CHRISTIANITY THE ONLY RADICAL
IMPROVING FORCE.
Dr. Talmage Advocates, a Christian Evo- ;
lutlon In Contradiction of an Infidel !
Evolution?Oat of Mortality Into Glo- I
?? T
rxuuo xuiiuuri*i4bj?
{Copyright, 1898, by American Press Association.]
Washington, Aug. 28.?Dr. Talmage
in this discourse advocates a Christian
evolution in contradiction to an
infidel evolution and declares that the
only radically improving force in tho |
world is Christianity; text, Romans i, i
22, 23, "Professing themselves to be J
wise, they became fools and changed j
the glory of the uncorruptible God into 1
an image made like to corruptible man j
and to birds and four footed beasts and
creeping things."
This is a full length portrait of au I
evolutionist who substitutes the bestial j
origin for the divine origin. I showed j
you last week that evolution was con- j
tradicted by the Bible, by science, by '
observation and by common sense; that ;
the Bible account of the creation cf ;
man and of brute and of the world and !
the evolutionist's account collided with
each other as certainly as two express
trains going in opposite directions at j
60 miles the hour, their locomotives t
meeting on the same track. I showed
that all the evolution scientists, without
any exception, were pronounced infidels;
that evolution was a heathenism
thousands of years old; that such men
as Agassiz and Hugh Miller and Farraday
and Dawsoa and Dana had for that
doctrine of evolution unlimited con- |
tempt. I showed you that their favorite j
Vior.r.T? of <-V?o ' cnrvi trn.1 nf fhft fittest" I
was an absurdity'and an untruth, and j
that natural evolution was always i
downward and never upward, and that I
there had never been any improvement J
for man or beast or world except
through the direct or indirect influence !
of our glorious Christianity. And in j
the closing part of that sermon I told j
you I was not a pessimist, but an opti- !
mist, that instead of it being 11 o'clock
at night it is half past 5 in the morning.
Now, I go on to tell you, it seems to !
me that evolutionists are trying to im- !
press the great masses of the people j
with the idea that there is an ancestral
line loadiug from the primal germ cn ;
up through the serpent, and on up I
through the quadruped, and on up :
through the gorilla to man. They ad- !
mit that there is a "missing link," as >
+ % 4- Knf *int- Q .
llicjr KsCklJL X tj UUl liiuy AO uvv *
link. It is a whole chain gone. Between !
the physical construction of the highest
animal and the physical construction of
the lowest man there is a chasm as wide j
as the Atlantic ocean. Evolutionists \
tell us that somewhere in Central Afri- |
ca or in Borneo there is a creature half
way between the brute and the man, i
and that that creature is the highest
step in the animal ascent and the lowest
step in the human creation. But
what are the facts: The brain of the
largest gorilla that was ever found is
30 cubic inches, while the brain of the
most ignorant man that was ever found
is 70. Vast difference between 30 and
70. It needs a bridge of 40 arches to
span that gnlf.
Besides that, there is a difference between
the gorilla and the man?a difference
of blood globule, a difference of
nerve, a difference of muscle, a difference
of bone, a difference of sinew. The
horse is more like man in intelligence,
the bird is more like him in musical
capacity, the mastiff is more like him
in affection. That eulogized beast of
which we hear so much, represented on
the walls of cities thousands of years
aco. is iust as complete as it is now,
showing that there has not been a particle
of change. Besides that, if a pair of
apes had a man for descendant why
would not all the apes have the same
J ~^ 'o?l -it- ) flmf flint*.
KIJUU Ui UC^cuuautc. iv vuuv ?..v.v
one favored pair only was honored with
bninan progeny? Besides that, evolution
says that as one species rises to another
species the old type dies off. Then how
is it that there are whole kingdoms of
chimpanzee and gorilla and baboon?
Inconsistencies of Evolution.
_ The evqluiipnists have come together
"W. IE2
ET, Solicts
a Share ei
and Lave tried to explain a Lfrd'sVing.
Their theory has always been that a
faculty cf an animal while being developed
must always be useful and always
beneficial, but tho wing of a bird, in
the thousands-of years it was being developed,
so far from being any help
must have been a hindrance until it
could be brought into practical use
away on down in the ages. Must there
not have been an intelligent will somewhero
that formed that wonderful flying
instrument so that a bird 500 times
heavier than the air can mount it and
put gravitation under claw and beak?
That wonderful mechanical instrument,
the wing, with between 20 and 30 different
apparati curiously constructed,
does it not imply a divine intelligence?
Does it not imply a direct act of some
outside being? All the evolutionists in
the world cannot explain a bird's wing
or an insect's wing.
So they are confounded by the rattlo
of the rattlesnake. Ages before that
reptile had any enemies this warning
weapon was created. Why was it created?
When the reptile, far back in the
ages, bad no enemies, why tins warning
weapon? There must have been a
divine intelligence foreseeing and
knowing that in ages to come that reptile
would have enemies, and then this
warning weapon would be brought into
use. You see evolution at every step is
a contradiction or a monstrosity. At
every stage of animal life as well as at
every stage of human life there is evidence
of direct action of divine will.
Besides that it is very evident from
another fact that wo are an entirely
different creation and that there is no
kinship. The animal in a few hours or j
months comes to full strength and can
take care of itself. The human race for
the first one, two, three, five, ten years
is in complete helplessness. The chick
just come out of its shell begins to pick
up its own iood. The (Tog, the wolf,
the lion, soon earn their own livelihood
and act for their own defense. The human
race does not come to development
until 20 or 30 years of age, and by that
time the animals that were born the
same year the man was born?the vast
majority of them?have died of old age.
This shows there is no kinship, there is
no similarity. If we had been born of
the beast, we would have had the
beast's strength at the start, or it would
have had our weakness. Not only dif- |
fereut, but opposite.
Darwin admitted that the dovecot
pigeon has not changed in thousands of
years. It is demonstrated over and over
again that the lizard on the lowest formation
of rocks was just as complete as
the lizard now. It is shown that the
ganoid, the first fish, was just as complete
as the sturgeon, another name for
the same fish now. Darwin's entire system
is a guess, and Huxley and John
Stuart Mill and Tyndall and especially
Professor Haeckel come to help him
in the guess, and guess about the brute,
and guess about man, and guess about
worlds; but, as to having one solid foot of
ground to stand on, they never have had
it and never will have it. I put in opposition
to these evolutionist theories the
inward consciousness that we have no
consanguinity with the dog that fawns
at our feet, or the spider that crawls on
the wall, or the fish that flops in the
frying pan, cr the crow that swoops on
the field carcass, or the swine that wallows
in the mire. Everybody sees the '
outrage it would be to put aside the
Bible record that Abraham begat Isaac, I
and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat |
Judah, for the record that the microscopic
animalcule begat the tadpole, and
the tadpole begat the polliwog, and the
polliwcg begat the serpent, and the serpent
begat the quadruped, and the quadruped
begat the baboon, and the baboon
begat man.
The evolutionists tell us that the
apes were originally fond of climbing
the trees, but after awhile - they lost
their prehensile power, and therefore
could not climb with any facility, and
hence they surrendered moukcydom and
set up in business as men. Failures as
apes, successes as men. According to
the evolutionists, a man is a bankrupt
monkey.
Divine Origin.
I pity the person who in every nerve
and muscle and bone and mental faculty
and spiritual experience does not
realize that he is higher in origin and
has had a grander ancestry than the
beasts which perish. However degraded
men and women may be, and though
they may have foundered on the rocks
of crime and sin, and though we shudder
as we pass them, nevertheless there
is something within us that tells us
they belong to the same great brotherhood
and sisterhood of our race, and
our sympathies are aroused in regard to
j them. But, gazing upon the swiftest
gazelle, or upon the tropical bird of
most flamboyant wing, or upon the
| curve of grandest courser's neck, we feel
there is no consanguinity. It is not that
we are stronger than they, for the lion
with one stroke of his paw could put
I us into the dust. It is not that we have
! better eyesight, for the eagle can descry
a mole a mile away. It is not that wo
; are fleeter of foot, for a roebuck in a
| flash is out of sight, just seeming to

; the animal creation surpassing us in
J fleetuess of foot and in keenness of nosI
tril and in strength of limb, but notI
withstanding all that there is soinei
thiug within us that tells us we are of
! celestial pedigree. Not of the mollusk,
i not of the rizipod, not of the primal
i germ, but of the living and omnipotent
i God. Lineage of the skies. Genealogy
of heaven.
I tell you plainly that if your father

' opossum, and your great-aunt a kaugai

I can more easily appreciate tho fact
that God by one stroke of his omnipotence
could make man than I could
realize how out of 5,000,000 ages he
could havo evolved one, patting on a
little here and a little there. It would
have been just as great a miracle for
God to havo turned an orang outang
into a man as to make a man out and
out?the one job just as big as the
other.
It seems to mo we had better let God
have a little place in cur woi Id somewhere.
It seems to me if we cannot
have him make all creatures, we had
better havo hirn make two or three.
There ought to be some place where he
could stay without interfering with the
evolutionists. "N?," says Darwin, and i
so for years he i3 trying to raise fantailed
pigeons and to turn these fantail
pigeons into some other kind of pigeon
or to have tbem go into something that
is not a pigeon?turning them into
quail or barnyard fowl or brown thrasher.
But pigeon it is, and others have
tried with the ox and the dog and tho
horse, but they staid in their species.
If they attempt to cross over, it is a
1 hybrid, and a hybrid is always sterile
! and goes into extinction. There has
' been only one successful attempt to pass
over from speechless animal to the
articulation of man, and that was the
attempt which Balaam witnessed in the
beast that he rode, but an angel of the
Lord, wirh drawn sword, soon stopped

But says some oue, "If we cannot
have God make a man, let ns have bim
make a horse." "Oh, 110!" says Huxley
in his great lectures in New York
years ago. No, he does not want any
God around the premises. God did not
J make the horse. The horse came of the
j pilohippus, and the pilohippus came
from theprotohippus, and the protobippus
came from the miohippus, an the
miohippus came from the meshohippus,
and tho meshohippus came from the
orohippus, and so away back, all the
living creatures, wo trace it in a line
until we get to the mouerou, and no
evidence of divine intermeddling with
the creation until you get to the monercn,
and that, Huxley says, is of so low
a form of life that the probability is it
just made itself or was the result of
spontaneous generation. What a narrow
escape from tho necessity of having a
j God.
As near as I can tell, these cvolutionj
ists seem to think that God at the start
| had not made up his mind as to exactly
what he wcu|d make, and, having made
, up his mind partially, he has been
changing it all through the ages. I bcI
lieve that God made the world as he
| wanted to have it, and that tho happiI
ness of all the species will depend upon
their staying in the species where they
were created.
rarliameiit of Beasts.
Once upon a time there was in a nat
ural amphitheater of the forest a convention
of animals, and a gorilla from
western Africa came in with his club
and pounded "Order!" Then he sat
down in a chair of twisted forest root.
The delegation Gf birds came in and
took their position in the galleries of
the hills and the tree tops. And a delegation
of reptiles came in, and they
took their position in the pit of tho valley.
And the tiers of rocks were occupied
by the delegation of intermediate
animals, and there was a great aqvariI
qui, and a canal leading into it, through
which camo the monsters of the deep
to join the great convention. And on
one table of rock there were fonr or five
primal germs under a glass case, and in
a cup on another table of rock there
was a quantity of protoplasm. Then
this gorilla of the African forest with
his club pounded again, "Order, order!"
and then he cried out: "Oh, you great
throng of beasts and birds and reptiles
j and insects, I have called you together
| to propose that wo move up into the
j human race and be beasts no longer.
I Too long already have we been hunted
j and caged aud harnessed. We shall
j stand it no longer." At that speech the
whole convention broke out into roars
of enthusiasm like as though there

their keepers, ana it am seem as if the j
whclo convention would march right I
up r.ud take possession of the earth and
the human race. But an old lion arose,
his acaue white with many years, and
I.q hiu nti.i whm f.liat nlrl
UV l.VlViVU f V4VV) " ??? *?MVM VMM* lion
uttered bis voice all the other
hearts of the forest were still, and he j
said: "Peace, brothers and sisters of 1
the forest. I think wo have been placed j
in the spheres for which we were intended.
I think onr Creator knew the
place that was good for ns." Ho could !
proceed no fxtrthcr, for the whole con- i
vention hroko ont in an uproar like the j
honso of commons when tbo Irish ques- j
tiou comes up or the American congress
the night of adjournment, and the reptiles
hissed with indignation- at the j
leonine Gambetta, and the frogs croak- j
ed their contempt, and tho bears growled
their contempt, and the panthers ;
snarled the'r disgust, and tho insects
buzzed and buzzed with excitement, and, :
though the gorilla of the African forest
with his club ponnded, "Order, order," j
there was no order, and there was a
thrusting out of addcrine sting, and a j
swinging of elephantine tusk, and a j
strode or ceaK, auci a swing or ciaw, nu- i
til it seemed as if the convention would :
be massacred.
Just at that moment at the door of ,
this natural amphitheater of the forest I
the curtain of the leaves lifted, and the i
bolts and bars of the tree branches were
shoved back, and there appeared Agas- j
siz and Audubon and Silliman and .
Moses. And Agassiz cried out: "Oh, '
you beasts of the forests, I have studied j
your ancestral records and found yon j
always have been beasts, you always
will be beasts. Be contented to be j
beasts." And Audubon aimed his gun j
at a baldheadcd eagle, which dropped i
from the gallery and as it dropped j
struck a serpent that was winding i
around one of the pillars to get up |
higher. And Silliman threw a rock of
tho tertiary formation at the mammals, I
and Moses thundered, "Every beast
after its kind, every bird after its kind, !
every,fish after its kind." And, lo, the
parliament of wild beasts was prorogued ,
and went home to their constituents, 1
and tho hat flew out into the night, and
the lizard slunk under the rock, and
the gorilla went back to tho jungle, and j
a hungry wolf passing out ate up the J
primal germs, and a clumsy buffalo up- j
set the protoplasm, and the lion went j
to his lair, and tho eagle went to his j
eyrie, and the whale went to his palace j
of crystal and coral, and there was ,

Bratali::Ing Tendencies.
j
But, my friends, evolution is not only j
infidel and atheistic and absurd; it is j
i brutalizing in its tendencies. If there j
is anything in the world that will make i
a man bestial in his habits, it is the i
idea that he was descended from tho i
beast. Why, according to the idea of j
these evolutionists, we aro only a su
perior kind of cattle, a sort of Alderney
among other herds. To be sure, we j
browse on better pasture, and we have I
better stall and better accommodations, !
but then we are only Soutbdowns
among the great flocks of sheep. Born
of a beast, to die like a beast, for tho .
evolutionists have no idea of a future j
world. They say the mind is only a su- '
perior part of the body. They say our
thoughts are only molecular formation.
They say when the body dies the whole j
nature dies. The slab of the sepulcher :
is not a milestone on the journey up- :
ward, but a wall shutting us into eter- j
nal nothingness. We all die alike?the }
cow, the horse, the sheep, tho man, the
reptila Annihilation is the heaven of !
the evolutionist. From such a stcnchful j
and damnable doctrine turn away. .
Compare that idea of your origin?an
idea filled with the chatter of apes and j
the hiss of serpents and the croak of !
frogs?to an idea in one or two stanzas ;
which I quote from an old book of more i
than Demosthenic or Homeric or Dan- j
tesque power: "What is man that thou i
art mindful of liim, and the son or man
that thou visifest him? Thou hast made
him a little lower than the angels and
hast crowned bin: with glory and hon- |
or. Thou madest him to have dominion I
over the works of thy hand; thou hast 1
put all things under his feet, all sheen j
and oxen?yea, and the beasts of the
field., the fowl of the air and the fish of
the sea and whatsoever passeth through
the paths of the seas. O Lord, our j
Lord, how excellent is thy name in all
the earth."
How do you like that origin? The |
lion the monarch of the field, theeaglo j
the monarch of the air, behemoth the j
monarch of tho deep, but man monarch
of all. Ah, my friends, I have to say |
to yon that I am not so anxious to know
what was my origin as to know as to
I know what will be my destiny. I do j
j not care so much where I came from !
as where I am going to. I am not i
so interested in who was my an- :
J cestry 10,000,000 years ago as I am !
; to know where I will be 10,000,000 j
j years from now. I am not so much !
interested in the preface to my cradle j
as I am interested in tho appendix
to my grave. I do not care so much j
about protoplasm as I do about eternasm. j
The "was" is overwhelmed with the I
"to be." And here comes iu the evolution
I believe in, not natural evolution,
but gracious and divine and heavenly
j evolution?evolution out of siu into
i holiness, out of grief into gladness, out
j of mortality into immortality, out of
eartn into neaveu. xnat is me evojuuuu

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to care
Deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed }ou
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucousurs,faces.

Lunchtiine In San Francisco.
For a year a wholesale house in San
Francisco lias experimented with the
plan of closing its place of business
each day front 12 to 1 o'clock, during
urhirh hnnr all tho emolovees obtain
their noonday meal. The arrangement
was found to have many advantages
over the old way of permitting the
clerks to go to luncheon by relays, and
it has so commended itself to other
wholesalers there that a movement is
on foot to make the plan general.
In most of tho largo houses the first
relay goes to lunch at 11 o'clock, and
generally it is well on into the afternoon
before the: last of the clerks get a
chance to get away from their work for
the midday meal. The managers of the
houses say that the working forces of
the stores are demoralized for at least,
say, three hours each day on account of
the lunch hour system now in vogue.
With the proposed system the store
would be closed for an hour every day,
but during business hours all hands
would be ready for service, making less
friction in the transaction of business
and securing greater attention to customers.
If this plan works well in San Francisco,
there is no reason why it should
not work well in other places, and perhaps
the retail stores might also fiDd
pleasure and profit in it.?New Haven

The Car "Ilove To."
An old bo'sun's mate of the U. S. S.
Princeton, a hit wabbly as to his underpinning,
at the corner of Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue the other
night was waiting for a navy yard car.
Two or three of the cars passed him by
winzzmg because, m ice ouscumv, luu
motorman couldn't make out the figure
of the old time flatfoot. The old navy
bluejacket didn't appear to like this,
and when the next navy yard car came
whizzing around the corner of Fifteenth
street he took his stand in the middlo
of the track and let out a ship's call
that could be heard two blocks.
"Heave to, till I board ye!" he shouted.
The car "hove to," and the old
bo'sun's mate pulled alongside, climbed
over the gangway and was off in a
bunch.?Washington Post.

the privilege of naming warships; so
she wants to bo allowed to name the

A CURIOUS CURE. j
The Heeling Power of Light, Sun ana ait i
Applied.
We hail come to Veldes, in the Julian
Alps, for a month as tho paying guests
among a hundred others of a man who
for 30 years past has been preaching?
not altogether in the wilderness?the
healing power of light, sun and air applied
to the body of man as God made
it. The tailor's art, he insists, is antihygienio,
a-source of moral and physical
degradation. There may bo occasions
for simple covering, but there are equally,
in the interests of wholesomeuess
and vitality, occasions for absence of
clothing.
In accordance with the rules of the
game therefore we rose every morning
soon after 5 and, having walked, my
friend and I to the Hill of Men, our
wives to the Hill of Women, in the
scantiest cldthiug consistent with what
is called decency, we forthwith spent
the early hours wandering or reclining
in sun or shadow, jumping, digging or
reading, according to temperament, and
breakfasting on the milk, bread and
honey we had brought with us from tho
hut. ^
After our strange air bath on tho top
of the hill we used to walk back, clothed,
to another strango bath at the hot- (
torn, where for the best part of au hour
we lay out ou a slanting roof bare, save 1
for our heads, to the full blaze of the
sun. Then for 20 minutes by the clock ^
we were swathed tight in our blankets
and then taken indoors, plunged into a j
tub of tepid water and massaged by export
attendants. By the time we got
back on our bare?and not infrequently
tender?feet to the huts we were quito
ready for the simple vegetarian midday j
meal that awaited us under the huge
common dining room.
The virtue of strenuous laziness dur- .
ing the healing time being also sternly
inculcated by the healer, the afternoon
generally opened with delicious sleep, '
followed at tho option of the individual ^
by either a modified repetition of the
morning's airing and sunning or by a
lazy stroll with camera or book. Soon j
after 6 the evening meal of soup, vegetables
and sweets was over, and by (J? j
coffee, tobacco and chatter having
achieved their purpose? we were gen- ^
erally eleeping our Adamic sleep. On (
the nights when, for tho purposes of j
the cure, the body or some part of it ,
was "packed" in a cold water bandage j
dreaming was sometimes delayed, but ^
if that particular part of the treatment

soon as the attendant's back was turned.
The first and every subsequent night of
our stay we spent upon the edge of the j
lake within a few feet of the water in a j
couple of rough wooden huts without ^
fronts?with some forebodings, it must j
be comfessed, although it was in August,

Fall of Marat's Lime Tree.
Murat's lime tree on the battlefield
of Leipsic has fallen a victim to a violent
storm. The tree which witnessed c
snch terrible carnage was already, ac- f
cording to popular belief, 200 years old ?
and more when the three days' battlo j
was fought. Perhaps it drew new f
strength from a soil enriched by the
countless dead; perhaps, liko proud v
Bolingbroke, "blood watered it to make j
it grow." In any case it has survived j
for more than fourscore years the great
event of its history and now lies pros- s
trate on the battlefield?the last fallen f
in the battle of giants. The tree has j
sometimes been called Napoleon's lime, s
and the legend has been told that the
leader in the battle of nations used it
as a watchtower at a critical period of
the fight c
But, according to authentic evidence, c
it was not Napoleon, but Marat, who c
made it famous. The great captain of r
squadrons, who headed the veterans of t
Spain, seems to have climbed into its t
branches and established his observatory ^
here on the morning of Oct. 1G, 1813, ?
and here for some time he remained t
till an intrusive cannon ball passed
through the branches and drove tho c
bird from the nest. It is a grand old c
veteran, grand even in death. Its trunk
is 20 meters high and l)g meters in
diameter. It has several times been
struck by lightning and is at last over- x
thrown by tempest. Near it is the ivy
colored monument to the French who c
fell, whose epitaph it may justly share, *
"Let none disturb their rest."?Pall

"REMEMBER THE ALAMO!"
rhe Battlecry of General Sain Houston
and His Urave Soldiers.
"Remember the Maine!" and the old
nan who had been through some of the
uost exciting scenes in our national
listory repeated the famous warcry
everal times as though trying to revive
ome memory of long ago that it replied.
"I have it now," as tho recollection
ighted up his face. "I heard the story
vben wo were going to tho front in the
Mexican war, for many of my most iniraafce
acquaintances at that time were
Dexans. During tho troubles of a dozen
rears before Colonel Travis was in comnand
of 1 Sti Texan soldiers in Fort
Mamo at Bexar. There he was sur oundcd
by many times his own force,
be enemy being in command of Santa
\nna, the Mexican dictator.
"March 6, 1836, the little garrison
surrendered, having first received a
iledgo from Santa Anna that the lives
)f all his prisoners should be spared.
Despite this positive assurance of safety,
;be characteristic treachery of the Spanard
asserted itself. No sooner were
Dolonel Travis and his men disarmed
;hau they were massacred in cold blood,
:be last sound thev ncard on earth beng
the cruel tauuts of their enemies.
\s a fitting climax to this savagery the
Doaics 01 uie oravo ueau were inxowu
nto a heap, an immense pile of wood
was placed upon them, and their ^ashes,
singled with the ashes of their funeral
pyre, was all that was left of the brave
ittle garrison.
" You can imagino to what burning
rath this act of fearful barbarity
would stir the people of Texas. By the
19th of the next mouth General Sam
Houston, with 700 brave and determined
followers, confronted Santa
Auua, whose forces were more than
:hree times as strong. Before making
in attack Houston, a master of fervid
speech, made a thrilling address, and
Remember the Alamo!' were the words
that rang ont like a trumpet call at the
ilose of his burning appeal. The effect
was wonderful and indescribable. The
:ry was repeated till it became a mad
shriek for revenge that struck terror iuX)
the hearts of the treacherous foe.
"'Remember the Alamo!' was the
inspiring shout with which the Texans
rushed into that brief but terrible bat:le
at San Jacinto. Despite disparity in
lumbers Houston's little force drove
;ho Mexicans like chaff before the wind,
narking their course with dead and
wounded. The Alamo was remembered
with a terrible reckoning, for G30 Mexican
dead were left upon the field while
;he avengers lost but 70."?Detroit

Bos Butter.
Mr. David Boylo, the curator of the
3ntario Archaeological museum, is in
receipt of an exceedingly curious survival
from prehistoric times in the
shape of a good sized lump of "bog butter."
In Ireland in the very old times
the art of making butter was known,
but the preservative effects of salt were
is yet undiscovered. Nevertheless the
people of that age possessed some means
if preserving it, burial in a bog being
part of the process. Firkins of it were
frequently left there for safekeeping,
and from time to time these relics of
prehistoric housekeeping are unearthed.
Mr. 13. St. George Lefroy of Toronto,
who is now in Ireland, is the donor of
a good sized piece of cheesy looking
stuff to the museum. Mr. Lefroy's letter
to Mr. Boyle is in part as follows:
"I have just sent off per parcels post
a piece of 'beg butter' to yon. I don't
titnsv whf>thf>r it is a thine of sufficient
lutiquity and rarity to be of any value
jr interest to you, but as the Dublin
museum has a keg in a prominent posi:iou
perhaps you may consider it worthy
admission to a place in the museum.
[ notice the Canadian customs forbid
substitutes or imitations of butter.' I
lope red tape won't signalize itself over
:kis.
"The keg of which this is a portion
vas dug up recently this year in a bog
lear Dunlavin, County Kildare. The
tares are said to have been round it,
)ut to have fallen off on removal It
ay in a peasant's garden, and the dogs
:'ed cn it for a time. Mrs. Hopkins of
Blackball castle, Kilcullen, County
vildare, got it then, and I got this
xagment from her. I melted a piece,
md it seems decidedly butterish." ?
