The Brain.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, writing in
the Atlantic, upon the brain. says:
'No sound working brain, without
enough good blood to build it, repair
it, and furnish the materials for those
molecular changes which are the condi-
tions essential to all nervous actions,
intellectual and volitional, as we'll as
those of lower grade. No good blood
without proper amount of proper food
and air to furnish materials, and healthy
organs to reduce sufficient quantity of
these materials to state fit to enter the
circulation. No healthy organs, strictly
speaking, except from healthy parents,
and developed and maintain d by
proper stimuli, nourishment, and use.
No healthy parents-no help for it. We
are, of course, applying the term
healthy to the brain, as signifying much
more than freedom from disease. A
healthy brain should show, by the out
ward signs of clear, easily-working in
telligence, we'll. balanced faculties, and
commanding will, that its several
organs, if such there be, or its several
modes of action, if it works as a whole,
are properly developed and adjusted by
themselves and in relation to each other.
eli we could only bespeak a brain
for one of the freshman class of 1890
as we lay ont for an unborn colt to run
for q cup in two or three years But we
have to take the brains as they come,
and the range of difference is so enor-
nous, that one is tempted to say there
is no such thing in tho abstract as
good education. Have we not seen
young men who had been for three
years rained on with professional teach
ings of all kinds. upon whom the
anxioms of science had been dropping
long enough to wear hollows in
stone, and who have come out of the
showers of instruction with intellects as
dry of knowledge MS if Mr.. Macintosh
had furnished each of their brains with
an impermeable dura mater ?"

Young Man, Stick to II.

There is a deal of regret expressed in
speeches, letters to agricultural papers,
and in editorials by kind-hearted, WE'LL
intentioned editors, that the boys are
leaving the farms. No doubt many
young men have reaiized the fact that
farm life is no harder than city life.
Many have been wise enough to return
TO the farm after testing the realities of
life in a city. But the boys who leave
the farm for the city or village follow
the examples of older men. TIL num-
Der of well-to-do farmers who have re-
allied beautiful homes, reached middle
age and have sold their farms, bought
village or city lots and settled on them
with view of "taking things easier. :"
is not email one. These men do 80
with the same or similar motives with
which young men leave the farms, and
they are as often disappointed in the
results.
We know farmers, both young and
old, who have abandoned profitable and
beautiful farm homesteads, removed to
tho village, invested their capital in
trade, got pretty thoroughly "cleaned
out" in business in which they had no
practical experience, and have bought
back their homesteads at an advanced
price, running in debt to gel possession
of them, and working hard and con-
tentedly to pay again for what they
once possessed. Some of these men
have said to us within the last two
months, ga farmer is fool who sells
his farm thinking to have an easier and
happier time in village or city," The
effect of such reaction in the case of
these examples upon those who stick to
the farm is exceedingly wholesome. It
renders them content. They have not
wasted their substance in "putting up
stakes" and removing from "the old
landmarks" They have been steadily
accommodating as farmers and gathering
about their homesteads all the modern
appliances for the conservation of COM
fort and content. The farmer who
" sticks to it" is sure to win what city
made money readily purchases-inde-
pendence, happiness, and sense of Sc
curity which is the result of well doing.

Will Whisky Free re?

It was lately stated as an example OF
intense cold that in Montana, on the
night of the 18th instant, the mercury
in the Thermometers all froze small
quantities of mercury in walls became
CONCEALED, and proof whisky placed out
Of doors froze solid in half an hour.
This last item is the only one which
has elected an expression of incred-
ulity. The proof whisky that froze
in half an hour is regarded by a con-
temporary as beyond belief. The freez
ing of the mercury happens at thirty or
forty degrees below zero, but absolute
alcohol, it is declared, has never been
frozen. though Prof. Farraday found it
looked little turbid when subjected to
temperature (altificiaD of 166 degrees
selow zero. High wines contain rs
per cent of alcohol. Proof spirits of
government standard are placed at 80
per cent. alcohol, and as the Newark
IN. j. Advertiser remarks, the alcohol
this Montana whisky contained would
have separated from the water in the
progress of freezing like the "core" in
a frozen barrel of cider. If it actually
froze solid it was harmless variety of
whisky. In the severest cold of the
Arctic explorations proof spirit never
froze, though there was q burleeque
about the men in Parry's expeditions
choppiDg the brandy out of the cask
with an Ak. The probable explanation
of the Montana phenomenon is that the
spirits were set aside in an open vessel,
when the whisky evaporated rapidly
and left the component water frozen.

For Love Of an Empress.

Lucy Il. Hooper writes to the Phila-
delphia Press from Paris: 81 have
heard lately the following melancholy
and romantic little story relative to a
royal lady whose personal charms and
sweet and graceful manners have rem
dered her as unconsciously dangerous
to her masculine adherents as ever
Mary Stuart was of yore. It appears
that during the latter years of the en-
pire the attention of the empress, who
ever has been distinguished as an intel
ligent and munificent patroness of art,
was called to the works of a rising
young painter-a Spaniard or an italian
by birth-who had just completed his
studies and had achieved admission to
the salon. She was pleased with his
pictures, purchased several of them,
and gave him a commission for two or
three others. Finally, at his earnest
solicitation, she consented to sit to him
for her portrait, which proved to be a
striking likeness and q most admirable
work of art. From that time forward

every public place where he could OBJ
tain a glimpse of his fair and royal
patroness. When she went to the
theatre or opera he invariably occupied
an orchestra stall in front of the impe-
rial box, and when she drove out he
sought to cross her path in order to OBJ
tain from her one of those graceful
bows and one of those sweet, melan-
choly smiles which she Away bestowed
with such courtesy upon those who
saluted her. At last came the war and
Sedan and the republic, and park and
theatre and opera box knew that fair
face no more. Deprived of even those
passing glimpses of tho imperial lady.
the young artist became morose,
gloomy, and misanthropical he shut
himself up in the solitude of his
studio, and employed himself chiefly
in reproducing his portrait of the en-
press-a work which met with ready
sale among the friends of imperialism
in Paris from its intrinsic merit no less
than the fidelity of its likeness. The
other day he was found lying dead in
his studio, with pistol shot through
the head, and with the discharged pis-
toll still clutched in his lifeless hand"

A BRAVADO'S DEATH.
The speech OF a Man on the ScanoId II
Nevada.

The Speech OF a Man on the ScanoId I'm
Nevada.
An astonishing display of bravado on
the scaffold was made at Carson, Neva-
da, by John Murphy, on the Goth ult.
To warm his feet before he left his cell
he danced lively jig on the iron floor,
and said /: "Don't forget, am not a
Tom Paine man; believe in God and
spiritualism." Arriving at the scaffold,
Murphy mounted the stand, and seating
himself with his legs crossed, waited
calmly. The sheriff read the lengthy
death warrant, the condemned man
smiling the while, and at the utterance
of the words, "Dead, dead, dead !"
gave a hollow laugh. During the read
ing of the warrant Murphy walked
across the scaffold for drink of water,
and, the officer pausing, he said /: $50
on, sheriff, hear you" Murphy had
asked for an hour to speak, and by his
preparations it was evident that he in
tended to occupy all the time allotted
to him. he proceeded to say that he
had killed his adversary in lf-defense,
and accused one of his lawyers of fatal
incompetency. He then entered on a
long protest against capital punishment.
After reading extracts from the works
of Judge Edmunds, he asked fol a chew
of tobacco, and repeated a poem of
great length in the Scotch dialect, said
to have been dictated by the spirit of
Robert Burns to Lizzie Dolan, spirit
ualistic lecturer. Murphy walked un-
easily to and fro upon the scaffold dur.
ing the delivery of the speech, and
pointing to the motley crowd of men,
women, hoodlums, Indians and China
men congregated on the hillside to wit
ness the execution, said. Well, they
have come to see me off," Kueeling, he
read prayer from his book, and rising,
said to the sheriff, 81 am ready"
He stood up under the fatal moose,
and held up his clenched fists as if in
defiance. The sheriff approached aud
pinioned his arms. During the opera
ton Murphy remarked "I'd like to
give those judges little rub, by
Seeing friend in the crowd, he
sang out, "Hello, Sweenyr' and then
his eye ought that of a reporter. and
he said, "You are a reporterP" "Yes,
Murphy" answered the reporter.
"Well, just tell them that you've seen
me in tight place." The sheriff was
then adjusting the fatal moose. Those
were his last words.

What the Shah's Visit to England Has
Done.

The Cologne Gazette states that the
shah's visit to Europe has occasioned
many alterations in the external appear
ance of the upper and middle classes in
Persia. Shoes are worn, the baggy
trousers are reduced, the chin is shaver
an innovation obnoxious to the ortho-
dox Mohammedan-the cap is not SO
high, and the whole dress is mixture
of Armenian and European fashions.
But chairs are not adopted they are
used only for European visitors, while
tho natives fold their legs on the cushion
or foot-stool. In religious matters the
old fanaticism is less frequently dis
played, and the missionaries enjoy great
liberty. The numerous Armenian Chris
tians are conscious of the protection of
the Russian ambassador, and their in
fuence is materially increased by many
of the foreign residents marrying their
daughters, as European wives often go
to Europe, and are a burden rather than
a comfort to their husbands, while the
Armenian women are not inferior in
looks to their English sisters. The
old abuses in the government still exist.
The army is real plague spot.

threes, select the time when the police
officer has Just passed on his weary
round, to commence operations. If you
have Watchdog, it is drug yed if You
have a corrupt servant, he has been,
perhaps, bribed. A mold has been taken
of your house key panel is removed
or perhaps entrance is effected through
he windows opening on your veranda.
The burglar, who has pulled on thick
stockings over his boots, moves rapidly
and without roise. Plate and money
are his two great desires, but he will
take almost anything rather than go
EN- )ty-t anded. So cleverly managed
is the whole affair, that the police Off
Ger may pass by door out of which
panel has been replaced with q sheet of
painted or grained paper provided for
that purpose. Outside comrade is on
guard, and the burglars are careful not
to leave the house until the signal that
the coast is clear. Immediately on
reaching their quarters the thieves
change their clothes the next thing to
do is to get rid Of the plumber, than
which nothing is easier if it be plate.
Jewels are also readily disposed of, but
not so profitably for the robbers.
With all that has been said, there is
but little danger where proper pre-
cautions are taken. It is a curious fact
that these men who inform themselves
go carefully as to what and where they
can steal, venture little willingly, and
they are careful to learn whether your
bars alone protect your house property.
Keep a good dog inside your house and
a revolver at your hand, and you'll have
but little trouble from burglars and if
they do come, never bring down light
when you go to see what is the matter.

or expansion observable. When swal-
lows sweep near the ground, uttering
plaintive cries, rain is at hand; when
they mount up, fly from side to side,
and play together, fine weather will fol-
low. When a single maybe leaves it's
nest in the spring it is sign of rain, but
the reverse is the case when two parent
birds leave it in company. Rain is
near when the peacocks utter frequent
cries, when parrots chatter more than
usual, and when geese are uneasy.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

CABBAGE WoRM.-After trying vari-
GUS remedies, we have found boiling
hot water from a watering pot, the
simplest, easiest, and most effectual
mode of destroying the cabbage worm.
If applied quickly and not too long on
the leaves, it produces no injury. 1t is
easy repeated as occasion requires.
FAMILY GLUE.-We make our glue
in the following way; Crack up the
glue and put it in bottle add to it
common whisky /; shake up, cork tight,
and in three or four days it can be used.
1t requires no beating, will keep for
almost any time, and is at all times
ready to use except in the coolest
of weather, when it will require warm
ing. 1t must be kept tight, so that the
whisky will not evaporate. The usual
corks or shoppers should not be used.
1t will become clogged. A tin stopper,
covering the bottle but fitting as closely
as possible, must be used.
THE United States of America pro-
duce annually about 275, 600, 900 bushels
of wheat, or about 81 bushels per cap
ita. OF this amount they consume
over $50, 900, 600 bushels, or about 81
bushels per capita; and have about 49,
100000 surplus left for sale, The
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland produces annually about 95,-
600, 900 bushels of wheat, and consumes
100 0O0 mn I,,,oboJo -, about Ks I,r,l,
els per capita. It has therefore de-
felt to purchase, amounting to 90 much,
of wheat, as all it produces, or 95, OOO,.
600 bushels. Thus, England has two
bushels of wheat to buy where we have
one to sell.

Cold Paris In the Winter Time.

The Parisians do not know how to
enjoy snow. Snow-bell parties and
shedding are unknown, and young and
old go YEARLY about the streets half
bent and heavily, as If just ready to
give wsy beneath the burden of this
great affection. There are many rea-
SONS for this dread of snow, but the
chief is probably economy. Fuel is
scarce and dear. A msjority of the
people do not buy thick wooden clothing
for the few cold days chat we have dur
ing the winter, and within they crouch
miserably before the little CRATES in
which one or two small spices of wood
are barely kept alight, and throw out
no heat. The contrast between the
rousing fires enjoyed by our common
laborers and those kept up by the we'll
to-do bourgeois OF Paris is very striking.
Even the larger chateaus are miserably
warmed, and it is hopeless task trying
to take the chill of your room with the
little fagots given you for the purpose
The poor cannot think of having the
luxury of fire, and the little handful
of charcoal or braise used to prepare
the coffee, or the pot an Jeu, is imme-
diately e1tinguished when the meat is
prepared. Here cold weather entails a
vast amount of misery, and snowy days
are regarded as affections which must
be borne, but which cannot fail to have
