Phosphorus and the Brain.

In an article on the ''Higiene of Chronic
Nervous Diseases" read by DR.. Beard be-
fore the Kings County On. " Medical
Society, the author says: ''Although the
generalization of Agassiz, that fish feeds
the intellect, is among the widest and
most unscientifc ever made, yet there is
little doubt that the so-called sea food,
fish and oysters, is excellent for the nerv-
Gus system, and very likely in part by vir-
tue of the phosphorou, it contains; but it
no more feeds the intellect than phospho-
rus given in any other way.
"a healthy brain and an intellectual
brain are rot synonymous. One may be
perfectly well, and at the same time per-
fectly stupid; a fool may ca. like lower
animal. while the great philosopher barely
keeps himself alive. While food is essen
tial to thought. yet the force in TODD is not
converted into thought force. Good think
ers, like good athletes, are usually liberal
feeders; but thousands WHO eat rs much
or more have very little intellect or mus
Gle. The effect OF diet largely of fish
seems to be sedativc, calmative, like that
bromide of potassium, or phosphorus, OF
electricity-lixe these remedies, producing
dullness rather than Intellectually. and in
ducing disposition to sleep more than to
think; not accellerating, but slowly quiet
ing down the wheels of the mind, and
therefore excellent and adapted TO: the
nervous, and overworked, and overwor-
ried,"

''Henry" writes to learn why it is that
one end Of moustache curls more easily
than the other. He says that the right
side of his naturally curls upward, while
the opposite end as naturally lops down.
ward. This is not natural function of
the moustache. 1t is the training. If the
owner of the moustache is unmarried, the
curl of the moustache indicates on which
side of young lady he most frequently
sits. For instance, it on her righl side, the
left hand and arm, having an office of their
own to till, the hand of the right arm is
lett free to toy with that side Of the NOUS
tache, and curling up the end is its favor
ite pastime. This is reversed if her left
side is preferable to him. As a general
thing it will be found that young mems
moustaches curl best on the right side.
If the wearer is married the curl indicates
on which side of the church is his pew. If
on the right side of the church, the curl
will be OF the left of the roustache, as this
position throws his left elbow on the back
of the seat, thus bringing the left hand to
his face, when the fingers naturally fall to
work at once. The reverse occurs if the
pew is on the opposite sitle. "Henry" can
rely on this information, as il Is the result
of years Of careful study and research in
,Houstache statistics.-Danbury Ne.os.

Heat, says the Lancet, oppresses the

A Great Farm Maxim.

The successful life of Mr. Jacob Straw.
the prince of American farmers. is attril,-
utcd to the close observance of the follow
ing maxims. originated by him:
Make your fences high and strong. so
they will keep cattle and pigs out. Ifyou
have brush make your lots strong and Sc
cure and keep yotT hogs from the corn.
BE sure to get your hands to bed by
seven o'clock. They will rise early by
force of circumstances.
Pay hand, if lie is poor one, all you
promise him; if lie is a good one pay him
a little more; it will encourage him to do
still better.
Always feed your hands as well as sn,,
feed yourselves, for the aboring men are
the bone and sinew of the land and ought
to be well treated.
l am satisfied THAT getting up early, in
dustry. and regular habits, are the best
medicine prescribed for health.
When rainy, bad weather comes so YOU
can't work out Of doors, cut, split and pile
your wood, make yonr racks, fix your
fences or gate, and patch the roof Of your
barn or house.
Study your own interests closely, and do
not spend your time in electing Presidents,
Governors. and other small officers, or
talk of hard times, and spend your time
in whiting store boxes.
Take your time and make calculations
do not do things in hurry, but do them
at the proper time, and keep your mind, as
your body, employed.

there is nothing disgraceful in the fact of

no offer of marriage is no disgrace, for il
