A Boy with a Tail.

receat discovery of a boy a tail, or what appears to the State of Paraguay, bas piven fresh life to the theories of which the late Dr. Darwin namely, that lords of quadrumenal system, | were descended from the noble race of'| simie. The unfortunate Isle of Man, | that plesantly situated spot in the midst | ofthe Irish Channel, is thus again mace the point of disputation amongst | es of deceased naturalists. Two! reasons have prominently brought the | 1 island into mentionia | It is|

tien ofthe namo “Man” in connection | with the isle is the chief point of argu

ment. The island was known to the} ancients as “Mona,” and Darwinians| might jump to the conclusion that it was so called from. the} Spanish word mona, a monkey. | It has frequently been called the|

“Island of Monkeys.’ But the ancient | name of the island had the penuligmate| short, whereas the Spanish wor tor | monkey is long ; hence it may be more fairly premised that the word came from the Greek—monos,a monk, as the island was well known to have been a refuge for anchori‘es. To account for the modern appellation two derivatives sug- gest themselyes, First, “Man” may with great prebability be considered to be u corruption of the word mona, mon, man, or it may be a corruption of man- nin, a little island—by which it was known to the early Britons, and which we find Latinized into mauavia by Orosius. The absurdity ot alluding to the Mona of Tacitus as the present Isle of Man is ridiculous; for we are told by

Suetonius that his men sWam out and charged the island. Now no one can believe that he

could have persuaded even ‘his choicest uuXiliaries, even his gallant 11th,” to swim the sixty miles of water which separate “Man” from the mainland. The Mona of Tacitus was Anglesey, sometimes known as Southern Mona, also a refuge from the Druids of old, a circumstance which favors the deriva- tion of the word from the Greek,rather than the Spanish source. Darwin was by no means the originator of this theory in connection with the Isle of Man, as Snorrwich, an ancient bard, traces our development from the noble simi through the quadrumana into man — The Week. ann oe Oleomargarine.

Dairy farmers and others not interest- ed in its manufacture and sale,have said several times that oleomargarine must go. But it hes aot gone. A committee of the United States senate has been investigating this matter,and according to their report the bogus batter is un- suspectingly consumed by agreat part of the people ofthe States. This the dairymen are plentifully aware of. The lessening demand for the pure article is to them sufficient evidence that their trade is in great danger. Hence their uttempt to drive out of market this base imitator. The job they have under- taken though is no easy one. Oleomar- garine has a firm foothold; it has ap -

parently come with the intention of staying. What it is made ofand how it is made, have been set forth by the senate committee, and all who have read have concluded, that as an article of diet, it is not to be desired. Yet so much like the real is the bogus, that it has been devoured in enormous quan- tities by the people,and these same people have been well satisfied up to this time. But now that the investigat- ing committee, has told them that they have been using this terrible oleomar- gurine right along, they begin to feel sick. The unctuous substance which, in their ignorance, they imagined came direct from the finest Jerseys, has net, after all, been butter, but oleomargarine direct from the factory, whore such re- fuse as cannot be utilized inthe manu. facture ef car axle grease is so deftly turned to profit. And they have re- solved that henceforward they shall not bedeceived. So successfully have the manufacturers done their work of imi- tation, that it is almost impossible for any but a scienitfic man to detect the spurious article. Indeed many take it in preference to the Simon pure, But then, they irom who the purchase is made,do not call it oleomargarine, otherwise the customer would not be long in making a choice. A chemical upalysis haeshown that it is not un—| wholesome—it certainly cannot be poisonous, or it would have much to! dinswer for. If itis as the chemists say, then it is just possible that it may be the dairy farmers who must prepare to depart. However, with the committee's report before them, the public will noi tackle kindly to eleomargarive, but they Wiil continue using it as heretofore, taking the benefit of the doubt as to what they are really eating.

EXPERIENCE,

The Rev. Z. P. Wilds, well-known city missionary in New York, and brother of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes as follows:

I was also a sufferer from 9 severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; m appetite was poor, and my system a qual deal run down. Knowing the value of AY@R’S SARSAPARILLA, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years, | began taking ‘t for the above-named disorders. My appetite im- proved almost from the first dose. After a short time the fever and itching were allayed, and all signs ef irritation of the } skin disappesred. My catarrh and cough | were also eured by the same means, and my general health greatly imgeoved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per eent stronger, and I attribute these results to the use of the SARSAPARILLA, which I recommend with all confidence as the best bloed medicine ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all, less than two bottles, dynes these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do g * Yours respectfully, Zz. P.
