“THE STORY OF MAN.

1T IS TOLD BY HIS BONES, THE TOOLS HE USEO AND HIS MONUMENTS.

The Varied Sciences Which Aid the Stu- dent Who Examines Them—There Are Ologies That Must Be Studied and Their Frinciples Applied to Things Discovered. Man leaves behind him when he dies bis bones, bis tools and his monuments, and these are the things from which have been derived all the items of our knowledge of him and his progress up to the time when he learned to write. And even in the historic age the story would be much less complete but for his inscriptions, his art and hie relics. Bones are of the gr rtance, for oftentimes man has left no tokens of his existence behind him. The

erefore, to the archwolo-

reatest im px

first study, ¢! gist is that of the comparative anatomy of the human race. It is necessary to distinguish human bones from those of animals, to study racial characters and to determine the sex. Skulls must be studied with the greatest minuteness, for in them lie some of the most im por- tant evidences of origin and pr It is desirable also to study the animals, for the bones of men are und intermingled with those of the animals that he had slain or that bavec him, and in the cases where the animal is one now extinct a guess at the

un-

tiquity of man’s relics may be made. The tools which served in the rude arts of early man were first cf stone,

roughly fashioned to the needs of the work, and later of metal. Mineralogy is therefore an important study to tho archwologist. The stone relics furnish a rough index to the amount of civiliza- tion; they indicate in a crude way the extent of intercommmunication; they bow how new ideas came to races; they serve in a@ manner to distinguish between differemt grades of antiquity, and in many wsys they are important. The mineralogist who finds ccpper nug- gets in the graves of North Carolina prehistoric Indiaus knows that these men had some manner of communica- tion with the great lakes.

A knowledge of zoology is requisite too. The preserice of the horseshoe crab in legends and traditions of the tribes of our arid west could have been guessed at only by one with acute perception, and the finding of cne of the shells asa ietich of one ef the tribes was a bright exploit. It was evident that this rei bad madeits jovruey from hand to hand over 2,000 or 3,000 miles of country at a time when it wus exceedingly wild.

Then there are the shell ornaments. The present craze for the river pearl is no rew thing. .As far back as there is any evidence of the preferences of man the lustrous river shells have been at- tractive to him, aud the distribution of them has heen exceedingly wide.

Then there is the pottery. Here one must study the heginnings of the useful arts. He must know bow the pots are made, Low in lieu or in advance of the potter's wheel+tbe aborigines bad a number of ingenious ways of revolving the vessel, how with fingers and combs and a hundred otber implements the primitive decoration was incised and how with clays and ores of iron the first crude colors were mado wherewith to paint the earthenware. This study of old pots is exceedingly interesting and ot the highest impcrtance. The materi- als are imperishable, and, while the vessels in a whole conditicn are rare, the fragments indicate the more impor- tant clements in the story. In the shapes of the vessels there is rudimentary art in form, while in the decoration there are the beginnings of painting ard scn!p- tare. In the painted or incised figures there is the key to relationships in tribes, races and religions.

Closely allied is the art of carving, the finishing and ornamenting of tools and implements. Amd there are besides the textiles, and, although the primitive loom is an xtremely simple which the savage nutions have evolved or copied into very similar forms, still the materials employed and the patterns yield much information about the an- cestry and affinities of ancient man.

‘ No word is necessary to uphold the importance of the monuments when, Jacking the forerunners of paper, the ‘ancients recorded their history in evt or ainted monuments. Egypt, Assyria and Central America, each in a differ- ent way, show the walue of the close wtudy of the monuments, and the stories of these countries would have lacked the greater part of their interest had the testimony of walls and obelisks aud the anagnificent sculptures been withheld.

'~ Lenguagea form am exceedingly im- (portant part of the preparation of the warchwologist. Of course he must know ‘the modern ones to keep abreast of tho world’s progress in research, the an

azcuncements being made in apy one of the important living tongues. But com- parative philology is equally necessary, tor it may serve to give the key to the zelationships of one set of characters with another.

After these matters are all in hand there is geology to be studied, both theoretical and practical. From such knowledge-ie derived our estimate of man’s occupation of the earth, and tho value of the evidence may be mado cr marred by a single slip or unscientific action. The whole story of man’s early residence in New Jersay is dependent upon. the position of certain bits of worked stone in certain banks of dirt.— Boston. Transcript.

THROUGH THOPIC FORESTS,

The Remarkable Journey of a Pirate Who Kecaped From the Spanish.

Frank R. Stockton, in his sketches of “The Buccaneers of Our Coast,’ writes of Surtholemy Portuguez in St. Nicholas. After telling of his escape from the Span-

alligators soon after he left the shore, but } tioii. he would not give up; he had done so winch that be was ready to do more if he could only find out what to do.

Now a piece of very good fortune hap- pened to him, although to an ordinary. traveler it might have been considered a matter of no importance whatever.

ish, Mr. Stockton says:

He had found in the marsh an old gourd, which he had filled with fresh Water, and be had nothing but the raw shellfish which he found upen the rocks. But after a dict of roots, shellfish must have been a very agreeable change, and they gave him all the strength and vigor he needed. Very often he found streams and inlets which he was obliged to ford, and as he could see that they were always filled with alli- gators the passage of them was not very pleasant. His method of getting across oue of these narrow streams was to hurl rocks into the water until he had frighten- ed away the alligators immediately in front of him and then he would dash in and hurry across.

At other times great forests stretched dewn to the very coast, and through these he was obliged to make his way, although he could hear the roars and screams of wild beasts all about him. But he was bound for Golpho Triste and was not to be stopped on his way by anything alive.

But at last he came to something, not alive, which seemed to be an obstacle which would certainly get the better of him. This was a wide river flowing through the inland country into the sca. He made his way up the sbere of this river for a considerable distance, but it grew but little narrower, and hé could seo no chance of getting across. He could not swim, and if he bad beengble toswim be would nrabably haye heen eaten, un hv

the edge of the shore, where it had floated cown from some region higher up the river, Batholemy perceived an old board in which were some long and heavy rusty nails. Greatly encouraged by this discoy- ery, Bartholemy carefully knocked all the nails out of the board, and then, finding a large flat stone, he rubbed down each one of them until he had formed it into the shape of a rude knife blade, which he made as sharp as he could. Vhen with these tools be undertook the coustruction of araft. With the nails which he had sharpened he cut down a number of small trees, and when he had enough of these slender trunks he bound them together with reeds and osiers which he found on the river bank.

Thus after infinite labor and trial he constructed a raft which would bear him When he had launched this, he got upon it, gathering up his legs so as to keep them out of reach of the alligators, and with a long pole pushed himeelf off from shore. Sometimes pad- dling and sometimes pushing his pois against the bottom, he at last got across the river and took up his journey upon dry land. :

Her Ailment.

Peter Sangster resided in the Lammer- moor hills. In his youthful years hé had only received at the parochial school a ma’ education. He was, notwithstand- ‘ag. @ keen observer of the anima) enon.

In a word, he was what might be termed a**skilly budy,’’ for in proof, when folk or ony kind o’ eattle fell sick, with- Out & MomMeNnt’s Consideration he was sent for linmediately. In case of emergencies Peter invariably carried in bis poekets de- voctions of herbs in bottles, so that anti- dotes night be administered with alacrity. it will thus be seen that he was a firm be- liever in the auld saying that ‘‘a stitch in time saves bine.’’ Upon a night Tibbie ‘Trotter fell unco ill, and Veter was sent for. Now day atter dzy she swallowed his drugs, yet no improvement was per- ceptible. In fact, it was thought by somo that instead of grow: better she was gradually growing worse and worse. A professional doctor was at length sent for, and when he came Peter was sinoking his pipe atthe kitchen fire. ‘The doctor Soon examined Tibbie, and after giving needful prescriptions and instructions he bade her good day. As he was going out at the door Peter cried to him, ‘1 say, doctor, what do ye think is the matter wi’

A party of three entered a street car the other day, and it was noticed that one was @ blind man. He was led to his svat by histriend and his fare duly paid by his companion. It was therefore something

| of @ surprise to a passenger who watched

the group to see the companion suddenly turn and ask the time of his blind friend. Without an instant’s hesitancy, the man took a watch from his pocket, opened it,- and passing his fingers over it answered quickly, “Five minutes afier7.” There Was, of course, really nothing remarkable in a blind man being able to read the time from @ watch, presumably with raised fig- ures and no crystal, but it was done so naturally and promptly that it made a great impression upon one who saw it for the rst time.—Now York Commercial:
