Art

habits of our far-back ancestors, with whom arms and legs shared the offices of prehension and locomotion. Some attempt has been made to render the aspect of these people-the long, strong arms, the short legs and in-turned prehensile feet, the flat nose, the powerful jaws. The outcome is not pleasing, but it brings out by a process of inversion the comparative beauty of the modern face, and makes for the development of the love of beauty. Beauty of face and of person is seen to be the result of the intellectual progress, the improvement of the arts, and the moral uplifting of civilization, and not, as is so often believed, a mere happening without reason or relation.
