They Fade Early.

This IS what u traveller in Spain says
After Spanish woman has passed the
age of thirty her beauty vanishes like a
dream. The Spaniards are gallant enough
to say that women should die at that age.
They use SO much powder that it dries
and hardens tie skin, and to good soap
many of them are strangers. But q
young Spanish girl is an attractive object.
Give her becoming dress and place in
her hand fan, and she becomes almost
irresistible. One cannot but marvel at
the witchery and grace the fan, thing
of paper, lace and silk, possess in her
hand. It must be an accomplishment
born with them, for the tinniest child
handles hers with equal ease. They have
as many fans as Flora McFlimsy had bon
nets, for no costume is complete without
fan to match. But charming as they
are they are not highly cultivated; their
education is limited A few of the COM
mon branches q smattering Of French
and Italian little music and dancing
finishes it. They are very indolent but
that is the fault of the climate. Eating,
dressing, great deal Of sleeping, walk,
going to church, little fancy-work fills
their day, the monotony of which is &C.
casionally relieved by little filtration
that may only consist of smile, glance
and whispered word on the Alemada.
Not until the wedding-ring has been
placed upon her finger can Spanish wo
man enjoy full liberty, which is, all things
considered, wise arrangement

The Heightat Which Birds Fly.

Nature.
1t is much to be desired that some
thing positive were known as to the
height at which it may be possible for
birds to perform their passag ges, but on
this point We have $50 far as I am aware)
little information. The experiments
made by Mr.. Glaisher on the six pigeons
taken up in his celebrated balloon ascent,
September s, 1862 Qaep: Brit. ASS, 1862,
page $3.50, unfortunately admit of no
definite deductions. One pigeon thrown
out on the height Of three miles 'textcnd-
ed its wings and dropped as piece of
paper A second at foEr miles "tlew Wig
orously round and round. apparently TAX
ing dip each time" 4 third between
four and five miles "fcll downward as a
stone A fourth at four miles, in the
descent 'tlew in CIRCLE" and then
alighted on the balloon. The two re-
naming pigeons were brought down and
one as found to be dead! Perhaps lit
tie more 'practice" or "experience' was
wanted, but at any rate, the results do
not seem to favor the notion that birds
can fly comfortably at these heights.
Nor is it surprising considering the we'll
known effects of the larltcation of the
air at great heights. of course pretend
to no special knowledge of this subject,
but Mr.. s. W. L. Glaishcr, F. R. s., kindly
informs me that at an elevation Of five
miles the density of the air is about 1-2 Z
of what is on the earth's surface, at an
elevation Of seven miles about 1-4.1, and
of ten miles about 1-7.5, / know not
whether experiments have been made
to test the endurance of birds lite un-
der such condition as the last, but it
could, of course, be easily produced un-
der an air-pump. 1t would not he so
easy to test the power Of flight under the
same condition. 1t is only obvious that
the power would be very greatly dimin-
ished, and should be glad t. learn the
results of any investi CATION of this kind.
Physicists and psychologists might here
give ornithologists great help.

Two Theological Stories.

Here are two matters of theological
nature-one from Texas, the other from
Ireland-which illustrate phases of belief
as to the ultimate destination of the par
ties to the dialogues. The first is of two
old Texan rangers, who had just helped
to bury neig ghbor, and were talking
about religion, and one asked the other
how pious he thought it was possible for
a man to get in this world, if he was in
real earnest.
"Wa'al," said the other refectively, II
think that if a man gets so t he can swop
steers or trade horses without lyin', at
he'd better pull out for the better land
afore he has relapse"
The next is Of an Irish laborer, who
was lying in the ditch, very much the
worse for liquor. He was encountered
by the priest of his parish. Very much
shocked, his reverence turned Pat over,
who muttered: "Where am I2''
"On the road to HE'LL" replied the
priest sternly.
II thought so," said Pat, "when heard
Father hurtagh's voice on the road, too. !"

A Fracture Of the Skull.
DR.. Maudsley. In Portability Review.

Dr.. Msudsley, In Portability Review.
Some years ago miner was sent to the
Ayrshire district asylum who, four years
before, had been struck to the ground in
sensible by mass of falling coal which
fractured his skull. He lay unconscious
for four days after the accident, then
came gradually to himself, and was able
in four weeks to resume his work in the
pit. But his wife noticed steadily-in-
creasing change for the worse in his char
acter and habits; whereas he had for
merly been cheerful, sociable, and good
natured, always kind and afectionate to
her and his children, he now became ir-
ritable, moody, surly, suspicious, shun-
ming the company of his fellow-workmen,
and impatient with her and the children.
This bad state increased; he was often
excited, used threats of violence to his
wife and Others, finally became quite
maniacal, attempted to kill them, had a
succession of epilectic fits, and was sent
TO the asylum as dangerous lunatic.
There he showed himself extremely sus-
piclous and surly, entertained fixed de-
lusion that he was the victim Of 4 con-
spiracy on the part of his wife and others,
and displayed bitter and resentlul feel
iags. At the place where the skull had
been fractured there was well-marked
depression Of bone, and the depressed
portion was eventually removed by the
trephine. From that time an improve
ment took place in his disposition, his
old self coming gradually back; he be-
came cheerful again, active and obliging,
regained and displayed all his former
affection for his wife and children, and
was at last discharged recovered. No
palmer example could be wished to show
the direct connection Of cause and effect
the great deterioration OF moral char
acter produced by the physical injury of
the supreme nerve-centres of the brain,
when the cause was taken sway the
effect went also
