TIE A cfinn of the Brain

The brain, the organ of the highest
manifestations of life, performs its ac-
tions like the spinal cord, and an elabo-
rate network of bloOd-vessels distrib-
utes the nutritive fluid throughout all
its parts. Yet the mass of brain does
not keep its functional activity con-
stantly at work. The whole organism
rests after the days labor is over; the
brain, when not working, preserves
only its life of nutrition therefore the
religions of ancient Greece, not without
reason, regarded sleep as the brother of
death. The quality of blood transfused
into that organ during these two condi
tions, so different, of sleep and wake
fulness, is not the same. DIR Pierquin
had the opportunity of making observa-
tiOns upon a woman in whom disease
had destroyed large part of the bones
of the skull, and deprived the brain of
its membranoUs covering; the nerve
mass, quite exposed, shown with that
brilliant luster observed in all living
tissue While at rest in sleep, the sub
stance of the brain was pink, almost
pale; it was depressed, not protuding
beyond its bony case. At once, when
all the organs were quiet, the patient
uttered few words in low voice, she
was dreaming, and in a few seconds the
appearance of the brain completely
changed a; the nerve-mass was lifted, and
prominent externally the blood-vessels,
grown turgid, were doubled in size
the whitish tinge no longer prevails
the eye sees an intensely red surface.
The tide of blood increases or lessons in
its flow, according to the vividness of
the dream. When the whole organism
returns to quiet, the lively colors of the
infused blood fade away by degrees,
and the former paleness of the organ is
observed again. The succession of these
phenomena permitted the conclusion
that increasing action of the cerebral
cells attracts a considerable quantity of
blood to them.-POpatlar Science

The Principles of the Oranges.
PREAMBLE OF THE CONSTITUTION.

AAA+1AhAhAAL VI IEtE tONSIllbI4ON.
"Human happiness is the acme of
earthly ambition. Individual happi-
ness depends upon general prosperity.
The prosperity of a nation is in
proportion to the value of its produc-
tiOns.
The soil is the source from whence
we derive all that constitutes wealth :;
without it we would have no agricul-
ture, no manufacture, no commerce. OF
all the material gifts of the Creator, the
various productions of the vegetable
world are of the first importance. The
art of agriculture is the parent and pre-
cursor of all arts, and its product the
foundation of all wealth.
"The productions of the earth are
subject to the influence of natural laws,
invariable and indisputable; the amount
produced will consequently be in pro-
portion to the intelligence of the pro-
ducer and success will depend upon
his knOwlede of the action of these laws,
and the proper application of their
principles.
"Hence knowledge is the foundation
of happiness.
"The ultimate object of this organi-
cation is for mutual instruction and pro-
lection, to Tighten labor by diffusing a
knowledge of its aims and purposes, ex-
pand the mind by tracing the beautiful
laws the great Creator has established
in the universe, and to enlarge our
views of creative wisdom and power.
"To those who read Alright, history
proves, that, in all ages, society is
fragmentary and successful results of
general welfare can be secured only by
general effort. Unity of action cannot

81 oline cannot be enforced without sig
aIficant organization; hence we have a
ceremony of initiation which binds us

powerful, its application is as gentle as
that of the silken thread that binds a
wreath of flowers"

1.-THE work of the subordinate oranges

First, we organize the oranges, and

is none the less true that our happiness
and well-being would be better pro-

social natures.
After the organizing period has
passed, we come to the business or ma

The extent and general distribution
of our coal measures is for obvious rea-
sons a subject of universal interest.
Present wants and uses are no indica-

We have, as yet, no exact survey to

The attention of some of our inventors
has been turned to the devising of fire.
extinguishers, which owe their efficacy
to the use of small quantity of water
impregnated with carbonic acid. This
gas, composed of one equivalent of car
bon and two of oxygen, is one of the
most active extinguishers of fire known
to modern science. Neither fire or life
can exist in an atmosphere containing
from 10 to Is per cent of this element.
It is the "choke damp" which is found
in unused wells and shafts, and its pre-
sence is detected by the instant exiting
uishment of light lowered into it. A
neglect of this precaution, which is alb
soltely necessary for those who descend
into such wells, has caused the loss of
many lives. IF any method could be
devised, by which this gas could be
made Immediately available, it would
do much toward checking CONGREGATIONS.
This gas is easily procured by mixing
hydro chloric acid, diluted with three
or four parts of water, with marble-lust
or any other carbonate; and being
elastic, lit might be stored in strong
metallic vessel. In large manufacturing
establishments, and In stores and ware
house which contain valuable stock of
merchandise, receivers could be kept
filed with this gas for instant use, with
large generators to keep up the supply.
1t could be distributed throughout the
building, or to any given floor, at an in
stant's notice through perforated pres,
which need be but little larger than
those used for conveying water or gas

would soon, if the building was closed,
become so mixed with carbonic acid as
not only to prevent the spread of fire,
but also to completely "put it out :"
and that too, without any of the damage
incident to the use of water. An appar-
atus of similar character could also be
used in vessels, and on the discovery of
a fire in the cargo, the air in the hole
could he thoroughly mixed with this
gas, and all danger of disaster averted.

The Career Of a Great Remedy.

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was
briefly announced that new vegetable tonic and
Alternative, bearing the name of Hostetters Stom-
aeh Bitters, had been added to the list of proven
tive and restorative medicines. The modest adj
vertiscment which invited attention to the pre-
paration stated that it had been used with great
success in private practice, cure for dyspepsia,
bilious complaints, constipation and intermittent
fever. 1t was soon discovered that the article pos
sessed extraordinary properties. The people, of
every class tested its merits as tonic, stimulant,
corrective and restorative, and found that its
effects more than fulfilled their hopes and expecta-
tions. From that time to the present its course
has been upward and onward, and it stands to-day
at the head of all medicines of it's class American

reputation as safe agreeable and potent invigor-

KILLING POTATOES Controversies as
to the relative merits of level or hill
culture for potatoes keep constantly
coming to the surface. The fact is,
good potatoes may be raised by either
process. On light soils the crop should
be hilled but little, if any, but on close
heavy land, we advocate planting near
the surface and the formation of mod
crate hills. These, however, must be
made and finished before the tubers
have formed, for any additional earth
heaped over the stolons causes new ones
to be formed, and the result is crop of
small potatoes. But if the hills have
been formed before the tubers have
set and weeds spring up between the
rows, the horseshoe or hitler which
formed the hills may be used to scrape
the weeds and keep up filth without
addingsan more earth to the crop.

The following exquisite verses were written b,
Emily Bronte, the less famed but not less giftec
sister Of Charlotte, when but fifteen years old:
The house is old, the trees are bare,
MOOnless above bends twiight's dome,
But what on earth is half so dear
So longed for as the hearth of home?
The mute bird sitting on the stone
The dark moss dripping from the wall
The thorn-trees gaunt, the walks o'ergrown,
love them, how I love them all
Still, as I unused, the naked room,
The alien freight died away,
And from the midst Of cherries gloom
passed to bright, unclouded day,
A little and alone green lane,
That opened on common wide:
distant, dreamy, dim blue chain
OF mountains circling every side,
A haven so clear, an earth so calm,
So sweet, so soft, so hushed an air.
And deepening still the dream-like charm
Wild moor-sheep feeding everywhere.
That was the scene, knew it we'll.
knew the turfy pathways sweep.

Boy UNDER SPEL1.-There is a boy,
says the San Francisco Figaro, in one
of our schools who wears a green velvet
suit, which is broken out with bell but
tons. There is a great change in the
boy since he commenced to go to school
several months ago. He was then but a
trife better than an untutored savage,
although we frankly confess that we
don't know what an untutored savage is.
His first experience in school was a
spelling lesson. While the class was
going through the exercise, he sat on
the platform, near the teacher, and
locked his hands across his knees, and
watched the class very intently The
first word was ransom. "By gracious, :"
said he, drawing his teeth very hard.
The teacher gave him a reproving look,
and went on, multiply. Thunder and
lightning, what word" he cried, in a
storm of delight. Again the teacher
nailed him with look, and proceeded,
OSCILLATION. At this he just raised him
self on his feet, and shrieked in per-
feet frenzy of ecstacy, "By godeys,
gentlemen, just shove your teeth into
that" This broke up the lesson.

have 5000 lbs. of dry matter sprea /
over an acre, or not quite three ounces

duced to powder it could hardly be
seen on the surface of the land, and we
might think that the manure had gone
