'Even then, the dog saved him, because the trail of his blood in the snow as he made his way back to the monastery of St. Bernard led the monks to the man. This first public cemetery for ani- mals is dedicated to Barry. But it is not confined to dogs. Here animal lovers have paid last tribute to cats, horses, monkeys, parrots, canaries and carrier pigeons. Even two pet lions, the favorites of Pezon, the famous animal trainer, are buried here beside their foster mother, a hunting dog who |. raised them from birth, The early Egyptians were very par- ticular about giving their animals spe- | cial burial; the cat and the bull played important parts in the life of the na- tion, and were buried in séparate aves over which a monument was sed, Men during all ages have been kind to animals. During the Mid- dle' Ages people treated their dumb beasts with particular kindness to compensate them for the immertality which was denied them. In recent and P t times thers have been numer- ous private cemeteries for animals, the most famous of these, perhaps be- ing the one which Queen Victoria had Some x men who think they are mar- rying angels get nothing bettér than good cooks; and they never discover the difference; The Chinese are starv- ing, slips are idle, and yet no-one can think of anything to.do with wheat, The best is none too good, for a lot of folks, so long as they don't have to pay for it.

Myrtle--"My folks are going to send me to a girls' finishing school." Mildred--"Mine can't manage me, either." A Scotchman had lost his wallet and had it returned to him by the police three days later. He was asked to examine the contents to see if his money was all there. ~ "Aye, the money's there a'richt, but, mon, ye've it three days--what about the interest?" Little, Lucie--"Auntie, why do you put powder on your face?" Auntie--"To make me pretty, dear." Lucie--"Then why dqesn't it?" "What 1s going to happen to man physically, ally, in the fd-' ha ture?" asks Ales Hrdlicka, Curator of" Anthropology: U.S. National Museum, in "Evolution." He continues: If we had a perfect knowledge of the human past we should be able to understand ciate the changes that are now going | toe there are certain facts which we don't intelligent deductions for the future. We know that man has developed, in all probability, gradually, from the nearest subhuman forms, under tke exciting influence of environment. During his progress he differentiated into numerous types and 'races, the less successful of which have become extinct. He is still substantially at- tuned t. Nature, though the relation is weakened through his artificialities. Man multiplied very 'slowly up until the end of the last main glaciation; from that time he began to spread all over the habitable eartl, the various types and races all developing from one human species, The main phenomena of human dif- ferentiation or "evolution" through: out the past, are on one hand a pro- gressive mentality, or. the other hand a progressive physical adaptation and eventual refinement. It is a wonier- ful and, in general. sustained progress from the more or less ape-like precur- sor to the highest type of man and 'woman of today. The present is mere- ly a developing continuation of the past. Man still appears to be as plas- tic in body and mind as ever he as, probably even more so; he is still struggling with environment, though controlling it more and more every day; and he still changes. He lives longer and better, He suf- fers less physically. Elimination of the less fit has largely changed to elimination of the unfit only Less mother's and child's hard labor, more and better food, with exercise, sport and personal hygiene, are bringing about an increase in stature of civil ized man, while less use of the jaws and muscles of mastication is reduc- ing the jaws. the breadth, protrusion and massiveness of the face. The head in general among the cultured is becoming slighly broader and larger, the skull and facial bones thinner, the physiogromy more lively and expres- sive. The features, the hands, the feet in The a breasts smaller, the pel- vis little affected the lower limbs longer, the upper shorter, the hands and feet narrower, and the fingers and toer more slender, with the fifth further diminishing: As to the i organs, the most obvious probabilities are a further weakening and diminution of the appendix, and a shortening, with diminution of ca- pacity f the intestines. As foodiwill likely be more refined and made more digestible, the ity of a spaciou large intestine will diminish in oro- portion, Physiologically, the tendencies indi- cate a rather more rapid pulse and respiration with slightly increased temperature--in other words, a live- lier rather than a slower metabolism. But substantial changes will probably require millenniums; the functions are oo firmly established for any quick change. . So much for nornial conditions. There is, regrettably also tha! debit side to be considered. Man has ever paid for his advance, is paying now, and will pay in future. Functional disorders, digestive, secretive, elimin- ative, disorders of sleep and sexual, can not but multiply with the increas- ing stresses, eruptions and absorp- tions. Mental derangements will prob- ably be more frequent. Destructive diseases such as diabetes; and various skin troubles, will probably increase until thoroughly understood and hin- dered. The teeth, the mouth, the nose, the eyes and ears, will ever call for increased attention. The feet will trouble. Childbirth will not be easier ner less painful; though assistance will equally rise in effectiveness, Due to prolonged life, heart troubles, apoplexies, cancer and senile weak- nesses of all sorts, will tend to be more common, until mastered by medi- cine, All this, with many social ab- normalities, will retard man's pro- gress but will not stop it, for the indi- cations are that he will rise equal to all his growing needs as they develop and begin to hurt. If there is a dan- ger to human future, it is in the low- ered birthrate. As man advances in knowledge ke will grow 'te understand what is best for him, so that it will be easier for him to follow the right road. He will advance in the control of nature; he The Lake In sprin of youth it was my lot To haunt of the wide world a spot The which I could not loce the less, So lovely was the loneliness Of a wild lake, with black rock And the tall pines' that to around. und, red But when the night had thrown her pall Upon that spot, as upon all, And the mystic wind went by Murmuring in melody, Then--ah, then--I would awake To the terror of the lone lake.

The humblest workman and great princes, autliors, painters, musicians, every class of peo- ple, have bought burial plots in this Its wooded six acres were originally the rendezvous of apa- ches. Now the very old elms, poplars, horse-chestnuts and a rich growth of = shrubbery make it almost impossible to obtain a photograph of any but a small portion of the cemetery at once. Fortunately not all the sites have peen paid for in perpetuity, or there would be room for no more interments, The price of a square metre of earth for all time is 3,000 francs. But many people ¢ould not afford a resting place for their pets for more than from two or three years. Yet the island is rapid- ly being covered with permanent tombs. Some. are" very elaborate in finest marble. At the island's lower end stands a crematorium. One of the strict regulations of the Society is that no tomb can be erected which in any way resembles those in burial grounds for men. No religious sym: bole are permitted. The place has a particular appeal because of the quaintnéss of many of the tombs and the originality of the epitaphs, In nearly every cemetery where people are buried can be found monuments and inscriptions where 'bad taste is glaringly evident. But here on Wrecker's Island one finds a pleasing exception, Every monument attests good taste, simplicity and sin- cerity.

And there is an un- questionable advance in civilized man of mental effectiveness and mental endowments. Records in endurance and in accomplishments are ever being surpassed, and in modern commerce, industry, finance. gcience, applied arts, bring to light mental giant after men- tal giant. Thosc and . other progressive changes in the cultured man of the present are resulting, it i8 true, in various weakenings and consequent disorders. Phe hair, especially in men, is being lost prematurely; the teeth are weakened in resistance, there are troubles in eruption, and some of the dental units tend to disappear. The facial changes, while favoring a greater variety and higher range of the voice, lead often to disturbing ir- regularities of. the nasal structures and palate. The weakenings through less use of the feet and other organs (appendix, muscles, etc.) result in difficulties. even dangers. Great mental application favors digestive snd other disorders. But all these ad- vantages are being checked by adap- tations and have but moderate effect of retardation on the general evolu- tionary progress of civilized man. In the light of man's past and his present it is very likely that he will continue to progress in adaptation, refinement and differentiation. But this applies only to the main stream of humanity, the civilized man. The rest will be more or less brought along, or left behind.
