"a Drunkard's Brains.

Hyrtti, by far the greatest anatomist of the
age, used to- saysthat he could distinguish,
in the darkest room, by one stroke of the
Ascalped, 'the brain Of the inebriate from that
ofthe person who had lived soberly. Now
and then he would congratulate lhisclass upon
the possession Ola drunkard's brain, admir-
ably fitted from its hardness and more COM
plete preservation forthe purpose Of demon
stration. When the anatomist wishes to
preserve a human brain for any length Of time
he effects his object by Keeping that organ in
a vessel Of alcohol. From soft pulpy sub
lance, it then becomes comparatively hard.
But the inebriate, anticipating the anatomist,
begins the i1durating process before death;
begins it while the brain remains the conse--
Grated temple u the soul, while its delicate
