That man,, considered only as to his physical re- lations was but an animal, and there- fore was no exception to the rule. To sustain this position facts from history and 1 science were cited and the conclu- sions of eminent men. I shall now attempt to show that, he has degenerated int<'JkcttiaUy,i>r in nth-' er words that lie lias not progressed. If the conclusions of my former article arc correct this will npt be difficult, for it is a conceded fact that a strong mind can >t. be sustained except in a strong body.' This is a physiological law. If. tihuu'oui: ancestors were stronger physi- cally; it must of necessity follow that they were likewise stronger intellectual- ly.

The great divinity school at dlexan- dria gave to the world such religions teachers as Origen and dlhanasiils and many others, whose teachings, slightly modified, are the teachings of to-day. In- the arts, such as Painting and Sculpt- ure we are content to - be the m ere copyists of Greece and Rome. The ancients, in the fine arts are our ac^ kuowledged masters.

They had books on religion, ag- riculture ainl the useful- arte. In their cities they kept records extending back to very ancient times. There were workers in iron, brass, or copper alloyed with tin, for war, agriculture and other domestic -purposes in; nute-ililuv-ian times. Tliere were workers in gold and silver among the Hebrews and -neighboring nations, as appears from the or uiynents sent by Abraham to Rebekah. Their skill was evidently derived from the Egyptalns. Various processes for working the precious metals are illustrated by the Egyptian monuments. Moulding and wrought metal, including soldering was long known to them. The carpenters trade is no modern one as readers of the Bible, well 'km>w, : nor is that, of the mason,, whose im- plmients are said to have been the saw, the p|mnb-li'ne, the measuring reed, the chisel' and mallet, nor did they \daub with un- tempered mortar,\ although Solomon's Tem- ple was constructed without it, either tem- pered Or uhtempered.

Spinning and weaving of wool and linen; as already referred to, was carried oh and with weaving also embroidery, in which gold and silver threads were interwoven in figure patterns, in the body of the cloth, or with precious stones set in needlework. There were tanners, (tailors; barbers, shoe- makers; plasterers, glaziers; painters, tent- makers, bakers,, and even cheese-makers in those days.. The Thebans are said to have invented brick.

This knowledge has had its deserved effect, \ and farmers now hir«h up and drive a dozen miles into Hammond to do their trading,- instead of taking the train tor Ogdensburg orWatertowD.
