Weight Ofthe Brain.

Tie following facts regarding r, the rrl
atye size and weight Of the brain arc
condensed from an able lecture on This
general subject, lately delivered before
the American Institute, by Professor
Bnrt G. Wilder:
The average weight Of the human
brain j., between forty to fifty ounces;
and il is larger aud heavier than that
of any animal. with two exceptions
that of IA large whale, which has been
found to weigh five pounds, and that OF
an elephant. ranging from eight to ten
pounds. Tie brain Of full grown
gorilla Weighs about !itecn ounces. As
general .u'e. the more Intelligent AMI
ma,s have larg'r brains in proportion 10
their wright Of tody: and in this the
dog shows hi' superiority 10 the COW:
sad man to tie elephant and wha'e.
rhis rule has its exceptions, however
since in mary birds the brain is larger
in proportion to the body, than in man;
and the body Of the little "ouist:ti," or
marmosoi monkey of South America, IS
only twenty times a5 heavy rs It's brain,
it was found that lie average weight OF
two hundred anl seventy eight male
EuroTean brains was foriy-pine and
one half ounces, while that Of one han
drcd and nineteen female brains was
forty -four. The order, however, re-
vcrsrd. if the ratio Of brain to body to
be the standard: for in elghiy-onc
male brains the ratio was found TO be
as to $50, whil+ in oighty-one ie-
male brains it was us to 80 26.
Carcfa'ly prepared tabl's indicate
that IN Lo,h sexes the brain increases
rapidly to tho ase Of about seven years.
and les rapidly to fourteen years, and
alierward more slow Y to the twenll"th
year, near which date it at;ans IL great
est weight. After tie age Of tiliy, the
brain seems to lose about an ounce for
each decade. The average wei"ht Of
the brain. with one thousand int"iigen,
persons, exceeds that Of M cqnal num-
bcr Of ignorant ones; but observation
proves that large brain Kay often co.
exist with a sliaht degree of inielii-
geuce, while on the ether hard, a very
high degree Of intellectual power and
general culture nay characterize indi-
vi3rals whose brain is bclow ihc aver
age. Hence it appears that neither alb
solutc SIZE or relative size Of tie Whole
brain is sufficient test Of mental power,
either in animals or human beings.

Imagination and Disease.

Thc influ nee Of the imagination i,
he stimulation OF disease has often beer
proved. II wa' in France, we believe
hat an experiment WAS made upon ;
soldier. who being condemned 20 di,
for some infraction Of military diScip
iue was handed over to the scientist;
us living subject. He was placed in .
hospital. anl told that all around him
were patients suffering from small pox
Although this was not true, .hc man
was soon taken violently sick, and dis
played every sympiom OF the disease
Instances tending to establish this re-
markabe domination Of thc mcntal fac
uities over the body are nnl rare, aud =
story is going the rounds Of the news
papers which uay bc cited in this con-
rectiOn
A Soung man in New York went in
to drug store and asked for icriy ccnis'
worth Of strychnin'. The drues;s,
gave him harmless powder, which he
swallowed. He then explained th:t his
expectations had been b!i2hted, and he
had taken the poison TO kill himself.
The druggist told him there was not FL
teen minutes life in him, and that lie
was beginning to fade abou: the eyes
already. The youth sank to the floor,
and the sweat streamcd from his brow
lie was becoming very sick, mentally
and bodily, and appeared to be dying.
The medicine man became alarmrd al
the effect Of the dose and examined the
jar from which he had taken the pow.
der. 1t was sugar Of milk, sure enough,
perfectly harmless, and yet producing
sposms AS last resort, the yonh-
man was informe that he had ,okcr
no poison, but, instead, very ha'mlsSs
powder, Il bushel Of which wonid not
Kill. The information Put stop To the
dying business, and he walked tut Of
,hc store disguised, promising however,
10 give the corouer an early JOB. 1t wa.
the opinion Of all the bys'anders that
The mere Imagination OF poison in his
system was really Killing the youth.

The habit Of looking on the bright

they want rather than what they have
counting the difficulties in the way
instead Of cCntliviug means TO overcome
them-arc almost certain to live on corn
bread, lat pork. and sat fish, aud sink
TO unmarked graves. The world is sure
to smile upon a man who seems t. be

and that they are still less able to say

MY LOVE is DEAD.

BY ADA vROoMAN LESLIE.
How cold the night, how chill
The moonlight on the hill
My love hash had her will,
she lieth still
The SLOW how silver bright.
Like some strange drift of white
Soft, deadly flowers that kill.
She sleeps, brt yet I know
How fairy soft and low
Her spirit footsteps go
Where Gods flowers blow.
How warm she now must lie.
Though far from earth and me,
She loved God so.
She sleeps. lut shall | sleep
BY night. when shadows creep,
Or day when rivers leap
To tie great Deep?
No thought she had to :.
But haste to be away. s~~
Nlr care that should weep.
Right roor the robes that clad
Her body, but to glad
Her heart, my love she had.
Like u soft garment spread,
All times TO wrap her round.
Ii such great love found,
What thing could make me sad y:
What fault, what lack in ire
That she so cold should be,
That she should yearn for Thee,
Thou God Of Agony:
l know not-who replies.
| only know she lies
Tonight, made one with Thee.

The Jefferson Mo- Tribune says:
A gentleman who lives in Vernon

To a pretty little tune,
Holding up her dainty MOUTH
Sweet as roses born in June.
Will was ten years old that day,
And he pulled her golden curls,
Teasingly, and answer made:
sJ'm too old don't kiss girls"
Ten years pass. and Marguerite
Smiles, as Will kneels at her feet,
Gazing fondly in her eyes.
Praying, "Won't you kiss me, sweet?"
Rite is seventeen today;
With her birthday ring she toys
For moment, then replies:
