And unable to supply us with much until lately the medieal profession baa been information on the subject, for doctors have been widely divided as to the exact nature of the tonsils, their origin, and their purpose. All that was definitely known was that the tonsils in moot jieraons are the seat of perpetual trouble, of invasion and swollen, obstructive overtth. hrow Ir. J. A. Ilageraann of Pittsburgh offer a cunous, but entirely reasonable explanation of the tonsils. He reasons from Darwin, Spencer and Jennings, as well as Ilaeckel, to prove that they are the evolutionary or vestigial remains in mankind of tlie breathing gills in the fish and These progenitors of mankind, reptiles which were mana ancestors. according to Darwin, must have had aquatic habits. Hie lungs are only swimming bladder that once served as a float just as you now see in the blow Ash. In the bfminn embryo you still see giljjdefti. Haeckel, too, describes the intestine as connected with the gill a! it, which is a memorial of fish ancestors. The gills in higher animals as leave the into disuse. Heredity, however, live air and the fall in they deep is very tenacious, aa can he seen in the human child, which has, before birth, three pair of distinct, fishlike gills. This proves the descent of man from fish, say the follower of Darwin. Dr. Hagemann now qiarshals these, a well as other facts, ami say that when man's ancestors periodically forsook the waters their swimming bladders were modified into lungs and tlieir gilla were changed gradually into tonsils. It ia reasonable to suppose, says he, that through unnumbered repetitions over aeons of ages, these human progenitor, sometimes seeking land and then forced by the inundations into the water, would eventually develop a faculty of regenerating gilla, and adjusting their forma and functiona between a set of muscles in the throat. . The alternate relaxation and tightening of these muscle in the amphibious age resulted in the pumping in and out of the water. If you examine the tonsila of young children you will aec a little body dotted with little channels. Surely it ia not a wild flighfof fancy not any more so that the object of this arrangement waa to than Darwins and Haeckel to water which then swirled through the throat, surface the a present large and thus allowed the absorption of the necessary oxygen. mk-robi- c THE UTAH BUDGET Work is to begin st once on the Carnegie library at Brigham City.

Swearing in itself is siufui and as such should not be practised by anybody.

The prejudice against green com is giving away in England. An American consul in England in a recent report says: Up to a recent period an attempt to offer green corn in any form for sale in England, or even to speak of it as a desirable article of food, met with ridicule, except among the more intelligent data. The working class looked upon corn as a food solely for animal consumption. Now, however, the nutritious qualities of com are gradually being admitted and its cheapness as an article of food r&ogniled by all clashes. A usual in England, the practise of using it is dropping down from the higher to the lower class. As the variety of English vegetable course is mall, properly prepared green sweet com would be a desirable addition. , Great masses of men have broken with the church. Especially the laboring classes have forsaken the church. It ia a commonly known fact the saloon is the working-ma- n dub. The church must offer at least as much fellowship aa the saloon to win back the labor-in- g man and 11 other men. The wage earner resents being patronized, ' he but accepts opportunities for fellowship. ch A certain urchin. Chicago displays the sign, Come In and Get Eight . AVith Clod. Now one of the best ways to get right with God is to get into church good, wholesome fellowship with men, but iq the nothing more than prayer is permitted. So far as it goes, all right. But the church as a whole must loosen up or it will lose out. , above-mention- f ed i J4D0 by A Co., suite-hous- e h erty was Identified as part of the merchandise stolen from a store.
