It belongs to a primitive state of society. If this be true of the language of tho brown Polynesians, who are considered a pre- Malayan nice, how much moro so of the language of the Papuans, who are evidently a much older race, tho dialects of which not only greatly differ from tho Polynesian, but dill'or vory much from cell other.

It is by no means an uncommon opinion, even amongst intelligent people, that de graded savages liko the Papuans, many of whom aro notorious cannibals, havo no proper language at all, and that the mis sionary who settles amongst them has to make one for them. In a well-known magazine just to hand, there is an account of the distinguished African missionary, Dr. Moffat, by a reverend D.D., who states about tho missionary hero that " he set to work by himself and mado a language, reduced it to writing, taught it to the natives [I I], and then commenced a trans lation of the Bible." This idea of a mis sionary making a language is rather amus ing, considering the difficulty some of us have in acquiring tho .one we find in exist ence. The fact is that a missionary has simply to learn the language of his people, write it out, translate into it, and teach the people to read. It does not follow_that because a tribe or nation has no written language that their speech is merely n kind of gibberish, having neither correct sense, sound, nor grammar. I havo been living amongst Papuans for more than a quarter of a cen tury, and have reduced four of their lan guages or dialects to writing, and can testify that in somo respects they are even superior to our own. Some of them have a court and a common language, inclusive and exclusive pronouns, dual and trial numbers, and the words are all as precise in their meanings as if they had beon defined by Johnson or Jamieson. The grammar is as regular aud uniform as if it had been formed by Lindlcy Murray or Lennie, whilst the pronunciation is as exact as if it had be'on settled nnd phonographed by Walker, Webster, or Worcester; thus clearly' pointing backward to a higher state of civilisation from which they are falling. How come these can nibal., to have such a language if thoy have not brought it down with them' ! If all our civilisation is to be traced to a slow but gradual development from a state of primitive barbarism and savage ex istence, how are we to account for the state of the natives in Now Guinea and tho South Sens ? Here aro two large sections of jlire-historic men who ore still in the age of stone and lake villages. Where is the evidence that they aro advancing in either civilisation, intelligence, morality, or happiness? The fact is—however it may disagree with accepted theories—that there is abundant evidence that both races are retrograding, and none whatever that they are advancing, except undor influences from without.

Since I became acquainted with the bush tribes in tho vicinity of the Fly River I havo been much interested in the discovery that soino of them practise cremation, wait ing and mourning till the body is reduced to ashes, whioh are pieced [together in the form of a human being and left. This is the first time that I have come into contact with the practice of this rite in New Guinea, nor have I heard of its being practised in any other part of the island. If it be true that " the custom of burning the dead was well-nigh universal in remote ages in the countries of the Old World," then it is probable that the Papuans brought this custom as- well -as others with them. It seems from Homer to have been the general custom in the most refined period in the history of Greece. It was also a Druidic rite, which is said to " agree better than burying with the venerable Druidic theory of transmigration, which is so little tinder stood at tho present day, but which is so closely associated with tho doctrine of evolution." By the side of cremation may be placed the rite of circumcision, which is practised in some parts of New Guinea, and on some of the South Sea islands. Making fishing-nets might also be referred to as a branch of industry amongst the natives, tlie knowledge of which was brought from some of the old centres of civilisation. In different parts of New Guinea my wife has surprised and amused the natives by taking their netting out of their hands and doing a little for them. It is tho same stitch as that of our own country. The stone gods and charms found amongst the natives of New Giiinea, and on most of the islands in the South Seas, some standing erect from one to eight feet in height, others portable and carried about by the natives, also point to very ancient forms of worship—the Lingam symbolism of the Seiva Culte in India, for instance. Linguists, like the lamented Bishop Patteson, have also noticed a striking resemblance between the gram matical structure of the Hebrew language and the Papuan dialects, especially as to tenses. The poetry of these people seems also more akin to Hebrew than either Greek or Latin. "It is measured by no feet. It is neither rhyme nor blank verge ; nor does it correspond in structure to the Hebrew parallelisms. It seems littlo elso than prose —elevated prose it may be—but cut up into divisions, like verses, and these are followed by choruses, chiefly single syllables with no meaning. This, accord ing to Dr. Kitto, was the kind of singing with which Laban wished to send away Jacob. Tho style of the poetry seems to afford facilities for improvising. The music is a kind'of chanting. It runs along on tlie principle of a short noto.an'd a long note alternately within.a narrow scale."

I might also refer to their legends, some of which are remarkably liko the records of Old Testament history, and may be found in my "Story of the Lifu Mission." All these things, and much more of the kind, plainly indicate that these natives have fallen from a higher civilisation, that their progress is downwards, and that they are merely the remnant of a worn-out race.

Now let us consider that the first empires that arose, in the world were formed by descendants of Ham. Nimrod, the grand son of Ham, went into Assyria and founded Nineveh, and tho city which he built and the empire continued forages to overshadow all Western Asia. Mizraim, the son of Ham, founded tho Egyptian monarchy and the Philistian Commonwealth. Canaan, the fourth son of Ham, settled in Palestine, and his descendants founded first theCanaanitish kingdoms, then Tyre, and subsequently Carthage. These were for a very longtime tho leading nations of the world s thoy pos sessed its highest civilisation, and held all but a monopoly of its commerce. These young monarchies no doubt sent forth strong and vigorous colonies, which took possession of tho Asiastic Archipelago, Australia, New Guinea, and Western Poly, nesia. From the Asiatic Archipelago they appear to have been driven out by a suc ceeding and superior race, who also in time, being similarly treated by tbe Malays, passed on to occupy the islands in Eastern Polynesia, fighting and mingling with the Papuans on their way ; in some cases suc ceeding in driving them into the interior and forming settlements on tho coast, _ts on the south-east peninsula of Now Guinea, and some of the large islands in the South Seas. This pre-Malay or Polynesian race has left momentoes of its passage in the Poly nesian names of various places.,' and in out lying remnants of their own race on scattered points pf tho Papuan Archipelago. Perhaps tho last and best confirmed' attempt of those Polynesian - wan derers at permanent settlement on Papuan aoil was at tho Fiji Islands. The number of Polynesian names by which these islands and places in them aro called, even now by their Papuan inj habitants argues a permanence of resi dence that cannot well bo disputed. The large infusion of Polynesian vocables in the Fijian language, and tho mixture of the two races, especially in tho south-eastern part of tho group, indicate a^protvaoted sojourn, and an intercourse of peaoe as well as of war. I think tho foregoing considerations plainly indicate the whence of the people of New Guinea and Western Polynesia. In a future lotter I may treat of their manners and customs.

As soon as it had been tested and proved .by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuablo family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up. and began to steal thenotices in whioh the Press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and In every way trying to induoo' suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name ot H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names, in which the Word " Hop ■ or "HopB" were used in away to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or namo is, and especially those with the word "Hop' or " Hops " in their name, or In any way connected with them er their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them.

Dear Sir,—l _...>i.i; io u.ua my cheerful endorse ment of the good streets I have at all times re ceived from the use of St. Jacob's OU when in aotive training and racing. During my recent B days'contest held in the Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and the championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day'B performance, and the re sult* simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my llmba would become sore and stiff from over-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as ti_e_i as ever. Ab proof positlve.after the contest was over. I rode 10»miles against lime before a pub lic audience ahd accomplished it in G hours 11 minutes 15} seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was m_.de, and it removed all feel ings of futiyrue and I felt perf e'etly tit for another race. Am positiveit aided me to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all "wheelmen" and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir.
