Mr. Wheeler had just re turned from London when he read hi.-t paMT to tho Church club, showing t ho magnitndo and magnificence of the work accomplished in Vhitechaiel by university ext-nsiun. Tho laymen were so very favorably imiressed by the fstn-nth of the appeal mid tho j;inMrstnoi.s of their associate that as individuals they agreed to give any project ho might formulate their support. That was in March, 1891. In Jane Mr. Wheeler had rented .an old frame dwelling hou.se at the foot cf Iiisf Sovenfy-turth. utroot, onco tho country residence of a promi nent New York physician, to which he gave the name of the &uit Side club. Ilia family had gone abroad, and when it was learned that Mr. Wheeler had closed his house at the corner of Seventy first street and Park riven tie, and taken np his residence in the club for the sum mer, his friend in the Lawyers' club, tho Church clah and society generally were amazed. From chance acquaint ances he made friends, and the few who were welcomed to the freedom of tho turf and the cool shade about the house welcomed others on their own responsi bility. In this simple and cordial way tho men were drawn to the East Side club every evening, and on Sundays they brought their children and their lunc!i-H and newspapers and picnicked on the gr.t--s. i Mr. Whoe'er talked to the people. lie ' had every nev.couier introduced to him, and he sat on th" rate with them; he smoked and read them, and he not only got their ideas on political, social and industrial questions, but frankly gave his own. Some of these friendly diftcttstrions lasted a week, and news of thexn drew new visitors. When one evening "the club gentleman, as ho was called, invited two men to dine with him, his sincerity of purpose was estab lished, and since then the work has pros pered. Associated with Mr. Wheeler were the Rev. Mr. Theodore F. Bacon and Mr. L. D. Hughes, graduate and student of di vinity. Notwithstanding the religious tendency of these gentlemen and the support of the Church club, the work was conducted on puiely nonsectarian lines. Not a Scripture quotation was seen on the wall, and neither hymnal nor Imok of common prayer was visible. The old fashioned diiiimr room was converted into a billiard hall, and here ' the men smoke and chat, play billiards, j chess and checker whenever they like. At a small excuse the conservatory j was converted iuto a gymnasium. On ! the same CMr is the lavatory and bath, j Every day in the week from 9 a.m. ! until 10 p. m. the c lubhouse is oien and the attendance in the billiard room and gymnasium is greater Sunday than at any other time. When exception was taken to this unusual plan of ojieration Mr. Wheeler took the ground that a gentleman might play a game of bil liards in his private club Sunday after noon if the notion pleaded him without exciting any comment among tho m em bers. CirantLTg this privilege to a mer chant, banker or professional man, why should it be denied his. truckman aud clerks? It also occurred to him that a game of cards in a private club was not only less baneful, but less expeiuavo than in a saloon or beer garden. Another innovation is a monthly dar.ee to which ail the members are invited to bring their wives, sisters and friends. Good music is provided, simply printed dancing cards are distributed and in the middle of the programme hot chocolato and cake or coifee and sandwiches are served. Tiw young clergyman is al ways present, and no group, however small, is unattended in the club, and in consequence noisy harangues, profanity and discord are nnknown. Now there are five club residents Mr. W. S. Brush, also a lawyer; Mr. Paul Remolds, editor of a religious paper; I liuv lrnvt)lrt foun t tho world, I ' :;rt!i Arl tlghty-one deitrw; .

Myrtles and tree ferns once flourished in Green land; coral insects built on the Bhoresof Melville island; nautiluses 6ailed over what must then have een the tepid seas about Spitzbergen. But with the lapse of ages the scene changed, and worse than arctic rigors spread into regions now enjoying temperate climate. Pos sibly not for the first time. The Per mian was certainly an inclement age. and its inclemency seems even to have reached the ioint of glaciation in the west of England and Ireland, yet it was preceded and succeeded by a long prev alence of tropical conditions. These assuredly reigned without in terruption, in north temperate and polar regions throughout the vast expanse of Tertiary time. Palms and cycads then sprang, up in the room of oaks and beeches in England; turtles and croco diles haunted English rivers and estn aries; lions, elephants and hyenas roamed at large over English dry lanti Edinburgh Review. An Animated Storage Ur mi-voir. The Australian lamprey has its prin cipal habitat in the, Murray , river, and consequently in th dry neuxnis it U apt tft be imbedded leneath the . hardened clay, where no water is. As th stream recedes, the' animal fills its ionch ejid disapjars into the 6oft mud below, there to remxiu until the drought has passed away, subsisting on the moisture which it has learned to store in a sjiecial ized receptacle at' the' side of the head. As a matter of fact, the fish has mas tered the difficult question of water &t or- , age on its own account ljefore the rare , of homo sapiens has leen able to solve! tho same problem in the island couti-j nent. i It is an interesting question wheth r I this Australian lamjirey is not a linger ing example of the fish of Miocene ages, and as such may le considered as an an cestral type of European lampreys. A sea lamprey that I examined alive, caught in the salmon nets of the tidal estuary, had a dintinct tendency to swell at either sido of the head, as if tho pouch might be forthcoming in time of actual necessity. If the Australian tyjte is not tho absolute ancestor of tho British genera, it is at least reasonable to sup pose that it is an older form, and that the divergent genera and species have descended along different lines in the great life struggle. That tho pouch of the antipodean lamprey is intended for the storage of water is a fact that can hardly bo doubted by any one who has seen the species amid its peculiar sur roundings.

Tho celebrated French poet, Saiui Foix, who, in spite of his large inconn was always in debt, sat one day in barber's shop waiting to be shaved, lie was lathered, when the door opened and a tradesman entered who happened to be one of tho poet's largest creditors. No sooner did this man see Saint-Foit than he angrily demanded his money The poet composedly begged him not to make a scene. "Won't you wait for the money nuiil I am shaved'" "Certainly," said the other, pleased at the prospect. Saint-Foix then made the barber a witness of the agreement and imme diately took a towel, wiped the lathet from his face and left the shop, lie wore a beard to tho end of his days. London Tit-Bits.

Detroit Free Press. The Baby and the Savage. In the bone caves of the south of France have been found figures of rein deer, mammoths and men cut on horn or ivory, and evidently executed by art ists contemporary with th Elephas i pnmigemrs. The men are represented with short, bent legs, and seem to stand or walk in a stooping manner, with the body bowed slightly forward from the hips. Now pass your hand down tho back of any infant under ten months old and feel the spine at the loin or lumbar re gion, where in the adult modern man the back is hollow or concave. You will observe that in the babe it is convex like that of a quadruped (a ten-month-old baby is practically a quadruped); and though the child can, perhaps, get on its legs with the support of a chair, it does not straighten its thighs and stand upright, but is bent forward in the same posture of the cave dweller, whose portrait has come down to us from the age just succeeding the last glacial epoch. If the support is removed the child falls forward and again becomes a pseudo quadruped, zine. l.oi.oHK.li 15a it ist. Mf . ttlive. r-ak. between 'lentil t.tid Fleveiith, lCev. A. Jlofwell, pas tor.

New York WorlJ. Not So Green as lie Looked. . A man entered a busy city office a few weeks ago and asked permission to use the telephone. He walked to the corner pointed out by one of the clerks, looked curiously at the instrument and after a furtive glance toward the other occu pants of the room took down the re ceiver and gently whispered into it, "Hullo." A broad Fmile passed around the room, and one of the younger clerks called out in patronizing tones, "Oh, no, uncle; hang np the tube, ring the bell on the right, then put the tube to your ear and talk to that little hole before you." The man obediently hung up the re ceiver and turned toward the speaker. "Thank you!" he said dryly, "I am the general inspector of this telephone line."
