
divisions of the milk glands consist of
vesicles which contain the globules of fat
that are found in the milk or cellular sub
stance, among which the capillary or ex
ceedingly fine blood vessels ramify veiv.
closely. As these vesicles break down
and decompose to form the milk, carry-1
ing with them the fat globules, and are
quickly replaced by new structure, it is
readily perceived that it is very easy for i
the capillary vessels, which contribute'
through the blood both the albuminous,
matter and the fat globules to form these
t vesicles, to discharge blood under un-
favorable ciicumstances by which any
injury may be done or any excitement of
the circulation or inflamatory or conges
tive condition may be produced. Many
causes may thus contribute to this defect
in the milk, and it is difficult to state, oi
even guess, what the causes may bo.
: Tho remedy is to soothe and allay the
excited circulation by cooling, laxative
I medicine, and emollient and cooling ap-i
plication to the udder. A pound of Ep-.
soni solts is generally useful, and warm
fomentation of the udder, with a follow-
i ing application of some gentle stimulant, ,
as camphorated soap liniment. j
Don't Stint the Calves. A calf is worth
nearly as much as a cow. Not that it
will bring as much money, but at a very
small Mitlay it will be brought to a cow, j
and if well fed and cared for it will make
a good cow. Tho best of all grain foods ,
for a calf is bran, and although the stand
ard feeding tables give rye bran a higher
value than wheat braii, the latter is con-
aiderably the better food. Wheat bran
contains more than three per cent, of
sugar, and ryo bran less than ono per
cent. Sugar being wholly digestible and
easily changed into vital heat, wheat bran
is a good food for young animals in the
winter. At tho same price per pound as
corn it is worth twice as much, not only
for its nitrogen, but for the phosphates it
contains and which go to make up bone.
This is tho reason of its hiirh value for
feeding young stock, colts and pigs as
well as calves. It is a safe food. No one
ever hurt his animals by giving them
too much bran. It has every element of
hav and corn combined, but while it is
good food it should bo used iudiciousiv.
A calf six or eight months old will do
well on two jvounds daily of it, which,
costing 2 cents, is very cheap feeding.
The very best of tho hav should be re-1
served for tho calves, and with bran it
will causo the young things to growi
steadily.
Tall and Dwarf Peas. There aro those
witli round and those with wrinkled
seeds. The round seeded are the earliest
and hardest. A popular variety is Dan
iel O'Bourke, known also as early Ken
tish, and by as many other names as
there aro seedsmen, each one of which
has nis Earliest of All, mos of which ro
essentially tho same. Of the wrinkled
kinds Champion of England is the best
known, the standard with which all
others will bo compared. Tno felephouo
is very large and flue. Luzon's Alpha

need sticks or some kind of trellis for
support, as thev grow three tett or more 1
d iur
in height. In viow of the trouble of nro-1
curing brush and staking the taller
kinds, dwarf kinds are very papular.
Tho vines are from 10 to is Miches high
and require no staking, ino best of
these is tho American Wonder, and there
are numbers of others. Some of thesn
yield their whole crop at one picking.

used, it should be a soft one, but it is bet

with another piece of clean flannel or

thoroughly dry, apply to it some

warm linseed oil. The housekeeper who
tries this for the first time will probably
use too much, and make the cloth so
sticky that every particle of dust will ad

giving it a handsome gloss. The linseed
oil will do more harm than good unless

ings will look old, and the housekeeper
should be cautious about washing when
dusting will answer just as well.
